[Exp/aj'nsjlAjnenc&nejif ITo SocialjSecurity'Law

Here Is what happened to old-age and survivor* Insurance in the Fort Wayne area whea President Truman signed the I*so amendments to the social security act. All monthly insurance checks now being paid to the 7M7 social security beneficiaries in the eight counties administered by the Fort Wayne office will be raised sub stanjlally. beginning with their September checks, according to Christian II W. Luacfcu, manager of the area office. Luecke explained that these automatic increases, for September, are scheduled to reach local beneficiaries during the first week of October For example, the average primary benefit of approximately *2S per month for a retired worker will be increased to about |4£. A widow with two children who had been receiving *55 a month will now receive about . *11« altogether Manager Luecke said 'hat under the old lerihs of the sociat Tteelte ity law the 73X7 beneficiaries in this area would have received about 115u.262 (total* for the mouth of September! Under the new increases. however, total payments for September are estimated to be about *274,227. or an Immediate increase of some 1123.M5 monthly in 1 Insurance benefits to this area i Under the new law the amount of i earnings which a beneficiary may i make in a month, and still accept ■ his Insurance payment for that month, is raised from *l4 »S to *s<> i This applies to beneficiaries under ' age 75 and for earning* in a job i covered by social security After attaining age 75. a beneficiary may have any amount of earnings and . still accept his insurance checks. Approximately 5.700.000 more , people may have oldage and surI vlvore Insurance under the revised , tow. For most’of the new groups, coverage will be mandatory after ( January R I*sl. However, employes of nonprofit charitable, reilglous. and educations! instHutlons will come 1 under social security only if the employer chooses and if two thirds of the employes express a wish to participate. Employes of 1 stale and local governments may have social security coverage on ' an optional basis but the state ■ 1 government must take the initiative ' if it choose* to participate Lues-ire -estimated that the Fort Wayne area would have approxi- ' mutely the following numbers of ’ newly covered workefs’under social ■ security: 12.1ie self employed non ■ farm workers. 1413 farm workers. 1 171# household worker* in private » homes. These figure* do not inI elude those under the optional'basis (employes of state and local govern- - ment and of non-profit Institu i tions). I Household workers, including > maids, cooks, laundresses, pfactical i nurses, gardners. chauffeurs, etc.. , will receive credit only for their r cash wages. and.wtll not:?be cnyrrrd . by the law at all unless they are , employed 24 days or more and their cash wages are over *SO, In a calendar quarter. Regular farm 1 workers must be employed by one farm operator tor a period of not less than five months and those ! month* must fall within two calendar quarters. After full three months employment In the first quarter, the employe must work for the same employer In the secI ond quarter not less than £o days with cash wage* of at least *SO tor ■ work iu that quarter. This bars oc casional or seasonal farm workers aud itinerant harvesters from coverage under the new social security law. Many aged penion* may now claim benefits even though they I have not been employed long , enough to qualify under the former , requirements. Luecke said that this . would affeet a considerable number , of aged persons tn this area who had once tiled claims for social •ecurity benefits but had not at , that time been able to qualify. The social security office here has been, reviewing records for several weeks to screen as many as pos- | sible of these persons and will send letters notifying them that benefits I may now be payable it the claim is renewed. They should not Inquire about this change In their eligibility unless they have not rel cetved their letter, in. the next three months. Workers now «3 and I over, will also only need roughly a year and a half of employment In work covered by social security—to be insured upotf reaching age 65 and retiring. A sliding scale requires longer employment for those reaching age 65 after 1*53. but in no case artll a person be required to 1 have more than 10 year* ot employ meat under social security in order for beueflt* to be payable Th* new definition of "employe" In the amended law extend* federal Insurance to full-time Ute Insurance salesmen, agent-drivers or eommla•ion driver* or commission driver* engaged In distributing meat or bakery products, vegetables or fruit product*, beverage* (Other than milk*, or laundry or dry elee ring aorvicea. FtolMime traveling or city salesmen (other than house-to-houa* saleamea) are Included Still excepted from social eocar Ity coverage ar* farm operator*, mintstere and member* of rellgtou* order*, and certain *elf employed rr

A new type of payment is mothers' insurance benefits These are monthly payment* to a mother who has in her care a child entitled to monthly insurance benefits and a former wife divorced with such children iu her care provided the. wage earner was turaisbin* the greater part of her support If a wife has children under IS. she may now receive benefits when her husband retires, even if she is under 65. . The amount ot the benefit paid to .dependent parents was raised from half the worker's benefit to threetourths. The monthly benefit for the first child in the ease of a deceased wage earner, was also raised from half to.jhre*fourths of thi worker's benefits The benfits will continue Pte be paid for In the same way by payroll taxes on the workers and employers involved hut since! self employed as well as employed per soft* ate n<*w covered a new way] of collecting part of the taxes was ■ called for. Self-employed person s| will report their annual earning*: and pay their special social secur- ■ ity tax when they make their in i-Mucttt returns at the end of wh year. Present tax rate* will more than pay for the increased benefit* at first, but higher Contributions will be necessary as more people retire, i or die The law provide* that employe and employer will pay lMt%: of pay rolls through 1*53, 2*5 until i the end of I*s#. 2**% until the end; of. 1»«4.
