Miss Mode Notes
So. Sec. Changes
Among the recent changes made in the Social Security law was an increase in the amount of the monthly payment? made to individuals who are now receiving oldage and survivors insurance checks, according to Henrietta Mode, field representative of the Alexandria social security office. She stressed that it is not necessary for beneficiaries to contact a social security office to apply for these increases, as they will be made automatically. The checks issued in October for the month of September will contain the higher amount. There are 106 men, women and children in Rappahannock County receiving old-age and survivor’s insurance benefits.
Miss Mode explained that the amount of the increase will not be the same for everyone. In the case of a retired worker, the increase; will be at least $5.
