Of $85 has been increased to
$3.50. Dependents and survivors
now getting monthly benefits will
get proportionate increases, wit h
every family unit assured an in
crease of at least IS. The maximum
family payment has been raised
from $158.75 to 5000.
Persons now receiving monthly
payments do not have to take any
action to get these increases, MI.
White declared. They will be made
automatically, and do not have to
be applied for, he said.
The amended law also provides in
creases for persons who become
eligible for benefit payments in
the future. Beginning with 1866,
the amount of covered earnings
which may count toward social
security will be raised from $4,000
to $4,000 in a year. This provision
will make it possible to maintain
a closer relationship between the
workers earnings and the benefits
he and his family will eventually
receive.
Another provision in the new
law permits a worker to drop out
up to five years of lowest Cor no)
earnings in the figuring of his
average monthly wage on which
benefit payments will be based.
This so-called drop out" applies
to all workers becoming eligible
for benefit payments after August
of this year. Some persons now
on the benefit rolls may qualify
for the drop-out if they have now,
or if they acquire at any time,
l 1I2 years of covered work after
June 1853, or meet certain other
specified requirements for refig-
uring of their benefit amount.
The amended law, moreover, pro-
vides a new formula for figuring
the workers insurance payment.
1t increases the percent of his av-
erage monthly wage which will be
payable in benefits. Typical re-
tirement and survivors payments
for persons qualifying after August
1854 are shown on the accompany
ing table,
The new law increases the
amount of covered earnings a
beneficiary is entitled to have and
still receive his monthly benefit
check. The provision in the old
law which restricted such earn
ings to $75 a month in covered
employment and to 5000 year
from self-employment has been
changed. Discrimination against
the wage Garner as compared to
the self-employed has been re-
moved and all retired persons will
have the earnings exemption on
an annual basis. All beneficiaries
under II years of age may now
have earnings up to $1,000 in a
year without loss Of any benefits.
This applies to all earnings of any
kind, whether covered by social
security or not. Only one months
benefit will be deducted for each
additional $50 earned. Benefits are
payable regardless of annual earn
ings for any month in which the
beneficiary neither has wages of
over $50 nor engaged in substan-
tial acknowledgment. After reach

ing age 72, the beneficiary may
earn any amount and still receive
benefits.
The amended act also provides
for the preservation of the benefit
rights of the totally disabled. Un-
der this provision workers earn
ings record can be frozen" and
he will not suffer-a reduction in or
loss of his benefit rights because
of an extended period of no earn
ings due to total and prolonged
disability. To be eligible for "dis-
ability freeze" worker must have
acquired at least five years of COW
cred work out of the last ten years
before the disability began, of
which at least l 1I2 years must
have been in the Swear period be-
fore his disability forced him to
give up gainful work. The dis
ability must be medically determ-
ined by State vocational rehabili-
tation agencies or other appro-
pirate State agencies. No appli-
cation for the disability freeze"
may be accepted by the Social Sc
curity Administration before JAM
uary /, 1866. Mr.. White emphasized
that this provision will not pay
cash benefits during disability, be-
fore the worker attains age IS.
While a period of disability ends
for social security purposes at age
IS, Mr.. White pointed out that
persons already over that age
and now getting benefit payments
may have their benefits refigured
to exclude periods of disability in
the past, if they meet the require
ments given above. Increases in
benefits under the disability pro-
vision become effective after June
1866.
In conclusion, Mr.. White called
attention to a provision in the
amended law which affects survi-
vors of workers who died before
September l, 1850, without having
acquired enough covered employ
ment to become insured under the
old law. eff you are the surviving
aged widow, widowed mother with
minor children, or aged parent of
worker who died before Sep
TENDER 1, 1850, and you were not
eligible for survivors benefits be-
FORE" Mr.. White said, "the new
law may make it possible for you
to get payments. If the deceased
breadwinner in your family had
at least l 1/G years of covered
work between January 1889 and
September 1850, you should come
to the Jackson social security office
and inquire about your survivors
insurance benefit rights"
at is especially significant" Mr.

that of the 10 million more per-
sons eligible for the protection of
old-age and survivors insurance,
approximately 6 Ia million will
be brought into the system on
January /, 1866. Another 8 3i4
million may elect coverage under
special arrangements.
The largest group of gainfully-
employed people in the nation not
heretofore covered by social Sc
curity has now been brought in
the SO million self-employed farm
operators. Commencing January
l, 1866, these farm operators will
be covered on the same terms as
other self-employed people, except
for special provisions under GER
tain conditions for figuring the
amount of their net annual earn
ings.
Abolishing the old requirement
that farm workers be regularly en-
ployed by one employer means that
over two million additional farm
employees will have social secur-
ity protection for themselves and
their families. The new provision
simply requires that the farm hand
earn 800 cash wages in a calendar
year from one employer.

reelected to the highest and most
honorable position in the entire or

Chief Executive Smith seeks no
honor or praise for his brilliant
achievements during his Is years
of serving as international Chief
Grand Mentor. He is also Chief
Grand Mentor of Mississippi Jur-

other states of Tabor in the Inter-
