These are Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Old-Age Assistance. Each of these plans serves a special purpose. They differ from each other in the way they operate and in the way they provide protection. Old-Age and Survivors Ingur-* ance is for wage earners. This insurance helps workers to provide an income for themselves and their families when death or old age cuts off wages. It is a Federal plan and its provisions are the same in all parts of the country. Old Age Assistance is for people after they are old and in want. Through it, eagh State, with Federal help, provides for its own needy aged. Though these plans work differently,' they are alike in one important point — both provide a cash income. This income is modest, but it enables old people to live in their own homes. The Social Security Administration is the Federal Agency in charge of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system. For each insured porker, the Administration keeps a separate wage record, identified by his name and Social Security Account Number. This record is necessary to determine what benefits may be due a worker or his family. To pay for this insurance, the Social S'ecurity Act levies a tax on wage earners and their employers. To learn more about this plan, you should write to the Social Security Office in Salisbury, N. C. All the States provide Old-Age Assistance for their own needy old people. The State — not the Federal Government — decides who shall get aid and how much shall be paid to each person. The Federal Government shares the. cost as long as the State plan follows the general pattern outlined in the Social Security Act. Anyone wishing .to inquire about Old-Age Assistance, should go to the nearest local public welfare office or write the State Public, Welfare Office in Raleigh, N. C.
