The new amendments to ^ the social security law, signls ed by President Kennedy last week, give men early benefit rights similar to those women have had since 1956. The change applies to men e between 62 and 65 years of ? age. and is designed especially to help those who are ^ unable to find employment because of their age or poor v health. 3 A man now 62 to 65 years oi age can start receiving benefits with the month of t] August. But if he retires bejs fore he reaches age 65. the s monthly amount of benefit paid to him is reduced. He will continue to be paid the reduced amount even after c he reaches 65. Dependent widowers and the dependent fathers of workers who have died also can get benefits at age 62. Their benefits, like those of widows and dependent mothers, are not reduced. For men who retire early, the amount by which Lheir benefits will be reduced depends on the number of 4 u. r -i - * -I ?* I iii<miiii>, iui wnicn mey win receive benefits while still under 65. A worker who retires and claims his benefits as soon as he reaches 62 will qualify for 80 percent of the amount that would be id payable to him at age 65 >d based on his average earn^ ings up until his retirement. >h If he waits until he is 63, he ld will get 86 2-3 percent of his full benefit; and if he waits THE CLOTHMAKER until 64, the amount will be 93 1-3 percent. The reductions are figured so that a person may expect to receive, on the average, about the same amount if he takes reduced benefits beginning before he is 65, or waits until 65. Members of the immediate family of a retired worker can get dependents' benefits if the worker retires at 62 or if he waits. Eligible dependents include a wife 62 or older, or a wife at any age if she has in her care children who are eligible for benefits. The child of a retired worker is eligible if he is under age 18, or if he has been totally disabled since childhood. The Committee on Finance of the Senate, in recommending this change in the law, said "The provision of benefits at age 62 for men will help to alleviate the hardships faced bv that group of men who, because of ill health, automation, or other technological change. are forced into premature retirement before age 65."
