Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

(Editor’s Note) Do you have any questions about Social Security? We all do, don't we? Send any question you might have to Social Security Quiz, c/o Daily Democrat. You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published regularly.) . Q —My wife, age 54, and I are adopting our granddaughter, age 10. Her parents are deceased and she is not receiving social security because neither of them worked unde: social security. I will be 65 in August and plan to retire. They tell me my payment will be sll6 a month. Will it be possible for my wife and granddaughter to receive benefits too? v A—Yes. Under the 1958 amendments to the law, your wife and I your grandchild will be eligible for payments as soon as the adoption decree is issued by the court. Botht will receive SSB. This will make your family total payments j $232 a month. Before the 1958 • change in the law, a three year ; waiting period was required before payments could be made to an ; adopted child, and to the adopting mother. 2. Q —My husband was a partner in a dental clinic until his death in March, 1959. Can his share of the partnership earnings, S4BOO, in 1959, be used in figuring benefit i payments for my children and myself? A—Yes. Partnership earnings in the year of death can be credited to his account if they were S4OO or more. Prior to the 1958 amendments, these earnings in the year of death could not be counted. This change in the law also permits optional reporting of partnership earnings for 1956, 1957 and 1958. where death occurred after 1955 and before August 28, 1958. 3. Q—l was dependent on my son for most of my support for several years before his death in 1955. However, I could not qualify for social security benefits because he was survived by a widow. I have been told that the 1958 amendments have changed this. Is this true? A—Yes. Dependent parents can now file for benefits even though a widow or children survive. This new rule can be applied to cases where death occurred as long ago as January, 1940. Benefits can be paid for all months beginning with September, 1958, if applications are filed by September, 1959. 4. Q—My wife and I are both receiving monthly social security payments based on my employment. Recently my wife began working and will earn over SI2OO. Will this affect my benefit check? A—No. Your benefit will not be affected unless you go back to work and earn over SI2OO in a year while wou’re under 72. But it will affect your wife's payments.

More Accidents In Home Than On Road By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPD -Statistically, the phrase “in the safety of your own home” should be changed to the “danger of your own home.” National Safety Council records show that four million accidents occur in the home each year; more than anywhere else including the highway, where the accident rate is 1,330,000. Aware of the hazards around the house and of the need for doing something about them, 400 mayors and 40 governors have | proclaimed an “Emergencies (Don’t Wait Week." beginning today. Sponsors of the event are i Johnson and Johnson, whose medical director, Dr. John Hender- ! son, cited these ways to “accident proof” the house. If there are small children: —Build a wall (beaverboard will do the trick) around the home workshop and install a gate that j locks. This will keep curious fingers away from power tools and others. —Anchor screens firmly to the windows with hardware Which children can’t unfasten. —Place protective caps on electric outlets, to prevent youngsters from inserting bits of metal into them, courting electrocution. Build a generous sized toy chest and train the children to use it. keeping toys off stairs or busy passageways. —Enlarge the base of your i child’s high chair so he can't over-turn by rocking it. To prevent falls: —lnstall handrails on all stairways. —Lay rubber pads under scatter rugs. —Pain* the t°p and bottom cellar steps white for easy seeing, j —Put grabrails next to the bathtub. To prevent fire: —Cover the walls and ceiling surrounding the furnace with a i fireproof material. —Hang a fire extinguisher in; the kitchen; grease fires can turn I into serious blazes. —Have plenty of hearth room 1 around the fireplace—at least a |
