30 AGED IN KENT
HAVE CHECKS
Receiving Monthly Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance
Checks in Kent County
SIX TYPES OF BENEFITS

Thirty residents of Kent county
are among the 338 Delawareans
who are receiving monthly old-age
and survivors insurance checks, it
was announced today by Roger r.
Minker, manager of the Social Sc
curity Boards office in the Odd
Fellows Hall building in Whining
ton. The total of monthly benefits
paid in the county was S479.63 in
June and the State total for the
same month was S6,098.06. Both
the number of benefciaries and the
monthly payments will grow as
time passes, since the benefits con-
tinue for each month as long as
the beneficiary remains eligible
and new applications are being re-
ceived as insured workers retired
or die" Mr.. Minker said. The
Board official pointed out that six
types of monthly benefits are be-
ing paid and that these started in
January 1910. Twenty-three re-
tired workers above the age of 65
received monthly benefits of S405.-
"A in Kent county during June and
four of them had wives over 65
who were receiving checks for half
as much as their husbands. Month
ly payments are being made also
to dependent children of insured
workers who retire or die, to
widows of insured workers when
they reach IS, to younger widows
of such workers while they have
children in their care
and to aged dependent parents of
insured workers who die without
leaving a widow or dependent
child. Lump sum payments are
made in cases where an insured
worker dies without leaving a rela-
tive Immediately entitled to re-
ceive monthly payments. All pay
ments depend upon the insured
status of the worker, and the
amount depends upon his average
monthly wage and the number of
years he has been covered in the

plan, Mr.. Minker explained. Ex-
pressing the belief that some per-
sons in Kent county who might be
eligible to receive monthly pay
ments have not filed claims, Mr..
Minker extended an invitation to
them to communicate with the So
cial Security Board Office in Will
mington at any time or with a
representative of the Board at the
Post Office, Dover, Delaware every
