Social Security Benefits Here Reach $34,043 "Monthly old-age, survivors, and disability insurance bene fits in Morrow county now top $34,043," W. King Leach, Social security field representat i v e, said today on releasing his an nual county benefit data report. The new monthly rate repre sents an increase of eight per cent over the corresponding per iod last year. "This increase can be attrib uted to the changes in the law in recent years as well as to the growth of our aged population," Leach said.
