Wetlands, the transitional lands - between terrestrial and aquatic > #4 environments, have never been widely appreciated by the general - public. If the average citizen had any feeling at all about wetlands, he considered them unproductive areas which were useless unless ~ filled and converted for more tradi- + 4 & 6 % 3 tional and familiar purposes. Yet in recent years there has been a growing appreciation of wetlands for their positive attributes in such areas as water quality enhance- ment, flood control, wildlife habi- tat, and natural beauty, and society’s perception of the value of the wetlands resource has signifi- cantly matured. By examining the role of the Federal, State and local govern- ments, this workshop will explain the responsibility of Pennsylvania’s municipal governments in regulat- ing our wetlands resource. The workshop is co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Economic Develop- ‘ment Council of Northeastern Penn- sylvania, and the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs.

People who do not report may become overpaid and have to return some of this money later. Also, they may have to pay a penalty. The most common cause of over- payments - in 6 out of 10 cases is too much earnings from work. Some payments must be withheld from a person under 70 whose 1988 earnings exceed a certain amount: $8,400 if the person is 65 through 69; or $6,120 if the person is under 65. If a person goes over the limit, $1 in benefits is withheld for éach’ $2 of annual earnings above! ‘the limit. Also, there is a monthly test that applies in the first year’ of retirement. There are different rules, which include medical considerations, if a person works while getting disabil- ity checks. A person should let Social Secur- ity know if he or she starts or stops working or if 1988 earnings will be higher than reported earlier. A person should do this any time during the year there is a change. The easiest way to report is by phone. Also, Social Security should be notified of certain other changes that often lead to overpayments such as: -Death or marriage; -Medical improvement of disabled person; A student 18 or over stops attend- ing school full time; and -A parent or other payee no longer has custody of a child or other beneficiary.
