and Will BRING the total TO 2t2
cents on the dollar. Employees
drawing S100 a week will pay
1925 for the pensions they get
when they reach 65.
Since wages are taxable when
paid, many employees will pay
taxes on wages for Monday, the
last day of 1856. Pay is taxable
on the first $4,000 of annual
income.
Robert Youmans, district di-
rector for Social Security ad-
ministration in southeastern Ohio
said the increased tax cut was
put into effect largely to take
care of the new disability bene-
fits going into effect in July.
Then totally disabled workers
in Noble county, at least so
years old will be able to collect
$l03.50 a month, the maximum
allowed for any single worker.
However, worker must be
totally and permanently disabled
six months before he collects.
The $108.50 is the maximum
aid to any worker who retires
at the age of IS but to get that
much, his average monthly earn
ings must total at least $3.50.
When the average pay falls
under $3.50, the pension is less.
For example, a worker whose
average earnings were $500
would get $98.5O and the pen
sion drops $40 for every $50
drop in earnings.
A wife can get half her hus-
bands pension when he retires
providing she has reached the
age limit and a family with
dependent children. However,
the disabled worker gets nothing
for his wife until she reaches
the age of IS.
Youmans said that in the 10
counties of southeastern Ohio,
social security payments total
81 100000 going to some 10000
retired workers each month.
When the first social security
payments were started in Jan
l940,s they amounted to about
$40 per month.
Social security representatives
are in Caldwell on the last Friday
of every month.
