Social Security Question Box
The Democrat Will Be Pleased to An. swer Any Ques- ton on Social
 s c curity
 Provisions.

Question: Can a stepchild collect Social Security benefits7 My daugh- ter is ten years old. Her own father is dead. She has lived with her stepfather and me for the past six years. He has supported her all that time. Would she get anything if he should die2
 Answer: A stepchild may be el- iRible for benefits under the old-age and survivors insurance provisions of the Social Security Act. If your husband should die before your daughter reached eighteen she would be eligible for monthly ben eft from the time of his death until she attained the age of eighteen The amount of benefit payable tc your daughter would be one-haf oi your husbands primary benefit rate which is based on his average monthly wage and the number oi years he has worked in employment covered by the law.
 Question: I have worked as a chauffeur for a private family fol twenty years. I hear people talk ing about Social Security numbers and collecting a pension from tht government when they get old and retire. I have no Social Security number. Can I collect this pension from the government if keep my job as a chauffeur until I retire2
 Answer: A chauffeur for a pri- vate family is considered domestic service, which is specifically ex. cluded from the old-age and sur. vivcrs' insurance provisions of the Social Security Act. People who are employed in jobs covered bJ this law are required to have a So. cial Security number. Benefits are payable to retired workers and tc the survivors of deceased worker: provided these workers have beer employed in jobs covered by the old-age and survivors insurance program. Since domestic service ir a private home is not one of the jobs covered by this program you would not be eligible to receive ben. efits if you continue your employ ment as a chauffeur for a private family.
 The Social Security Board recog- nizes that domestic servants need the protection of old-age and sur vivors' insurance. Therefore, 1t has

Church Pension Fund
 Assets $37,629,4 ,423
Represents $l,35S,l26 Increase During Past Year;
 Maintained to Give Help to Retired CIergymen

| sary to re-value the reserve liabili- ties on the basis of lower interest assumption. The fund is at present on a 3 Ia per cent reserve basis.
 The expenses of administration were reduced slightly during the year i043. They represent only 2.3 per cent of the total receipts and disbursements. If related to the to. tai assets, the expenses of admin istration amount to only third of one per cent.
 The fund is supported by pension assessments payable by every parish, mission and other ecclesiastical or- ganization of the Protestant Epis. copal Church, each such pension as- sessment bel gnfived arDOJvorta sessment being fixed as the equi- valent of 2 1-2 per cent of each clergyman's salary. The total re- ceipts from pension assessments in 1043 are reported as $1 ,152, ,263 com- pared to $l,0s3, ,981 in the previous year. The report states that the unpaid pension assessments for the entire history of the fund since March 1, 1917, amount to less than one-third of one per cent of the total payable during that period.
 The Church Pension Fund has three wholly-owned subsidiaries. These are the Church Hymnal Corporation, which publishes hym- las and prayer books for the church, Church Life Insurance Corporation, which offers insurance and annuity facilities at low rates to the clergy and active lay workers of the church and the Church Properties Fire In- surance Corporation, which fn- sures property belonging to or close ly affiliated with the church. It is stated in the report that Q con- solidated balance sheet of the Church Pension Fund and it's Affi- Hates would show total assets of $44.317,164.
 Ire report concludes with the following words, After more than a quarter century during which this country has been through almost every conceivable experience rang ing from war to peace to a still more devastating war, from pros- perity to the depths of depression and part way back again, with the pendulm swinging back and forth from extreme to extreme, this ven- ture upon which the church erI1- parked, under Bishop Lawrence's courageous leadership has success fully maintained a steady course, fulfilling its obligations with un. failing regularity and, in fact. far exceeding the hopes of its founders. The Church Pension Fund is in a strong and sound condition to face the uncertainties of the future"
