ments based on my husband's
-social securi ty earnings before his
death in 1953, I know these pay
ments are supposed to stop when

drawing on their fathers social
security account since his death?
A. No. If a child of a deceased
worker is legally adopted by his
grandparents, Aunt or Uncle, the
child may continue to receive
monthly survivors payments. If
the child is adopted by anyone
other than these relatives, the
payment stops.
Q. What determines the bene
fit amount that a disabled per
son is entitled to under the So
cial Security Law?
A. The amount of the disabil
ity benefit depends on a person’s
average earnings in work cover
ed by social security; it is the
same as the amount of old-age
insurance benfit for which he
would be eligible if he were at
retirement age. For more infor
mation contact your social secur
ity representative, by writing

An English king with a sense
of humor gave us the name for
sirloin steak. The World Book
Encyclopedia’s research depart
ment says Charles II once com
pared his affection for his friends
gathered at a Christmas dinner
to his fondness for a loin of good
beef. Touching the roast with his
sword, he declared, “I knight
thee Sir Loin.”
The Armenians eat boiled spin
ach on Christmas Eve, according
to The World Book Encyclopedia,
because they believe Mary ate
the vegetable the night before
Christ was born.
