Attempts Being
Made To Improve
Old-Age Program
Eleven specific recommendations
for the expansion and Improve-
ment of the old-age and survivors
insurance program have been made
to Congress In the Tenth Annual
Report of the Social Security Board,
J. R. Sanderson, manager of the
Amarillo Field office of the Board,
reported today.
Heading the list Is a recommen-
dation, made repeatedly by the
Board, that coverage of the pro-
gram be expanded to Include all
gainful workers, Including agricul-
tural and domestic employees, pub-
lic employees and employees of
nonprofit organizations, and self-
employed persons, Including farm-
ers.”
Mr. Sanderson said that “the so-
cial and economic welfare of the
area served by the Amarillo office
of the Board will be strengthened
whenever action Is taken to extend
the benefits of the system to the
millions that are not covered now.
"Rie Board has urged this action
In the past, and now, in a period
of increased Job turnover, we are
Impressed more than ever by Its
urgency,” Mr. Sanderson continued.
“Aside from the fact that the
Board has had appeals from many
persons and groups now in non-
covered employment for inclusion
In the system, we have seen how
periods In noncovered employment,
such as those spent by millions of
our men in the armc-d service of
the country, can affect qualifica-
tions for benefits.
“And, I am glad to say, the
Board has recommended—Inciden-
tally, for the fifth consecutive year
—that credit be given to service-
men for thetr period of service in
the armed forces.”
Limitation of coverage is recog-
nized by the Board as the most
serious continuing shortcoming of
old-age and survivors ’ insurance,
Mr. Sanderson added. It Is pointed
out in the Annual Report of the
Board that in an average week of
1944 only about three-fifths of all
gainfully employed civilians were in
Jobs covered by the system, and
more than 21.000,000 civilians and
between 11,000,000 and 12,000,000
servicemen were excluded from It.
Recommendations of Immediate
Importance to persons already cov-
ered by the Act intAjde one, (eg anj
increase in benefit amounts par-
ticularly for low-paid workers, and
one for an increase from $3,000 to
$3,600 a year in the amount of
eamlngs subject to contribution
and counted in computation of
benefits, Mr. Sanderson pointed
out.
"At the present levels, monthly
benefit payments amounting to ap-
proximately $198,000.00 went to 1,-
232 men, women and children in
this area last year,” Mr. Sander-
son said.
Three recommendations by the
Social Security Board are for
changes in provisions of the Act
that experience has shown cause
hardship to beneficiaries and po-
tential recipients, Mr. Sanderson
said.
They are for a reduction of the
qualifying age for all women bene-
ficiaries to 60 years, from the pres-
ent 65; deletion of the requirement
of school attendance as a condi-
tion of receipt of benefits by chil-
dren aged 16 and 17 and increase
in the amount of earnings permit-
ted a beneficiary without suspen-
sion of benefits.
Benefit payments now are sus-
pended for any month In which the
person on whose wages the bene-
fits are based earns more than
$14.99 in covered employment, and
a sum equal to a month's benefit
is assessed as a penalty for know-
ingly falling to report any such
earnings.
In addition the Board has recom-
mended :
Benefits during periods of ex-
tended or permanent disability like
those for old-age retirement;
Two additional insurance provis-
ions have been urged by the Board
Mr. Sanderson said, to Improve the
health of the Nation and to com-
pensate the worker for wages lost
during periods of sickness or other
disability.
“These recommendations and
others concerning the unemploy-
ment insurance and public assis-
tance systems show the course that
the Board has said it believes to be
'feasible and necessary as the
United States faces forward to
peace,’ Mr. Sanderson said.
"In a summaiy recommendation,
the Social Security Board is urging
the establishment of 'a comprehen-
sive basic national system of social
insurance, covering all major risks
to economic Independence and all
workers and their dependents to
whom such risks apply.’
"It is urging the establishment of
'a comprehensive program of pub-
lic assistance, on a State-Federal
basis, under which payments fi-
nanced from State and Federal
funds would be available to any
needy person in the United States
irrespective of the reason for need
or the place of residence.'
"The Board would extend the so-
cial security program to the mil-
lions of families that now are
partly or wholly unprotected, it
would cover risks against which
