## WHAT THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT MEANS TO YOU.

It will provide a system of insurance benefits payable to you and your dependents.

It applies if you are a qualified worker and have been employed for the required length of time in employment covered by the act. Practically all employment, except certain agricultural labor, domestic service in private homes, services performed in the employ of foreign governments etc., are covered by the act.

## BENEFITS PAID UNDER THE ACT

1. Monthly Old Age retirement benefit.

2. Supplementary benefit paid under certain circumstances to wives and children of persons receiving monthly old age retirement benefits.

3. Survivor benefits paid to survivors of certain previously employed and deceased persons.

## TO RECEIVE MONTHLY OLD AGE BENEFITS YOU MUST BE:

1. 65 or over.

2. Fully insured.

(a.) By having worked in employment covered by the Act for at least 40 calendar quarters from 1936 in each of which you have earned at least $50.00.

(b.) By meeting certain requirements.

(1) Figure the number of calendar quarters between 1936 and when you reach 65.

(2) Figure the number of calendar quarters after 1936 in which you have worked and earned at least $50.00, whether these quarters occur before or after you reach 65.

(3) If the number of quarters in (2) is at least 6 and equals 1/2 of the number arrived at in figuring (1) you are fully insured.

(c) Have retired.

## METHOD OF FIGURING YOUR BENEFITS

The amount of your benefits is based on your average monthly wages and the number of years covered since 1936 in which you have earned at least $200.00.

To figure the amount of your benefit take 40% of the first $50.00 of your average monthly wage and add 10% of the amount by which the average wage exceeds $50.00 and does not exceed $250.00.

For example, if your average monthly wage is $100.00

Figure 40% of the $50.00 = $20.00

Plus 10% of the remaining $50 = 5.00

Total = $25.00

This amount is increased at the rate of 1% for each year of coverage.

If you have 5 years coverage that would be 5 x 1% of $25.00 or $1.25 added to $25.00 giving you a total benefit of $26.25 a month.

This may be changed by additional supplementary benefits provided in the law for wives, children, etc.

## YOUR PART OF THE TAX

The Taxes called for in this law will be paid both by your employer and by you.

That is to say from January 1, 1937 to 1942 you will pay 1c. for every $1.00 you earn and at the same time your employer will pay 1c. for every dollar you earn up to $3,000 a year.

Beginning in 1943 deductions for old age retirement benefits will be as follows:

1943, 1944, 1945—2%—1946, 1947, 1948—2¼%—1949 on—3%

Your employer will also pay an equal amount.

The two pages following are to help you keep an accurate record of your employers and also your earnings for the year, taxed for old age retirement benefit.
