Social Security Dollars to Alaskans Jump 20 Per Cent

The total amount of social se'
 curitv dollars going into the Alas
 kan economy each month has
 i,mped more than 20 per cent | in the past two years, according to figures released recently by Lee Christensen. district manager of the Social Security Office in Ju-
 neau. As of the beginning of l963, social security checks totallng
 sa34 693 arrive in Alaska each
 month for more than 7,10O persons.
 A year ago 6,880 persons were
 receiving monthly checks totallng
 SAFETY: and at the close of 1860 there were 5,942 beneficiaries In Alaska received a total of S349,4 444.
 The rise in the number of Alas kans receiving social security checks involved all three categories of social security benefits - old age retirement, total disability and family survivor payments.
 In the Nome-Seward Peninsula area currently there are checks totaling S14,259 going out to 3o2 people each month. This compares with 343 beneficiaries year ago.
 Of those receiving monthly bene- fits here, a partial breakdown shows that checks are going to l82 children, and another Is to special category of older persons who were totally disabled while still in their childhood. There are l4 widows receiving benefits and four disabled workers. The largest category is the group )f 82 retired workers whose cheeks ,otal $5,750 each month. In this alter category there are also 20 wives, age 62 or older, who are 'eceiving retirement benefits along with their husbands.
 Christensen added that there are now more than IS million persons receiving monthly social security benefits throughout the United States. The amount of all these hecks totals almost quarter of a million dollars monthly.
 Christensen said many people in Alaska might be able to receive social security benefits if they knew more about the law, and for that reason they are urged to con- tact the social security representa- tive on his next trip to Nome if they have any questions concern ing their benefits or proper re- pOrting.
