2019 Beach Blast was a hit
By Loretta Cozart
Last weekend, thousands of beach music fans made their way to Kings Mountain for the 20th Annual Kings Mountain Beach Blast celebration. The oppressive Friday night heat gave way to cooler temps on Saturday, as a light rain fell in the early part of the day.
It was decided the event would go on and by early evening a thousand plus fans were at the venue enjoying music, food, crafts, games and rides. The temperatures Saturday evening dropped to the 60’s, but that didn’t deter the fans who came to hear The Band of Oz. Folks
danced the Shag in front of the stage and in the crowd until the last note played. Across the center of the seating area, sponsor pagodas were setup giving them an excellent view of the stage. Beach music fans sat closer to the stage and a friendly atmosphere was enjoyed by everyone. Kids
had their choice of a variety of games and activities until darkness fell. “What a fantastic night we had in Kings Mountain as we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Beach Blast! I stayed all day and our visitors commented how well the event went. They were also complimentary on how
well the park turned out. Liberty Falls Amphitheater at Patriot’s Park is now open in Kings Mountain," said Mayor Neisler. “This promises to be the epicenter of entertainment for a long time to come. Many thanks to the employees that made this two and a half year dream come true!”
Despite the large crowd of attendees, there were no incidents reported by the Kings Mountain Police Department. Primary sponsors for this event include NTE Energy, LLC, Shelby Asphalt & Paving, and Kings Mountain Travel and Tourism.

Dr. Eskridge retires By Loretta Cozart On June 30, Kings Mountain’s beloved veterinarian, Dr. Jerry Eskridge, retired from his practice of 42 years. When asked about his career, Dr. Eskridge said, “My career started out different from how it ended. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Industrial Relations in 1961. My first job was at Margrace Mill in Kings Mountain for two years. “Then I was hired to work at Fiber Industries in Earl. My wife Lynn and I married in 1965 and our first children were Britt, an English setter and Shamrock, an Irish setter who slept with us every night. I loved these ‘kids’ and looked forward to getting home from work every day to spend time with them. The Eskridge’s are Cleveland County natives. Lynn Lineberger Eskridge grew up in Shelby and lived next door to Red Bridges on Suttle Street. Jerry Eskridge was

ESKRIDGE
reer. “After my first job at Margrace Mill, I had memories of all the fine people in Kings Mountain and I decided that would be the perfect place to settle with my practice. “I opened Kings Mountain Animal Hospital in 1977 and started out treating some large animals, horses and cows, along with small animals and decided it would be more efficient timewise to stay at the practice rather than going out to the farms. However, I continued to treat any large or small animal that was brought to my practice.” Eskridge shares one memorable story, “I did treat a small animal soon after I opened that I thought might have been better to treat away from the practice. A client brought in a skunk that needed to be descented. Lynn said she regretted not taking a picture of me during that procedure, but she couldn’t stay in the room. Tears were running down my face, but I wasn’t crying…it was just the odor!” As for his office, Eskridge is cleaning out. He
has had several inquiries on the property and isn’t sure exactly how that will work out. For now, he asks his clients to arrange to pick-up their pet’s records and get any needed medications he might have on hand. As for retirement, the Eskridge’s look forward to spending time with family. Daughter Beth is a med tech at WakeMed in Raleigh; son Rame is a musician and worked at Gibson Guitars in Nashville for 20 years in the warranty department and has now moved to Athens, Ga. and is working at the University of Georgia School of Music accounting department; and son Will is a musician and full-time animal artist in Athens, Ga. with wife, Marie, a middle school teacher, and their 18 month old son, Doc. Eskridge shared his gratitude to those who put their trust in him with their livestock and pets, “For 42 years, my life as a veterinarian has been a blessing and a privilege. I appreciate the opportunity to help and work with everyone and their beloved pets. I am thankful for all the clients, pets, friendships, and continued support over the years.”
From Page 1A love for all animals was increasing quickly. I was able to find time to spend with Dr. Ted Westmoreland and, thankfully he also found time to help me learn more about the life of a veterinarian. Our first real child, a daughter, was born in 1968 and now I had another reason to concentrate on the things that fulfill me and allow me an opportunity to give back to what I love and what was important to me,” he said. “So, I made the decision to start my new career. I enrolled at NC State for two years in preveterinary classes, then four years at University of Georgia for a DVM degree,” Eskridge said. “After six years of working on my degree, we had added more real, children, two sons, to our family. When deciding upon a location for his new veterinary practice, Dr. Eskridge remembered fondly the days early of his ca-

