Changes In Your
Social Security
By PAUL FILES, Manager Paris
Social Security Dist. Office
' The new amendments to the
social security law, signed by
'■ President Kennedy last week,
give men early benefit rights
similar to those women have had
since 1956.
The change applies to men be-
tween 62 and 65 years of age, and
is designed especially to help
those who are unable to find em
ployment because of their age or
poor health.
A man now 62 to 65 years of
age can start receiving benefits
with the month of August, 1961.
But if he retires before he reach-
es age 65, the monthly amount of
benefit paid to him is reduced.
He will continue to be paid the
reduced amount even after he
reaches 65.
Dependent widowers and the
dependent fathers of workers
who have died also can get bene-
fits at age 62. Their benefits,
like those of widows and depend-
ent mothers, are not reduced.
For men who retire early, the
amount by which their benefits
will be reduced depends on the
number of months for which they
will receive benefits while still
under 65. A worker who retires
and claims his benefits as soon
as he reaches 62 will qualify for
80 per cent of the amount that
would be payable to him at age
65 based on his average earnings
up until his retirement If he
waits until he is 62. he will get
86 2-3 per cent of his full bene-
fit; and if he waits until 6-t, the
amount will be 93 1-3 per cent.
The reductions are figured so
that a person may expect to re-
ceive, on the average, about the
same amount if he tak< s reduced
benefits beginning before he is
65, or waits until 65.
Members of the immediate
family of a rctirtd worker can
get dependents' benefits if the
worker retires at 62 or if he
waits. Eligible dependents in-
clude a wife 62 or older, or a
wife at any age if she has in her
care children who are eligible
for benefits. The child of a re-
tired worker is eligible if he is
under age 18. or if he has been
totally disabled since childhood.
The Committee on Finance of
the Senate, in recommending this
change in the law. said "The pro-
vision of benefits at age 62 for
men will help to alleviate the
hardships faced by that group
of men who, because of ill health,
automation, or other technologi-
cal change, are forced into pre-
mature retirement before age
65.”

to be administered, clothes to

cate copies to be arranged for.
Most school districts require
proof-of-age for children begin-

ient proof for most parents is a
copy of the child's birth certifi-
cate. Such copies are available
from local registrars, county
clerks, or from the Texas State
Department of Health’s Records
and Statistics Section. Certified
birth certificate copies may be
obtained by sending one dollar
($1.00) to the Texas State De-
partment of Health at 410 Fifth
Street in Austin. Along with the
dollar, the child’s name, place and
date of birth, and the parents’
names should be included to
speed the records search.
Thousands of birth certificate
requests are processed each week
in the Austin facility. However,
during the late summer months

Farm Operations
Delayed By Rain
An early morning thunder-
storm Sunday brought additional
rain to this section of the state.
The rainfall varied in some areas,
and delayed farm operations.
Rain Saturday night left 1.3 in-
ches of moisture at Bogata.
Cotton farmers feel there is
adequate soil moisture and are
wanting some dry, hot weather
to finish out the crop. Pastures,
grassland, corn, gardens and
truck patchs were benefitted by
the moisture. Hay baling was al-
so interrupted. With clearing
skies, temperatures have climb-
ed steadily daily to the mid-90’s.
Cotton insect infestation in
many cotton fields has increased
due to the additional moisture.
Farmers who have stayed on
schedule with their insecticide
applications report fewer insects
than those unable to do so.
