President Signs Social Security Amendments For Health Insurance
Now that th< President has
signed th« 1965 Social Security
Amendments. .some people will
want t>> lake at-i >>n right away
in order to protect their .lew
benefit rights Mo«t others will
need to take no action t all. As
legislation providinc health in-
surance for the aged and ntaknt:
other far reaching changes in the
social security program became j
effective with the ceremony in
Independence. Missouri last Fri-
day. July 30, 1965, Robert M
Ball. Commissioner of Social
jnt.pU- tw or over who have never
w. rkt .I under social security:
although n. >t qualified for casli
social security benefits, these
people may qualify for the basic
hospital insurance protection un-
der the new "medicare" program.
Those receiving public assistance
from the States may l>e signed up
for the basic hospital insurance by
their welfare agencies. Enroll-
ments in the voluntary medical
insuranee plan can !>e accepted
1m uinninn September 1. 1%.>.
Therefore, persons over 65 who
have not worked under social
Securitv, proposed some "Do's
and "Don'ts" for the many mil- security should wait at least until
lions of persons who will be September 1
affected.
"First of all, let me say to the
20 million people now receiving
social security benefits: you don't
need to take any action at all in
order to get the increased cash
b. nefit payments the law provides.
The amount of the increase for
the months of January through
August 196T> will be paid to you
in a separate check that will reach j
you in the latter part of Septem-
ber. The first regular checks re-
flecting the 7 percent increase will
be mailed early in October, cov-
ering the month of September."
Second: social security and
railroad retirement beneficiaries
now 65 or over will not need to
take any action to secure their
basic hospital protection under
the new Health Insurance Pro-
gram. All aged persons now on j
the rolls will receive in Septem-
ber or October a full information
kit directly by mail describing
this protection, which becomes
effective July 1. 1966. Before this
effective date a Health Insurance
Card certifying to their eligibility
for the services will automatically
be sent to beneficiaries 65 or
over.
Third: social security benefici-
aries will not need to go to the j
social security office about the j
voluntary supplementary plan
covering physicians fees and
other benefits. At the time they
get the basic information kit.
they will receive an enrollment |
postcard giving them an oppor- |
tunity to sign up for the added ;
medical insurance program, which
also becomes effective July 1. i
1966.
before visiting their
social security office. Then they
can sign up for the basic hospital
insurance and, also, enroll in the
medical insurance program if they
wish that additional important
protection.
Certain other groups affected
bv the law do need to take ac-
tion. They need onl> inquire at
their social security office. tb<
Commissioner said. The major
groups involved are:
Persons now 65 or over who
an- insured under social Miuritv
hut have never applied for bene-
fits. Even though they may still
be working full time, it would be
desirable for these people to ap-
ply now to establish their benefit
rights. This will qualify them for
hospital insurance protection and
will also make sure they got any
cash benefits to which they may
j be entitled commencing in 1966
| because of more Liberal retire-
! ment test provisions. Under the
amendments, any earnings that
a person has after applying for
social security will automatically
j be included at a later date in a
recomputation of benefits if it is
; advantageous to the individual:
therefore, no one can lose by
j filing for benefits as soon as
: possible.
Persons 72 or older not now
getting benefits because they (or
thHr husbands) had not worked
enough under social security to
tfualify under the previous provi-
sions of the law. These persons,
if they have any social security
: credits at all. should get in touch
with the nearest social security
office right away, because the
amount of time they needed to
have worked under social securit>
sons 7.' or over will now qualifv
for benefits of $Xi a month with
as little as three quarters of
(•overage under social security.
Benefits may also be payable to
the wife or widow of such per-
sons.

lime the law Iwcoiiu'* effective.
Beginning September. widows
can choose to have their cash
benefits start at age 60, instead
of age 62, but at a reduced
amount. Application for this pur-
pose may be filed immediately.

others nearing age IX who plan to
