Disabled Persons May
Have Social Security
Payments Refigured
Miss Martha F. Pressly, district
manager of the Greenwood Sodal
people who have worked at least
Security office, has some news for
five years under social security
and who, because of a disability,
have not been able to work for six
months or more, according to an
announcement she made yester
day.
“The social security act now
permits us to keep the benefit
rights intact of a person who is
disabled before age 65 and who Is
unable to work because of his dis-
ability,” Miss Pressly explained.
‘To qualify for this so-called ‘dls-
worked under social security for
ability freeze,’ a person must have
at least five years out of the ten
years before he became disabled
and one and one-half years out of
the three years before be became
disabled. The disability must have
existed for more than six months
and a preson must be disabled at
the time he files his application
for the ’disability freeze’.”' ;
"Anyone now receiving a soc
ial security payment on his own
earnings record may have his
benefit refigured to exclude a pe
riod of disability, if he is now dis
abled and the disability was in
existence tor more than 6 months
before he reached age 65,” Miss
Pressly continued. "Of course, he
of five years out of ten years and
miist meet the work requirement
one and a half years out of three
years as set out above.”
