SS Changes
To Benefit
Many People
There have been some re
cent changes in the social
security law that will bene
fit many people in this area.
In making this announce
ment Walter S. Hendrix.
District manager of the East
Point Social Security Office,
brought out one of the more
significant changes. Now a
disabled widow who is at
least 50 years old can get
social security checks, even
though she has never
worked herself. The benefits
will be based on her de
ceased husband’s work un
der social security. Before
this new law there was no
provision for paying social
security benefits to a widow
because of her disability.
Hendrix explained the
basic requirements for this
new benefit: (1) the widow
must be unable to do any
gainful work because of a
physical or mental impair
ment. (2) she must have
been disabled at the time of
the husband's death or be
came disabled within 7 years
after his death. If survivor’s
benefits were paid at the
time of the husband’s death
to the widow and children,
this requirement can be met
within 7 years after these
payments stopped. This new
provision also applies to cer
: tain disabled widowers and
’ certain divorced wives who
meet specific support re
i quirements.
Hendrix urged all persons
I who feel they could qualify
under this new law to con
tact their social security of
fice. The office in East Point
is located at 2727 Main
Street and Is open from 8:30
to 4:30 Monday through Fri
day. For the convenience of
those who cannot get in to
! the office during the regular
hours the office will remain
, open on Saturday from 9:00
am to 12:00 noon.
