YOUR SOCIAL
SECURITY
VETERANS BENEFITS

A search of vital statistics records
on civilian deaths of World War II
veterans in an effort to locate fam
lilies of veterans eligible for survivors
benefits is being conducted in Mon
tana by the Social Security Admins
tration through the cooperation of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, State Board
of Health.
Announcement came from Stewart
J. Thomas, manager of the Helena
office of the administration. Claims
for benefits must be filed by Febru-
airy 10, 1947, he said, for back pay
ments on deaths occurring before
August 10, 1916.
Mr.. Thomas urged all survivors of
veterans who died after military dis
charge to contact the nearest office
of the Social Security Administration
Immediately Montana offices are
located in Helena, Billings, Butte,
Great Falls, and Missoula.
Benefits resulting from deaths oc-
curing after August 10 are retroac-
tive for three months from the time
a claim is filed.
1t is not necessary for the veteran
ever to have worked in social security
employment for his family to receive
survivors benefits. 1t is necessary,
for the veteran to have died
after discharge from the service.
The state vital statistics office and
the Social Security Administration I'M
dertook the joint task of trying to To-
cate eligible survivors as a public
service to veterans families, Mr..
Thomas explained.

''The War Assets Administration

with veterans and small businessmen

will cover the entire state and will
seek to accomplish two things-first,
bring to the attention of the inter
ested purchasers just what is avail
able in surplus property inventories
now; and, second, get first-hand in
formation on just what surplus prop
erty items are most needed by our
veterans and small businessmen"
''These meetings started last week
in my home town of Butte, - the Mon
tana senator announced, land will
continue through the 9th, when the
final meeting will be held in Kali
spell"
Senator Murray expressed "keen ap-
probation for the excellent co-opera-
ton and prompt action shown by
Colonel Rutten and by ]. c. Holland,
Montana regional director, in under
taking this program which, I hope,
will result in expediting and expend-
ing sales to Montana's veterans and
small businessmen who, to date, have
experienced great difficulties and long
delays in getting their orders for sur
plus property filled"
