Social Security Helps Disabled Recent Changes In Regula tions Will Extend Pay- j ments To Persons For merly Ineligible There's good news for disabled, persons under 50, according to j Doris H. Moss, Field Represent-! alive of the Wilmington, N. C.,! Social Security Office. Before last year s amendments to the social security law, a dis abled worker under 50 could have his social security record “frozen,” but he and his family could not be paid monthly benefits until he reached age 50. This is now changed. Any per son under age 65 who meets the definition of 'disability” in the social security law. and who has worked long enough in employ ment covered by social security may be eligible for benefits, re gardless of age. "If you are disabled worker under age 65,” Mrs. Moss urges, "consult your social security office right away to see if you are eligi ble for monthly benefits.” Persons who are so severely disabled that they cannot work and who have no immediate hopes of recovery, and who have worked under social security for at least 5 out of the 10 years just before becoming disabled should apply immediately. Disability insurance benefits for disabled workers under age 50 and their families were first pay able for the month of November, HUFHAM'S MEN S STORE THE HOME OF GLEN-MORE CLOTHES FACTORY TO YOU ! 123 N. Front Street WILMINGTON, N. C. 1960. Disabled people receiving social security benefits can now receive payments for up to twelve months after they return to work. The law works this way. If a person returns to work, even though his condition has not im proved, he must report his work to the Social Security Adminis tration. His checks will not be stopped. After he has worked nine months the Social Security Ad ministration will review the situa tion to see whether the beneficiary has regained his ability to work, i If he is found able to engage in substantial work, and therefore is no longer disabled within the meaning of the law, he will still be paid his benefits for three more months, or a total of twelve months in all. Then the social security checks will be stopped, j This means a disability beneficiary can receive benefits up to twelve months after he returns to work. The twelve month trial work period gives financial support to the disabled beneficiary when he returns to work. He knows he can count on his social security bene fits while he finds out if he can work. For more information, contact your social security office. Gapt. Biddlecomb Dies Aboard Ship Capt.
