to accept claims and issue infor
mation concerning the Old - Age

is due the survivor even if the

time under the program. And, of
course, monthly benefits can be
paid to the minor children of a
deceased worker.
Mr. Cummins would also like to
see anyone nearing the age of 65
or past the age of 65 who might
soon be eligible for monthly old

All benefits paid under the
Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance Program are paid as a
matter of right according to con
tributions to the Program. Bene
fits are not based on want or
need.
