W- QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
1 QUESTION: If I get disabil
| ity insurance benefits, will this
affect the amount of my retire
ment benefit when I reach age
65?
ANSWER: No, not at all, be
■ause disability insurance bene
fits are figured just as if you
had reached 65 on the day your
disability began. You receive
the same monthly amount as a
disability benefit that you will
receive when you retire at age
165.
QUESTION: I’m familiar
i with the recent changes in the
! social security law that lets me
work part time and still re
1 ceive some of my benefits. But
my earnings every year vary
between $1200 and $4500. How
can I estimate the amount I
will receive from social secur
ity each year?
ANSWER: Your local social
security office can give you
a free pamphlet—“You don’t
have to retire completely to get
social security benefits” (OASI
23c). If you konw the amount
of your social security benefit
and can estimate your yearly
e. -nings, this pamphlet will
show you the amount that you
can expect to receive during
the year.
QUESTION: How disabled
must I be to qualify for dis
ability insurance benefits?
ANSWER: Social Security
disability insurance benefits
may be paid to a worker whose
illness or injuries are so severe
that he is unable to “engage in
any substantial gainful activ
ity."

Seal Belts Will
Aid Motorists
According to the Portland,
Oregon, Traffic Safety Com
mission most traffic deaths
and injuries occur at speeds
under 40 miles per hour and
within 25 miles of home. It
adds that seat belts, proper
ly installed and used, will
prevent 60 per cent of these
casualties. The belts, it has
found, are the single most
effective safety device that
can be installed in a car.
