EXPERIENCE
CLAIMS RUSH
Social Security Office Expert
encing Greatest Rush of
Business in 20 Years
NATIONWIDE TREND

The Wilmington social security
office is experiencing the greatest
rush of business in the twenty
years of it's existence. Since the
first of the year, the number of
people making claims for insur-
ance beneft payments has doub-
led over that of a year ago, dis
trict manager, Myron Milbouer,
said this week.
The increase in the number of
claimants here reflects a condi-
ton prevailing in most of the
556 social security offices through
out the country. In one January
week alone, total of 253 per-
sons in this area made claims
for old-age, survivors, or disabil-
ity insurance payments.
Milbouer said that his office is
doing everything possible to ex-
pedite the handling of people
making benefit claims. Since 1856
amendments to the Social Secur-
ity Act became law last August,
the Wilmington district office has
added five staff members to help
process the increased workload.
Due. 20 the increased number of
claimants, however, many may
have to wait longer for inter
views when they come to the Will
mington Office or one of the eight
contact stations maintained in
different parts of the state. Also,
he said, the large number of
claimants in the Office slow up
the processing of the claim pap
ers. A new beneficiary must some
times wait longer before he re-
ceives his first monthly insurance
check.
''If you have made a claim for
payments but have not yet receiv-
ed your first check, please be pa
tient.' Milbouer urges. He assures
those who have recently filed
claims that the delay will not re-
suit in any loss of benefits The
date an application is filed, not
the date of the final award. is
used in figuring the monthly ben
eft amount. Furthermore, he
pointed out, benefits can be paid
for a period of as much as a year
before the time a claim for bene-
fits is made when people are en-
titled to back payments. Benefit
checks FOR future months will not
be affected by the workload and
will reach beneficiaries on time.
While ordinarily a wage Garner
need not submit proof of past
earnings, in a claim for old-age
benefits; a self-employed person
will need to bring along copies of

ONCE. nai
Commenting on the unprece-
dented number of claims now on
hand, Milbouer stated that the
situation is temporary. 1t is due
largely to the recent changes in
the social security law.
In the area served by the Will
mington social security office a
major reason for the increase in
claimants is that many sslf-em-
ployed farmers are now qualified
for old-age benefits. Farm opera
tors were first brought under So
cial security at the beginning of
cial secuity at the BEGINNING of
1855. About 400 in this area who
have reached retirement age have

his income tax returns for 1906
and 1856. Moreover, in claims
filed by a widow, widower, child,
or surviving dependent parents,
certain proofs are usually requir-
ed. I'VE don't urge people to go
to any great trouble or expense
to obtain proofs, but the handling
of a claim can be speeded and
return visits to our Office avoided
if a marriage certificate. or a
birth or baptismal certificate is
brought aolng.' Milbouer declared.
In case of doubt, a telephone
call to the social security Office
may save time and delay in get
ting all necessary papers and in
arranging time to come to the

the month of July, 1857, many
disabled people are now filing
claims. other disabled people who
are still under age so are calling
to have their social security work
records frozen. This action will
protect them and their families
for future benefit payments even
though the disabled worker is not
yet eligible for monthly disability
payments for himself. AS many

in general, functiUning as a
combination commander and
business executive Of the high

Schumpert has fulfilled these
functions to a supe. iGtive degree.
Perhaps some idea of the cx-

derived from translation of the
tine she has donated into dol
lars and cents. Jackie has given
over 400 hours of her time to
official Gray Lady volunteer
service; in other words, in uni

the untold hours she has spent
additionally on the executive
and promotional .'nmification of
her job and putting an arbitrary,
and extremely conservative, val

cash value Of this service would
be $1,000.

50% of the deaths they have en-
'cC Gntered have resulted from
accidents which never should
have occurred.
The Rescue Squad Chief call

Mr.. Merrill said that in Hor-
ry County. as well as in the
state, the principal Cause of &C
cidental death in past years has
been the automobile; the second
has been falls, and the third,
drowning. In Myrtle Beach the
leading killer has been drown
ing.
In this latter connection Mr..
Merrill said that all the victims
of drowning have come from
inland points; no residents of
the coastal area of Horny have
been lost in this manner. It
would appear that the coastal
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1957-08-28

is alert TO the dang
ers inherent in recreational
bathing and Mr.. Merrill feels
that If the same aw arcness could
be developed in inland inhabit-
ants the problem would be well
on its way to solution. II is es-
Sential that this doctrine OF
danger" be brought not only to
the attention of people of tho
who come to the
beaches but also should be prea-
ched to those who remain at
home. A large number Of tho
drownings III the state have oc-
Cured in farm ponds.
The majority of drowning vic
Tins, whether in lie sea or in
land waters, are children and,
according to Mr.. Merrill, almost
all Of the tragedies are the TO
suit Of carelessness, if not neg
lect, on the part of parents.
Some drownings nave resulted
from heart attacks and others
from cramps. Perhaps these can
be classified as unavoidable.
Several Of the drownings at
Myrtle Beach, however, have
been attributable to drunken-
ness.
