port forms, and instructions Or she may. if she wishes, ask the nearest social security office for a pamphlet entitled "Do You Have a Maid?" This pamphlet contain* a printed request to the District Director for the necessary material. 5. Q—l have heard that only my wages after 1950 will determine the amount of my social security benefit 1* thi* true, or will my earnings before 1951 also be considered in figuring my benefit’

A—Ail earnings after 1936 on which social security was paid are considered. If this gives you the highest average earnings, your payments will be based on all of your earnings. However, since earnings have generally been higher since 1956 it is advantageous for most workers to base their payments on the average earnings after 1950. 6. Q— I have been employed for 10 years and I am fully insured. If I quit work 10 years before I reach retirement age, will my social security payments be affected? A—Yes. because we can only drop out 5 years of low or no earnings and the remaining years of no earnings would lower your average earnings and cause your social security payments to be smaller. 7. Q —J am dependent on my son for all my support. He has a wile and two children, aged 1 and 3. If h© should die, bow much social i-ecurtky-ewrid I receive? A— You could receive whatever social security payments are payable based on your son’s earnings record. The law provides that payments to dependent parents are payable even if an eligible spouse or child survived the wage earner.
