Notch Baby" Controversy Aired at Y Retired Men's Christmas Dinner
Charles Clegg of the Social
Security District Office was the
speaker for the Annual Christmas
Dinner of the Winston Lake YMCA
Retired Men's Club held last
Wednesday.
In the discussion and in the lit
dance after the speech, it was noted
that an erTor was made in 1972 in an
effort to apply Cost of Living
Adjustments (COLA) to Social
Security Benefits, and because of
high inflation rates at the time,
retires born between 1910 and 1916
received an unintended bonus or
windfall in their monthly Social
Security checks which could soon
equal their pre-retirement pay. Per
sons born between 1917 and 1921
were resentful because they do not
share in this good fortune.
As a result of the reaction to
these conditions, a new formula was
devise in 1977 to correct the error,
and a transitional formula was
devised to be used for five years for
persons born between 1917 and
1921 who were about to retire.
The purpose of the change,
which became known as the
"Notch", was to correct a mistake
made in benefit formula and to pay
to all fair and appropriate benefits.
To "fix" the "Notch" as
requested by some would simply
extend a costly mistake to additional
problem and could jeopardize the
Social Security System and its abil
ity to finance the coming retirement
of the "Baby Boom" generation^
is unlikely that additional changes
will be made in response to the
"Notch." Many of the club members
are "Notch Babies."
Sylvester Hillard presided at the
Dinner. The afternoon was opened
with "O Come All Ye Faithful" by
the Retired Men's Club, followed by
scripture by Morice Davis, prayer
by Harry Campbell, and a song by
the audience. After dinner, James

Clegg, who spoke on the Social
Security System. The speech and
