Monthly Benefits
Pointed Out
Payment of more than $155,000,
000 in monthly benefits and large
gains in the social security pro
tection acquired by the nation's
workers marked the 1943 develop
ments of the federal old-age and
survivors insurance program, es
tablished under the Social Security
Act. It was the seventh year of
the program’s operation, and the
fourth year since monthly bene
fits became payable.
“Although it is still in its in
fancy, the federal old-age and sur
vivors insurance system is already
one of the vital forces bolstering
the welfare of American families
and the economic life of the na
tion.” said Hugh J. Wade, direc
tor of the local social security of
fice in Alaska, in a year-end
roundup of activities.
Because of unprecedented em
ployment opportunities in 1943.
some 47 million workers in indus
try and commerce received wages
! that count toward monthly bene
fits for themselves and their fam
ilies under this government insur
ance system. This is an increase
of two million over the number
who worked in jobs covered by
the system in 1942.
The number of people receiv
ing old-age and survivors insur
ance monthly payments increased
from 587,000 at the beginning of
1943 to almost 750,000 at the end
of the year. The $155,000,000
paid to these idividuals was $33,
000,000 more than was paid dur
ing the preceding year. The esti
mated total payments to retired
workers in 1943 were $83,000,000:
to wives of retired workers, $13,
000.000; to children, $32,000,000;
to widows with young children,
$17,000,000: to widows 65 and old
er, $10,000,000; to aged parents
about $600,000.
In addition to the $155,000,000
in monthly benefits, about $18,
000.000 wras paid in lump -sum
death payments -te 165,000 per
sons. including widows under 65
without young children, widow
ers, children over age of 18, or
parents of the deceased worker.
Lump sums are payable only in
cases where an insured worker is
not survived by a relative who
can qualify for immediate month
ly benefits.
The number of retired workers
receiving payments under the
system rose to a smaller extent
than the number building up
rights to retirement benefits in
the future. T*his was dtie, Mr.
Wade said, to the continuing em
ployment of older people who
would be entitled to monthly
benefits if they were no longer
at work. The wives of many of
these workers would also be eli
gible for payments to supplement
those of their husbands. At pres

| In the Alaska office, as in the
j other 434 offices of the old-agt
j aid survivors insurance system
| the year 1943 was marked by ur.
i usually numerous requests for sc.
cial security cards from boys anc
girls, women, older workers, and
others not ordinarily employed.
The Social Security Act requires
that workers in jobs covered by
the law—most jobs in private in
dustry and commerce—must ob
tain a social security card. This
card is the key to the social se
curity account which is maintain
ed for each worker by the Bu
reau of Old-Age and Survivors In
surance in Baltimore. Recorded
in each workers’ account is the
amount of wages he has received
in covered jobs. This record is
used to compute the Insurance
benefits which are payable when
the worker retires at 65 or later
or when he dies.
Most pronounced trend of the
year reflected by this program was

TuMic interest in extending the
