SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS By Chad Ingram, Social Security District Manager in Hutchinson EVEN THE DARK OF WINTER LOOKS BRIGHTER AT WWW.SOCIALSECURITY.GOV According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, winter arrives at 6:12 a.m. eastern standard time December 21. For many people, winter means shorter days, chillier temperatures and more time indoors. There are many
ways you can use that extra time inside. For example, you may want to spend a few minutes checking your earnings history and getting an estimate of your future Social Security benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement, where you can access your online Social Security Statement.

for Social Security retirement benefits, you can do that without going outside or visiting an office. Instead, brew yourself a cup of coffee or tea and sit down at your computer from the comfort of your home to apply online. Chances are your hot beverage will last longer than the time it takes to apply online for retirement benefits. Our website makes the retirement application process quick, easy and secure. In most cases, once your application is submitted electronically, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Social Security will process your application and contact you if any further information is needed. You can use the online application to apply for Social Security retirement or spouses benefits if you: • Are at least 61 years and 9 months old; and • Want to start your benefits in the next four months. Before starting, we suggest you have the following information on hand: • Your date and place of birth and Social Security number; • Your bank or financial institution's routing transit number and the account number for direct deposit of your benefits; The amount of money you earned last year and this year. If you are applying for benefits in the months of September through December, you also will need to estimate next year's earnings; • The name and address of your employer(s) for this year and last year; • The beginning and ending dates of any active U.S. military service you had before 1968; • The name, Social Security number, and date of birth or age of your current spouse and any former spouse.

Hugoton students visit Sterling College Over 100 students and teachers from Kansas high schools, including Hugoton High School, traveled to Sterling College to participate in art workshops Friday, November 30. The students attended three workshops of their choice covering mural painting, concept art, photography, charcoal mark making and costumed figure drawing. Workshops were led by Assistant Professors of Art, Hanna Kozlowski-Slone and Daniel Swartz, Lecturer in Art, Shawn Cordel and Sterling College students. “We’ve had very positive remarks from all of the students,” said Dennis Dutton, director of admissions. “Several students said they enjoyed the workshops and learned about new things. The teachers from the area high schools appreciated the hands-on experience that their students were able to take part in. We are very pleased with the responses of both the teachers
and the students.” While students were at the event, they also were given a tour of campus by the admissions office and ate lunch in the newly renovated Student Union. Dutton said the event was a good way to introduce students to Sterling College. They plan to host a similar art workshop day in the spring. Participants from Hugoton High School were led by Doug Waters. Students included Manuel Calzadillas, Raphaez Cruz, Kaitlyn Leininger, Jose Licon, Erin Lopez, Paul Nash, Brianna Villa and Katey Watkins. Sterling College is celebrating 125 years as a Christ-centered, four-year, liberal arts college located in Sterling. Since 1887, Sterling has provided quality academics with a mission to develop creative and thoughtful leaders who understand a maturing Christian faith. For more information, visit www.sterling.edu.
