ARE NO AGE LIMITATIONS Widows of Workers Covered by Federal Aid Get Their Benefits Before 65 DETAILS ANNOUNCED Widows of workers who were covered by the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program, if they have dependent children, do not have to be 65 years old in order to get monthly benefit payments under the program, J. N. Freeman, manager of the Board's Winston-Salem field of fice, pointed out today. Mr. Freeman said that inquir ies recently made at his field of fice show that a number of young widows of insured workers, who have dependent children under 18, have not filed applications because of a misunderstanding of age requirements. "The'age-65 requirement ap plies to some type of claims, but not to those of widows with de pendent children," Mr. Freeman explained. "Should a worker die, leaving a widow with young, de pendent children, the widow's age is immaterial. She and the children would be eligible for payments if her husband had earned wages of at least SSO in each of six calendar quarters during the 3 years before his death. The amount a widow and her children receive will depend on the worker's average monthly wage," Mr. Freeman stated. "This determines the benefit to which the worker would have been en titled. The widow receives three fourths of the worker's benefit, and each child under 18 is en titled to one-half." There are, of course, limits to what one family may receive; generally the fam ily total for a widow with 3 or more children comes to twice the worker's benefit. Attainment of age 65 is one of the requirements for eligibility in the case of retired workers them selves. If the wife of the retired worker is 65 or more, she too is eligible for a monthly # payment, equal to one-half of "her hus band's old-age insurance benefit. Patronize Tribune Advertisers.
