Cost Of Living
On The Rise
WASHINGTON, D.C. -The
cost of living for an ur
ban family of four rose
about 6 per cent in the one
year period from autumn '
1975 to autumn 1976, ac
cording to figures released
by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
In three hypothetical
family budgets released by
the Bureau, the living costs
for an urban family con
sisting of a 38-year-old hus
band, his non-working wife,
a 13-year-old boy and an 8-year-old
girl, could expect
the average cost of an in
termediate budget to
amount to about $16,236.
That same family living on
a lower budget would spend
$10,041. A higher budget
would amount to $23,759.
' Family consumption
items comprised 76 per cent
of the intermediate family

24 per cent composed of
gifts and contributions, life

Social Security
Interest Message
By LEE WALLIO
Field Representative
Young people who
wonder whether Social
Security will be around
when they are ready to
retire should be aware that
Social Security means a lot
to them right now.
Many people forget that
Social Security pays other
types of benefits besides
retirement benefits.
It also pays benefits to
people whose disability
keeps them from working
for a year or more, or is ex
pected to result in death,
and to the survivors of
deceased workers.
In fact, about a third of
the 33 million people receiv
ing Social Security checks
are under age 60.
And Medicare, too, is ho
longer just for people 65 and
older.
It is also for people who
are eligible for Social
Security disability benefits
for two years or more and
insured workers and their
dependents who have per
manent kidney failure.
The value of your
disability or survivors pro
tection depends, of course,
on your age when you die or
become disabled, on how
many dependents you have,
and on your average earn
ings covered by Social
Security.
Social Security benefits
are based on average
annual earnings over a
period of years.
The benefit is increased
by 50 percent for each

Total family consumption
at the lower and higher
budget levels comprise II
per cent and 72 per
cent of the family budget,
respectively. ;
Food costs represented .
the largest single expen
diture for the lower and in
termediate budgets, while
. housing expenditures were .
the largest component at
the higher level Food costs
accounted for 37 per cent of
' total family consumption at

dependent of a disabled
worker and by 75 percent
for each surviving de
pendent up to a family
maximum.
For example, if your
average earnings covered
by Social Security were
$1,000 a month, or $12,000 a
year, and you became
disabled at age 30 and have
a wife and two children,
both under five, you would
be entitled to a maximum
family benefit of $956.40 a
month or $11,476.80 a year.
Your payments would
continue as long as you're
disabled.
Your children would be
eligible for checks until
they reach 18 or until 22 if
they are unmarried full
time students. Your wife
would be eligible for
payments as long as she
has a child under 18 or a
disabled child in her care.
If you should die, your
survivors would also be
eligible for payments.
Survivors benefits would
continue until the youngest
child reaches 18, or age 22 if
he or she remains in school
and does not marry in the
meantime.
These benefits could
amount to more than
$185,000 over the years.
Social Security is more
than just something for the
elderly. It's something you
can count on now.

Security office is located at
