Fewer Credits Under Social Security
? Now Needed for Those Past 72

Editor's Note: This is one of a
series for our readers prepared
by R. R. Tuley, Jr., District
$ Manager for the Social Se-
curity Administration at Abi-
lene, Texas.
A sizeable number of persons
now past age 72 have inquired
about social security benefits in
recent years only to find that
they did not have the minimum
of si* quarters of coverage re-
quired by the law then in effect.
A quarter of coverage is given
for having been paid wages of
at least $50 in a calendar quart-
er, or $150 in wages for agri-
cultural work for one employer
in a year, or, if self-employed,
four such credits are given for
a year in which at least $400 in
net profit was made.
The 1965 changes provide that
some persons aged over 72 may
now qualify with as few as three
ft <nich quarters of coverage. All
persons past age 72 who are not
1 now receiving social security
checks, and who think they
might now qualify, are urged to
write their social security of-
fice, giving their full name, date
of birth, and social security ac-
count number. The records will
be checked and arrangements
made to recure necesary applica-
tions from those who will now
qualify for the special $35 per
month benefit. A wife or depen-
dent husband past age 72 can
also be paid an additional $17.40.
Age proofs will be necessary.
Any widow past age 72, who
was denied social security bene-
fits because her husband had
not worked long enough under
social security to be insured,
should also write her social se-
curity office, giving her full
name, her husband's full name
and oscial security account num-
ber, each date of birth, and his
date of death. After checking the
records, arrangements will be
made to secure claims from
those now qualified. Age and
marriage proofs will then be
secured.
For example, Mr, A. was born
in 1880, and worked only 3-4 of
a year in ill on a job covered
by social security. If he now has
3 quarters of coverage, he is
due $35 per month, beginning
with September of 1965. If he
had died some time ago, and his
widow is now 72 or older, she
wil be due $35.00 per month.
