CHANGES IN YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
By Stanley T. FauhI
Manager of the Lima Social Security Off

/ reaching age 62 and before age 65
to start getting payments, the less
the reduction in the amount of the
monthly benefit AS have said
above, however, once she starts get
ting monthly payments at reduced
rate, she cannot later qualify for the
full amount.
Let's take the example Of woman
who has been employed in work
covered by social scurity long enough
to become insured. Assume that her
full monthly benefit amount, based on
her average earnings in covered
work, is $500. If she waits until she
reaches age SIS to retire, she will get
that full amount every month from
then on. But she will reach 81 in
November 1856. If she decides to
retire then, she can get old-age pay
ments starting with November. The
amount she will receive will be 80
percent of the monthly amount she
would receive if she waited until she
reached 65. This will be $62. 40 month
ly instead of $500 per month. If she
waits until she is 63 to start getting
retirement payments, her benefit
amount will be $3.50 monthly. Every
year, and every month within a year
in which she puts off receiving retire
| ment benefits up to age 65, will
increase her benefit amount slightly.
| want to point out again, however,
that once she starts getting reduced
payments, she will not be able to
qualify later for the full payment.
The above example applies also to
the wife of retired insured worker
receiving benefits. In her case, how
ever, the amount of the monthly bene-
fit she would get, if she chose to claim
payments at age 81, would be Is per-
cent of what she would get if she wait
ed until she reached age 65. AS in the
case of the woman worker, the wife's

Today, I'm addressing my discus
sion of the new social security law
to women-to wives of retired insured
workers, to widows of deceased
insured workers, to women workers
who are in employment or self
employment that counts toward old
age and survivors insurance benefits,
and to those dependent mothers who
might become eligible for survivors
payments if an insured son or daugh-
ter should die.
Heretofore there has been uniform
age at which benefit payments could
start for all beneficiaries other than
children and wives or widows with
children in their care. That age was
65; it remains SIS for male beneficiar-
les. The 1856 amendments to the law,
however, lower the age at which
women can receive benefits. Begin
ming with November of this year
Q956) women can start getting pay
mentS at age 81.
Widows and lin case there is no
surviving child or spouse entitled to
benefit payments) dependent mothers,
may begin getting survivors benefit
payments when they reach age 81.
They will get the same monthly bene-
fit that they would have started to
get at age 65 under the old law.
Wives of retired insured workers
and retired insured working women
can, if they choose, start getting
benefit payments at age 62. However,
the monthly benefit amount payable
to them will be somewhat less than
the amounts of the benefits they
would have received had they waited
until age 65. In case a wife or an
insured working woman elects to
start getting benefits before age 65,
she will continue to receive a reduced
amount after she reaches that age.
The longer woman waits after

o. C.. Hursey Estate
InventOried At S51 ,039

An estate valued at $51 ,039 was
left by o. c. Hursey, Bluffton farm
implement dealer who died May II,
according to an inventory filed in
Allen County Probate Court this
week.
The inventory shows real estate
valued at S24,0O0, stocks and securi-
ties valued at $17,77879, accounts
and debts receivable, $6,945.35 and
personal goods and chattels valued at
S2,305.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-10-04

monthly payments will be a little
larger each month she defers claim
ing benefits after her 62nd birthday
and before she reaches 65. However,
if her retired insured husband should
die at any time after she has begun
to receive her reduced benefits she
will begin receiving full widows bene-
fits plus the lump-sum death pay
ment.
Now that the starting age of women
beneficiaries is 62 instead of 65, less
time in work covered by social
security may be required in some
cases for woman worker to become
insured. Generally, the required time
is one-half the time elapsing after
1850 up to the time she reaches age
62 instead of age 65, with minimum
of at least 11s years of covered
work. Under the amended law, per-
son who works continuously after 1855
can become insured with fewer
quarters of coverage.
l mentioned insured status for
women workers because it applies not
only to those now 62 or nearing that
age, but also to certain survivors
dependent children, widowers, or
parents) of some women workers
who reached age 65 or died after
June 80, 1854, without having enough
covered work to be insured under the
old law. If they had enough work to
be insured under the amended law,
they or their survivors may be able
to qualify for benefit payments.
Today, I've explained how age 62
applies to women under the new
social security law. In my next article
I'll tell of the significance of age so
to disabled workers formerly in en-
ployment or self-employment that
counts toward old-age and survivors
insurance benefits.

Man in Shooting Denies
Trying to Kill Wife

Price told police his wife
wasn't home. A 4-month-old
child was asleep in a crib in the
third-fioor apartment and the
older child was in the care of
a baby-sitter on the first floor.
Talked to Wife on Phone
Shortly after midnight, Price
said, his wife called the baby
sitter. He said he talked with
Mrs. Price and she told him she
was out with a friend named
Jack and didn't know when she
would be home.
Price, in his statement, said he
got a revolver. loaded it and sat
down on the front steps Of the
house to wait for his wife. About
2:30. he said, Mrs. Price and her
friend drove up but didn't
notice him.
He started walking toward the
car, he said. When the couple
saw him and started to drive
away, the statement said, II
then fired and intended at that
time to kill them"
Both Mrs. Price and her COM
panion. John v. o. Dufheld, were
in police court for the hearing
but neither testified.
