NEW BENEFIT FORMULA
FOR OARS INSURANCE

The new benefit formula that
is now used to figure social secu-
rity payments will mean higher
old-age and survivors insurance
benefits to many wage earners
who are now filing claims, Mar
shall Barney, manager of the
social security field office said
this week.
The social security amend
ments of 1850 provided tina t
wage earners who are now IS or
over, and who retire after they
have for at least year and a
half after 1850 in a job covered
by social security, can take adj
vantage of this new formula,
Barney pointed out. Benefits
are based on the average month
ly wage that the worker earned
during this time. The new for
mula provides for benefits of
$50 of the first 500 of the wage
earner's average monthly wage
and 1870 on that up to the max
imum of $500. A wage Garner
with a average monthly wage of
$3.50 after 1850 would be entitled
to $50 of the first 500, or $55,
and 1879 of the remaining $50,
or SO, making a total monthly
OF $64. His wife, if she is IS,
would also be entitled to one
half of this amount.
For more detailed information,
Barney said, inquiry should be
made at the nearest social secu-
rity field office.
The Rocky Mount field office
is located in the Post Office
Building. The telephone number
is 5812.
