Social Security News Under the changed Social Security Law, the aged de pendent widower of a woman worker who died before Sep tember 1950 can get benefits if the woman worker, before her death, had worked under social security for at least V,2 years. To qualify for these pay ments, the widower must have been dependent upon his de ceased wife for at least one half his support AND he must now be 65 years of age or older. The widower must ap ply to his social security of fice for these benefits. Oc tober 1960 is the first month for which such payments can be made. Dependent widowers not yet 65 should ask their social security office for in formation about filing proof of their dependency. The wid owers of women workers who died before September 1930, must file this proof before Oc tober 1962, to get payments when they do reach 65. You probably know that when a worker covered by social security dies, the lump sum death benefit is paid to the widow or widower if the couple were living in the same household at the time of the death. Under the new law, if there is no surviving spouse, or if the husband and wife were not living together, ar rangements can be made for the lump sum death benefit to be paid to the funeral home for any part of the expenses that have not been paid. When the funeral home has been paid in full, the lump sum death benefit may be paid as reimbursement to those who paid the burial expenses.
