Mi SOCIAL SECURITY
“I can't believe it." exclaimed
a young veterans widow, “I hail
no idea at all that Tom's Air
Force time would count for Social
Security."
Her husband had died In a tra
ffic automobile accident, and she
was lust learning about the spe
cial social security coverage for
. servicemen and women.
Starting in January, 1957. the
Military Services began withhold
ing FICA taxes as is done in reg
ular industrial employment, and
servicemen began building up so
cial security credits towards their
retirement and for disability and
survivors protection. Their ser
vice pay counted towards social
sei-urity just lik< the wages of an
employee working in private in
i dustry.
Before 1957. social security ere.
dits for servicemen were differ
ent. From September 1JM0
through December 1956 service-!
men did not have FICA taxes

withheld, but. instead received
free credit towards social securi
ty as if they had earned $100 per
month in private industry.
Social security could use these
use these fr?e credits for retire
ment, disability or survivor's pnv
tection. There are some instances
where it is advantageous for
these credits to be used under
another retirement system and,
social security does not use the
iredits in these situations, but
beginning with active Military
Service after Deicmber 31, 1950,
these free credits can always be
used by social security if the ser
viceman was a career man and
served honorably on active duty
after December 31, 1966.
Social Security was able to
tell this widow that she would
receive $X4.70 for herself and $H4.
70 each for her 2 young sons, to
gether with a lump sum death
payment of $256.00. For free In
formation about social security
and servicemen, just ask for
Pamphlet No. 31, "Social Securi
ty For Servicemen".
This is written for the benefit
of anyone who may be asked to
■-ash a social security check or
who will want to use one of these
checks. It is hoped you will read,
and follow this advice. It may
save you money or embarrass
ment depending on which side of
the counter you are on.
Basically, it is felt most people
are honest but with the increase-?
in the amounts of social security
chocks over the past few years,
there are a few who will trv to
get money illegally. These few
people are the ones the social se
curity office Is writing about.
It is hoped the person accept
ing the check will know the in
dividual or be certain he has
proper identification. If you ac
cept a check you are the one who
stands to lose if the person pre
senting the check is not legally
capable of cashing the check.
When the person is caught you
still mav not rw-over your money
and think of the time you can
spend in settling the problem!
For this reason you should re
quire proper identification before
turning over your money t o
someone with a check. Possession,
it is said, is nine-tenths of the
law. however, that tenth may
cost you money! In other words
possession does not necessarilv
mean the chock belongs to that
individual.
Checks carry instructions for
making payment. In the situa
tion where it- is signed by mark
the instructions clearly state that
2 witnesses must sign in your
presence. When you present a
check for payment be sure you
have proper identification. (A so
cial security card will not serve
this purpose.) You may be em
barrassed if someone refuses to

: protection, two doses are neces
sary.

“But the critical element is that
we must give the vaccine to over
70 per cent of the total popula
tion in order to he successful and
1 give a final deathblow to the po
' lio menace in our community.” he
added.
i

. afternoon. The counties are Alex
ander. Catawba. Cleveland. Ire
dell. Lincoln. Mecklenburg and
I Union.
"We hope to have a doctor on
virtually fevery program schedul
ed from now until March 22." Dr
i Johnson said, “even if we must
limit ourselves to a very few min
! utes between other features ol
the already-scheduled programs.'
I However, he said that any eivic
group ca;i also request a speak
I or to furnish the entire program
, including a film which explain*
the vaccine and the reasons fot
the mass immunization program
He urged that program chairmen
or club presidents contact him
| in the near future about s|>eakers
for their groups.
