Emery Király, May 13, 1959 Treasurer PROBLEMS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY Question: I am receiving the maximum social security benefit of $200.00 as a widow and for my three minor children. Will I, therefore, receive the maximum under the new law of $254.00 per month for January 1959? Answer: Not necessarily. The maximum family benefit that may be paid under this new law is determined by the average monthly earnings of your husband prior to his death. This increase may vary from a few dollars to the full amount of $54.00. Question: When my wife applied for social security benefits she was under 65 years of age and had to take a reduction in her payments. Does the increase in benefits she will receive in January mean she will no longer have to take the reduction in her payments? Answer: No. The law has not been changed. It is still necessary that a wife under 65 must take the reduced benefit. The increase she will receive will be about 7% of her present amount. No application need be filed to receive this increase. Question: I am 53 years old. Since June 1958 I have been receiving monthly disability benefits under the social security law because of permanent and total disability which keeps me from working. However, I have two children under 18 years of age. Can I also get social security benefits for these children? Answer: Yes. The 1958 amendments to the social security law have made it possible for a disabled worker’s dependent children under 18 years of age to collect monthly benefits beginning with the month of September 1958 if the worker is entitled to disability benefits. However, payments to your children cannot start until an application is filed. Therefore, you should get in touch with your social security office immediately.
