Peckham Social Security Branch Manager in Ontario. In proclaiming Senior Citi zens Month, President Nixon said the theme "points our attention to the basic fact that most older people are not mere onlookers In our society--nor are they society's wards. They remain vital, versatile, and highly valued contributors to the quality of American life." "Social Security is active In helping older Americans re main active and involved," Peckham said. According to Peckham, So cial Security now pays over $2 1/2 billion a month in re tirement benefits to about 18 million people. " Payments have increased more than 50percent since 1969," he said. "Recent change* in the Social Security law have increased payments to widow* age 62 and over and to worker* who delay retirement past age 64." In the future. Social Security payments will generally in crease automatically with the cost of living, according to Peckham. "And nearly every one age 65 and over can get Medicare." he noted. The president said Senior Citizens Month must be " a time for strengthening those human bonds which will ensure older Americans an active and honored place in our familes, our communities and our na tion." “If senior citizens have sug gestions or questions about So cial Security,” p.-< khani said, “we invite them to call, write or visit any Social Security of fice.
