Social Security Funds
Paid Here in 1852
Total SS.6 Million

Federal old-age and survivors
insurance payments totaled So
604,000 in the District during
l952-an increase over 1851 of
1857 per cent-according to a
report today.
Michael j. Shortley, regional
director for the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
reported that monthly payments
were going to 1880 persons at
the end of the year.
The rise in total payments
reflected increases in the rolls
of retired persons and their de-
pendents, as we'll as individual
payment amount increases, MI.
Shortley said.
Social Security Amendments.
The 1852 amendments to the
Social Security Law accounted
for much of the benefit rate in
crease.
There were 14,145 persons IS
years of age or older in the Dis
trict who were receiving benefits
at the end of 1852. This was
an increase of $500 over 1851.
About 4.745 children and wild
owed mothers here were receiving
benefits.
Payments to retired workers
in the District totaled $685. 900
in 1852, and payments to their
dependents were $648,000. Pay
ments to survivors of deceased in
sured workers amounted to ST.
100000 in monthly benefits and
$278,000 in lump sums.
The average amount of old-age
insurance payments to retired
workers living here was $48.50.
This compares with an average
of $49.25 for the Nation as a
whole.
Variations in Benefits.
Mr.. Shortley pointed out that
since the amount of old age and
survivors insurance payments
depends on an individuals aver
age earnings in covered employ
ment, there are variations in the
amount of benefits paid to differ
ent persons.
Nationally, 1877 per cent of re-
tired workers receiving payments
get the minimum retirement
benefit of $25 per month, and
22.3 per cent receive from $65 to
the maximum payment of $85.
In the District, 1872 per cent re-
ceive the minimum amount of
$25 monthly and 20 per cent re-
Ceive from $65 to $85.
Money to pay the benefits
comes from the Social Security
tax on earnings up to $500 a
year. Employees and employers
each pay 112 per cent. and self
employed persons pay "a per
cent. These rates are scheduled
to increase to 2 per cent each
for employe and employer, and 3
per cent for self-employed per-
sons on January l, 1854.
