FRIDAY, JANUARY ,11, 1952
SIGNIFICANCE OF
(continued from page one)
work are now covered by the
social security law.
Beginning in January 1951, most
self-employed people, including the
young man we have mentioned, be
gan building towards old-age and
survivors insurance protection. At
the same time, social security was
extended to regular employees in
private households, regular em
ployees on farms and others em
ployed in agricultural work, to
employees of nonprofit organiza
tions (subject to certain condi
tions,) to State and local govern
ment employees (subject to State
option), and to Federal employees
not already under a retirement
system. In brief, the old-age and
survivors insurance program under
Federal social security now affects
three out of every fouqp workers
in the Nation. Sixty-three million
persons gainfully employed or self-
employed are in work covered by
the law.
Obviously, 15 years of operation
has not been a sufficient length
of time to bring old-age insurance
protection to even a majority of
people past 65. |Many now living
had their earnings stopped be*
cause of age in the early years of
the program; many others were
engaged in occupations not cover
ed by social security before the
1960 amendments to the law.
These recent amendments to the
act, however, included a provision
that has enabled workers who
previously were barred from par
ticipation in, the program to
acquire an insured status. Any
person who has been in work
covered by the law for a length
of time equal to the time after
1950 and up to the time of retire
ment at age 65 or later is eligible
for old-age benefit payments.
Many who had that amount of
covered work before the amend
ment became a law (or the mini
mum requirement of 1 % « years
of work) became immediately eligi
ble for benefit payments. At the
close of the fifteenth year of the
program, 4,400,000 people were re
ceiving monthly od-age and sur
vivors insurance payments. As
those who are now approaching
65 stop work at that age or later,
the same provision in the new
law will be responsible for a step
ped-up increase in old-age bene
ficiaries.
We have dealt with the insured;
what about the insurance? How
much in benefit payments does
this mean to the average worker
and his family? Well, for the
worker who after 1950 earns $250
a month, his personal monthly
benefit payment will be $72; he
and his wife will get a total of
$108 monthly, and in case of his
death, his widow will get $54.40.
The scale of benefit payments
ranged from a minimum of $20
monthly to an individual to a
maximum family benefit payment
of $150. As earnings up to $3,-
600 a year are now credited to a
worker’s social security account,
the average benefit payment will
steadily increase in the years im
mediately ahead.
It is not difficult to evaluate the
effort of this social insurance pro
gram on the average community
and the average family. As in
the case of the young man men
tioned at the beginning of this
article, it is making it possible to
hold many homes together; as
illustrated by his case also, it is
enabling one generation to acquire
the means to build the same pro
tection for the next generation.
This, as old-age and survivors in
surance enters its sixteenth year
of continuous operation, is the
most significant achievement of
the program.
