Lump-Sum Benefits
To Those Over IS
Agency Anticipates
Signing Of Amendments
Substituting Monthly Aid

BY the Associated Press
The Social Security Board. antici-
pating quick presidential approval
of amendments to the social security
act, announced today it had stopped
receiving claims for lllmp-sum old
age insurance benefits from persons
IS years old.
One of the revisions which Con-
gress approved substitutes monthly
payments for the lump sum if certain
requirements are met
Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of
the board estimated that 485 900
persons over IS would receive pay
ments under the new schedule next
year at cost of S11000OO00. The
current system, he said. would have
cost not more than s30000,0OO.
Termination of the payment of
lump-sum benefits, up to now pay
able to workers at age 65," Mr.. Alt
meyer said is the only revision of
the old age insurance program to
take effect simultaneously when the
amendments are signed by the Presi-
dent.
Workers who became IS between
now and 1910 and many of those
who have already attained that age
and been paid lump-sum benefits,
will, in almost all cases. get consider
ably more from the revised old age
insurance plan than they could
have received before the law was
amended"
The new monthly benefit pay
ments will go to those workers over
IS who have paid taxes on their in
come for at least 18 months. or at
least half of the time between the
present and their 65th birthday
anniversary.
Mr.. Altmeyer said that $4,000
claims for lump-sum benefits to per-
sons IS years old, involving s10,-
100000, already had been paid.
