comes from the old-age and sur
vivors insurance trust fund, which
is built up from social security
taxes paid by employees, employ
ers, and self-employed people COW
cred by the law. This fund is kept
separate from all other Treasury
receipts and can be used only to
pay social security benefits and the
costs of administration of the pro-
gram.
During 1866 the Trust Fund re-
ceived 500 billion, of which $685.
100000 was interest on that part
of the fund which is not needed
for current benefits and is not
needed for current benefits and is
invested in Government securities.
Benefit payments for the 12-
month period ending December
81, 1856, totaled $5.7 billion, or
about Sc cents of each dollar re-
ceived during the year. Admins
trative expenses for the same per-
iod were $133,0O0,OO0 or approx
mately 2 cents of each dollar re-
ceived. $SO0,O0O.OOO, or about IL
cents of each dollar received in
1866, went into the Trust Fund to
be held for future benefit pay
ments.
The total assets of the Trust
Fund as of December 81, 1856,
were $22.5 billion.
Beginning January / the social
security tax which workers pay,
and which is matched by their en-
ployers, is raised from 2 percent to
2A percent. The social security
tax paid by self-employed people
on their earnings in 1857 will be
increased from 8 percent to 1873
percent. The additional tax will be
used to finance the new disability
Insurance program, which pro-
vides monthly social security pay
ments to qualified disabled work
ers between the ages of so and 65.
The first of two types of bene-
fits based on disability which were
provided by the 1856 amendments
will become payable in January.
These are payments to the disabled
sons or daughters of workers who
are now receiving old-age insur-
ance benefits, and to the disabled
children of workers who died after
1889 and were insured for surviv-
ors insurance benefits at death. The
disabled child may receive benefits
regardless of his age if he is I'M
married and has been totally dis
abled since before his 18th birth
day. The mother also receives bene-
fits if the son or daughter is in
her care. Payments to a disabled
child can continue throughout his
life.
The second type of monthly dis
ability benefit provided by the 1856
amendments will become payable
for July 1857. These payments
will go to people so to 65 years
of age who are So severely dis
abled that they are unable to
work, and who have worked under
the law for 5 out of 10 years before
they were disabled and also for
liz out of the 3 years before they
became disabled.
AS 1856 drew to a close, Mr..
Motley pointed out that disabled
people, regardless of age, should
not wait too long to find out about
the disability provisions of the
law. Those who are 80 or over
should ask about disability bene-
fits, and those not yet 80 should
inquire about having their social
security earnings record "frozen"
to protect future benefit rights.
Disabled people who wait until aft
er June 80, 1857, to apply for dis
ability insurance benefits or to
have their earnings records frog
en-" may lose their rights to bene-
fits.
