The figures quoted were fur­
nished by Paul F. Johnson, man­
ager of the Eugene office of the
social security administration. He
stated that under the new rules,
anyone now 65 years old or who
will be 65 before July 1, 1954,
needs to have worked only about
one and one-half years in jobs
covered by the law’. Payments
cannot begin, however, until the
individual has attained the age
of 65.
Employed wage earners who
are now’ 75 years of age or over
receive an o 1 d-a g e insurance
check for every month even if
they are working full time. Wi­
dows of World War 2 veterans
with children under 18 in their
care and whose husbands were
killed in service or who died af­
ter discharge may be entitled to
monthly payments, as well as
those widows whose husbands
died after having worked long
enough to become insured und-
der the secoal security act. Chil-
dren under the agte of 18 of a
woman worker who died after
1939 may be eligible for survi­
vors payments provided their
mother had worked at least a
year and a half in the three years
preceding her death. In such
cases it is immaterial if the chil-
dren were living with and sup-
ported by their father. The wife
of a retired worker may be elig-
ible for benefits if she has at-
tained the age of 65, or regard-
less of her age if she has his
children under age 18 in her
care. An aged, dependent hus­
band if a reired woman wage
earner may also be eligible.
Johnson urged that any per­
son who may elegible for any
of these benefits listed, get in
touch with the socal security ad­
ministration promptly so that loss
of payments due may be voided.
The office serving Curry county
is located at 1247 Willamette St.,
Eugene, Oregon.
