More Facts On Social Security (Begianing January 1, 1951, over 4Vi rnillian sslf-enaployed persona Vvere brough'. under the Federal o’.d-age and survivors in surance program. This is the fifth of SIX articles written by Stanley B. Earl. Field R^resentative of the Social Security Administra tion, explaining many of the Self- employed provisions of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1950) V. Figuring the benefit The Social Security Act A- mendments of 1950 provides a new^ and much simpler method for figuring social security benefit payments. The formula included io the TOW law wall be used in .y)mputiag most future benefit payments. It cannot be used, howp iKver, until the wage earner ot self-employed person is credited with at least six quarters of cov erage after 1950. The foundation for all benefit compuntations is the worker’s* werage monthly earnings. The new benefit formula provides for flooring the average monthly earnings on the basis of only wages and self-employment in come earned after 1950; then taking 50 percent of the first $100 of average monthly earnings, plus 15 percent of the average month ly earnings that exceed $100. For example, a self-employed person whose earnings average $200 a month will be eligible to a month ly retirement benefit of $65—50% of the first $100, or $50, added to 15% of the next $100, or $15. A person averaging $300 will re ceive an $80 monthly retirement benefit — $50 plus $30. Those whose average earnings are $100 a month or less will be eligilble to a retirement payment equal to half his average monthly earn ings. In the case of the self-employ ed person, average monthly earn ings are generally determined by adding self-employment income credited after December 31, 1950, or after age 22, if later, and up to the end of the last taxable year ending before he died or became entitled to a retiremnt benefit. This amount is divided by the number of months elapsing dus^ ing that period, but in no case can the devisor months be less Medical Directory MEOfCAL DOCTORS DR. R. A.

Take the case of' the businessman who reache.=i age 65 and retires in the middle of 1952. He will have made only one self-emplojonent income re port reflecting self-employment income earned during one tax able year. Although this income may have been earned during a 12Hmonth period, the minimum di visor of 18 months must be used in figuring his average monyily earnings. Thus it would be to his advantage to defer filing his ap plication for reti^jement payments until ^fter he makes his social security .report on his 1952 earn ings, at the beginning of 1953.
