Office) Several times in this series, I have mentioned the increased benefits for those retiring in the future. Today I’d like to explain just how the new law makes this possible. There are three reasons why future social security pay ments will be larger. A little sim ple arithmetic, which we will get into later, will show this easily. The first change in the law in creases the total amount of earn- Receipt Books Tickets i ■ - / For All Your Printing Needs Call THE SUN Prompt Service Call us for your dry cleaning needs.

Keeton, Edmonds, Washington: Now 86, I remember settling on a homestead in 1878, south of then Spokane Falls, now Spokane. Father would drive 42 miles to Colfax in Whitman County for sup plies which took three days . . . (the supplies usually) consisting of tour or five barrels of flour; one-half barrel of dark brown sug ar; 10 pounds of Arbuckle coffee (at 15 cents per pound); salt, and blocks of Chinese matches and tor desert and pies a box of dried apples. We had no luxuries. £o different as to now with super markets all around us, but such was the life of the pioneers in the West. ' WHO’LL EAT WHOM? . . .

Before the 1954 amendment the top earnings which could be counted for social security was $3,- 600. Beginning Jan. 1, 1955, year ly wages or seif-employment net income (or the total of both) up to $4,200 will be counted. Right there is the groundwork fpr larger bene fits. j The formula for arriving at the, benefit amount has been revised also. And that is the second reas on tor the increase in future bene fit amounts. Here is the way the new benefit formula works: First add the wages, covered by social security, which yon hare received in all of the months be ginning Jan. 1, 1955. Now under the new law you may be able to exclude up to four or five of your low or no earning years. I ex plained how this exclusion of “drop-out” of low or no earning years worked in my last article. Now that you have added your wages and dropped up to four or five of the low or no earning years, count the number of remaining months which have elapsed since January 1, 1951, until the time you are 65. (The number of these months must be at least 18. If it isn’t, use 18.) Then divide the total of 1 your wages, with the low or no income years dropped, by the number of months. The re sult \ of this division will be your average monthly wage. You are ready to apply the for mula. Take 55 per cent of the first $110 of your average monthly wage and add' it to 20 per cent of the next $240. The result of this addi tion is your monthly benefit amount or the retirement insur ance amount. That's what you get every month when yon retire at age 65 or later. In most caees, this amount will be higher than it would have been under the old law. As under the old law, how* ever; the miximum benefits for your family in case of your death will be 80 per cent of your primary insurance amount. There is another way that the average monthly wage upon which the amount of your frmmrviaf M protected. This may be done by means of a pro vision in\the new laY which Is known as the disability “frees©”. The “freese” was written into the law to protect the average monthly wage and the insured status of in dividuals who suffer a serious and prolonged physical or mental dis ability which keeps them from any gainful work. The “freese” may be used to the advantage of those disabled persons who will retire in the future as well as those who retired. My next ar- will be devoted to telling yon about the disability “freese”.
