OLD-AGE INSURANCE
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
ARE NOW GOING UP
"There will be no delay In getting
out the increased insurance benefit
payments provided by the amended
Social Security Act," declares James
O. Browne Manager of the Juneau
field office of the Social Security
Administration.
Browne returned from a confer
ence In Sacramento and San Fran
cisco, held in connection with the
amended act, signed into law by
President Truman Monday.
"At the conference, I learned
that the area offices have been
working overtime to compute the
increased amounts of payment and
are ready now to get out the higher
benefit checks," says Mr. Browne.
Under a provision of the new
law, increased payments will go to
everyone now receiving old-age or
survivors insurance payments. This
is effective September 1.
“Cards notifying present bene
ficiaries of this important provision
of the new law are now in the
malls.” declares Mr. Browne. “The
Increases will show on the Sep
t gmber checks which will reach
ttpin early in October," he added.
.' payments under the amended law
•will jange from a minimum of $20
Up a retired insured worker to $1501
maaltnum for family benefits.
I lit. Browne requests beneficiaries
lrt the Territory wait until the re
ceipts of their September checks to
find out the exact amount of their
individual increased benefit pay
ments.
Under the new law, Mr. Browne
says people age 65 or over will be
eligible for insurance benefits be
ginning in September if they have
been paid wages of $50 or more in
six or more different calendar quar
ters for wprk covered by social
security. Roughly, this is a year!
and a half. He estimates that 300,
people in the Territory will be,
entitled to immediate payments r
under this provision. Many nf
these people had made application
before but could not qualify for
benefits under the old law. The
Juneau Field Office of the Social
Security Administration is making
every effort to get in touch with
those of whom it has record, but
asks the cooperation of everyone
Who may Ipiow of such a person.
. “Tell him, or tell us,” says Mr.
Browne. “Have him contact our
office and file a new application
for old-age and survivors insurance
benefit payments.”
The other provisions of the new
, law, extending social security cov
erage ..to groups of workers and
self-employed people heretofore ex
cluded, will go into effect on Jan
, uary 1.
SWANSON FUNERAL
TO BE HELD FRIDAY;
BURIAL IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Sept. 6—tM-Half a
dozen clergymen will participate
here Friday in funeral services for
the Re. Verne John Swanson, 53,
of Craig, Alaska.
The group will include the Vice
Moderator of the Presbyterian Syn
od of Washington and a representa
tive of the church's Board of Na
tional Missions.
The Rev. Mr. Swanson died Aug.
25 in the foundering of his fish
boat Vermay off southeast Alaska.
Churchmen said he built the Ver
may with his own hands; that the
income from it made it possible for
him to give up his salary four years
ago to finance apother missionary
in southeast Alaska.
For nine years he was captain
of the Mission boat Princeton-Hall.
National Commander George N.
Craig of The American Legion has
charged the Comunist fifth column
as being behind the circulation of
so-called "peace petitions" in the
United States.
Plans have been completed for the
construction of a modern air condi
tioned department headquarters
building for The American Legion
of Missouri at Jefferson City.