OPINION
Wednesday, August 28, 2019
TODAY’S QUOTE:
My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. – John F. Kennedy
Pieces of Kings Mountain History Last weekend, I drove to Kings Mountain to experience the newly LORETTA completed COZART Liberty Falls Amphitheater in Patriot’s Park first-hand and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Beach Blast. I gathered with friends in the cool Fall air and enjoyed the strains of Beach Music. I was most impressed by the new stage, with its state-of-the-art lights and sound system. I realized
immediately the potential this investment could have on our local economy. Thirty years ago, I was Kings Mountain’s Chamber of Commerce Director and learned the importance of travel and tourism on the local economy. In 2018, tourism revenue lowered Cleveland County tax’s bills to citizens by $90. Everyone who visits our community buys something, whether it be food, beverages, or gasoline. And all those items generate tax dollars. Those who stay the night spend even
more money, so it is in our best interest to find ways to encourage them to do so. Concerts that stretch into the evening are ideal. Recently, the American Legion World Series was held in Shelby. The 7th Inning Stretch event would be an ideal event for this venue. It doesn’t take much to realize the draw of a fantastic stage and sound system. As more event planners learn of this little gem of a venue in downtown Kings Mountain, the more events will be scheduled here for the citizens’ and
tourists’ enjoyment. I often think back to our town fathers, W.A. and Jacob S. Mauney. They understood the importance of tourism and began planning for the commemoration of the Battle of Kings Mountain with a few short years of incorporating our town. Hotels were some of the first establishments in the city. Jacob and his wife owned the first hotel in town. In the early days, the commemoration was held in Kings Mountain proper, because roads were not
good enough to travel to the battleground easily. In 1880, the commemoration was held at the Gold Mine property on Hwy. 161. In the early 1900’s, commemorations were held at Central School. Merchants offered deals to visitors, with discounts on food and using every means possible to keep those dollars in Kings Mountain. I hope our merchants take every opportunity to encourage guests to visit with them. Tourism dollars are good for Kings Moun-
tain. They lighten the tax burden on our citizens and provide enjoyable activities. What a wonderful gift the citizens of Kings Mountain have at their disposal to enjoy for the next 50 years. Andrew and Jacob Mauney would be pleased with the Liberty Falls Stage. It is beautiful venue and is a great draw for our community. Now it is up to us to plan more events that will draw those tourists and their dollars into Kings Mountain.

(September 15, 17) Another example of how North Carolinians like to be associated with No. 1 is our pride in the Biltmore House outside Asheville, the largest privately owned residential mansion in the nation. In “The Last Castle: The Epic Story of Love, Loss, and American Royalty in the Nation’s Largest Home,” Asheville author Denise Kiernan tells the story of how and why the Biltmore House was built and how its gradual transformation to a high-class tourist attraction made possible its survival. (September 22, 24) Finally, there is a book about the only time North Carolina was No. 1 in professional baseball. In “The Cloudbuster Nine: The Untold Story of Ted Williams and the Baseball Team that Helped Win WWII,” Anne Keene explains how Ted Williams and other major league players came to Chapel Hill to get the Navy fighter pilot training they needed to help win World War II. While they were in North Carolina, they played for a Navy team called the Cloudbuster Nine that was arguably better than any major league team. Keene details the rigorous training the cadets endured and the glory their baseball team brought to North Carolina. (September 29, October 1) Being No. 1, it is not so bad.
for America?
Most Americans are tired. Ask most any American and you will Glenn Mollette hear an Guest Editorial array of reasons why we are tired. The answers range from long work hours to too many obligations. Lots of things make us tired. We can become mentally tired. We all have things to think about and often we dwell on them. We think, we analyze, we worry and we wonder what tomorrow will bring. We ponder on personal problems, family situations, work issues, health battles. The list is almost never ending. Americans deal with health issues and how to pay medical bills. People who have what seems to be guaranteed retirements even worry about the possibility that life could change for them. A good friend once told me his retirement was set until he was 90. “I’m 88,” he said. “When I become
90 I’m going to run out of money.” He lived to be 91. Many American s worry about outliving their money. Making more money if you live into your eighties has to be more difficult. Overall, Americans are tired of all our problems. We’re tired of hearing about another killing. We are tired of hearing about our drug crisis. We are tired of hearing Washington and state politicians spout off about what they are going to do but all they do is get richer promising change, solutions and reform that never come.-Americans are tired of all the arguing we see on television and hear on radio. We know how many of our social media friends feel about the issues. Whenever an issue comes up it’s the same people talking the same rhetoric as before. We already knew how they felt before they said anything. However, some people talk and some people act. About the only action it seems that matters much is voting and it’s sad when some Americans are tired of all

