G. A. Bridges, Mayor Walsh Explains New Provisions Of Social Security Foi Women By Joseph P. Walsh (Manager of the Gastonia Social Security Office) Today, I'm addressing.my dis cussion of the new social security law to women—to wives of re tired Insured workers, to widows of deceased insured workers, to women workers who are in em ployment or self-employment that coiitits toward old-age and survivors insurance benefits, and to those dependent mothers who might become eligible for survi vors payments if an insured son or daughter should die. The i->56 amendments to the law lower the age at which wo men can receive benefits. Begin ning with November of this year (iyw>) wormren can start getting payments at age 62. Widows and (in case there is no surviving child or spouse en titled to {benefit (payments) de pendent mothers, may begin get ting survivors benefit payments when they reach age 62. They will get (lie same monthly bene fit that tiioy would have started to get at age 65 under the old law. Wives of retired insured work ers and retired insured working women can, if they choose, start getting benefit payments at age 62. However, the monthly bene fit amount payable to them will be somewhat less than the amounts of the benefits they would have received had they waited until age 65. fn case a wife or an insured working wo man elects to start getting bene fits before age 65, she .will con 'Emerson "N-PhonoM&o O TELEVISION viewing at Its finest with Emerson "Future" chassis. ©RADIO with rich, clear tone end exceptional range. ©PHONOJACK with switch for danc ing and listening pleasure OUN0ER PILLOW LISTENING AT TACHMENT' lor comlortabla per sonal listening ©AUTO AND BOAT PLUG-IN* per mils operation of set by merely plugging Into your car or boat. •Optional equipment * Nowyou can have television.radio aiul record entertainment in every room in the house and wher ever yiyri go Emerson packs a mil lion dollars' worth of pleasure into one tiny featherweight cabinet that you can easily carry anywhere.

September 12 thru 15 MURRAY’S NO PARKING PROBLEMS 610 Stone Street tin ue to receive a reduced amount after She reaches that age. The longer a woman waits after reaching age 62 and before age 65 to start getting .payments, the less the reduction in the amount of the monthly benefit. Let’s take the example of a woman who has 'been employed in work covered by social secur ity long enough to become in sured. Assume that her full monthly benefit amount, based on her average earnings in cov ered work, is $78.00. If she waits until she reaches age 65 to retire, she will get that full amount every month from then on. But she will reach 62 in November 1956. If she decides to retire then she can get old-age payments starting with November. The amount she will receive will be 80 percent of the monthly amount she would receive if she waited until she reached 65. This will be $62.40 monthly instead of $78.00 per month. If she waits until she is 63 to start getting retirement payments,’ her bene fit amount will be $67.60 mon thly. Every year, and every month within a year in which she puts off receiving retirement benefits up to age 65, will in crease her benefit amount slightly.. I want to point out again, however, that once she starts getting reduced payments, she will not be able to qualify later for the full payment. The above example applies at so the wife of a retired insured worker receiving benefits. In her case, however, the amount of the monthly benefit she would get, if she chose to claim payments at age 62, woulld be T5 percent of what she vyould get if she waited until she reached age 65. As in the case of the woman worker, the wife’s monthly pay ments will ibe a little larger each month she defers claiming bene fits after her 62nd birthday and before she reaches 65. However, if her retired insured husband should die at any time after she has begun to receive her reduced benefits she will begin receiving full widow’s benefits plus the lump-sum death payment. Now that the standing age for vw>men beneficiaries is 62 in stead of 65, less time in work covered by social security may be required in some cases for a woman worker to become insur ed. Generally, the required time is one-half the time elapsing af ter 1950 up to the time she rea ches age 62 instead of age 65, with a minimum of at least 1H years of covered work. Under the amended law, a person who works continuously after 1955 ran become insured with fewer quarters of coverage, I mentioned Insured status for women workers because it is im portant not only to those now 62 or nearing that age, but also to certain survivors (dependent children, widowers, or parents) of some women workers who rea ched age 65 or died after June 30, 1954, without having enough covered work to ibe insured under the old law. If they had enough work to be insured under the amended law, they or their sur vivors may be able to qualify for benefit payments. Today, I’ve explained how age 62 has become important to wo men under the new social secur ity law. In my next article I’ll tell why age 50 is of great signi ficance to many now disabled workers formerly in employment or self-employment that counts toward old-age and survivors in surance benefits.
