may qualify for either the Georgia

More Women
&
Collecting SS
Than Men
“]f you are a woman, your
chances of collecting social sec=
urity benefits are better than
those of your husband or your
brother,’” reports Neil W, Quar
les, field representative for soc
ial security in Decatur,
¢Fifty-one percent of our be=-
neficiaries are adult women,”’
said Quarles, ‘‘while only 34 per
cent are adult men,” Inaddition,
he noted, it is women who man
age most of the benefits paid
to the 15 percent of social secur=
ity beneficiaries who are child=
ren,
A woman who works builds val=
uable retirement and disability
protection for herself and her
dependents, And payments are
payable to her children in the
event of her death just as in the
case of men, A woman who has
not worked outside her home may
qualify for social security bene
fits on her husband’s record,
¢“You might say,’”” Quarlesadded,
‘‘that the social securitylaw rec
ognizes that being a housewife
and mother is a special career,’”
Some of the ways you can qual=-
ify for social security payments
as a woman are:
1) As a wife, when your hus=-
band is getting social security
benefits and you are 62 or older,
or have childrenunder 18, or dis=
abled children in your care;
2) As a widow at 60 or older
or as early as age 50 if severely
disabled;
3) As a young widow if you
have children, under 18 or dis
abled children in your care;
4) In certain cases, even a
divorced wife may qualify for
prayments,
Since the possibility of a wom=
an getting social security bene=-
fits is greater, there is perhaps
a greater need for a woman to
find out about social security, no
matter whether she is a working
woman or a housewife,
The Decatur office has a num=
ber of booklets with general in=-
formation about social security
and also information about spec=
ific parts of the program,
Carter Says

Agriculture

TlFTON—Georgia is still a

Addressing Tifton Kiwanis

serted:
«¢The state’s potentials and its
problems require the jointatten

challenges is how to tie together
the common efforts of those two
interests in a spirit of harmony