of it but they still won’t drag themselves to the polls and vote. We hear a lot about reviving our economy and breathing more life into America’s work places. We need someone to breathe some life into the average American. Have you ever noticed how many people are walking around looking like they are about half dead? Too many Americans are zoned out, indifferent and zapped of human emotion and energy. Jesus said,”Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest,” Matthew 11:28. He was referring to an internal rest that no one or nothing else can give. He was referring to our spirit, the heart of our internal being. Many Americans and most of the world are trying to feed our souls with any and everything but it never satisfies us. There is rest for America and a peace that passes understanding. This rest and peace is only what God can give and the world can never take it away.

The Battle Over Fear into the wilderness We all and asked God to kill have an ongohim. (1 Kings 19) The ing battle with Apostle Paul told the fear in our Corinthian church of lives. Anyone his experience when who says they he came to Macedonever deal with nia, “Our bodies had it has another no rest, but we were struggle: Pastor troubled on every being truthful. Jeff Longwell side. Outside were Even some Penley’s Chapel conflicts, inside were of the great Church fears.” (2 Corinthians men of faith 7:5) Does that resoin the Bible confessed their struggle nate with you like it does with fear. King David said, with me? While fear may be a “When I am afraid,” not “If.” (Psalm 56:3) Elijah reality we all encounter in the Prophet feared for his this fallen world, if we are life so much that he ran in Christ we are no longer

If we have trusted in Christ for our salvation, we have a Father who calls us to jump into His all-powerful arms. Why do we hesitate? Why do we fear? He will always catch us! He promised He would always be with us! He said, “Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right
controlled by it. Paul said, “You did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ “ (Romans 8:15) According to Paul, the reason we no longer have to fear is that we have been adopted into God’s family. We have a Father who loves and cares for us. We have a daddy! When my children were very young, I would pick them up and stand them on the kitchen counter. I would step back and say, “Jump to Daddy!” Without hesitation or fear, they would

To finish the quote above from King David, he said, “When I am afraid, I will trust in You.” Like so many other things in life, we always have a choice. I have decided that when fear begins to confront my mind, I will choose to push it away and launch myself into the arms of my Father! I pray you will do the same. It’s the only way to win the battle over fear.

Gardening Tips for August By Judy Ford It’s humid and hot but think Fall! It’s time to plan and start your Fall Garden now! Plant cabbage, broccoli, lettuce and spinach for a Fall harvest. It’s also time to bend over the tops of your cooking onions to prepare them for lifting out of the ground. Strawberries, yes think strawberries, fertilize plants to help promote bud growth for next spring for a tasty early summer treat! Continue to examine plants for insects such as cabbage worms, aphids, squash vine borers, etc. Remove Bagworm bags from evergreen plants, they contain eggs that will hatch next spring and eat your evergreens. Concerning your shrubs and trees don’t fertilize or prune, they need time to harden off before cold weather arrives. On

Sheriff Alan Norman encourages safety measures to avoid injury
School bus safety: Does your child know the rules?

Every day millions of students use school buses as transportation to and from Cleveland County school. Sheriff Although Alan Norman school buses represent the safest form of highway transportation, there are a number of safety factors of which both student and drivers should be aware. Hoping to ensure school bus safety, Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County encourages caution whenever school buses are present. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in recent years there were an average of 128 fatalities in school transportation-related traffic crashes each year and more school-aged pedestrians
have been killed during the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. than any other time of day. “Children are often eager to get off the school bus because they are excited to tell their parents about all of the fun they had at school that day,â€? said Sheriff Norman. “It is crucial that parents re-enforce the school bus safety rules children learn at school.â€? Sheriff Norman also suggests that parents drive their child’s bus route with them to practice the proper safety precautions they can take to help ensure their child enjoys a safe ride to and from school. Sheriff Norman encourages all parents to discuss the following safety measures with their children: Students • Always arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early. • While the bus is ap-
proaching make sure to stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, the door opens, and the bus driver says that it’s OK to board. • Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you. • Never walk behind the bus. • If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away. • Use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus. Take extra precautions to make sure that clothing with drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or door. • Never stop to pick something up that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Tell the bus driver or wait until the
bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver. Motorists • Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions. Take extreme caution when traveling in a school zone. • If there are no sidewalks, drive cautiously. Be more alert to the possibility of children walking in the road. • Slow down and prepare to stop whenever you see yellow school bus lights flashing. • Never pass a school bus when there are flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended. This is a sign that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the bus is moving before they can start driving again. • Learn and obey the school bus laws in North Carolina.

