Work Requirements 65-YEAR-OLD WORKERS By Notley Maddox wMmmwninMDWMMDwmoimHoupMMUioMM To qualify1 for siocial security beaefits, the worker must be in sured uhder the program. If a per son works on covered jobs about half the time from January 1937 until he reaches 65 or dies, gen erally he is insured. Once he has worked a total of ten years on covered Jobs he is insured .for life even though he does no morel work in covered employment. Not all persons can meet rhese work requirements. If he has not worked long enough before 65, the wage earner may continue working after 65 until he can qualify. If the worker dies before he Is fully insured, it may still be possible to pay certain surviv ors provided the wage earner worked for at least one and one haif years in the last three years of his life. > , Although survivors benefits can be paid on the basis of part time work as explained above, the a mount of benefits is very impor tant Benefits are based on total wages received from covered jobs. Therefore, if the worker is em ployed on covered Jobs only part of the time since January 1937. the benefits will not beas high as they would be if he had work ed regularly. If the worker is insured, he may qualify for benefits at age 65 or anytime thereafter upon filing a claim with his social security office. However, he cannot re ceive benefits as long a 3 he con tinues to work in covered em ployment *nd earns over $14.99 a month in wages. This does not mean that a person must retire permanently from work before he can receive benefits. If he is out of work for anly one month, he may receive payment for that month provided he has a claim ""Xin file. ? ? ? ^=7* Every person who has worked at any time on a covered Job should get in touch with his near est social security office when he reaches 65. He should do tills whether or not he is still work ing. This wil protect him against any possible loss of benefits. Another reason why the work er should call at the social secur ity office when he reaches 65 is to learni whether he is insured under the program. If he is not In ? sured at that time, he will be told how much longer he will have to work to (become insured. That is a big help, because in most cas es he can plan his employment in the future ?o become Insured. More than 1,000 farm owners have received loan checks total ing $4,563,000 from the Farmers Home Administration for construc tton or repair of homes and other buildings through the new farm housing program, according to the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. Veterans of WW II may rein state term policies of National Set vice Life Insurance by paying only two xnanths" premimums, provided they show good health.
