charge from the Armed Forces,
already know of the 1946 changes
in the Social Security law made
for their protection. It was temp
orary protection only and has been
largely superseded by the new law.
First, it applied only to service
people who died within that 3-
year period. Second, it did not
apply if the Veterans Administra
tion could pay a pension or com
pensation based on the period of
active service. Third - and most
important » it did not credit
for service pay toward old-age in
surance benefits. This provision
remains in effect for the survivors
of such service -ho'. However, if
larger benefit payments can be
paid under the 1950 Amendments
to the Social Security Act, the new
section of the law will be used.
•'* hat are the major new pro
visions for World War II service
men. Well, to begin with, they
give fli.'i wage t-.ents for ea a
month of active service between
Sept, lit, 1940 aru j j u jy 24, 1917.
Kecomputation to take these wage
credits into account will be made,
and such recomputation is used in
all cases where it will result in
higher old-age or survivors insur
ance payments.
Unlike the 1946 temporary meas
ure, the new provision is not af
fected by any compensation or
pension that may he paid by thjp
Veterans Administration. The only
eases where the $l6O service-con
nected wage credits will not be
given are those in which benefits,
other than a lump sum, are pay
able under some other Federal
plan, for instance, Civil Service
or Railroad Retirement.
The $l6O wage credits will be
given to every serviceman who
had 90 days or more of military or
naval service, within the dates
mentioned, and whose discharge or
release from service was not dis
onorable. The 90-day provision
does not apply if discharge was
caused by injury or disability, or
death occurred while in service.
Obviously, this $l6O a month
service-connected wage credit of
the new Social Security law will
bring larger benefits to present

survivors of servicemen and to the
families of veterans who die within
the next few years. Also, many
World War II ex-servicemen, nosv
in the 50-60 age group, will ac
quire old-age and survivors insur
ance status through these service
earned wage credits.
In its broader aspect, this pro
vision of the amended Social Se
curity Act will enable many vet
erans to regain social security
status built up before the war.
Also, it will help establish these
insurance rights for veterans who
never worked in social security
covered jobs before entering mil
itary service.

cuss the dependent husband and
his eligibility for insurance bene
fit payments under the new Social
Security law. *
