Everell Cummins, field repre- sentative of the Portland social security office, emphasized that no one needs to apply for the increased payments. "The social security administration is already changing the amounts,” he point ed out. 'They will be changed in time to be on the checks to be mailed October 3, the regular delivery date, but if in a few cases that schedule is not met the regular check will be mailed and the difference made up in a later check.” Amount of the increase for a retired worker fill range from $5.00 to $8 60 with the average about $6.00. Where several mem bers of a family are receiving payments, the total increase to the family can be as much as $18 90. A few benefitsnow being paid, and most of those payable in the future, will be based on earnings after 1950 instead of after 1936. Beginning Sept* mber new law increased to $75 a month instead of $50 the amount of money a beneficiary may earn and still receive the monthly benefits. The amended law contains a provision of special importance to self-employed people who have retired or plan to retire during 1952. Before the passage of the amendments their earnings for the year in which an application was made could not be used to figure their old-age benefit pay ments. Now. those self-employed people who originally applied for benefits in 1952 may re-apply at the clos" of the taxable year and have their 1952 earnings used in figuring their monthly benefit payments. In general, this will increase the monthly benefit pay ment to self-employed persons, allows Another amendment beneficiaries ac-d 75 or over al- ready on the rolls to take ad vantage of the higher benefit payments provided under th? new formula, if they have had at least a year and a half of covered work after 1950.
