PROCEDURE FILING
CLAIMS LUMP SUMS
(Special to Hie Nu.“get)
JUNEAU, April 12, — Proced
ure in filing claims for payment
i of lump sums under the Federal
Old Age benefits plan of the So
cial Security Act, surpassing in
simplicity and low cost to claim
, ants any other for similar use
j> et devised either for government
or private baui.i.ness purposes, was
outlined today by Hugh J. Wade
in a statement issued from the
Social Security Board's regional
office in Juneau. Moreover, Mr.
Wade declared, when claims pro
cedure is in fu'ii operation adju
dication of properly completed
claims can. be accomplished with
unusual dispatch following their
receipt ait Washington.
A simple form has been devis
ed by the Social Security Board
for use of each of the five differ
ent types of claimants. Forms are
provided for: —
1— Wage Earners.
2— ’Widows o<r widowers.
3— Other close relatives.
4— Executors or administrators.
5— Guardians or committees.
These forms ask from a mini
mum of two to a maximum of 12
questions.
A sixth form, known as the
“Statement of Employer”, is a
simple report by the employer
giving only the-total amount of
wages paid the employee and
employment period.
The Board pointed out that one
means of achieving simplicity in
claims procedure was by devis
ing a form for each type of claim j
instead of trying to use one form
for rail types. ;
The Board said the forms would
be obtainable and assistance in:
executing them available at any
erf the 12 regional offices‘and the
lUfield offices now open ait stra
tegic points throughout the Un
ited States. Forms and assistance
will also be available at the So
cial Security Board office in Wash
ington, D C. As the claims load
increases, the Board, stated new
field offices will be opened until
the maximum number of approx
imately 400-have been establish
ed.
Board field offices will contact
prospective claimaints when it is
indicated they may be eligible for
benefits and give explanations, as
well as to help claimants exe
cute necessary foams.
I
Pointing to the simplicity of;
forms, the Board declared this
makes unnecessary employment
of attorneys or claims agents to
assist claimants. An effort is be
ing made by the Board to eldm-;
inate the only expense to claim- ’
ants in filing claims, that of no- j
tary public fees. The Board de-,
sires to make available free no
tarial service in all regionail and
field offices.

plan became effective January 1
