Veterans Compensation
Increases Announced
On or about October 31 some. 57,-
000 disabled veterans in Georgia will
start receiving checks for increased
compensation A, W. Tate, Manager,
Veterans Administration Regional Of
fice. Atlanta, Georgia, said today.
Under terms of the new law signed
by the President September 7, pro
vision is made in the October payment
for the amounts of the special in
crease covering the three months pre
ceding October, This applies to the
October checks only for those on the
compensation rolls on October 1,
Mr. Tate stressed there is no need
for veterans to contact the Veterans
Administration. The compensation
checks are processed automatically
with electronic data processing equip
ment so that the checks received by
veterans with service-connected ds
abilities about October 31 will contain
the first of the increases.
Designed to reflect changes in the
cost of living since 1957, when the
last compensation increase for vet
erans disabled in service went into
effect, the average payment will be
9.4 percent more than the current rate.
Compensation for peacetime service
connected disabilities is paid at ap
proximately 80 percent of that for
wartime service-connected disabili
ties.
The increases are on a sliding scale
s 0 that the more seriously injured
veterans are to receive the higher
benefits. The increase for a veteran
who is 10 percent disabled goes from
sl9 to S2O a*month and the payment of
a 100 percent disabled veteran is up
ped from $225 to $250 a month.
In addition to payments based upon
percentage of disability, additional
“statutory” payments are made for
specified disabilities or combinations
of disabilities such as blindness, deaf
nes, and loss of limbs.
The maximum amount that may be
received by a wartime veterans who
has no dependents, and who is so ser
iously disabled that he is required aid
and attendance, has been increased
under the new law from S6OO to $725
monthly.

“In each session of Congress in
which I have been privileged to serve,
I have introduced and sought enact
ment of legislation to restore the fed
eral judiciary to its appointed consti
tutional role and to re-establish state
and local control over public educa
tion. Unfortunately, the Congress has
not seen fit to' enact my proposals.
“As the result of judicial usurpa
tions. bolstered by application of the
superior power of the federal govern
ment, we have seen the wishes of lo
cal majorities struck down on several
occasions.
“Such actions are detrimental to the
processes of constitutional government
and serve to divide the American peo
ple at a time when unity in the con
tinuing struggle against the aggres
sions and subversions of international
Communism is essential.”

S S Questions
Are Answered By
District Manager
One of the most frequently asked
questions at the Albany Social Secur
ity Office is how much can a person
earn and still receive retirement bene
fits.
Mr. Kirksey, Social Security District
Manager, reported that the question is
asked several times a day. Although
most workers know that their social
security benefits will be affected if
they earn less than SI2OO a year. Many
do no know that they may be eligible
to receive some benefits even when
their earning exceed that amount..
The 1961 Amendments to the law en
courage people over 65 to supplement
their social scurity benefits by work
ing.
Mr. Kirksey said that if you earn
over SI2OO, $1 of your benefits (or
your total family benefits) is with
held for each $2 of your earning above
SI2OO and up to SI7OO. For every $1
earned above SI7OO, $1 of benefits is
is withheld.
In a recent case, a 68-year-old lady,
who had bee nearning $l2O a month,
filed a claim for social security bene
fits. Her monthly benefit rate was $67
per month, and she had no dependents
who were entitled to additional bene
{its based on her earnings. She is still
working and expects to earn only $240
over the SI2OO figure, only $l2O will
be deducted from her benefits, and
she will receive $684 from social se
curity in 1963
Mr. Kirksey cited another case in
which a man and his wife were eli
git'e ‘or sccial sccurily bene its of
sls. a month or $1836 per year. The
ma earned $2900 in 1961, so $250 of
his bene'its was withheld for 'he irst
SI7OO earned and SI2OO for th~ balance
of the $2900 earned. He and his wife
still received $386 in social security
benefits for 1961.
Each case is different. The wise
thing for the worker over 65 to do is
to check with his Social Security Of
fice and climina.e any possibility of
losing benefits.
