SS Important to All Ages
If you’re in that half of the U. S. population that’s under 30 you may think social security is something remote and unimportant to you right now. Not so, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager for Winchester.
“In this generally healthy and youthful group, nearly 2-1/2 million people receive benefits because they are disabled or are dependent upon disabled workers. Over 3 million widowed mothers and young children get monthly social security checks as survivors of workers,” Mrs. Crumpton stated “Half a million students age 18 to 22 and a| quarter of a million people who became disabled in childhood get monthly benefits as the children of retired, deceased, or disabled Workers,” she went on. “Disabled children get social security benefits as long as they are not able to work.”
“The money in cases like these is important, of course,” Mrs. Crumpton added. “But for the young worker who knows that his family will be at least partially provided for should he be injured or die prematurely, there is also peace of mind.”
