STARTS WEDNESDAY \^ley of the Dolls THE MOTION PICTURE THAT SHOWS WHAT AMERICAS ALL-TIME fri BEST-SELLER FIRST PUT INTO WORDS! No Change In Payments To Worken Most workers are not likely to see any change in their pay- checks because of social security untii much later in the year, if their rate of pay is the same as it was in 1967. This is true even though major improvements were made in the social security law recently. Social Security SWEETIE PIE Q. Can a woman draw her dis ability social security lor herself and her children even though her husband has a full-time job? A. Yes. A disabled woman work er can draw disability payments on her own social security record and her dependent children can also be paid on her record. Her husband may be fully employed at a high income. Your need is not a consideration in social se curity payments. Q. I am over 65 and have Doctor Bill insurance. I owe several hun dred dollars in doctor bills. I can not afford to pay them. What can I do? A. Get itemized bills from the doctors, and file your claim witli Medicare. If you need assistance with the forms, go to your Social Security Office. After Medicare sends you the money, you can use it toward paying your doctor bills. The social security tax contri bution rate will be the same for 1968 as it was in 1967. This means ^that the amount deducted for so- i cial security from each paycheck I will be the same this year as It was last. But, if earnings are over $6,600 this year, the deductions will continue for a longer time. This is because the maximum amount of yearly earnings that counts for social security has been increased to $7,800. It was $6,600 in 1967. Q. My wife died last year and was survived by myself and two children under 18 years of age.' Even though my wife had plenty: of social security credits, I was! tojd no payment could be made to the children because she had not worked any in the last 3 years of her life. Has this provision changed? i A. You should recontact the so cial security office and file a claim for the children. Children can now get benefits on their I mother’s work record with thcl same requirements needed to get! them on their father's record. "Uh-oh! Your upside-down coke is downside the future if they continue to pay social security taxes On thn maximum earnings of $7S(Xt. | Q. Will Medicare pay for a wheel chair bought for my aged mother? The value of the protection earned through social security is greater than ever before fo* two reasons. First, the amount of monthly cash .social security benefits being paid was increas ed by at least 13 percent. Sec ondly, because of the increase in the amount of yearly earnings that counts for social security, the value is greatre. liluiMh MIfflHfflilSIl® iraoill IflCSBllMPliiM ADULT PRICES ONLY Sl.OO LATE SHOW SAT. 10:00 P.

If he has enough cred it for work under social security, he could receive a monthly dis ability benefit of 8218the highest monthly payment possible under the social security law. If he has a wife and two or more chijdren, the family can receive an addi tional $216.40 a month, for a total : monthly social security payment o* $434,40. The disabled worker ; would continue to receive benefits ' for as long as his disability pre- ; vented him from working. Q. Will the increase in the social security eamings base from $6600 to $7800 mean an in crease in future social security benefits? A. The more you pay into the program, the more you get out of it. A young worker today, who pays social security taxes, on $7800 and continues to do so! in future years, can except to re-! ceive much more when he reaches retirement age. The maximum benefit payable to a worker under j the new law is $218.00 per month. This is a thirty percent increase over the maximum pa.yable im-f der the old law. This, in a nut shell, means that younger work-, ers can expect a substantially higher social security benefit in A. Yes. Medicare can now pay! the cost of durable medical equip-' ment. Reimbursement will be; made in installments as the chair is used, somewhat like rent until the cost of the chair has been paid by Medicare. Of course, if the chair is neded only 2 months, the reimbursement from Mc<li- care will bo only a part of the cost of the chair - not the full cost even though bought outright by your mother.
