June 30 Important Date For Disabled Disability Pay For Workers Under 65 June 30 is an important date for disabled people, Christian H. W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, said today. This date is important to two groups of disabled workers, Luecke said. Workers between 50 and 65 years of age,«who have worked long enough in employment covered by Social Security, and who have been disabled for at least six months, can start receiving monthly disability benefit payments beginning with July, 1957. The amount of payment is the same as if they had reached 65 years of age, Luecke said. Those disabled workers who are not yet 50 years of age can file application to have their wage record frozen so that the period of disability will not cause their future benefits to be reduced. They can start receiving payments when they reach 50 years of age if theif- wage record has been frozen. Disability insurance benefits ap- ■ ply only to those workers who are : under 65, Luecke warned. The pur-1 pose of the change in the law is | simply to provide benefits that were not payable previously to those workers who are unable to work because of a disability and | who are not old enough to receive 1 old-age insurance payments. For those workers who receive disability insurance payments and who later reach 65 years of age, their disability benefits will stop and their old-age benefits will begin in exactly the same amount as before, Luecke said. It is for that reason that disabled persons past 65 who have worked long enough to qualify can receive the same amount on the basis of age alone without the additional proofs required for disability payments. Disabled workers who have been disabled for at least six months should contact the social security office before June 30, Luecke said. The Fort Wayne social security office is loated at 717 Fulton street.
