Social Security Notes

The rish of disability hangs over all of us, and although It may strike only one in every hundred, it may affect a family’s financial security more than retirement or even the death of a worker. Protection against the loss of earnings because of disability has been a part of social security since 1954, when the 'disability freeze" was enacted. Monthly disability benefits were not paid until July 1957 when disabled workers, who were at least 50 years of age could qualify. The age 50 requirement was dropped effective with November 1960. Since November 1960, monthly disability benefits could be paid to" the disabled worker, provided he met the disability work requirement and the severity of disability test. Today, the disabled worker may qualify for monthly dis ability benefits if he meets the following requirements; (a) He must have 5 years of work during a 10 year period ending when he became disabled, and (b) He must have a disability which prevents him from doing any substantial gainful work, and this disability must be expected to last (or has lasted) for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death, and (c) He must have filed an application with social security, and (d) He nfUst not have attained age 65. It should be noted that disability benefits are not payable to a worker who has attained age 64. The age 65 work er would be eligible for old age benefits and the amount of the benefit woulcTbe the same as if he were disacled. The amount of „a disabled worker’s benefit is based on his average monthly earnings under social security. Two workers may have the same disability and may have worked for the same employer for
