SECURITY by Henrietta Mode, Field Rep.

The 1954 Amendments to the So.cial Security Act contain a provision that directly concerns survivors of certain individuals who died after 1939 and before September 1950. If sifeh an individual had at least six quarters of coverage,, or one and one-half years of work covered by the law, his survivors may now be entitled to social security benefits. Under the prvious law, workers who died prior to September 1950 must have had more than six quarters of coverage to be insured upon death. In many of these coses*,the survivors inquired or applied for benefits, and were told they "\Vere not entitled because the deceased ' worker did not have the required amount of work. However, many of these workers did have as muc as one and one-half years, ami now their survivors may be entitled to benefits.

The survivors who may be entitled to monthly benefits under this provision are the unremarried widow age 65 or over, the unremarried widow under age 65 who has a child under 18 in her care, and children under 18. Benefits may also be paid to dependent pa^rentsif the worker was not survived by a widow or child. In order to receive benefits, eligible survivors must file application with a social security office, and submit birth certificates of children under 18, marriage certificate, and proof of age in cases of widows who are age 65 or over.

For the convenience of residents of Rappahannock County, a i^*resentative of the Alexandria t cial security office may be conta< ed in Washington on the four • ^Wednesday of each month at the County Agent’s office.
