Who Is Getting Social Security?
ML
BACKYARD PUMP How many gallons of water
has been pumped from the old backyard pump? Only
the person who has done it for so long knows. A pump
never worried about electricity, cold mornings,
washday or anything. It just brought you water.
Over three million
disabled workers and their
families are getting monthly
social security payments as
the social security disability
program begins its 16th year
this month.
When social security
disability payments were
first paid in July 1957, only -disabled
workers between 50
and 65 were eligible for
payments.
Today, severely disabled
workers of any under 65 and
certain members of their
families can eet disability
payments. And starting this
month, disabled people who
can get disability payments.
And starting this month,
disabled people who have
been entitled to social
security payments for 1
years or more can get
Medicare protection.
To be eligible for social
security disability
payments, a worker must be
severely disabled and unable -to
work for a
year or more.
Km Payment begins for the 6th
month of disability.
Generally, a worker who
becomes disabled in 1973
must have worked in em
ployment covered under
social security for at least
five and one half years and
five years of the work must
have been during the 10
years before his disability
began.
Young workers, however,
may be eligible for disability
payments with as little as
one and one half years of
covered work, depending on
their age and when they
become disabled.
A worker between the ages
of 24 and 31 ne' is credit for
having work.- under social
security .ii the period
between c time he became
21 an'1 .ie time he became
dis;r d. Before age 24, the
worUr needs credit for one
and one half years of work in
the three year period before
his disability began.
When a worker applies
for disability payments,
he submits medical evidenct
establish his
isability. Then,
physicians and other
disability experts in a State
agcncy-usuaiiy me stale s
vocational rehabilitation
agency-decide whether the
worker is disabled under the
social security law.
In most. cases,
the State agency can
the basis ef medical
evidence from the ap-
plicant's own physician. If
additional evidence is
needed, further medical
tests may be required at the
Government's expense.
NICE TOUCH A nice touch to any yard is this
runner for roses spotted in the Bethel community. No
one could think of the name for the gadget which
catches the roses as they climb it.
Why Summer Months Are Hotter
And Winter Months Are Colder
Is air pollution triggering a
new ice age?
Even in a hot summer, the
question worries scientists.
They point out winters have
been getting colder for the
last 30 years, and only an
annual drop in temperature
from 6 deg. F. to 8 deg. F.
around the world would be
enough to touch off a new ice
age.
Eventually - in several
thousand years - it would
become the sort of chilling
. spectacular that drove early
man deep into his cave, that
proved too much for the
woolly mammoth, and
grooved lakes into hundreds
of miles of Canada as an ice
sheet thousands of feet thick
ground over the land and
mountains.
This time many of the
world's cities might be
crunched flat. "Energy
crisis" and "food shortage"
might be more than headline
phrases, and man might
seriously think about
colonizing the moon.
Freezing Hothouse
The temperature may be
edging downward, according
to one growing belief,
because thickening air
pollution is shielding the
atmosphere and reflecting
the sun's heat rays back into
space. If this is true, it may
be because the phenomenon
is winning a struggle against
another doing the opposite -heating
the world.
Evidence backs up both
theories, the National
Geographic Society says.
Since about 1940, yearly
temperatures have been
slipping down, steadily if
slightly.
Up to that time, tem
peratures gradually had
been getting warmer, thanks
to a "hothouse effect" in the
atmosphere. Carbon dioxide,
pumped into the air by
factories and automobiles,
much faster than nature's
growing plants can use it up,
has been trapping the
reflected heat waves inside
the earth's atmosphere, as in
a hothouse.
