Thursday, February 11, 1982 7 | The Social Security News ItE ByLeeWallio Field Representative Student Benefits Reduced As a result of legislation enacted in mid 1981, Social Security student benefits will be phased out for those attending post-secondary schools. When student benefits were first provided in 1965, the rationale was that young g- People, 18-22 years of age, £ who were full-time students were as much dependent on their parents for their support as were children under 18 years of age or disabled. It was assumed at the time that students lost a g source of- support when a B parent retired, became £ disabled, or died. 5 However, the benefits J were not related to any j educational expenses in i curred, to school per ! formance, or to financial * need. * The situation today is v different from what it was 15 I years ago. J Since that time, a number jof programs have been • established to provide *« assistance to college |! students based on thdir own and their families’ financial jj condition. r Among the federally educational programs now available are £the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants, Sup ;.f— 1 Dean’s List V JE S CHAPEL HILL The A following students from * Chowan County have been i named to the 1981 fall ’£ semester dean’s list at the *j University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: 3 Heather Elizabeth Bock, 5 Christopher Ramon Har j mon, Debbie Lynne Jordan, Elizabeth Stevens, Susan Inglis Whiteside, and .

The remainder attend technical, graduate, and business or secretarial schools. The new law defines an educational institution as an elementary or secondary school. Benefits will not be paid to students who begin attend ing a post-secondary school after April 1982. Benefits to students who were entitled as of August 1981 and were attending a post-seconary school before May 1982 will be phased out in order to minimize the financial impact on those ’ whose plans for pursuing their education were based on receipt of Social Security benefits.
