RETIRED CAN EARN
MORE UNDER AMENDED
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT

The new Social Security Act makes
a change in the amount of earnings
which person may have and still re-
ceive his monthly payments. This
change is effective January 1, 1866.
Until December 81, 1854, the old
law is in effect-that is, social Sc
curity checks are not payable if the
person earns more than $75 in any
month of work covered under the
Act or if he has self-employment
earnings of more than 5000 in year
and is rendering substantial services
in his trade or business.
Stewart J. Thomas, manager of
the Helena Social Security office, an
nounces that beginning January 1,
1855, person can earn as much as
$1,000 in the year and still get bene-
fit checks each month of the year.
If he earns more than $1,000 in the
year from any type of work, whether
or not covered by Social Security,
one benefit check is not payable for
each $50 of earnings over $1,000.
However, he does not lose a benefit
for any month in which he neither
earns more than $50 in wages nor
renders substantial services in self
employment.
Effective January 1, 1855, per-
son who is IL years of age may
accept the benefit checks regard
less of the amount of earnings.

The 84th Congress

the government remains the same.
Some of its policies are contrary to
the best interests of the farm people
in many areas. For instance power
marketing policies as carried out by
the Department of the Interior are
denying farmers the low-cost Federal
power from the dams in some states
even though the law says they are
entitled to it. This is true, for in
stance, in North Carolina and Georgia.
In Missouri and other states In
terlor's new marketing policies have
been so carried out as to cripple or
threaten the rural identification pro-
gram. All of this means less power
for the farmers at higher cost.
Third, the Bureau of the Budget
can still use still other executive
agencies to strike at the rural power
program. A perfect example of this
sort of action is the notorious Dixon
Yates contract Bureau of the Budget
officials have used the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission to force this pro-
posed higher priced power on IVA.
And it has done so without the full
Congress being able to say yea or nay.
Then, too, foes of the rural power
program will still be at work in Con-
gress itself. By and large, there will
be little change in the membership of
the committees. The same number
members who have supported or OPP
posed the rural power program for
years on the important committees
will still be there, generally speaking.
This means our friends on these COM
mittees will need your valuable sup
port. They will need your support
when these vital measures come to
the floor of the House of Representa-
tives and Senate, the final forums
in the legislative process.
IF you believe your Senators and
Congressman should give full sup
port to the rural identification
program and full support for what
ever it takes to provide the rural
electric systems with low-cost
wholesale power, then tell them
so when you see them. Or if you
don't see them soon, write to them
and tell them. They'll appreciate
it and you'll be doing the program
a favor.

Executive Manager, National Rural
Electric Coop Association


Electric Coop Association
An election has come on gone. All
over this country our folks turned out
to chalk up a record vote for an off
presidential election year. If the cleo
ton proves anything, think it proves
that the members of the rural electric
systems are very much aware of how
important Congress is when it comes
to the rural power program.
There will be new faces and new
names in the new Congress. The con-
troll of both the House and Senate
will be with the Democrats by very
narrow margin. This means that the
important committee chairmanships
will switch. 1t also means that bare
majority of each committee will be
Democrats, whereas at present there
is a bare Republican majority on each
committee. But there is one thing we
must keep in mind-a switch of Con-
gress and the all-powerful committees
hOCo IlOb necessarily lnCoU a oW1bClt III
the legislative end Of the rural cleo
trification program on Capitol Hill.
Now, don't take me wrong on that
statement. Also, don't get the idea
that there has not been some improve
ment-because there has. Many rural
people worked hard and helped to
make some Congressional changes in
both the primaries and the general
election that will prove mighty i'm
portant in the 84th Congress. But the
idea | am trying to express is that,
with these changes, you simply cannot
afford to become complacent. You
cannot afford to sit back and say all
will be we'll with the rural power pro-
gram.
First, the Bureau of the Budget |
will still have large amount of con-
troll over purse strings. Since the
Bureau of the Budget initiates re-
quests to Congress for rural electric
loan funds and to start or carry on
Federal hydroelectric projects such |
funds may continue to be hard to get. !
For two years the Bureau of the |
Budgets request has been far short
of the need for rural electric loan
funds and practically non-existent as
to new hydro-electric developments.
Farmers are using power so fast and
farm establishments are
still being connected so fast that
the program requires lot more pow
er each month than it did the month
before The rural electric systems
have to purchase this power some
where. Very few of them are able
to generate their own. They are hav-
ing trouble getting it and even when
they get it, they have to keep building
their lines bigger in order to get the
power out to consumer members and
this requires more and more REA
oan funds to be approved each year
by Congress.

LEGISLATORS have A PERSONAL STAKE In AMENDED
PROGRAM FOR SOCIAL SECURITY
By T. R. sCHOENBORN, Helena


Under the Social Security Act, the Federal
government and the states are working to-
gether to aid three groups who are in need
These are CD old people who lack means of
support (2) blind people who need assistance,
and (3) children who are dependent because
the family has no breadwinner.
A 1854 amendment to the Social Security
Act permits many employees of state and local
governments to participate who are not pro-
tected by retirement system established by
the state, or political subdivision of the state
The new 1854 amendment will also make
old age and survival insurance available to
most employees who are covered by an exist
ing state or local retirement plan. Under the
1854 amendment the states may now obtain
coverage under voluntary arrangement be-
tween the state and federal governments.
However, before employees in position
under state and local retirement systems can
be included, majority of the eligible en-
plOyes must vote in favor of having old age
and survivors insurance cOverage in a special
referendum by employees on the question. Ar
rangement for this referendum will be made
by the state. The state determines the date
upon which the employees social security shall
start Agreements signed and passed by the
legislature in 1866 can specify that insurance
shall become operative on Jan. I, 1855 or any
time thereafter.
Certainly it is the duty of the legislature
to give state elective officers and other
personnel the same privileges and benefits
of Old Age and Employment Insurance (if
they SO elect) that millions of other en-
ployes in the United States are now enjoy
ing (Forty-two states already extend this
privilege to state, county and other public
employes.)
Here are some examples of the kinds and
amounts of these monthly payments, and
quarters required for full coverage, and quart
ers of coverage needed.
BENEFITS PAYABLE TO THOSE QUALIFYING
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-12-17

Under the state retirement system en-,
ployes must have at least ten years public
employment in order to be eligible for re-
tirement income. Under the Social Security
Act, as amended covered employees be-
come eligible for benefits after minimum
of Is months under social security Ode
pending on age).
