' 'Bow often have you heard a'
woman say, “1 don’t know what
the 'children and I will do,. now
that my husband has died?”
, .This reihark was made by a
Woman whom we shall call Bar
bara Mulford. Her husband,
9am, died leaving her with ..two
young children. Sam had been
a steady worker since their mar
riage, but it had been a struggle
to get along on his salary, what
with payments for the house and
all. It hadn’t left much for in
surance or savings.
Barbara was worried and ap
peared to be at her wits end
when she said this to her friend,
Mrs. Samson, in the supermar
ket. Mrs. Samson assured her
that things will be a little easier
When the social security checks
started to come.
This statement by her friend
puzzled Mrs. Mulford. Social se
curity was a subject that had
never been discussed by Sam
and herself. She knew that
Sam’s boss took the social securi
ty tax from his pay, but she
thought that the only way they
would get anything out of it
would be if Sam reached 65. She i
decided to go to her local social
security office and find out if
she really could get any pay
ments. for herself and her chil
drtrt.-
When,’ she had been interview
ed at : the office, she felt that a
great load had been lifted fromj
her Shpiilders. She found out,
that not only would there be a 1
lump-sum payment of $255 to

help pay some of Sam’s funeral
expenses, but that she would get
$197.10 a month until Sam, Jr.,
now 12 years old, reached 18.
Then for the next 4 years she
and her youngest child, Mildred,
would get $147.80 a month un
til Mildred reached 18. Mrs. Mul
ford realized that here were
funds that would keep her fami
ly together and release her from
a great deal of her money wor
ries.
She began to think and won
der how many other widows in
her position there were who were
unaware of the protection that
social security provides. How
much better it would be if fami
lies would discuss this subject
among themselves.
Although Mrs. Mulford was
fortunate and filed for her so
cial security benefits in time to
avoid the loss of any back pay
ments, she learned that every
family should realize the value
of the family provider’s social
security card and call at their
social security office, as quickly
as possible in case of his death.
Family benefits and the
amount of the lump-sum death
payment will be different in each
case, depending on the earnings
record of each individual family
breadwinner.
There are four times to act
and contact your Social Security
Representative: At Retirement
Age (65 for men, 62 for women),
At Age 72; At Death; and when
you become disabled.
