Tell Your Family About
Survivors Insurance
Those of us who work for the
Social Security Administration
often get a first hand glimpse in- 1
to the personal affairs of the per-j
sons we serve. One of our du-
ties concern the taking of sur- j
vivor claims from widows, wid
owers, children, and aged depend- ’
ent parents, of deceased insured
workers. To us falls the task of
explaining what benefits are due
either in regular monthly
amounts or as a one time lump-.
sum. Sometimes we discover that
there is little explaining to do—i
that the other person is well post-1
ed and fully informed on what
type of benefit to expect and the
amount to be received. But all
too often we are confronted with
persons who have no idea what 1
is payable or to whom it will go.
They have a vague sort of notion
that someone collect some- j
thing on the deceased's social se
curity account.
We see the ditierenee striking- (
ly illustrated between the person
who has kept his personal finan-j
cial affairs in good order and the |
person who has made no plans or j
preparations for the future needs
of himself or his family. Too
many persons keep putting off
this most important matter of in
forming themselves and their
family on what will happen in
case of their death.
We find that sometimes after
a death no record can be found
of the deceased’s social security
number and much time is lost and
effort expended in locating a lost (
number. The social security ac-!
count number is the key to a ’
person’s social security record,,
and the first step in putting one’s]
financial house in order is to put
that number in a safe place where
it is always available and to tell
the other members of the family
where that is. A safety deposit
box is a good place as is any place
that one would ordinarily store
valuable papers for safekeeping.
It is wise to keep the number on |
record in several places. When j
several members of the family,
have numbers, it is a pood idea
to maintain a centra] record list-1
ine the numbers of all individual I
members then, should one mem- ■
her of the farrulv die, all ethers
in the family will have access to
the rppord

. cannot be over-emphasized, is to
j tell your family about survivors
benefits. This does not have to
be a formal matter like signing
1 and witnessing a will, but it is
| just as important a part of plan-
ning one’s estate,
j The Social ' Security Admini
, stration has a number of infor
! mational booklets on such sub
jects as “How to Estimate Your
Social Security Payments.” These
booklets are free for the asking,
and a fine way to tell your fami
: ly about social security is to ob
tain one of the booklets and reap
'it through together, discussing
| any points that might have spe
cial application to members of
your family.
Finally, should you have any
doubt or uncertainty as to’ your
status under social security, get
in touch with the social security
. office serving the community in
I which you live. We encourage
family members to come in to
gether and talk over any ques- {
tions they have about our pro-!

any way possible.
