SOClAJW/gj| ?iccouin^ SfOOO-OO I ?*S BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR li&ry S, Jo ^ J_ SIGNATURE mm SOCIAL SECURITY PUftOStS KNOW YOUR SO Social Sent rit to Increase Beginning January 1. 1959. you will be paving social ec curity taxes at the rate of 2V _>'?', instead of 2x\r/t as heretofore. The Company, likewise, will be paving 21 _?f/l throueh a payroll tax to help provide your social security benefits. Nationallv, the increase is calculated to finance an overall boost in benefits of about S650-million a year. The Social Security Amendments of 1958 provide an increase in monthly payments to persons now receiving social security benefits. The amount of the increase will be about 7'/,. although the increase will be slightly more in some checks and slightly less in some others. The minimum monthly increase will be $8.00. Thus, the now benefits will ranee from $113.00 to $116.00 against the 30.00 to $108.50 at present. People who are already getting social security payments do not need to apply for the increase. It will be automatically added to the checks for January, which will be mailed out early in February. Tax Base Is Broadened Also, starting with 1959. the first $4800 of earnings in a full year will be taxed for social security and will count toward social security benefits. The broadening of the tax base from the present $4300 together with the increased tax rate, in effect. raises social securitv taxes from a maximum of $94.50 to $120.00 a year for the employee and company alike. Under the Social Security Act, the tax rates arc scheduled to increase eycrv three years until they reach 41 for both employees and employers in 1969. Under the 1958 amendments. social security benefits will become payable to a number of people not previously eligible. These persons, however, must apply to their Social Security Offices before payments can start. New Groups Become Eligible Among the groups now eligible because of the amend merits are: Dependents of people who are 50 or over who are now getting disability insurance benefits (children under 18 or disabled: a wife of any age who has a child in her care who is entitled to benefits; a wife 62 or over or a dependent husband 65 or over). Disabled people 50 or over who could not qualify for benefits under the old law because they did not have as much as 11 _? years of work in the three years before they OCTOBER. 1958 Insecurity"! f NUMI? ^ * -000011 nes J ! /?nu>L^ '1 jj Aiot for identification CIAL SECURITY y Tax Rate in were disabled. (A total of at least five years of work under the law is still required). Dependent parents whose son or daughter died after 19119 and who could not qualify for benefits under the old law because the son or daughter left a widow, widower, or child. Adopted children whose adopting parents began receiving retirement benefits less than three years after the adoption. (In many cases, his provision will also make possible payments to the mother of the adopted child). A person receiving benefits who marries another person who is also receiving benefits can continue to receive monthly checks, or can become eligible as a dependent of the new husband or wife without waiting three years. Some people in situations similar to those mentioned above may have applied for benefits in the past and may have been notified that they f\'\f\ n/\l nnolifif T/w v??v? *?\/v Vjlllllll V 1V/1 JJCIV IIlUIll^. These people should get in touch with their Social Security District Offices promptly about filing new applications. Disabled Workers To Benefit Disabled workers whose social security disability benefits were reduced or were not payable because they received workmen's compensation or other federal disability payments will begin to receive the full amount of their social security disability payments. (These people do not have to file applications. Their social security ftli'f'lrvc vt'oro ctnrtnJ nnlnmot ically with checks mailed out early in September.) U n d e r the amendments, there is a slight change in the rules on how much a social security beneficiary may earn and still get social security benefit payments. Under a new provision, a person's social security benefit will not be withheld for any month in which he neither worked in his own business nor earned over $100.00 in wages. Social S e c u r i t y officials emphasized that people already receiving monthly nav ments do not need to apply for the automatic increase. It will be added to the January checks which will be delivered earlv in February. Inquiries about the automatic increase will slow down the efforts to start payments promptly to the people who can now ^et payments for the first time, the officials pointed out.
