Social Security Act has been In operation eight years and it has been paying off since Jan 1 1940 Yet an astonishing proportion of Americans still think of it only as a system that brightens the lives of people who retire from work after they are 65 There is i good deal more than (hat to Social Security or ex ample to many widows with young children insurance payments provided to families of deceased workers have proven an unexpected and heartening wind fall By the end of June 1943 last date for which compelte figures are compiled 284063 retired workers were receiving monthly checks But monthly benefits also were going to 304345 widows and children i KNOW THEIR RIGHTS And yet a great many potential beneficiaries still don't understand how the Insurance sys tem works or what it is The files of the administering board are sprinkled incidents such as this one: Upon the death of a country store clerk who lived on a small farm (he Social Security field of fice sent the usual claim forms to the widow' who had two small chil dren She fill them out so a man from the field office final ly called on her don't want to have anything do with social she said don't want to take xhar The official pointed out that the money due her was insurance which her husband had earned The widow was delighted then to find she and the children would receive monthly payments of $46 She said they were almost desti tute The money along with what the little farm produced would enable them to live comfortably once her husband's doctor "bills and funeral expenses were paid Another widow went to the local social security office with some hope but much doubt Iler hus band's employer had advised her to make a claim but sbd thought she would be entitled only to a lump sum payment of a couple of hundred dollars The husband had worked stead ily as a bookkeeper for a business concern since 1936 averaging $100 a month in wages The widow was surprised to learn that she and her three aged 8 10 and 12 get benefits totaling $53 a month Stories such as these come In wholesale when tragedies like a mine disaster occur On January 10 1940 ten days after monthly benefits under old age and survi vors insurance became payable a mine blast in West Virginia killed 91 miners More than halt left widows with young children who were able to get insur ance benefits ranging between $32 and $55 a month Millions of workers have reason to know about unemployment in surance another social security program because they have re ceived unemployment payments during weeks when they were out of work Although more than 40 000000 workers are covered only about 100000 of them are drawing out of work benefits now AIDS UNEMPLOYABLES Nearly three million persons un able to earn wages and without enough to live on receive pay ments under still another social se curity program public assistance These payments are made by the States with the help of ederal funds to needy old and blind peo ple and to dependent children who have lost a parent's support or care More people will have a stake in social security if proposals of the Social Security Board for improv ing the program are adopted Brief ly the program would provide: 1 Social insurance on a broader scale to include unemployment and disability benefits and the costs of hospital care 2 Extension of coverage so that all wage and salary workers and even the self employed would be included This would proide pro tection to some 20 million persons who are now excluded 3 Public assistance for all needy people (not only the aged the blind and dependent children as at the payments to be made by the states an the federal government sharing the cost Conference Opens At Third Avenue Church Dr Truitt Speaks At Opening Meet Tonight At 7:30 The 118th
