MAY, 1949 AMCO NEWS Page 11 SOCIAL SECURIl Y IN REVIEM' Parent’s Benefits Parent’s benefits are tlie sixtli and last type of montlily benefits payable under the social security law. They are payable only where the worker, on whose wage record benefits are claimed, is deceased. Furthermore, benefits cannot be paid to a parent if there is a widow or child who can qualify for monthly benefits either at the time of the worker’s death or at some future date. In addition, the parent must meet the following requirements to qualify for benefits: 1. Must be 65 years of age. 2. Must be chiefly dependent upon the worker for support. 3. Must not have remarried after the worker’s death, and -1. Must file a claim. The parent must prove that he was chiefly dependent upon the worker for support during the year preceding the worker’s death. 'Phis proof must be sub mitted within two years after the worker’s death. It is not necessary that the parent be 65 years old at the time the worker dies in order to prove dependency. Ilow'ever. payments cannot begin until the parent reaches age 65. In order for a parent to be chiefly dependent he must have. ecei\ed at least half of his support from the worker during the year preeeding death. Adopting parents and stepparents, if dependents, may also qualify for benefits provided the adoption or step-relationship was created before the w'orker was 16 years of age. Lump-Sum Payments I he lump-sum payment is made only where there is no one, that is, a widow, child or parent who is eligible for monthly- benefits at the time the worker dies. 'Fhc lump-sum is one single payment and was included in the law primarily to help out in paying part of the burial expenses. In connection with deaths occurring at the present time, the lump-sum is payable to the w'idow or widower of the worker prosided they were living together at the time of death. If there is no widow or widower, or if they were not living together, then the lump-sum payment is made to the person who paid the burial expenses. In other words the payment is made as reimbursement to the person who paid the burial expenses only where there is no widow or widower, or the widow or widower was not living with the worker. The lump-sum payment is in addition to any monthly benefits which might be payable to some sirrvivor at a later date. I'he payment cannot be made until a claim is filed and in order to receive pay ment the claim must be filed within two years after the worker’s death. Two Times for Action Every worker and his family should remember that in social security there are “two times for action.” The first time is when the worker reaches age 65, and the second time is when the worker dies. If the worker will call at the social security- office at age 65, and if some relative will call at the office soon after the worker dies, any rights to social security' benefits will be fully protected. The social security- office in this area is located in Room 201, Post Office Building, High Point.

Adams- Millis has been chosen to conduct a fit test to determine what the characteristics should be of a stocking to comfortably- fit the average American woman. ’Phe selec tion of the proper models will be the biggest task. Approximately one hundred girls will be measured in order to get the five necessary models. The plan of the test is to have the same pair of stock ings wom by five different girls called models, each of them to judge if the stocking is tight, satisfactory, or loose in the welt, knee, ankle, instep, foot and toe and if the overall length is short, satis factory- or long. I’hese fi\e models are to \ary- in leg shape size from small to large and the stockings w-orn first bv the small est, then the next largest, etc. Models w-hose size stocking is 9Vi and w-hose leg measurements conform as nearly- as pos sible to the measurements submitted by the American Standards Association, will be selected. .After the tests hare been completed, the reports will be returned to the National Association of Hosiery- Manufacturers.
