Must File Claims For
Oid-Age Benefits

Henry M. Millhouser. manager of
the Cumberland office of the Social
Security Board, called attention to
the fact that there MAJ be people in
this section who are losing payments
of Old-Agc and Survivors Insurance
because they have not filed claim for
benefits. Some of them are young
widows of insured workers; some are
the children of deceased workers and
some are aged men and women. The
Social Security Act requires that a
claim must be filed before benefits
are paid.
Mr.. Millhouser explained that in
addition to the monthly benefits, pay
able to the insured worker who re-
tires at age 65, or after, the Old-Agc
and Survivors Insurance system pro-
vidcs monthly benefits for his wife,
if she is IS years or over and to his
children under age l6 Us if in school
and unmarried). Monthly benefits are
payable to the widow of an insured
worker who dies, regardless of age,
provided she has in her care, his chill
dren under 16 Us if in school and un-
Old-Agc and Survivors In
surance may be paid to an insured
workers widow if she is IS or more,
or when she reaches 65 or more, (if
she does not re-marry). The field
manager said that he sometimes finds
a case where widow received lump
sum payment following the death of
her husband three or four years ago
and although she has since reached
age IS. she has not applied for the
benefits for which she is
eligible.
