Through our office we pay seven

"On the retirement side, monthly

"On the survivor side, we pay
monthly benefits to widows of in

amounting to six times her hus-

when she is IS, she is eligible for
monthly widows benefits. Or, a
young worker dies and leaves
widow who has no children but
later a posthumous child is born.
When the claim is filed we pay
the widow a lump sum, and then
when the baby is born both she
and the baby are eligible for the
monthly benefits until the child is
18. But these payments are not au-
