Helpful Facts On
• Old-Age Insurance
(By Martha Pressly, Manager,
Greenwood, S. C., Field Office,
Social Security Board)
Q. A housewife works for 3
months each summer at $75 a
month as a cook in a hotel. Will
her wages entitle her to Old-Age
Insurance benefits?
A. The wages she receives after
December 31, 1936, and before she
reaches the age of 65 will be
counted as wages for the purpose
of determining Old-Age benefits.
In one year her wages would be
$225. In addition, if she receives
her board and lodging at the
hotel, the cash value of her board
and room will be considered as c
part of her wages.
Q. A boy who goes to high school
works Saturdays and Sundays in
a drug store. He plans to continue
this work to help pay his wa^
through college. Will his wage. c
be counted in the computation o'
benefits?
A. Yes. All work in employmen’
not excluded from operation oi
the Social Security Act count'
toward Old-Age Insurance bene
fits. His earnings in employment
after he finishes school will be
oosted in the same account set
up for him when he first got his
Social Security card.
Q. I notice that the lump-sum
payments being made under the
Old-Age Insurance provisions of
the Act are very small. Why is
this and when will these amounts
increase?
A. These payments are based on
3 1-2 per cent of the wages earned
from January 1, 1937, until the
ige of 65 has been reached. The
average claim will increase in
lirect proportion to every dollar
earned. The Act has been in ef
fect 19 months. In another 19
months, the average claim will be
approximately twice what the
average claim is today.
Q. If a girl works in a store at
$65 a month for 10 years begin
ning in 1937, and then marries
and no longer works in an in
cluded employment, will she be
entitled to monthly retirement
benefits at age 65?
A. Yes. If such wages are $65 a
month for 10 years in a store, her
total wages will be $7,800, which

benefits of $19 a month when she
reaches age 65.
Q. How long does it take to
determine a claimant’s right to
old-age insurance benefits?
A. The time required by the
Bureau of Old-Age Insurance for
cold and snow by going to warmer
regions, but also of the more
hardy souls who choose to spend
their vacations iceskating, ^kiing
and tobeganning in winter resort
areas. This is a big season for
