The following scam has been reported in Columbia County!
Don’t fall for it if you should receive such a call.
An older adult received a call at their home from someone stating they were from the
“Office for the Aging” and wanted to let the older adult know they were the recipient of
a legal settlement. The caller confirmed the individual’s name, then cited the correct
social security number and asked the older adult to confirm the number. Fortunately,
the older adult quickly hung up on the caller, without further comment. They then con-
tacted the sheriff’s department and local office for the aging to see if there was any va-
lidity to the call. The OFA also reported the incident to the county sheriff’s department
and to NYSOFA for increased awareness.
DO NOT BE FOOLED!
SAY NOTHING and JUST HANG UP!
DO NOT GIVE OUT
or CONFIRM PERSONAL INFORMATION
and DO NOT ANSWER YES/NO QUESTIONS,
ESPECIALLY “DID YOU HEAR ME?”

SIGNIFICANT TAX SAVINGS FOR SENIORS:
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE FILING YOUR RETURN NYS Tax Department and Office for the Aging highlight “subtractions” for senior citizens and retirees filing NYS income tax returns
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance reminds seniors and retirees that certain “subtraction
modifications” may reduce their New York State adjusted gross income, while tax credits they may qualify for
decrease the tax due or increase their refund amount. The modifications relate to certain income included in a
taxpayer’s federal income tax return that may be subtracted when computing the New York adjusted gross income.
The details are provided in the NYS Tax Department’s Publication 36, General Information for Senior Citizens and
Retired Persons.
“We encourage all seniors to review this publication that’s available on our website along with other useful filing
information, to help ensure that they don’t miss out on valuable deductions and credits,” said Acting Commissioner
Nonie Manion. Greg Olsen, Acting Director of the New York State Office for the Aging said, “Many older New
Yorkers are on fixed incomes and it’s important that they’re aware of this publication, which can reduce their tax
liability and help stretch their resources. We’re pleased to join the Tax Department in getting the word out about
Publication 36.”
Examples of the subtraction modifications include:
The pension and annuity income exclusion: New Yorkers 59½ or older for the entire tax year may exclude up to
$20,000 of qualified pension and annuity income from federal adjusted gross income when determining their New
York adjusted gross income.
Married taxpayers who both receive pension income are each entitled to a maximum pension and annuity income
exclusion of $20,000, whether they file jointly or separately.
Social Security benefits that are included in federal adjusted gross income are exempt from state and local income
taxes and may be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income when computing New York adjusted gross in-
come.
Qualified pension benefits or distributions received by officers and employees of the United States, New York
State, and local governments within New York State, are exempt from New York State, New York City, and
Yonkers income taxes regardless of the taxpayer’s age.
These are only a few of the many subtraction modifications listed in instructions for Form IT-225, New York State
Modifications available at www.tax.ny.gov (search: IT 225).

Nutrition Month is centered around a different theme each year, and this year the theme is “Put Your BEST FORK
FORWARD”! A reminder, that we hold the tool, our fork, to make healthier food choices.
Nutrition Month is sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and is celebrated every March. The focus
of Nutrition Month is to help people make better food choices as well as creating good eating and exercise habits.
Try out a new healthy food each week to give yourself variety, vary cooking methods as this gives food a different
taste and dine at one of your local ethnic restaurants, they often offer lots of healthy food options.

NEWS from the ADVISORY COUNCIL to the GREENE COUNTY DEPARTMENT for the AGING
The Older Americans Act requires that Area Agencies on Aging establish an Advisory Council for the purpose of
advising the agency to develop and administer annual and multi-year plans; conduct public
hearings; represent the interest of older persons, and review and comment on all community
policies, programs and actions which affect older persons. It offers input on these activities
and carefully reviews the plans for accomplishing these tasks.
There currently is a vacancy on the Council
for a Mountaintop representative.
Potential members should have qualities that enable them to function effectively. They should
be able to recognize older adults' needs in the community and take an active role in working
toward building a continuum care system. Important personal qualifications include lead-
ership, ability to positively interact with others, commitment to representing the interests of
older adults, and a willingness to devote time and effort to the council's goals.
For further information, contact Terry McGee Ward at 719-3555.
At this time, the Council would like to extend their gratitude to Walter Thompson of Windham
for having served on the Advisory Council. We wish you good health and happiness in your
future.
