almost four and half million
retired workers receiving old
age benefits at the end of 1855
and an additional three and a
half million dependent and sur
vivors beneficiaries-wives, hus-
bands, children, mothers, aged
widows, Widowers and parents.
In Noble county, retired work
ers were receiving 4,248
monthly in social security pay
ments as 1855 came to close,
Mr.. Youmans said. Dependents
of old-age beneficiaries or sur
vivors of workers who had died
were getting $7,09l a month in
Noble county at the end Of the
year. These amounts represent
increases of IL and IL percent,
respectively.
Pointing out the significance
of old-age and survivors insur-
ance under social security as a
floor of financial protection for
the aged, Mr.. Youmans said that
in the nation as a whole today,
over half of the non-Working
aged people are eligible for
monthly benefits under the social
security program and that in the
years ahead the proportion will
steadily increase. This, he said,
will result primarily from the
extension of coverage under the
1854 amendments to approx
mately 10 million more working
people-including most of the
nations farm population.
Children made up a large
group of beneficiaries in Noble
county in 1855; &c Of them were
receiving monthly benefits total
ing $2,257 at the end of the year.
Most of them were survivors Of
an insured father or mother who
had died, but some were the
minor children of retired work
ers receiving old-age benefits.
If the child of retired or de-
ceased person IS entltleo 10
monthly payments, the child's
mother may also be ehtltleo 10
benefits, regardless of her age.
