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. "This money stim
ulates county business; most of
it is spent for food, clothing,
and shelter."
Monthly benefits first became
payable in January 1940, and
they have continued without in
terruption for 23 years. More
people in Morrow county could
draw benefits if they knew more
about the law, and for that
reason are urged to visit the
social security office whenever
they have a question concerning
their benefits.
The following shows the num
ber and amount of each type of
monthly benefit paid in Morrow
county as of December 31, 1962:
Retired worker, 305, $23,672;
wife or husband, 68, $2,849;
widow or widower, 44, $2,823;
mothers and children, 58, $3,486;
and disabled workers and de
pendents, 16, $1,093.
