men BY SOCIAL SECURITY Law

Under the 1850 amendments of
the Social Security Act, social
security wage credits will be CIV
en- for active service in the arm
ed forces of the United States
during World War IT.
These wage credits may be
used in determining the amount
of insurance payments IL to the
veteran and his family when he
retires, ~ to the family of a
service man or woman now de-
ceased and (3) to the family of
a veteran if he should die.
This applies to all World War
II servicemen who had so days
or more Of active military or ma
val service between September
Is, 1910 and July "a, 1947 and
whose discharge or release from
service was not dishonorable. go
days of service are not required
if discharged was due to injury
or disability in service, or If
death occurred in service.)
It does NOT apply if the vet
Grams military or naval service
in World War III leads to other
Federal retirement benefits. How
ever, the wage credits are not af-
fected by any compensation or
pension that Is paid by the Vet
Grams Administration.
If this applies to you as a vet
eran of World War II you will
be given wage credit of $3.50
for each month of active service.
If this applies to you as sur
viving dependent of a World War
II service man, whether he died
in service or after discharge, -
These wage credits of $3.50 for
each month of his service may be
used to determine your payments
under old-age and survivors in
surance. Payments to those eligi-
bic. under this new law were to
begin in September 1850.
(When veteran dies within
three years after his discharge.
his family is already protected
by an earlier provision of the So
cial security law. In these cases,
the $3.50 per month wage credits
for service in World War II
viii be used only if they will give
higher payments to the family
than the older law
If vau are World War III vet
Gran these wage credits for active
service may enable you to regain
socoal security rights built up be-
fore, the war, established the9e
rights more quickly If you never
worked in jobs covered by So
cial security payments to your
family if you should die.
No social security payments
can be made until an application
has been filed. There are two
times for such action, III when
you are 65 you should call at the
social security office and ask
about benefits, ~ In case of
your death, your family should
tell the social security office and
ask about benefits.

approved soil-building and soil and
waterconserving practices needed
to protect national agricultural re-
sources. Program assistance varies

the other half of the cost and in
addition supplies the labor and
machinery needed for some prac-
tees.