KM puts the Dogs up, goes to Monroe Friday
Kings Mountain’s Marlee Arnold sets the pace in last week’s cross country run at KMHS. The KM sophomore is expected to be one of the top runners in the Big South 3A this season.
Arnold first, teams second in XC opener Kings Mountain High’s cross country teams finished second in the opening season run last week in their only scheduled home meet. But, the Lady Mountaineers’ sophomore Marlee Arnold cruised to the individual championship in the girls two-mile run. She crossed the finish line in 13:50. For the Mountaineers, Parker Key finished fifth overall in 12:36. Both teams lost by two points, with the women trailing Forestview and the men Stuart Cramer. Several runners from all schools missed the early-season scrimmage due to several freshmen orientations. Kings Mountain senior
Brooke Clark finished a strong fourth place in 16:56. Lindsay Byers was sixth in 17:15, Zahra Roberts 13th in 17:52 and Abby Parson 17th in 18:48. Nick Willer of Stuart Cramer took the boys meet, followed closely by teammate Zac Willer. Following Key for the Mountaineers was Jesse Hughes in ninth. Dylan Williams finished 14th, Justin Mathis 16th, Jalen Roberts 18th, Dallin Campbell 20th, Tucker Leatherman 26th, William Fuzie 30th, Wyatt Wilson 34th, Simon West 40th, Noah McMurray 41st, Aiden Wilson 43rd, Camden Deaton 55th and Mark Allen 57th.
Kings Mountain’s defense held Burns’ super runner Kujuan Pryor to minus yards, and the offense helped new quarterback Ethan Reid put up impressive passing numbers in a season-opening 34-6 win over a good Burns team Friday night at Gardner-Webb’s Spangler Stadium. With good blocking by the likes of DJ Bagwell and Xavier Brown, Reid made his KM debut by hitting 13 of 15 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns, and scored two of his own on short TD runs. The Mountaineer defense started the season in high gear, holding one of the state’s top running backs to minus 14 yards on eight carries. In last year’s game, Pryor had three long touchdowns totaling over 220 yards. “We didn’t want that to happen again,” Coach Greg Lloyd said. “We were just trying to beat them up front and get our guys on him. The defense really tackled well and made plays. I thought Derek Wilson and Zach Crawford played really good on defense.” The Bulldogs played tough for most of the first half before KM struck for two touchdowns in a two-minute span just before halftime to break the game open at 27-6. The tough KM defense held Burns to three and out to open the game, and then the offense moved 60 yards to take a 7-0 lead on Reid’s three-yard quarterback sneak and Austin Browning’s PAT. Along the way, Reid had first down completions of 34 yards to Kobe Paysour and 10 yards to Luke Bishop. On its next possession, KM drove for a first and goal at the Burns four, but failed to score on three plays from the one. But, starting with 2:18 left in the first period, the Mountaineers started a 55-yard drive for a 13-0 lead. A 30-yard

After a penalty, Quintin Davidson’s 13-yard reception gave KM a third and six at the eight and two plays later Reid sneaked it in from three yards out. Burns capitalized on a high snap that sailed over KM punter Triston Hannon’s head to score its lone TD. Burns took over at the KM 10, and after a huge sack by Javari Rice-Wilson faced fourth and goal at the 16. The KM defense had Burns QB Cam’Ron Sweezy scrambling for his life but he was able to get off a pass to a wide open KJ Leslie in the end zone to cut the score to 13-6 with 3:30 to go in the half. It didn’t take KM long to blow the game open, though. Crawford recovered an onside kick at the KM 42, and two plays later Reid hit Quintin Davidson down the right seam for a 65-yard TD and a 20-6 lead. On Burns’ next possession, Pryor fumbled a lateral pass for a 12-yard loss back to the KM six, and after a two-yard loss on

