Xome anyway”, they urged,

be disappointed if we don’t see
each and every one of our co
workers as we are still planning
on making our “Christmas in

may die with us, but what we
do for others will live forever”’.

YOU AND YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY
One of the important reasons
for social security insurance bene
fits is the protection of children. ;
Before recent changes in the law, j
however, foster children who had j
not been legally adopted were of- j
ten out of luck where social se- {
curity is concerned.
The 1958 changes in social se- j
curity law make it possible to
pay benefits to more children
and more widows. In the case of
children, thi9 results from the
removal of the adoption provi
sion in the old law; in the case of
widows, the removal of the adop
tion provision will also permit
the payment of mother’s benefits
in most cases.
It is no longer necessary that
a child, other than the worker’s
own child, be an adopted child
in order to qualify for survivor’s
benefits. The requirement now is
that the child be “adoptable” and
be adopted by the surviving
spouse wtihin two years after the
worker’s death. If the child was
living in the worker’s household
as a member of the family, and
was not supported by anyone
other than the worker, the spouse
or a social agency, he is now re
garded, for social security pur
poses, the same as the worker’s
own child.
