Hicks added, “Former President

Jimmy Carter is the greatest example

of the care hospice provides and he

has been on hospice for more than a

year.”

To be eligible to receive hospice

care, a physician has to certify that

patients have a terminal condition,

where if it runs its normal course,

life expectancy is six months or less.

The care Oaklawn Hospice pro-

vides includes nursing, social work,

spiritual care volunteers and aides

who can assist in many areas, includ-

ing bathing.

“Families are provided bereave-

ment services for a minimum of 13

months after the loss of their loved

one to offer support through their

grief and bereavement journey,” said

Hicks.

In addition, Oaklawn Hospice has a

grief support group that meets in the

community.

Another big misconception noted

by Hicks is that Oaklawn Hospice

only sees patients in Marshall.

“We go all the way to the Indiana

border,” said Hicks. “We go as far

north as Eaton County, west into

Kalamazoo County and east into

Jackson County.”

Oaklawn Hospice’s offices are at

13444 Preston Drive in Marshall and

may be contacted at (269) 789-3939.

Scams to steal your personal infor-

mation are at an all-time high.

That’s why it remains critical to

safeguard important personal docu-

ments like your Social Security card.

A Social Security card is not an

identification document.

In many situations, you only need

to know your Social Security number

(SSN).

Your physical card is not necessary

for most business needs.

Do you need evidence for work?

There are several documents you

can use instead of your card, includ-

Social Security cards are safer at home

ing a birth certificate; permanent

resident card or alien registration

receipt; an employment authoriza-

tion document; or Form I-94 or Form

I-94A.

You do not need to show your

physical card to apply for certain

benefits.

You can simply provide your SSN

for benefits, like housing, health

insurance or food assistance.

You should also know your

physical card is not required as evi-

dence for the Department of Motor

Vehicles.

The only state that requires a phys-

ical card is Pennsylvania.

For all other states, acceptable

evidence includes W-2 forms; Form

SSA-1099; non-SSA-1099 forms;

and pay stubs.

Keeping your card at home reduces

the risk of loss or theft - and helps

you keep your information safe.

card and information safe, visit the