When Kings Mountain High students entered school Monday they welcomed a spanking new gym floor compliments of the Albemarle Corporation, better known locally as the Lithium Plant off Highway 74. Although there are a few minor things remaining to be done, the gym is fully usable by P.E. students, the volleyball teams, and in the not-too-distant future the KMHS JV and varsity basketball teams. Head men’s basketball coach Grayson Pierce learned about the foundation and how it loves to give back to the communities where they’re located. See GRANT, Page 3B

JV Mountaineers roll over Burns in opener Jermaine Thurman returned the opening kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown and Kings Mountain’s JVs rolled to a 35-0 storm-shortened victory over Burns in their season opener Thursday night in Fallston. With lightning in the area, coaches from both teams agreed to end the contest with 8:45 remaining. Kings Mountain is idle this week as the varsity Mountaineers go to Monroe for an endowment game. JVs are not allowed to play endowment games. Their next game will be Thursday, Sept. 5 at TC Roberson. Sophomore Rashaard Brooks, who was the JVs leading rusher last year, got off to another great start with 115 yards rushing. He scored three touchdowns and threw for another. Burns couldn’t do anything with the tough Mountaineer defense, led by AJ Richardson who was in the Burns backfield all night. Burns gave up a safety on its first possession when their punter stepped out of the end zone, running the KM lead to 9-0. Brooks returned the free kick, and then on the first play from scrimmage went 56 yards around right end for his second touchdown. Aiden Harris nailed his second of three extra points to make it 16-0. After another Burns three and out, KM drove 56 yards. Facing fourth and four at the Burns 36, Jake Lloyd got exactly four yards for a first down at the 32 as the first quarter clock

MONROE From Page 1B ond half kickoff from the five to the 28 yard line to start a five-play, 72-yard drive that culminated with Paysour taking a short pass around the left side and going 46 yards for the final TD of the night. KM finished with 419 yards total offense with six players sharing 166 yards on the ground. Burns managed just 49 total yards against the tenacious KM D. “It was a good first game,” said Lloyd. “I felt good about our defense. That’s as good as we’ve played in a long time. We have a lot of potential. We’re very physical on defense. “The offense was solid. Not getting in when we were so close to the goal line was our biggest mistake. But it’s good when you win against a good team like Burns. “We did a great job on Pryor,” he noted. “We were just trying to beat them up front and get our guys on
Kobe Paysour picks up good yardage on a sweep of left end in Friday’s season opener with Burns at Gardner-Webb. Photos by Gary Smart him. The defense really tackled well and made plays.” Lloyd said it will take a great effort to beat a strong Monroe team on the road this week “They always have a good team,” he said. “They have good tradition. They’ve won a lot of championships in the last 10 years. They’re 3A now and playing in a very tough conference with Charlotte Catholic. They played
Catholic a one touchdown game last year.” Lloyd said the Redhawks have one of the best receivers in the state who reminds him of his own Kobe Paysour. “They run an I and spread,” he said. “Our defense will have to play good assignment football and not get beat deep. We have to shore up our pass defense and play good all the way around to give ourselves a chance.”
“The KM plant is one of their biggest plants,” Pierce noted. “We met with them and they gave us a $45,000 to remodel the gym.” Pierce said the gym floor was sanded and a new surface put down. The boundaries are stained, and are very impressive, as are the three-point lines and a brand new logo. The ceiling is now painted black and the walls white. “We have collegiate-style movable goals,” Pierce pointed out. “We started the project as soon as school ended.” A KMHS graduate, Robbie Spikes, did much of the work, Pierce noted. Pierce and athletic director Matt Bridges believe the fans will be impressed. The gym is much brighter. “The floor is a water base finish that keeps it from yellowing over time,” Pierce noted. “There is less dry time.” The volleyball team recently played on the floor in its recent tournament and the players loved it, Pierce noted. “It was the first time in 15 years that it has been resurfaced and it was in dire need,” he said. Pierce said the basketball

15 years,” he noted. “The school put a little money into the project and the county (Cleveland County Schools) did some. “There are a few minor things that have to be taken care of, but it’s good to go. A few adjustments will be made this week. “We want to thank the Albemarle Foundation,” he added. “It was very much needed. It’s good to see our facilities upgraded.”

