Social Security
Extension Bill

FRASER, Colo. H - President

nesday legislation expanding social
security coverage to 10 million adj
ditional Americans and liberali1ing
other benefits.
He hailed the measure as ''one
of the cornerstones to build a bet
ter and stronger America" and out
lined four important provisions:
l. 1t raises payments to all re-
tired workers by at least s. q
month. 1t raises the ceiling Of pay.
ments by $3.50 a month for re.
tired workers and by $s1.25 q
month for families.
2. It eliminates the four or Ave
lowest years of earnings from the
computation Of checks for workers
who retire in the future. "This pro.
vision is Of great importance to
many people whose years Of un-
usually low earnings would
sharply reduce their benefits" the
President said.
3. Retired workers may earn up
to 81 200 4 year without FORGETTING
checks, thus raising the ceiling on
retired earnings. The annual o..
emption applies equally to wage
Farmers and self employed
workers.
4. The act preserves the benefits

gram who became totally disabled
