They have not realized that not only will they pay tax on the interest, but they may also lose the income supple- ments for the following year because the interest boosts their income above the minimum level. You must be sure to declare the interest, for income tax purposes, each year even though you do not actually receive it until the end of the third year. It is also possible that a person might not be entitled to the sup- plement they are receiving because of income not taken into account by the Federal Old Age Security Administration. You should write to Box 2500, North Shore News details of your situation and in- cluding your name, address and social security number so that this can be reviewed.
