disabled, the mother needed to have worked under social security for at least V/2 years out of the last three years, unless she was actually supporting the child.

"Hie change eliminated this recent-work requirement.

Beginning with February 1968 monthly benefits are payable to the child of a woman worker who has died, retired, or become entitled to social security disability benefits if she has worked enough to be “fully insured” whether or not she has done any recent work under social security. This means that many children, who are still under age 22, who were denied benefits before, may now be paid.

As an example of how this change works, take the case of Bill and Mary Jones and their three children. Of course, Bill and Mary Jones are fictitious names as all social security records are confidential. Mary worked under social security before her marriage to Bill, then she remained home. Mary was killed in an automobile accident, leaving Bill and their three small children. Bill filed a claim for the lump-sum death payment and social security benefits for the three children. He received the lump sum death benefit, but the children’s claim was denied because Mary had not worked recently under social security, and Bill was supporting the family.
