You all helped on that didn’t you?” ‘Well, a little Pete. That is how it was. Often it is necessary to tell a fellow’s family, after he has died that they ought to go to the Social Security Board Office and see if there is something coming to them on his social security account. If there is, they should ask for it— file a claim—and file it promptly. It shouldn't be necessary to tell them this. They should have known about his Old-Age and Sur vivors Insurance before he died.” SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE “But some don’t know. Take An dy’s wife for instance. She knew that money was kept out of every one of his pay checks for social security. But she imagined, just as you did, that it was only for his old-age retirement”. “Well, after I had phoned the Social Security Board Office about Andy’s death, I went to his house and explained to his wife that Andy’s social security insurance covered her and the children too. A week or so later, I offered to aid her get her proofs together. These are very simple—her marriage certificate and so on. Andy’s house is quite a way out of town so I brought her to the Social Security Board office in my jalopy to make sure there’d be no time lost in filing her claim.” SECURITY CHECKS “It came to $60 a month, didn’t it, Joe?’’ “Not Quite, Pete. She now gets checks every month for $57.23. One check is for $24.53—she gets that one because she’s Andy’s wi dow and has his young children in her care. The other two checks— $16.35 each—are in behalf of three children”. , “How long will these checks LEGAL NOTICE OF MEASURE TO BE VOTER UPON NOVEMBER 5, 1940 (BALLOT TITLE) CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION AMENDMENT to Constitution of Nebraska re YES lating to and prohibiting denial of employment to any person because of membership or nonmember NO ship Iu or resignation or expulsion from a labor or ganization; prohibiting any contract t* exclude per sons from employment because ef membership or non-membership in a labor organization; defining "labor organization” as any organization of any kind, or any agency or employee represen tation committee or plan, which exists for the purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor dis putes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or conditions of work; providing that said amendment be self-exeeutiag.

The youngster’s checks will keep com ing each month till their 18th birth day. Tommy won’t be 18 for 15 years. Bess will be 18 two years later”. “When Bess is 18, her mother’s checks will stop too—to begin once more when she is 65 years old, provided she hasn't married again’’. FAMILY GETS $13,000 “Joe, how much do you reckon Andy’s family will receive in so cial security benefits—all toge ther?” “I figured that one out the other night, Pete. Looks to me like about $13,000 if Andy’s widow lives out her normal span of life.” “And how much did Andy pay in taxes—Social Security premi ums, they’re called, aren’t they— while he was working?” “About $126, Pete. But remem ber, the firm we work for matched this amount penny for penny when they sent it in to the Government” “Where did you learn all this, Joe The Union’s Committee. ‘‘I’ll tell you, Pete. Our Social Security Committee meets with the manager of the Social Secur ity Board office. We’ve gone over some of the main points of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system with him. And he has gi ven us some explanatory leaflets to read. They are written in plain words and are easy to understand’ Where can I get some?” ‘‘Same ^ace: just ask for But, Pete, as soon as we can ar range it, the manager is coming to speak before a meeting of our local. He will bring a batch of the leaflets with him and hand them out to the members so that each of us can take one home for the family to read”, GET THE FACTS ‘‘That’s good. You said a while ago that it was important for our families to know about this insur ance”. ‘I did, Pete, and I'll say it once again. A widow with youngsters can collect on a claim for a per iod of 3 months back from the time it is filed—but no more. Sup pose we had not told Andy’s wi dow to file her claim within those 3 months? Suppose she had gone on for a year or so without find ing out about it ? Then what ? She would have missed out on all the monthly payments that might have been hers for most of that time!" MONEY TO LOSE "Let’s see—12 months at $57.22 a month. That comes to over $680. Quite a tidy sum because you don't claim it!” "Sure us!” “ Pete, if our Social Security Committee does nothing else, we mean to make every member and his family know this: ‘You don t get any social security insurance benefits until you ask for them! File your claims promptly’.” —FROM Packinghouse Worker OPA BACK AGAIN WASHINGTON, D.
