DISABILITY INSURANCE
BENEFITS PAID IN ALASKA
OVER $3 MILLION ANNUALLY
Old-age, survivors, and disabil
ity insurance benefits are being
paid in Alaska at the rate of
$3,093,000 a year, according to
Everell C. Cummins, manager of
the Social Security district of
fice in Juneau.
“This is an increase of about
20 per cent over last year when
benefits were paid at a rate of
$2,580,000,” Cummins said.
There are several reasons for
the increase in benefits over last
year, according to Cummins. One
is the reduction in the retirement
age to 62 for women. Another
cause was the starting of disabil
ity insurance benefits to disabled
people age 50 or over. Also, a
continued rise in the number of
older people retiring in Alaska
accounts for part of the increase.
WEATHER FORECAST
Cloudy with occasional rain to
night and Saturday with little
