Your Social Security;
Questions And Answers
Q. I’m only 24 years old and it will be
years before I’m old enough to re
tire. What good is social security to
me?
A. Social security is more than retire
ment. While you work you are earn
ing protection for yourself in the
event you become disabled. In addi
tion, if you are married (now or in
the future) you are earning benefits
for your wife and children if you
should die. Social security is now
paying survivors or disability bene
fits to over 5 million younger people-
Q. How can a disabled young man my
age—26—collect social security bene
fits? Don’t you need years and years
of work covered by social security to
get payments?
A. No. A special provision of the social
security law applies in the case of
a case of a young worker who be
comes disabled before he is 31. He
needs social security credit for only
about half the time between age 21
and his age when he becomes dis
abled. If a man 26 years old becomes
disabled, he would need only about
2Vz years work under social security
to be eligible for cash benefits.
