CKESIII SCCIAl SECUIH - By Maariee VL Moore-. , ' Some 550,000 disabled ' workers, their wives, and minor children are now receiving monthly social secur ity disability benefits totaling $48 million a month. Many more will be drawing benefits soon as a result of the recent change in the law providing payments to disabled workers aged SO to 65 were eligible for payments. y Today, the Social Security Act provides monthly benefit protection for disabled workers and their fam ilies, just the same as for retired workers and their families, land for the families of deceased workers. To qualify for disability insurant benefits, a worker must be disabl ed for any substantial gainful work,' no ne must nave worked for a suf ficient length of time under the so cial security program. The work requirements for en titlement to social security disabil ity benefits are a little more strict than the normal requirements for old-age and survivors insurance. In addition to meeting "the disability requirements, a disablied worker must have had at least five years work under social security in the ten years prior to the onset of his disability. The work need not have oeen rou tune or steadv. but ii must have been performed in em ployment or self -employment cover ed Dy tne social security law. When a worker becomes Kprim.c'v disabled,, with a disability that is considered to be permanent or long lasting, he or a member of his family should contact the nearest social security district office to ob tain specific Infermation about his possibile rights under ; the social security program. Rleht now. di. abled workers under aee so. who have not applied to their social sec urity office in the past to have their social security records ' frozen, should get in touch with that office now. Payments to them and their dependents cannot begin until they make application. The social sec urity office Jn Wilmington is locat ed at 14 S. 16th St.-' '.. . i Pisabled workers Under; age ' 50 who have already applied to have their social security records frozen need not contact their social securi ty offices now They will be notified by mail of what they need to do, if anything, to get. their payments started. . , , . . , , , BIBLE FACTS of i:;.;:i5T By Ella V.
