Many Now Losing
Monthly Benefits
Of Social Security
There are persons in this area
who are losing money every day,
according to the Salisbury office
of the Social Security Administration,
because they have not
made application for Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance (payments.
Many local residents eligible
to receive Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance benefits who have already
made an application for
these payments, failed to receive
all that .they should have because
they did not apply at the earliest
possible time. The way the Social
Security law works, eligible
persons must apply for these payments
or no 'payments are made.
Social Security payments are
made to working people over 65
who have retired from covered
employment and to widows, children,
parents, and other relatives
of working people who have died.
Sometimes the payments are
monthly, and sometime8 a lumpsum
payment is made. But in
every case, the payments must
be applied for before they can
be received.
"We are here to sprve the
people and to Bee that they are
paid," Louis H. Clement, manager
of the Salisbury office said
In an interview today, "but we
can't go to the people*—they must
oome to us." Commenting further,
Mr. Clement said: "Every
working-man over 66 who has
quit working should immediately
get in touch with our office.. And
the family of every working man
who hag died should write or
come in to the office at once."
