Social Security
Changes Explained
The Asheville Social Security
office this week released more de
tailed information relating to the
recent changes in the Social Se
curity Act resulting from the
August, 1958, amendments.
D. H. Butler, of the Asheville
office, field representative for Ma
con County, said that, directly or
indirectly, the changes woulB af
fect almost every person in the
county.
Among the changes:
<1) An increase In benefit
checks for those beneficiaries now
on the rolls and for those who
become entitled to benefits in the
future. In general, the increase
will be abotit seven per cent. The
Increase In benefits will be effec
tive with the check due in Feb
ruary 1959, and will be automatic.
It will not be necessary for any
person to make application for
the increase.
(2) A reduction in the work re
lulrement for those applying for
Usability freeze and disability
benefit purposes. The law former
y required that in order for a
worker to qualify for a freeze of
lis earnings record because of a
Usability, or for disability lnsur
ince benefits at age 50 or later,
he worker must have had social
ecurity-covered earnings in at
east five years out of the 10 years
mmed lately before the onset of
he disability. Also, one and a hall
if these five years must have been
luring the three years lmmediate
y preceding the onset of the dis
unity. This latter requirement
tas been removed from the law.
["he disability severity requlre
nent has not been changed.
(3) PflvmpnU run nnw hp m a Ho
o certain dependents of disabled
eneficiaries. Effective with Sep
ember 1958, benefit payments
lay be made to a wife at age 62.
n unmarried child under age 18,
disabled unmarried child over
8 If the disability began before
ge 18, and to a wife under age
2 if she has an entitled child
a her care.
(4) Removal of the dual bene
it restriction in connection with
Usability benefits. Under prior
iw, a person who was entitled
d receive a disability benefit
rom the Social Security Admin
stratlon and who was also eligi
ile to receive some other federal
gency's disability benefit (except
. service-connected disability from
he Veterans Administration! or
iorkmen'1 -compensation pay
nents, could receive only a partial
ayment ? or no payment at all in
ome cases ? from the Social Se
urlty Administration. Effective
Lugust 1958, such persons will re
eive the full amount of their
oclal security disability checks,
egardless of their entitlement to
ther disability benefits. .
Other changes in the law in
lude increases in the social se
urity tax rate: an Increase in
he amount of wages which are
axable; provisions for paying de
endent parents of a deceased
rorker, even if a widow, widower,
r a dependent child also sur
lveci; and lower dependency re
unei.unts for disabled children.
. ?? . .t'er stressed that the ln
re .. benefits provision is the
. 1 i...ly automatic provision,
?ersens who feel that they 'can
uahfy under the other new pro
isiori-i 1 should contact Mi. Butlei
