SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

A compromise has been worked out between Congress and the Administration on Amendments to the Social Security Act. Among the key provisions was an increase in Social Security benefits — estimated to be 5.6 per cent — to become effective in June, 1974.

Benefits will be increased by $1.9 billion during calendar year 1974 for 30 million Social Security beneficiaries. On an individual basis, this means average raises of (1) from $166 to $176 for retired workers; (2) from $277 to $293 for aged couples; and (3) from $158 to $167 for elderly widows.

INSURANCE COVERAGE — UP

Americans had $1.6 trillion of life insurance issued by legal reserve life insurance companies at the end of 1972, an increase of $125 billion over year-end 1971.

If this total of life insurance were divided equally among all U.S. families, each would have had $22,900 of protection at year-end. Excluding families with no life insurance, the average for insured families was about $26,900. Some 140 million policyholders, or two out of three people in the country were insured with legal reserve life insurance companies at the end of 1972.
