The maximum payment for a fam-

"There were several reasons for
the Increase in beneficiaries over
last year." Files said. The long-
term growth of the aged propula-
tlon and of the proportion of the
sged population eligible for bene-
fits are Important factors In the
-o.ot'nuing Increase in tbe number
»f beneficiaries. Other reasons fo-
'he increase of beneficiaries are
found in the provisions of the 1958
Amendments to the Social Security
Act which now make It possible
for the wife, dependent husband.
®nd children of a disabled-worker
beneficiary to receive monthly pay
ments These amendments also
orovlde for benefits to aeed de-
pendent parents of a deceased
workr even though othr surviv-
ors are entiled to payments.
Moreover. Files pointed out. it
s now easier for a disabled work-
er to qualify for benefit payments
He no longer needs social security
credit for l'x years of work In the
'a*t 3 years before he became dis-
abled If he worked under soda)
security for at least 5 years out
of the 10 before he became dis-
abled he may be eligible for dis-
ability benefits.
"Increases in average benefit
payments reflect the 7 per cent
raise In benefit amounts which be-
came effective with the checks for
January 1959.” Flies said Aver-
age d sabillty benefit payments al-
so reflect the elimination of the so-
called "offset” provision lit the old
law. Disability benefits under so-
cial security are now payable la
full even though benefits are alao
payable under State workmen’s
compensation or under some other
Federal Government program.
