Benefits Created
In Revised 0Id-Aqe
Insurance Setup
Amendments Signed
Into Law Provide
Fixed Formula
BY the Associated Press.

~ ehe AsSVCihtcu TIebS.
What benefits can you expect
under the revised system of Federal
old-age insurance?
The amendments to the Social
Security Act which President Roose-
velt signed yesterday provide a def
mite formula for computing benefits
of those covered by the law.
The basic monthly benefit for a
single individual who reaches IS will
be 40 per cent of average monthly
wages up to the first $50, plus 10
per cent of average wages in excess
of $50 That portion of average
monthly wages in excess of $3.50 can
not be counted in the computation,
however. For each year that an in
dividual has been covered under the
insurance program, his benefit will
be increased by l per cent.
If the beneficiary who retires at
IS is married and his wife also is
IS, the wife will receive a supple
mentary benefit amounting to so
per cent of that for her husband.
First benefits will be paid in jan
uary next year.
Widows of insured individuals, IS
years of age or older, will be entitled
to a benefit equal to three-fourths
of the basic benefit which their huS-
bands would have received had they
lived.
A widow under IS, who has no
children under 18, will receive a
lump sum payment equal to six
times the basic monthly benefit of
the insured individual. On attain
ing IS, however, she will receive
three-fourths of the husbands basic
benefit each month for the re-
mainder of her life.
A widow under IS who has un-
married children under 18 will re-
ceive three-fourths of the basic
benefit each month until all the
children reach l8. She then will
cease receiving benefits until she
reaches IS, but at that age again
will receive the monthly payments
of three-fourths of her husbands
basic benefit.
Unmarried children who survive
an insured individual are entitled to
one-half of his basic benefit until
they are 18. The benefits will stop
at l6, however, if the children are
not in school,
The benefits to the children will
be paid in addition to those received
by widow
A parent will receive one-half the
basic benefit of an insured indi-
vidual if the latter dies without leav-
ing wife or dependent children
and If the parent has been depend
ent on the individual and is 65 or
older.

ROCKVILLE, Nd. Aug. IAN
old statute, which, attorneys said,
was apparently unnoticed for years,
came to light today. with the result
that the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission may be forced
to return at least a portion of the
water charges 1t has collected from
public agencies in Montgomery
County
Miss Vivian V. Simpson and Jo-
seph D. Simpson, counsel to the
county commissioners, called off,
cials' attention to the law when the
Sanitary Commission submitted
bill for water used at the suburban
County Building in Silver Spring.
The statute, they pointed out, ex-
empts the county from payment for
water service for any public build
ings an dat the same time provides
similar exemptions for fire depart
ments whose engine houses obtain
water from the Sanitary Commits
sion.
Records Checked for Total.
County Accountant Alexander
Hancock began an immediate study
OF records to determine the amount
the county has paid for water con-
sumed at the suburban buildings in
Silver Spring and Bethesda and
the Liquor Dispensary Building in
Silver Spring.
Miss Simpson and Mr.. Simpson
said the county apparently is en-
titled to rebate of the sum it has
paid the sanitary body and declared
claim for reimbursement would
be presented when Mr.. Hancock
completes his study.
1t was said, however, the statute
OF limitations probably would apply
and reimbursement no doubt would
be limited to the amount paid the
commission during the past three
years
Planning Body May Apply.
Attorneys to the commissioners
also declared the Maryland-N National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion doubtless will apply for rebate
OF any money it may have paid the
sanitary body, including water serv-
ice for Jesup Blair Community House
III Silver Spring.
They added that the law would not
affect water rents at the courthouse
in Rockville because that building is
supplied by the towns municipal
system and not by the Sanitary
Commission. The law providing the
exemptions Is part of the Sanitary
Commission Act and thus affects
only that agency.
Sanitary Commission officials said.
however, that they were not un-
aware of the exemption, but that
the county had had continuing un-
derstanding it would pay for water
received. If the point were pressed,
free water probably would be pro-
vided, 1t was said. although 1t might
entail an increase in rates charged
private consumers.
