Office f . Modt everyone thinks of eocial security u a retirement plan for ' those who are 65 or over. Actually the program benefits many other1 fTotrpa. evpeeielly children, Yog may be skeptical as wax an em* ployee of a email Rappahannock county concern with whom I talked several weeks ago who mid; “How will social security help my ' children?” I’ll tell you as I told a him. That account number card you carry with you amounts to ‘ much more than just your name and a long number. It represents an insurance policy on which you make payments every time your • employer hands you a pay check.
You have probably asked yourself .a dozen times, “If something happened to me, how would my ‘ family get along? Blow far could my wife stretch the monthly pay? ment from my life insurance?** Here is an actujd case where eocial aecurity benefits are a great ' help to a small family. I wont use the real names. Mrs. Stevens told am that her hnaband had died, Isirvifig ihree' small children. After talking with her awhile, I realised that I had seen her husband often on trips to that section of my area. He was an attendant at a gas station where I stopped regularly for service and for directions to various parts of the county.
I helped Mrs. Stevens complete an application for social security benefits for herself and the,, three children. I could not tell her at the time how much she would receive, but assured her that there „ would be monthly payments. After > securing a record of her husband’s earnings from our centra] office in Baltimore, I wrote her that she would get $50 a month for her’• oelf and children. Later I saw her. She said thalt when she,first talked with me, she had no idea how she was going to get along on the email monthly payments from the insurance policy her husband carried; but with the $50 from oldage and survivors insurance, she could get by if she budgeted carefully. This is only one of the many cases of this kind handled each week by the Alexandria Social Security office and othersrihrough, w* the country. Your government provides this’ method! for wage ,*** earners to build .protection for themggfves and their families.
