SIX YOUR BENEFITS UNDER SOCIAL SECURITY By VICTOR MANGET Two plans to protect old peo ple from want are included in the Social Security Act. These are Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Old-Age Assistance. Each of these plans serves a special pose. They differ from each other in the way they operate and in the way they provide protection. Old-Age and Survivors Insur ance is for wage earners. This in surance helps workers to provide an income for themselves their families when death or old age cuts off wages. It is a Fed eral plan and its provisions are the same in all parts of the coun try. Old-Age Assistance is for peo ple after they are old and in need. Through it, each State, with Fed eral help, provides for its own needy aged. Though these work differently, they are alike in one important point—both pro vide a cash income. This income is modest, but it enables many old people to live in their own homes. The Social Security Adminis tration is the Federal Agency in charge of the Old-Age ana Sur vivors Insurance system, For each insured worker, the Admin istration keeps a separate wage SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE »7I S _ 1 E E , S IK » ~/A m S r /> r f?* S A £ SA*% ' 3. , 3 <-7 e 4 .

This record is necessary to determine what benefits may be due a worker or his family. To pay for this insurance, the Social Security Act levies a tax on wage earners and their em ployers. To learn more about this plan, you should write to the Social Security Field Office, Al bany, Georgia. . All the States provide Old-Age ! Assistance for their needy old people. The State—not the Fed eral Government—decides who shall get aid and hcrw much shall be paid to each person. The Fed eral Government shares the cost j as long as the State plans follow the general pattern outlined in the Social Security Act. Anyone wishing to inquire about Old-Age Assistance, should go to the near est local public welfare office or write the State Public Welfare Agency, Atlanta, Georgia. The objective of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program is to pay benefits on the basis of the worker’s average monthly wage when he is 65 or to his fami ly if he should die before 65. Therefore, the Social Security Ad ! ministration must have a record of the pay each worker receives. This record is kept in the form of a separate Social Security Ac count for each worker. To have a Social Security Account, the worker must have an account number card. The name, together with the number counfso C d wages'reporti tha t for properly posted , to . his . him can be credit. If you are employed in a factory, office, store, bank, garage, hotel, cafe, boarding house, parlor, or the like, you should have an account number card. It is necessary whether you work full time, or part time, or what ever your age. You can go to the office of | the Social Security Administra Albany, Georgia, and make : Y° ur application, or you can get ! the application blank from your local Post Office, fill it out, and i mail it to the field office. Show your card to your em : plcuyer and make sure he takes down your name and Social Se I curity Account Number exactly j as they are shown on the card. | This is necessary for reports he ! must make to the Government, showing the wages he has paid | to you. Take care of your card. ' It is like an insurance policy. It | shows you have an insurance ac count with the Government, un der the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system. This account is a record of the pay you which counts toward your benefits. The size of the benefit will depend upon the amount of wages credited to your account.
