In hundreds of communities specific programs have been organized to deal with one or more of its aspects. On the Federal level, under recent changes in the social security p r o g r a m, severely disabled people, who because of their condition, are unable to continue in substantial gainful work, can protect their future benefit rights, and those disabled workers who are 50 or over may receive monthly payments for themselves and their dependents. In addition, disabled children of retired insured workers and of insured workers who have died can apply for social security benefits, even if they are 18 years of age or older, if they have been disabled since before their 18th birthdays. What are the facts? Disability Payments at Age 50 If you are between 50 and 85 years of age, have worked under social security for the required time, and are disabled to the degree required, you and your dependents may be eligible for monthly disability payments after you rrviwr yvi#r ncy 1 Don 't wim under 9 diving board I 12!

If you have been disabled for six months or more and have not vet applied for these benefits, get in touch with your social security office and make application as soon as possible. The amount of your monthly disability payment will depend on your average monthly earnings as shown in your social security record. It will be the same as the amount of the old-age insurance benefits you and your dependents would get if you were already 65, with a minimum payment 10 you 01 ijj.iii and a maximum of $116.00. If You are Disabled Before Age 50 Disabled workers under age 50 may have their social security records frozen to protect them and their dependents' right to future benefits. This is necessary because in cases of prolonged disability, loss of earning power causes a gap in the social security record which would cause future benefits to be greatly reduced or lost entirely. A worker who becomes disabled for work at any time up to six months before age 65 should apply to have his social security record frozen so that the years he is unable to work because of his disability Stay out of water when overheated and after eating S" Oon't dive in strange places 1*1' A - rO j p?? ?

Disabled Child's Benefits Disabled children of retired workers and of insured workers who have died can apply for social security benefits, even if they are 18 years of age or older, if they have been disabled since before their 18th birthday. Requirements In addition to being disabled within the meaning of the law you must have worked under social security for some time in order to be eli gible for disability insurance payments or to have your social security record frozen. You must have social security credit for work in 5 out of the ten years before you became disabled. Vocational Rehabilitation A major objective of the disability benefit provision is to promote the restoration of handicapped individuals to gainful work. When you apply under any one of the three disability provisions in the social security law. your name will be referred to your State vocational rehabilitation agency along with any information in your file which will help them to decide whether you can benefit from rehabilitation services, and. if so, what kind of services. will be most useful to you. Your Social Security Office To apply for disability ben cfits or to have your social security record frozen, get in touch with your social security district office. If you are unable to visit the social security office, you may telephone or write or someone else may make the call for you. If necessary, arrangements may be made to have a representative call on you. New sh'mi alone CL c? NffiT 'y-Pry off after bathing JIT considerate of others ruritu
