SOCIAL SECURITY
BOARD EXPLAINS
Charles L. Maginnls. manager
of the Klamath Falls office of
the Social Security Board, today
explained the effect of the
board s announcement that upon
request it will recalculate the
amount of old-age and survivors
insurance benefits available to
once-retired workers to include
credit for wages received since
the benefits were first claimed.
"This action," Maginnis said,
Is intended to take into ac
count the fact that many work
ers past the age of 69, who have
retired, and drawn benefits,
have gone back to war since the
country started its preparation
for war. Originally, these work
ers by filing a claim set their
benefits so that they could not
be moved up or down. But they
returned to work unexpectedly.
and generally have received
higher wages than before. The
board has therefore announced
that, in order to meet the intent
of the law, their benefits may
be recomputed in order to credit
towards monthly retirement
benefits the wages they received
after they bad once' filed a
claim."
800 Benefit
Approximately 800 workers
In the area who are past age 69
and have received some benefits
under social security have had
their payments suspended and
probably will benefit from the
board's decision, Maginnls said.
To prevent confusion or mis
understanding, Maginnis issued
the following conditions:: :
(1) Increased benefits will be
available only to workers 89 or
older who have claimed bene
fits and who subsequently have
worked in lobs covered by the
Social Security Act, and, gener
ally at higher pay than their
former average monthly waee.
The benefit amounts of widows.
orphans or aged parents whose
benefits were It zed on wages
up to the time of an insured
worker's death cannot be
changed.
(2) Benefits will be recalcu
lated, upon request of benefi
ciary. (3) The announcement does
not mean that any person may
receive benefits while working
In jobs covered by the law.. The
law provides that benefits must
be suspended for any month in
which -. the beneficiary makes
Now
Th. news of the successful invasion of the Phil
ippines stirred the nation. For it was an amazing
achievement landing great numbers of troops
and enormous quantities of supplies thousands
of miles across the Pacific.
It was a thrilling triumph for our Army, Navy
and Merchant Marine. '
We railroaders got a special thrill from the
news too, not only because we are Americans but
also because we know now that months ago the
Philippine invasion started on the railroads.
And many a railroader who, in recent months, has
worked double shifts to keep the war freight roll
ing to Pacific Ports, knows that he, too, had a part
in putting those men ashore on Leyte Island.
This mighty blow at Japan placed an especially
large burden on the Western railroads. Serving
less populated territory, the Western lines nor
mally do not have tha density of trafflo of th
eastern trunk lines, and their trackage was de
signed accordingly. Yet the western roads, in
spite of a manpower shortage, have handled
their enormous war burden efficiently and on
schedule. Theirs has been a real achievement too
more than $14.99 on covered
Job.
(4) There is no need for any
body who has been working in
covered employment - after he
filed a claim to ask for a recom
putatlon of his benefits as long
as his pay stays as high as his
average monthly wage between
January 1, 1937, and the date he
filed his claim. On the other
hand, If his pay starts going
down as a result of illness, re
duced hours, loss of his job or
for any other reason the work
er who la 63 or older should
consult the nearest office of the
Social Security Board at once.
The Klamath Falls office of
the Social Security Board is lo
cated at 208 N. Seventh Street
Ruling Beneficial
In time. Maginnls oolnted out.
the new ruling will prove bene-
nciai to many workers who at
tain age 69, and face the possl- j
Duuy tnat reduced pay. ' no
matter what the cause, may re
sult in reduced benefits. In the
past, he said, some of the work
ers have chosen to "freeze"
their benefit amount by filing
a claim even though they in
tended to keen on worlclnff.
That protected them against any !
arop in tne Denetit, Dut It also
prevented any Increase. The
net effect Is that a worker, upon
reaching' age 63, may "peg" his
benefit so that lt WlU not be
reduced but can be Increased on
the basis of his future work rec

THE young man In this picture obviously
is an extreme example. Our Govern
mem certainly does not expect any of us to
go that far la restricting our buying even
to put the 6th War Loan over the top.
But our fighting forces certainly will feel
that their sacrifices are appreciated If we
deny ourselves some things and put the
money into extra War Bonds instead.
- Remember, War Bonds pay off at ma
turity atthe rate of J4 forevery J 3 invested.
Try to boy at least one extra $100 Bond
while this 6th War Loan Drive is on.
THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION
- Since Southern Pacific is the largest Western
railroad and serves the major ports of embarka
tion on the West Coast, a very large portion of
the troops and war material destined for the
Philippines moved over our rails.
From now on, more and more of America's
might will roll West over the railroads for the
final showdown with Japan, Southern Pacific's
100,000 railroaders know well how important it
is to keep these war trains rolling. But they need
help. They need the help of thousands of men
( and women for this job.
There's a job waiting for you inthesupplyline
that backs up our men in the Pacific. If you want
a good job with a company whose biggest job
still lies ahead, please visit one of our employ,
