FACTS PERTAINING SOCIAL SECURITY Here is what happened to old- age and survivors insurance in the Greenwood area August 28 when President signed the 1950 amendments to the Social Secur ity Act. All monthly insurance checks now being paid to the 2,493 soc ial security beneficiaries in the seven counties administered by the Greenwood Field Office will be rasied substantially, beginning with the September checks, ac cording to Martha Pressly, Mana ger of the local office. Miss Pressly explained that these auto matic increases, for September, are scheduled to reach local ben eficiaries during the first week of October. Increases will range from about 50 percent to about 100 percent. For example, the average primary benefit of ap proximately $26 per month for a retired worker will be increased to about $46. A wndow with tw T o children who had been receiving $55 a month will now receive about $110 altogether. Miss Pressly said that under the old terms of the social secur ity law the 2,493 beneficiaries in this area would have receiv ed about $36,924 . (total) for the month of September. Under the new increases, however, total payments for September are es timated to be about $69,773., or an immediate increase of some $32,849. monthly in insurance benefits to this area. Under the new law the amount of earnings which a beneficiary may make in a month, and still accept his Insurance payment for that month, is raised from $14.99 to $50. This applies to beneficiaries under age 75, and for earnings in a job covered by social security. After at taining age 75, a beneficiary may have any amount of earnings and still accept his insurance checks. Approximately 9,700,000 more people may have old-age and sur vivors insurance under the re vised law. For most of the new? groups, coverage will be manda tory after January l, 1951. How ever,. employees of nonprofit charitable, religious and educa tional institutions will come under socal securty only If the employer chooses and f two-thrds of the employees express a wish to participate. Employees of State and local governments may have social security coverage on an optional basis but the State government must take initiative if it choose to participate. An estimated 2,050,000 workers are in the tw r o groups subect to optional participation in the pro gram. A new type of payment is mothers’ insurance benefits. These are monthly payments to a mother who has in her care a child entitled to monthly insur ance benefits. Separation or di vorce from the wage earner does not prevent the mother’s receipt of monthly benefits, provided the wage earner was furnished the greater part of her support. This changes the former law yhich did not permit payment to wives who were divorced, and did not permit payment to the wife of a retired wage earner until she reached age 65. If she has chil dren under 18, she may now re ceive benefits when her husband retires, even if she is under 65. Included in the social security program for the first time, and unde'* special conditions, are household workers regularly em ployed in private homes. House- nold workers, including maids, cooks, laundresses, practical nurses, gardeners, chauffeurs, etc., will receive credit only for their cash wages and will not be covered by the law at all unless they are employed 24 days or more and their cash wages are at least $50 in a calendar quarter. Regular farm workers includ ing household workers in farm homes, will be covered by social security beginning in January. To be affected, the worker must be employed by one farm opera tor for a period of not less than five months and those months must fall within two calendar quarters. After full three months employment in the first quarter, the employee must work for the same employer in the second quarter not less than 60 days with cash wages of at least $50 for work in that quarter. This bars occasional or seasonal farm workers and itinerant harvesters from coverage under the new social security law. SCHOOL REPORT MADE PUBLIC The Committee appointed to look into school reorganiza tions plans for the county has made its report. It will appear here next week to gether with some comment not altogether in sympathy with some of its provisions.. The plans is to be voted up on in November and it should have wide publicity.
