Social Security There can be no doubt that Social Security benefits are helping to stabilize the income and spending power of many residents in Laurens County, Miss Martha Pressly, district manager of the Soeial {Security office in Greenwood, said today in releasing annual county bene fit data report. Miss Pressly noted that as of December 31, 1902, some 4,341 persons in Laurens County were collecting about $2,752,140 an nually from social security, an increase of about 10 per cent over 1961. Monthly benefits first became payable in January, 1940, and they have continued without interruption for 23 years, accompanied by a steady growth in the number of bene ficiaries. “This increase can be attributed to the changes in the law in recent years, as well as to the growth of our aged popu lation,” Miss Pressly said. “This money simulates county business; most of it is spent for food, clothing and shelter.” More p e o p 1 e in Laurens County, she said, could draw social security benefits if they knew more about the law, and for that reason they are urged to visit or call the local social security office whenever they have a question concerning their benefits or responsibilities. As of January, 1963, in the na tion at large, more than 18 mil lion beneficiaries were receiving payments at the rate of $14 bil lion per year. The average monthly old-age retirement benefit in January was $78.19 for all states, while in the state of South Carolina the average was $63.68, Miss Pressly said. The following table shows the number and amount of each type of monthly benefit paid in Lau rens County as of December 31,. 1962. Rehired workers, 1803, $1,303,- 176; dependents of retired work ers, 600, $219,916; dependents of deceased workers, 1946, $60,664; disabled workers and dependents, 663, $466,384.
