Soc. Security Notes
Young fathers who feel they rave lots of responsibility and ittle financial security for their families if they die or are disabled nay have more protection than they think, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Va.
“Social security can help support not only the worker, but ilso his wife and children if he is disabled,” she said. “And it can provide monthly checks for his family if he dies.”
“Each month nearly 2-1/21
million disabled workers and their dependents and over 3 million surviving children and widowed mothers get social security checks,” said Mrs. Crumpton. Amounts of the checks depend on the worker’s average earnings under social security.
Disability benefits for a worker with a wife and one child range from $96.00^ a month to a maximum of $434,40, with the average about $273.00. Most young men whose annual salaries are in the $7,500 range and above would be eligible for benefit payments close to the maximum amounts, according to Mrs. Crumpton.
Survivors benefits for a widow with two children range from a minimum of $96.00 a month to about $434.40, with the average about $292.00.
“A worker under 24 needs only 1-1/2 years work under social security to have disability protection. Between 24 and 31 he needs to have worked only half the time between 21 and th< time he is disabled to qualify foi monthly checks for himself ant his family,” Mrs. Crumptor noted.
