THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7,1938. Q(;RATIONS AM) ANSWERS ABOUT OLD-AGE INSURANCE { Given below are questions that have been asked by men or women of this region. The answers are sup plied by Mr. Stacey W. Wade, Man ager of the Raleigh office of the Social Security Boards. QUESTION — I lost my job not long ago< when the pressing shop where I was employed went out of business. When I went to the Em ployment Service to apply for un employment insurance benefits I was told that my former employer was not subject to the law and therefore I was not entitled to bene fits. They said that in North Caro lina nobody gets unemployment in surance except people who had been working for employers having eight or more employees; and my boss had only two employees. I have been paying my one per cent wage tax all along. How does it happen that I am not entitled to benefits, now that I am without a job? * ANSWER—Employers of eight or more workers in commerce or in dustry in North Carolina are sub ject to the tax under the State un employment compensation law; and their employes are included under the benefit provisions of that law. But workers who are employed by firms exempted under the law are not entitled to this job insurance. Workers do NOT pay tax under the unemployment compensation law in this state. Unemployment compensation (or Insurance) is one thing and old-age insurance is something else —an entirely different provision of the Social Security Act. Workers who participate in the federal old-age insurance system are not neces sarily covered by the state unem ployment compensation laws. QUESTION —My husband who wbs employed in a mill died a short time ago. I am told that his glgll# Hr HBr% J 4&P m| ''/ • ____________ - : iwi^y pim||| -: • : >• : ||p|§£ ilßife * *ll.

AN ENJOYABLE NEW SERIAL rmmmmn 1 -■ 11 BEGINNING NEXT WEEK wage record under the Social Se curity Act entitled me to some benefits, and I have been advised to file a claim for payment. Please tell me if there is any charge for filing a claim for old-age insurance benefits. ANSWER: There are no charges whatever made by the Board in connection with the filing of such claims, and no outside assistance is necessary. If you are entitled to file a claim for such benefit, any Social Security Board office will furnish you with the necessary claims forms and will give you as sistance in filling out the forms properly. This service is abso lutely free. QUESTION: What is meant by a lump-sum payment of old-age in surance ? ANSWER: That means that the whole amount of the benefit due an insured worker who reaches age 65 or the death payment due the es tate of a deceased wage earner is paid at one time. The claimant re ceives the money due him in ONE check. QUESTION: What is to pre vent a creditor from finding out how much old-age insurance a rel ative received from the Govern ment in payment of benefits due the survivor of a deceased worker? ANSWER: The Social Security Board keeps confidential all infor mation regarding workers. No one but trusted employees of the Social Security Board ever sees the records of the people who have so cial security accounts. The Board protects the worker against any outside attempts to utilize this in formation for any reason whatso ever. No employer and no other branch of the Government has ac cess to the files of the Social Se curity Board. Only that picture is noble which is painted in love of the reality— Ruskin. Tobacco Prices Up Markets in the old bright belt report good prices for tobacco. An average of approximately 25c a pound is estimated. The advance is mainly on better grades of the weed. Frost Has Come With the cool weather that has been the rule for some days has come frost in some sections, though not heavy enough to do material damage. Killing frost is not usual here until after the middle of this month; but not even the weather bureau can predict all the changes that may come. Want To Be A Mail Carrier?
