Your Social Security $204,050,000 in social secur ity benefits was paid to resi dents of South Carolina last year, up 7.1 percent from the year before. In February this year the yearly benefit amount increased to about $230,576,- 000, up 23.5 percent over last year. This February, 4768 men women and children in New berry county were receiving benefits at a monthly rate of $330,397, Mr. Carlisle Bagwell, Social Security District Mana ger in Greenwood, reported to day. 3429 were older people, he said, receiving benefits as retired workers, the wives and dependent husbands of retired workers, and as the surviving widows or aged dependent par ents of workers who have died. “But social security is not just for older people,” Mr. Bagwell pointed ont. 897 young widows and children in New berry county were receiving benefits amounting to $42,349 effective this February. 602 disabled workers and depend ents were receiving benefits at a monthly rate of $45,883. “Practically every young fam ily in Newberry county has survivor’s protection under soc ial security that can be worth $75,000 or more and equally valuable disability protection,” Mr. Bagwell said. These bene fit amounts do not include the lump-sum death payments to help with the burial expenses of deceased workers. Nor do they include the many benefits that are paid under the social security Medicare program. The average worker, accord ing to Mr. Bagwell, can expect to collect more than the value of his social security tax con tributions just in the benefits payable to him and his wife in retirement. If he does not live to retirement, his family stands to collect far more than the contributions he has paid; and the same will be true if he should become totally disabled for work before 65. Monthly payments to the family of a worker who dies, leaving 2 or more children, can range from $82.50 to $434.40 a month, depending on the work er’s average earnings under social security.
