Federal Pension
Checks in County.
Average $793 Year
How laree are the Federal
. pension checks going to Jack-
.- son county residents, compared
with those going to people in
- other parts of the United States?
- How much of an impact does
- this money exert on the local
economy eacn year:
- According to the latest official
figures, released by the Social
Security Administration, the lo-
: ral income from pensions is rel
atively high.
"Average Payment
As of the beginning of this
year, it is shown, the average
payment to beneficiaries in
Jackson county amounted to
$793 per year, which compares
favorably with the average- of
$785 per recipient in the United
States as a whole.
This money, which goes to
retired or disabled workers and
their dependents, is paid from
the trust funds of the old-age
survivors and disability insur
ance systems, which are oper
ated on an actual basis.
Just how much each pension
er or his family receives each
month depends upon how much
he paid into the funds during
Ills active wonting career.
Because average earnings In
the local area have been higher,
the contributions have also been
higher and so have the benefits.
8,557 Residents
Overall, the report shows,
some 9,557 residents of the coun
ty are receiving pension pay
ments amounting to $7,595,000
a year.
Some idea of the expansion
that has been taking place may
be had by looking at the fig
ures released by the adminis
tration three years ago.
At that time, there were only
7,060 local beneficiaries. They
received $5,177,000 during the
year.
Mora and fori people
throughout the nation are com
ing under the protection of the
social security system with each
passing year as amendments
are made to broaden the cov
erage. In fiscal 1962 alone, over Vk
million men, women and chil
dren were added to the benefit
rolls and the. payments went up
by $1.8 billion.
The amount of money coming
into Jackson county each year,
via these pension checks, has
reached an important level. As
the business men calculate it
it now represents 8 per cent of
every dollar spent in the local
retail stores. .
