“What About This Social Security?” j
File Claims for Insurance Benefits Promptly {
‘‘This social security did right
well by Andy’s widow and the kids
didn’t it Joe? 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”.

come to her?”
“Well, let's see. There are two
children, you know, Tommy and
Bess. Tommy is 3 years old now.
Bess is about 1 year old. 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’.”
