4,900 People in Alaska Affected
Bv 19S8 Social Security Changes
The Social Security Amend
ments of 1958 will provide increas
ed monthly payments to about
4900 people in Alaska beginning
with the checks which are due
early in February, 1959, according
to E.C. Cummins, social security
district manager for Alaska. The
amount of the increase will be
about 7 percent, although the in
crease in some checks will be
slightly more than 7 percent while
in others it will be slightly less
than 7 percent.
People who are already getting
social security payments do not
need to apply for the increase. It
will be automatically added to the
checks for January, which will be
mailed out early in February.
Under other changes made by
the new law,, social security bene
fits will become payable to a num
ber of people not previously
eligible for payments. They must,
however, apply to their social
security offices before payments
can start.
Among the groups now eligible
because of the amendments are:
Dependents of people who are 50
or over who are now getting disa
bility insurance benefits (children
under 18, a wife of any age who
has a child in her care, or a wife
62 or over); Disabled people 50 or
over who could not qualify for
benefits under the old law because
they did not have as much as IVz
years of work in the 3 years be
fore they were disabled (A total
of at least 5 years of work under
the law is still required); Depen
dent parents whose son or
daughter died after 1939 and who
could not qualify for benefits
under the old law because the son
or daughter left a widow, widower
or child; Adopted children whose
adopting parent began receiving
retirement benefits less than 3
years after the adoption; A person
receiving benefits who marries
another person also receiving
benefits can continue to receive
monthly checks, or can become
eligible as a dependent of the new
husband or wife without waiting
three years.
Some people in situations simi
lar to those mentioned above may
have applied for benefits in the
past and have been notified that
they did not qualify for payments.
These people should get in touch
with tfi^lr Social Security office
promptly about filing new appli
cations, Cummins noted.
Disabled workers whose social
security disability benefits were
reduced or were not payable be
cause they received Veteran’s pen
sions or workmen’s compensation
will begin to receive the full
amount of their social security
disability payments. (These people
do not have to file applications.
Their social security checks will
be started automatically with
checks mailed out early in Septem
ber).

on how much a social security
beneficiary may earn and still get
social security benefit payments.
Under a new provision, a person’s
social security benefit will not be
withheld for any month in which
he neither worked in his own
business nor earned over $100 in
wages.
Beginning January 1, 1959, the
social security tax rate for em
ployees and employers will be 2Vz
percent each. The rate for self
employed people will be 3% per
cent. These rates are scheduled
to increase again in 1960 and every
3 years thereafter until they
reach 4^ percent for employees
and employers and 6% percent
for self-employed people in 1989.
Starting with 1959 the first
$4800 of earnings in a year will be
taxes for social security and will
count toward social security bene
fits.
Additional information may be
obtained by writing to the Social
Security Administration, Box 1331,
Juneau, Alaska.
Cummins emphasized that it is
not necessary for people already
receiving monthly payments to
apply for the automatic increase.
It will be added to the January
check? whk't will be delivered
early in February.
UNEMPLOYMENT FUND UP
The Unemployment Compensa
tion Fund balance as of August
31, 1958 was $4,065,000, according
to Merrill E. Weir, director of the
Employment Security Commission.
This increased balance, as com
pared to the balance of $3,430,000
on July 31, 1958, is due to contri
butions received during the month.
The total ampunt owed to the
Federal Government due to bor
rowing under the Reed Bill now
stands at $8,265,000.
During the month of August
1958, $164,000 was paid out in
benefits as compared to $245,000
in July of this year and $126,000
in August 1957. This continues the
recent trend which has shown a
seasonal decline in unemployment
benefit payments but also show*
unemployment higher than for
the same month in previous years.
