ESZENYI, Auditor PROBLEMS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY Question: My wife would like to know if in the case of her mother’s death she would receive some social security benefit to help with the burial expenses, even if she isn’t living with us. Her mother gets $30 per month social security benefit. Answer: If her mother’s benefit is one she earned herself (rather than a wife’s or widow’s benefit) your wife would be eligible for a lump-sum of $90 after she pays her mother’s burial expenses, provided her mother is not survived by her husband. Question: My husband was born April 2, 1896, and has been paid the maximum wages under social security since 1947. How many years will he have to earn $4,200 to draw $108.50 per month at retirement? Answer: He will have to earn $4,200 each year through 1959, the year in which he reaches age 63. The years 1951 through 1954, when the maximum was $3,600, and the year 1960 will make up his 5 dropout years.
