V Social Security Benefits In Laurens County at Rate Of $1,580,000 Annually As of February. 1958. old age, sur vivors and disability insurance monthly benefits were being paid in the seven counties served by the Greenwood District office at the rate of $6,803,208.00 a year, to 11,- 692 individuals, according to Miss Martha F. Pressly, manager of the . Greenwood social security office. • “This is an increase of about 30% over last year,” Miss Presslysaid. Miss Pressly stressed that while the benefits are intended primarily for the beneficiary’s economic se curity, the payment of social se curity benefits at the rate of $1,580,- 088 a year in Laurens County helps business in the community general-! ly because most of the money is; spent immediately on food, clothing and other necessities. “In Febru ary social security benefits were being paid nationally at the rate of nearly 10 billion dollars annually.” "Payments to a retired worker with no dependents receiving ben efits averaged $67.50 a month na- 4 tionally in February, and to a re tired couple $119.40 a month,” Miss Pressly said. The average for a widow with two young children was $165. The maximum payment for a family is $254. “There are several reasons for the increase in beneficiaries over last year,” Miss Pressly said. TTie Inog term growth of the aged pop ulation and of the proportion of the aged population eligible for ben efits are important factors in the continuing increase in the number of beneficiaries. Other reasons for the increase of beneficiaries are found in the provisions of the 1958 amendments to the Social Security Act which now make it possible for the wife, the dependent husband, 9 and children of a disabled worker beneficiary to receive monthly pay ments. These amendments also pro vide for benefits to aged depend ent parents of a deceased worker even though other survivors are en titled to payments. Moreover, Miss Pressly pointed out, it is now easier for a disabled worker to qualify for bnefit pay ments. He no longer needs social se curity credit for m years of work in the last 3 years before he be came- disabled. If he worked under social security for at least 5 years out of the 10 before he became dis abled he may be eligible for dis ability benefits. "Increases in average benefit payments reflect the 7% raise in benefit amounts which became ef- I fective with the checks for anu- ary, 1950,” Miss Pressly said. Av erage disability benefit payments also reflect the elimination of the so-called “offset” provision In the old law Disability benefits under social security are now payable in full even though benefits are also Winthrop Paper To Honor Delle Wilder, Clinton Miss Hi Miss payable under state workmen's compensation or under some other Federal Government program.
