Urge Disabled
To Check With
Social Security

Totally disabled workers in this
area who have worked at least
five years under social security
should contact their district office
before July1st. This important an
nouncement was made today by
A. W. Boehringer, manager of the
east side office located at 10002
Euclid ave. Many completely dis
abled persons who are unable to
work have so far failed to look
into their rights under the new pro-
visions Of the Social Security Act.
The recent changes in the law
provide for cash monthly benefits
to totally disabled individuals, age
so or older, who cannot work. Dis
abled workers under so can protect
their own and their families rights
to eventual benefits, as well as
assuring higher monthly benefit
rate, by applying to "freeze" their
earnings records.
To qualify for cash disability
benefits or for the freeze" these
requirements must be met: % The
person must have worked five out
Of the ten and 112 out of the three
years Immediately before the start
of the disability. (2) The disability
must be so severe as to prevent
any substantial, gainful work, and
must be proved by medical evil
dence. (3) 1t must have lasted for
at least six months and be ex-
pected to continue indefinitely. "a
An application must be filed to
establish the period of disability.
Mr.. Boehringer went on to say
that January 1st, 1857, is a most
important date. A disability appli-
cation filed before this date will
permit the Social Security Admin
istration to go back to the first day
the disability began in figuring
the monthly rate. This means that
payments will be based on actual
years Of employment, and that the
period of disability will not be
counted against the worker Since
the amount of the monthly pay
ment is ordinarily based on the
average monthly wage over the
persons working lifetime, up to
age So or death, excluding the
disability period will make a big
difference. In some cases, it will
be possible to go back to 1912 to
exclude a disability period.
Where the longtime disabled
person fails to file application be-
fore July 1st of this year, then
the disability period can be set up
as existing for only one year from
the application date. This would
mean that some months in which
the worker had no earnings would
be used in figuring the benefit
rate.
Because of the particular work
requirements, as given above, Mr..
Boehringer stated that there might
be cases where the person may
completely forfeit his rights to
benefits by failure to file at the
right time. In other instances,
there could be a difference of as
much as $3.50 in the monthly
check.
In concluding, Mr.. Boehringer
urges all workers who have been
disabled and unemployed for more
than six months to get in touch
with his office Immediately. For
the reasons noted, in no case
should anyone wait until the July
1st deadline. If the person is unable
to come in personally, some mem
ber of the family, a relative, or
friend should call on the disabled
persons behalf.

Flu Vaccine
No Longer Limited
In Availability

Influenza vaccine is no longer
limited by specific ALLEGATIONS to
states and territories because
enough is now being manufacture
ed to supply demands, according
to word received this week from
the II. S. Public Health Service
by DR.. Charles r. Hayman, act
ing commissioner of health. He
said that previously manufacture
srs were packaging and shipping
the Asian influenza vaccine al
most as fast as it was tested and
released by the UP.H.S., and
that each state was allocated a
percentage that correspondent to
its percentage Of the national
population.
Though the peak of the in
fluenza epidemic may appear to
have passed in many Alaska COM
munities, cases of this highly in
fictitious disease continue to de-
1elop throughout the nation and
it is recommended that residents
who have not been vaccinated do
so as soon as possible" DR.. Hay
man said.
Two weeks are required to es-
tablish immunity after vaccina-
ton, he said, and protection Of
the vaccine is believed to last
about year.
History Of past epidemics Of
influenza shows a tendency for
other waves of the disease to fol-
low the first outbreaks" he said,
land sometimes the later waves
have been of a more severe type
Of illness. Now if Alaska physi-
clans and pharmacies obtain all
the vaccine they need it be-
hooves residents to avail them
selves Of the protection the vac
cination affords against influ-
enza."
