Learn Benefits OF
The Social Security
Laws, Insurance

More than 1882 retired workers
in Kinds County were getting mon
thly social security insurance pay
ments totalling $163,829 at the end
of 1856. This compares with 2,445
old : age beneficiaries receiving
$134,965 monthly in the same
county year earlier, M. B. White,
Social Security Administration
District Manager in Jackson, de-
clared today.
At the end of 1866, monthly bene-
fit payments were going to 719
wives or aged dependent husbands
of old-age beneficiaries and to 498
aged widows or dependent aged
widowers and parents in Kinds
County. The 12-month increase in
aged beneficiaries is due partly to
the lowering from IS to 62 of the
age at which woman without an
entitled child in her care may quail
fly for benefits, White said.
The lowering of the retirement
age for women was one of the pro-
visions of the 1856 Amendments to
the Social Security Act and became
effective last November. 1t applies
to retired women workers, wives OF
old-age beneficiaries, and widows
or dependent mothers of deceased
insured workers. Many women who
would have had to wait up to three
years longer before starting to get
benefits under the old law became
entitled to benefits in the last two
months of 1866.
Noting that OASI coverage has
taken hold rapidly in recent years,
White pointed out that three-four-
tbs of the men becoming 65 this
year will be eligible for social
security benefits. Of all people
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1958-02-22

over 65 years of age, 62 percent
are now drawing benefits or will
be entitled to draw them when
their income from work stops.
In December 1856, 1,574 children
in Kinds County were being paid
a total of $49,953 monthly. These
were largely minor children of
deceased insured parent; a smaller
number were children under 10
whose insured father or mother
had retired.
All of these were unmarried chill
dren under 18. While child's bene-
fits ordinarily stop at age Is,
White called attention to a recent
change in the law which makes
payments possible for child over
10, based on the insured account
of a retired or deceased parent, if
the child became totally disabled
before reaching Is.
Payments will be made also to
the mother who has the disabled
child in her care. This provision
did not become effective until
January 1857; consequently, dis
abled child beneficiaries are not in
Guided in the total given above.
If the child of retired or de-
ceased person is entitled to mon
thly payments, Che child's mother
may also be entitled to benefits,
regardless of her age. In Kinds
County at the end of 1856, 335
widowed mothers who W ere caring
for child beneficiaries were receiv-
ing $13,633 per month.
Altogether in Kinds County, g.
058 people were receiving $271 1862
per month in social security bene-
fits as of the end of 1856. For
Mississippi, the total was 71,645
people receiving S2,821,176 per
month. For the year of 1856, the
total payments in Mississippi am
ounted to $33,029,000.
Commenting on the growth of
the social security insurance in the
20 years of its operation, White
recalled that the original law COW
