The Federal Social Security plan of old-age and survivors in surance is now in the fourth year of its operation. Since January 1, 1937, employed persons in all [lines of industrial, commercial, or professional employment have naid a tax of one per cent of their wages or salaries to the Federal Government under this law. The employer has contributed an equal amount. Monthly insurance payments are now being made to workers who have attained age 65 who choose to retire from active em- nlovment and who have had suf ficient employment and earnings under the law to entitle them to those benefits. Monthly pay ments are also being made to the widow and children of many workers who have died during 1940. The Social Security plan is an insurance system. It is not re lief or charity. Payments are made regardless of other sources of income which the eligible in dividual or family may have. In ether words, the need of the in dividual or family is not taken into consideration. But what of Bill Jones, a book- keeoer, a machinist or a retail clerk, who will have 65 candles his birthday cake next week? What are his rights? If Bill is ready to retire, he will receive his old-age insurance pay ments providing he has been em ployed in at least seven calendar quarters since January 1, 1937, w'hen the law went into effect, and if he has earned ai; least $50 in each of those seven quarters. These seven quarters apply in the case of any worker attaining 65 after July 1, 1940. Eight quar ters of employment will be re quired of those attaining 65 in Refrigerators Buy a Westinghouse Refrigerator from us for $5.00 down and balance on small monthly pay ments. • J. S. STROM PHONE NO. 76 of three calendar months. Jan uary, February, and March mal^e up the first quarter of the year; April, May and June, the second quarter, and so on through the year. It is not necessary that you work the entire quarter to get credit for a “quarter of coverage” under the law. If you should work only one week in a quarter and earn the required $50, you will meet the minimum require ment for a quarter of coverage. If you are 65 and decide to con tinue working, you can apply for your monthly payment at any later time. Your payment will be higher if your employment in the past three years has been irregu lar and if you are now steadily employed at a wage or salary equal to that which you usually expect to earn. Your monthly payments upon retirement will be based on your average monthly wage” at em ployments covered by this law be tween January 1, 1937, and up to the quarter in which you apply and qualify for monthly retire ment payments. If you have a wife who is also 65, she will receive a monthly check equal to one-half of your own payment. If she is less than 65, she will receive her check when she attains that age and makes application. Payments to the aged wife are a new feature of the law. Monthly payments to the re tiring worker begin with the month in which he becomes en titled and continue to time of death. If the retired worker should die leaving a widow who is more than 65, she will then start to receive three-fourths of his payment, rather than one-half, and will draw this amount to the time of her death if she does not remarry. If he leaves a widow less than 65, but with children under age 18. the widow will be gin to receive three-fourths of her deceased husband’s monthly payment on attaining age 65. A worker who retires will not receive his monthly payment for any month in which he works at a job covered by the law and earns $15 or more from such em ployment. This provision does not apply to any earnings or any in come derived from employment or other activities which are not covered by the law. The retired person may engage in business for himself as a self- employed person, he may own a farm and work on it, or he may from a private insurance or pri vate retirement plan will not bo taken into consideration. If you believe you are now eli gible to retire and receive the Federal insurance payments hero described, or if you expect to rc - tire within the next few months, you can obtain further informa tion by writing to the Social Se curity Board, 502 Hodges Bldj., Greenwood, S.
