EE1NWAIX i Field Representative This is the third in a series of i articles on the new amendments to the Social Security Act. The 1960 amendments have su:> stantly .e vised the earnings test for beneficiaries. Prior to 1.61. a! beneficiary under age 72, who I earned more than (1.200 in a ! year, generally lost oae month's 1 benefit check Per every $30. or ! fraction, of $80, over $1,200. Beginning with 1961. a new earnings test becomes effective, | alifc/wing most beneficiaries to earn mo.e money and yet have fewer Social Security monthly checks withheld. A beneficiary who earns less than $1,200 a year will still pet his benefit checks for all months of the yar . How-, ever, fo- those earning: over SI, 200 a year, the folXwin? test Is ap plied: For every $2 that a worker cf.rns between $1,200 and Si, 500, $1 in benefits will be witheld; for every $1 that he earns above $1,500. $1 in benefits will be with held. Where dependants of the wor*t ~r are receiving Social Security bandits, earnings over $1,200 will tK? charged against the family ' benefits payable. Thus, a man and wife receiving $180 a month in ' Social Sec urity benefits would re ceive soir.e benefit checks, if the wage earner earned less than $3,510 in a year. i Here is a simple lormula to h:.lp you determine if any checks can be paid, in case you earn over $1,210: Multiply the amount of t o check you and your family receive by 12, add1 $1,350. and if you earnings are less than the sum of these two amounts, you and your family will Be entitled to some Social Security checks.

The old Social Security Law made no provision for payments to widows of workers who died be fore 1940. Under tile new law, wi dows of workers who died after March 31, 1938, and before Jan uary 1, 1940, may now qualify for benefits if they are age 62 or over and the deceased worker had at least six quarters of coverage un der Social Security. Get in touch wouth your Social Security office if you believe you can qualify for these benefits. Another change In the Social Se curity Law Is the employment of a parent by a son or daughter. Beginning with Jan 1. 1961, work done by a parent for a son or daughter in the course of a trade or business will be covered by So cial Security. Work done in the household of a son of daughter is excluded from Social Secuvlty cov erage. Another change is the reduc tion of the waiting time required by, a wife or step-child to qualify for benefits. Until the new amend ments, the wife or step-child of a worker was required to wait three years after the marriage to be come eligible for benefits. The present revnlslons provide that payments to the wife and step child can be made if the marriage has been in effect for at least one year.
