Vernonia Cleaners Moth-proofing Water-proofing SOCIAL SECURITY (Last in a series of Questions and Answers on Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) QUESTION: Are social security benefits paid automatically ? ANSWER: No. A claim must be filed before any bentfits are payable. This is very important because monthly benefits to re tired workers and members of his family are payable retroactively for only 3 months prior to the date of filing claim. When an insured worker reaches age 65, it is to his advantage to visit the nearest field office of the Social Security Administration whether or not he intends to retire im mediately. The field office can advise him of the best action to take. When a wage earner dies, it is important for his family to file claims at once at the nearest Social Security Administration field office. Monthly benefits to survivors are retroactive for only three months. Thus, if a claim is filed in the fourth month after the month in which the wage earn er dies, 1 month’s benefits are lost. Claim for a lump-sum bene fit must be filed within 2 years after the worker’s death. The field office servicing this area is located at 104 Old Post Office Building, Portland, Oregon. • In Oregon PORTLAND50’0411 **JTrS TWO FIRMS INTERESTED SEASIDE — At least two com panies were interested in pur chasing timber on land owned by the city of Seaside on the city’s watershed, according to a report at a recent meeting of the city council.
