SOCIAL SECURITY FIG
URES FOR FRANK
LIN COUNTY
Franklin County residents and
communities have benefitted about
$181,6(0.00 through operation of
U ie Social Security program, it is
estimated by Charles Q. Powell,
Chairmun of the North Carolina
Unemployment Compensat i o n
Commission.
Unemployment Compensation,
or benefits to workers temporar
ily out of Jobs, is usually the lar
gest item in the ten divisions of
the program, in counties with
fairly large industries. In the two
years of benefit payments, 1938
and 1939, &he distribution was
$22,123.22, included in 3,300
checks to county residents.
Through cooperation of Mr.
Nathan H. Yelton, State Director
of Public Assistance, and Dr.
Roma S. Cheek, executive secre
tary of the State Commission for
the Blind, and with figures from
Washington and in the Central
, UCC office in Raleigh, it is possi
ble to get a fairly accurate picture
of the benefits distributed in
Franklin County.
Old Age Assistance, help for the
needy passed 65 years of age, in
Franklin County in 31 months of
distribution amounted to $59,
743.00 The January amount
was $2,634.00, going to 307 needy
aged persons, an average of $8.25
each, as compared with the State
average of $9.72 for tihe month.
Aid to Dependent Children, help
in the support of children depriv
ed of their natural breadwinners, |
o amounted to $20,177.00 in the
same 31 months. The January
amount was $772, going to the
support of 161 such children, an!
average of $4.80 each, as compar- j
ed with the Stat? average of ,
$6.18 for the month.
Aid to the Blind in Franklin ,
County was $4,014.60 for the
same 31 months. In January'
$147.00 went to 12 blind persons, !
average $12.25 each; State aver-'
age, $14.90.
in uia Age Assistance ana Aid
to the Blind, t<he funds are pro- 1
vided one-half by the Federal
Government and one-fourth each
by the State and County. In Aid
to Dependent Children funds
have been furnished one-third
each by Federal. State and Coun
ty Governments. Now the Federal
Government) will furnish one-half,
as in cases of the needy aged and
the blind.
Old Age Benefits, now Old Age
and Survivors' Insurance, is not
available by counties, but a pro
ration can be made to get a coun
ty estimate. This has been small
lumpsum payments to workers in
covered employment since Janu
ary 1, 1937, and who have since
reached 66 year* of age and quit
work, or to Mie families of such
workers who have died since that
date. The importance of this part
of the program will be more ap
parent now, since payments have
started on a monthly basis, as pro
vided in an amendment by Con
gress in August, 1939.
With an estimate in this one
small item, of $2,715.00 going to
75 workers or their families
through October, and practically
accurate figures in the other four
divisions, it is apparent that just
about $108,775 has been distrib
uted in Franklin County in these
five major divisions. In the other
five divisions, classed as "servic
es," a proration indicates that
about $23,785 has been distribu
ted in this county since the pro
gram started, divided approxi
mately as follows: Maternal and
Child Health services, $4,250.00#
Services for Crippled Children.
$3,575.00; Child Welfare ser
vices, $2,775.00; Vocational Re
habilitation, $1,835.00; and Pub
lic Health work, $11,350.00.
Several factors enter into this
proration. Mr. Powell explained.
Franklin County had a population
of 29,456. or about 0.93 per cent
of the population of the entire
State, 1930 census. This part of
the Social Security program has
been in operation about rtour
years, and the State has matched
Federal funds in almost every in^
stance. These facts are consider
ed in making the proration.
Central UCC office records
show t-hat in 1939 Franklin Coun
ty had 17 resident employers sub
ject to the law and 625 workers
protected by it. Subject employ
ers paid into the State fund $22,
123.22 in the years of 1937. 1938
and 1939, as compared with the
$22,123.22 paid to unemployed
workers in Mie county in the two
years of 1938 and 1939.
The records show that in 1938
and 1939 Franklin unemployed
workers filed 1.095 initial claims
? the first claims filed after the
worker becomes unemployed ?
