Soc. Security Notes
A severely handicapped work er who puts off making his claim for social security payments risks losing all or part of the social security payments that may be due him. This is the information given by Mfts. Hazel F; Daly, social security district manager in Winchester, Virginia. Disability payments under the program may be made retroactive for a maximum of 12 months before the month a claim is filed, said Mrs. Daly. She went on to say that no disability payments are made for the first 6 months a worker is disabled. To get disability payments a worker must meet a special disability work requirement of the social security lawf1 This requirement, Mrs. Daly explained, is that the worker have 5 years of work under social security in the 10 year period before he is disabled. A claim for benefits must be made soon after the disability begins. Any worker who is too disabled to work and whose condition is not obviously temporary should get in touch with the office at Winchester, Virginia without delay. “Only by doing so," concluded Mrs. Daly, “can the worker be sure he will not lose social security payments which are rightfully his.”
