$57,000 PAID IN BRYAN
FOR SOCIAL SECURITY
Social security bene
fits paid to residents of
Bryan County totaled
$57,000 a month as 1969
ended, Wade Allen,
social security district
manager, reported to
day.
A benefit increase,
signed into law by Pre
sident Nixon on Dece
mber 30,1969,has since
raised the monthly rate
of payment by 15 per
cent for the 948 social
security beneficiaries
in Bryan County, Allen
noted.
Os the social security
beneficiaries living in
this area, 468 are re
tired workers and their
dependents. Another 277
are receiving benefits
as the survivors of
workers who have died,
and 188 are getting be
nefits as disabled wor
kers or the dependents
of disabled workers.
Allen pointed out that
although the majority of
social security benefi
ciaries are older peo
ple, about one out of
every four is under age
60.
In the state of Geor
gia, 169,746 people un
der age 60 are collect
ing social security
payments each month.
The 97,816 who are
under ,18 are receiving
payments because a
working father or mo
ther has died or is get
ting social security
disability or retirement
benefits.
• Os the 12,489 who are
18 through 21 years of
age, most are getting
student’s benefits under
75 Cases Made By
Patrol During May
Sergeant H.H. Clark
of the Hinesville State
Patrol Post announced
today that his post has
investigated 11 traffic
accidents, made 50 ar
rests and issued 56
warnings in Bryan coun
ty during May.
Commenting further
Clark said 14 persons
were injured in the 11
accidents along with 3
others killed.
Estimated property
damage amounted to
$12,675.00.
County GTEA and GEA Merged
Bryan County Educa
tors merged Thursday,
June 2nd in an afternoon
meeting held at Black
Creek School, following
a previous meeting held
that morning by both
units in separate areas
of the county where each
unit was adjourned per
manently.
The Bryan County
Georgia Teachers and
Education Association
met at Pembroke Ele
mentary and High School
a provision which per
mits the continuation of
a child’s benefits past
his or her 18th birthday,
and up to age 22 if he
or she is attending
school full time.
But in this 18 to 22
age group, Allen pointed
out, are some other
types of beneficiaries,
illustrating the broad
family protection that
is provided working
people of all ages under
the social security pro
gram.
A number are the
children of retired, dis
abled, or deceased wor
kers who became dis
abled before they rea
ched 18 and who will
probably never be able
to go to work and become
self supporting. The
benefits of these young
people, severely handi
capped by physical or
mental disabilities, will
continue idefinitely and
benefits are also pay
able to their mothers if
the disabled son or
daughter is in the
mother’s care.
Another small but
significant group of
. youthful social security
. beneficiaries are those
. who are receiving social
r security benefits as dis
, abled workers. Under a
k 1967 change in the law,
r disability benefits can
t be paid to a person who
. becomes disabled to
. work even if he has less
r than five years of work
■ under social security.
As little as a year, and
. a half, is required in
• the case of awoftferwho
r becomes disabled be
• fore age 24.
Also Clark pointed out
that fines and for
feitures amounted to
$ 1850.00 which were
paid to the city court
of Bryan county.
Sergeant W.R. Robert
son of the Savannah State
Patrol Post announced
today that his post has
investigated 1 traffic ac
cident, made 25 arrests
and issued 32 warnings
in Bryan County during
May 1970.