College campus safety: Do you know how to avoid a dangerous situation? T h i s fall thousands of students will leave their families and friends to attend col- Cleveland County Sheriff lege. For Alan Norman many, it will be their first time away from home and also their first experience with total independence. It’s an exciting time and a dangerous one. Concerned with this safety issue, Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County urges college students to exercise caution when living on campus. Across the United States college campuses are increasing security measures by installing emergency call box systems designed to immediately contact a 911 operator. They are usually located in frequently traveled areas such as parking lots and main routes used to and from class. Another popular security measure involves campus escorts. This program recruits qualified volunteers to walk
students to and from class after dark. Security cameras and bright lighting are also being used to heighten campus safety. “College campuses are extremely vulnerable to crime because of their openness,” said Sheriff Norman. “It’s difficult to keep buildings and dorm rooms locked because people are constantly coming and going. Another contributing factor is that students tend to develop a false sense of security because of the seemingly peaceful surroundings.” Campus crimes can take many forms – theft, date rape, and drugs to name just a few. It’s impossible to avoid all dangers. However, Sheriff Norman has some suggestions on how college students can better protect and educate themselves through campus safety education. • Never post information as to your whereabouts on your dorm room door, or on social media. If an intruder knows that you are away – it’s an open invitation for them to break in.
• Even if leaving your room for only a few minutes – lock your door. • When studying in outof-the way places, inform campus security as to your whereabouts. • When meeting a study partner for the first time, make arrangements to meet in a public place. • Encourage campus security to establish a photo identification program to deter outsiders from entering school buildings. • Work with your local law enforcement to organize a safety education program to teach incoming students the do’s and don’ts of campus safety. • Familiarize yourself with emergency call box locations. • Learn to trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it. Don’t allow anyone to violate your comfort zone. Submitted by Lisa Poteat

How to Get Social Security Disability Benefits When You Can’t Work Dear Savvy Senior, What do I need to do to get Social Security disability benefits? I’m 60 years old and have some health problems that won’t allow me to work, but I’ve read that getting disability benefits is difficult. Laid Up Lenny Dear Lenny, Getting Social Security disability benefits when you’re unable to work can be challenging. Last year, more than 2 million people applied for Social Security disability benefits, but two-thirds of them were denied, because most applicants fail to prove that they’re disabled and can’t work. Here are some steps you can take that can help improve your odds. Get Informed The first thing you need to find out is if your health problem qualifies you for Social Security disability benefits. You generally will be eligible only if you have a health problem that is expected to prevent you from working in your current line of work (or any other line of work that you have been in over the past 15 years) for at least a year or result in death.
There is no such thing as a partial disability benefit. If you’re fit enough to work part-time, your application will be denied. You also need not apply if you still are working with the intention of quitting if your application is approved, because if you’re working your application will be denied. Your skill set and age are factors too. Your application will be denied if your work history suggests that you have the skills to perform a less physically demanding job that your disability does not prevent you from doing. To help you determine if you are disabled, visit SSA.gov/planners/disability/qualify.html and go through the five questions Social Security uses to determine disability. How to Apply If you believe you have a claim, your next step is to gather up your personal, financial and medical information so you can be prepared and organized for the application process. You can apply either online at SSA.gov/ applyfordisability or call 800-772-1213 to make an appointment to apply at your
local Social Security office, or to set up an appointment for someone to take your claim over the phone. The whole process lasts about an hour. If you schedule an appointment, a “Disability Starter Kit” that will help you get ready for your interview will be mailed to you. If you apply online, the kit is available at SSA.gov/disability/disability_starter_kits.htm. It takes three to five months from the initial application to receive either an award or denial of benefits. The only exception is if you have a chronic illness that qualifies you for a “compassionate allowance” (see SSA.gov/compassionateallowances), which fast tracks cases within weeks. If Social Security denies your initial application, you can appeal the decision, and you’ll be happy to know that roughly half of all cases that go through a round or two of appeals end with benefits being awarded. But the bad news is with backlog of around 800,000 people currently waiting for a hearing, it can take 12 to 24 months for you to get one. Get Help You can hire a representative to help
you with your Social Security disability claim. By law, representatives can charge only 25 percent of past-due benefits up to a maximum of $6,000 if they win your case. It’s probably worth hiring someone at the start of the application process if your disability is something difficult to prove such as chronic pain. If, however, your disability is obvious, it might be worth initially working without a representative to avoid paying the fee. You can always hire a representative later if your initial application and first appeal are denied. To find a representative, check with the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR. org, 845-682-1881) or National Association of Disability Representatives (NADR.org, 800-747-6131). Or, if you’re low-income, contact the Legal Services Corporation (LSC.gov/find-legal-aid) for free assistance. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
