from the Jilted States Ooterp?;
ment. Most'of these boyvj.aad
girts are the children of vl^pva
who are also receiving njpB^ly
benefits provided by the Social
Security Act for surviTors of In
sured wage earners. Some of the
young recipients are orphans who
are receiving survivors Insurance
payments because their fathers er
mothers who died -this year were
fully Insured under the Social
Security Act. Another group In
cludes children of annuitants (re
tired workers 65 years old or
more who are entitled to olc( age
insurance). '
Mr. Louis H. Clements, Acting
manager of the ^Isbury office
of the Social Security Board, who
released the above statement, ex-
I plained that an Insured worker,
who reaches age 65 and qualifies
for old age insurance payments
may apply for his ^own benefits
and also for monthly paymento
for ’ach of hts children under
age 16 (18 if in school). Addi
tional benefits are paid to his
wife when she reaches age 65.
Regarding the survivors Insur
ance. Mr' Clement said that -when
an insured worker died, leaving a
widow with minor children,
monthly payments of survivors
insurance are made to his widow
and to his children who are under
age 16 (18 if in school). The
widow who has children under
age 18 in her care receives three-
fourths of the amount of her
husband’s primary insurance ben-

In the^countleii of, Aleounder,
Iredell, Rowan, Alleghany, Ashe,
Watauga and Wilkes, which con
stitute the Salisbury area ) and
their North Wilfcesboro Branch
Office area, 110 ipergons are re
ceiving monthly payments of old
age and sarrivors Insurance.
Given below Is a table showing
the number of persons In each of
the groups receiving monthly
payments of old age and surviv
ors Insurance, January 1—July
1, 1940:
Retired Workers, 53; wives of
retired workers, (65 yegrs old or
more), 5; children, 45; widows,
7.,
In addition to monthly benefits
paid to men, women and children
In this area 17 lump-sum death
payments have been made to sur
vivors of Insured workers who
died this year. ''
Mr. Clement exolalned that
where the insured wage earner
dies and leaves no survivors en
titled to monthly benefits, a
himp-sum death payment is made
to the widow or widower or chil
dren or parents of the deceased.
The death payment to a near rel
ative is six times the primary in
surance benefit. Por Instance, in
one case, it was found that the
deceased worker’s primary insur
ance b'enefit woiuld amount to
$41.60 and there was no surviror
entitled to monthly benefits.
.Therefore, a relative who was en-
! titled to the death payment re-
; reived a check for six times
$41.60 or $249.60.
, If no one of the ahove-mentton-
[ed relatives is living, a payment
covering the burial expenses, up
! to an amount of six times the pri-
I mary insurance benefit, will be
made to the person who paid such
expenses.
