Am at February 1959, old-age,
uwifnnr-. and disability insur
wmm monthly benefits were be
iM paid in Cleveland Counity at
mm rate of $2,407,860 a year, ac
«»«r>g to Lex G. Barkley, man
at ithe Gastonia social sec
urity district office.
*TWs is an increase of about
3over last year,” Mr. Barkley
Mb. Barkley stressed that
while Ithe benefits are intended
jptmaiily for the beneficiary’s e
•eaomae security, Ithe payment
•i social security benefits at the
rate indicated helps business in
tbe awnmuniity generally becau
se most of the money is spent
immediately on food, clothing,
and other necessities. "In Febru
ary social security benefits were
being paid nationally at a rate
at nearly 10 billion dollars an
nually.”
"Payments to a retired work
«wdth no dependents receiving
refits averaged $67.50 a mon
nattionally in February, and to
a retired couple $119.40 a mon
th,” Mr. Barkley said. The aver
age tor a widow with two young
children was $165. The maxi
mum payment for a family is
$254.
"There were several reasons
lo«r the increase in beneficiaries
over last year,” Mr. Barkley said.
The long-term growth of ithe ag
ed population and of Ithe propor
tion of the aged population eli
gible tor benefits 'are important
factors in the continuing increase
in the number of beneficiaries.
Other reasons for ithe increase of
beneficiaries are found in the
provisions of the 1958 Amend
ments to Ithe Social Security Act
which now make it possible for
the wife, dependent husband,
and children of a disabled work
er beneficiary to receive month
ly payments. These amend
ments also provide for benefits
to aged dependent parents of a
deceased worker even though
either survivors are entitled to
payments.
Moreover, Mr. Barkley pcnnitea
out, it is now easier for a dis
abled worker to qualify for ben
efit paymentts. He no longer
needs social security credit for
1% yeans of work in ithe last 3
Mkjs before be became disabled.
^Phe worked under social securi
ty for a least five years out of
the 10 before he became disabled
tie may be eligible for disability
benefits.
"Increases in average 'benefits
payments reflect the 7 percent
raise in benefit amounts which
became effective with the checks
tor January 1959,” Mr. Barkley
said. Average disability benefit
payments also reflect the elimi
nation of the so-called offset pro
vision in the old law. Disability
benefits under social security
are now payable in full even
though benefits are also payable
under State workmen’s compen
sation or under some other Fed
eral Government program.
For the entire State of North
Carolina, social security pay
ments at the end of February 19
S9 were 'being paid to 261,421
beneficiaries at the rate of $12,
847,753. per month. Social Secur
ity benefits totaling $112,429,200
were paid in North Carolina dur
ing 1958.
