712 RECEIVE OLD
AGE PENSIONS
Payments in November Aver
aged S6S.11 Compared To
S64.36 in the Nation
TWO TYPES OF CLAIMS

Payments Of 43 Delaware claims
under the old-age insurance pro
visions of the social security act
during November brought this
states total Of such payments to
712 up to December /, Roger r.
Minker, manager Of the Social Sc
curity Boards field Office in Will
has announced. Mr..
Minker said the average of No
vember claims in Delaware was
S68.11, which was higher than the
national averge Of S64.36 last
month. The November payments
III Delaware amounted to S2,928.-
65 and brought the total for this
state, since such payments first
were made in January, 1887, to
S31 ,OOO.51, Mr.. Minker said He
pointed out that 1869 claims
were paid during November
throughout the nation. These
brought the national total above
the quarter-million mark to 25O,-
1872 and the national total amount
of payments above the ten million
mark to S1O,697 ,111.83. The No
yember payments amounted to S.
O74 ,75O.97. GAS the lump sum
benefits now being paid under the
old age insurance program OF the
social security act are geared d1-
rectly to the earnings of the indl-
vidual worker, it is natural that
the average claim will increase IN
amount from month to month as
each workers total of earnings in
creases," Mr.. Minker said. This
development soon will bring about
the necessity for a large number
of claimants to establish proof OF
age, since the law requires that
this proof be given with claims for
S1OO or more. This proof is re-
o11ired now with all claims, re-
gardless of the amount involved
where the boards records show
anv discrepancy related to birth
date. The Social Security Board
has approved numerous methods
bv which the date of ones birth
may be established, and this office office
is prepared to assist without
charge all applicants who find 1t
necessary to provide this proof.
Only two types of claims are be
ing paid now. These are: To iv-
inc workers who reach age 65 and
70 close relatives or representa-
tives of the estates of workers
who die. In both types to benefit
is a single payment amounting to
/ 3 1-2 per cent of the wages re-
ceived in covered employment by
the worker after 1886 and before
re reached the age of 65 or died
workers attaining age 65 are not
required to retire in order to col
lect a lump-sum benefit"
