CIVIL DOCKET Pike Circuit Court Jeremy Drew sues Amanda M. Drew for dissolution of marriage. Citibank NA sues Gary Sloan for col- lection. In Re: Title request for Ronald L. Up- pencamp. Dear Rusty: I am originally from Switzerland. I moved to the States, got married in 2012, and became a US Citi- zen in 2016. I never worked in the Unit- ed States, but have 44 years of Social Se- curity contribution in Switzerland, and have received a pension from there since I turned 62 (I'm now 64). Is it correct that I cannot apply for Social Security here in the States on my husband's account un- less he is collecting his Social Security benefit? He will turn 62 this year, but is still working and does not want to col- lect before 70. Signed: Immigrant from Switzerland. Dear Immigrant: Yes, it is correct that you cannot collect U.S. Social Secu- rity spousal benefits from your husband until he starts collecting his own Social Security benefit. As soon as your hus- band's benefits start, you can apply for your benefit as his spouse, even though you aren't eligible for U.S. Social Securi- ty on your own. As a U.S. Citizen and cur- rent legal resident of the United States, you are eligible for U.S. spousal bene- fits from your husband even though you spent most of your life as a resident of Switzerland. Since you mentioned your contribu- tions to the Swiss social security program, I'd like to point out that there is a Social Security "totaliza- tion" agreement between the U.S. and Switzerland which permits using some of your Swiss credits to qualify for U.S. Social Se- curity retirement benefits, but since you have nev- er worked in the U.S. that bilateral agreement won't work for you. To use some of your Swiss credits to get U.S. Social Security on your own, you would need to have at least six (6) credits from working in the U.S. in a job which contributed to the U.S. So- cial Security program. Unless you have at least six U.S. Social Security credits, you cannot use the bilateral agreement with Switzerland to get your own SS re- tirement benefit, so you will need to wait until your husband claims his Social Se- curity to start collecting spouse bene- fits from him. Assuming your spousal benefit from your husband will be high- er than you would be eligible for on your own anyway, not getting your own Social Security retirement benefit using the bilateral totaliza- tion agreement is inconse- quential. You should be aware, too, that by your husband waiting until age 70 to claim his max- imum SS benefit, and since you will have passed your own full retirement age by that time, the higher amount he gets at age 70 will be your survivor benefit if your hus- band should pass before you do. Upon his death you would get his full age 70 ben- efit instead of the smaller spousal bene- fit you will get while you are both living. Your benefit as his spouse while both of you are living will be 50 percent of the benefit your husband is entitled to at his full retirement age, but your benefit as his surviving widow will be 100 percent of the benefit he is receiving at his death.

Swiss Immigrant asks about spouse benefits Social Security Matters HEALTH Continued from page 4 Public Health Emergency Declaration The Secretary of Health and Human Services re- cently extended the Public Health Emergency (PHE), which is now set to expire in April. Various regulato- ry and funding implications are tied to the declaration and its extensions. One such policy is the 6.2 percent in- crease in Medicaid funding provided to the states under the Families First Coronavi- rus Act. This funding is avail- able through duration of the PHE. However, states receiv- ing these funds must consent to federal rules limiting their authority to enforce certain Medicaid eligibility rules. Looking ahead, some states, especially those now run- ning surpluses, may decide to pre-emptively forgo the ex- tended emergency funding to regain their ability to manage their own Medicaid eligibili- ty rules. Waivers While the Administration took swift and unprecedent action to revoke certain Med- icaid waivers, there are still other previously approved waivers related to Medicaid and the A ffordable Care Act (ACA) that remain in flux. Georgia, which had its 1115 Medicaid waiver revoked by the Biden administration last year, was also put on notice that its Section 1332 ACA waiver was under further re- view. This waiver allows the state to use a private, online site, rather than a govern- ment-run site, to assist con- sumers in shopping and se- lecting a health plan. The future of Tennessee's 1115 Medicaid waiver is also uncertain. It gave the state additional flexibility to re- organize the financing of it Medicaid program based on budget targets. Beyond these two waivers, the Biden ad- ministration may initiate yet another round of waiver re- views in 2022. Other Administrative Policy Changes Expect the Biden admin- istration to further ramp up its regulatory power in 2022. For example, the recent- ly released Obamacare pay- ment rule further rolls back Trump's regulatory reform efforts by imposing new fed- eral rules and mandates on health plans, restricting Americans' options. Addi- tionally, CMS recently out- lined its priorities for Med- icaid. These include making enrollment in Medicaid easi- er and ensuring that enroll- ees can maintain coverage more easily. CMS also indi- cated that it would consider initiating policies aimed at establishing a "federal floor" for health care services. More broadly, the Adminis- tration has also indicated that it would reframe its health policies to focus on address- ing "diversity" and "equity" as well as addressing "social determinants" of health. Action in The States Health care is already re-surfacing at the state lev- el. The California legislature is considering a radical pro- posal to adopt a single pay- er model, while Gov. Gavin Newsom has unveiled plans to expand government-fund- ed health care to illegal immi- grants. Analysts and policy- makers will also follow how three "public option" plans fare in Washington, Nevada and Colorado. Of related interest is how the Biden administration might respond to these lib- eral-leaning state initiatives, including whether it might use its federal power to bol- ster these state efforts. Expect also to see contin- ued efforts in several states to impose government price controls on pharmaceuticals, as well as new initiatives to extend price controls to oth- er sectors of the health care economy. In contrast to these ef- forts to secure greater gov- ernment control over health care, one can expect more mainstream and conserva- tive state officials to focus on measures to open up their health care markets to great- er competition. They are also likely to continue to make permanent some of the key deregulatory actions taken during COVID pandemic. These changes in- clude opening access to care through telehealth services, broadening access provid- ers with licensure chang- es, and removing costly and anti-competitive certificate of need rules on access to health care facilities. Federal and state lawmak- er will continue to be quite active on the health policy front this year. The question is, "Which approach will gain more ground: one that depends on more govern- ment-based interventions— whether federal or state— or one that removes govern- ment regulatory barriers to expanded patient choice and market competition." Nina Owcharenko Schae- fer is well known as a cham- pion of patient choice and ro- bust competition in America's health insurance markets. e Pike Central Chargers compete in six varsity spring sports: Baseball, Girls' Tennis, Boys' Golf, Boys' and Girls' Track & Field, and Girls' Soball. e Press-Dispatch 2022 Spring Sports Preview will take an in-depth look at each of the coaches and all of the teams.
