As Fall makes its return, the spirit of entertaining and visiting in
creases for the home gals. Little wonder, then, that afternoon teas are
high on the list of ways to bring friends together. The reason is simple
. . what to eat at such affairs presents little dr no problem at all. A

(Mgr. Greenwood S. S. 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-

ings that you report for both so
cial .security tax and benefit pur
poses. 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”.
