Social Security
Applicants Must
Apply at Once
Sam F. Test, social security dis-
trict manager of the Detroit North-
west Social Security office, 18500
Grand River, said that many
people who first became eligible
for social security benefits under
the 1967 amendments to the law
stand to lose some benefits if they
don't apply for these benefits be-
fore Saturday.
If a person applies for benefits
after the month he first becomes
eligible, he may receive the back
benefits for up to 12 months before
the month of his application. The
new types of benefits were first
payable for the month of February
1968.
Under the 1967 social security
changes in the law, benefits may
now be payable to the following:
1. Young disabled workers who
previously didn't qualify for dis-
ability insurance payments be-
cause they had insufficient work
credits;
2. Disabled widows and depend-
ent widowers age 50-62; and
3. Children of women workers
who were insured at the time of
their death, disability, or retire-
ment, but who did not meet the
recent work requirement.
