the years have kept social secur-
ity ‘young’ up-to-date with
an expanding economy and
changing society,” he said.
The original social Security
law was enacted August 14, 1SS6.
“The law then protected work-
ers In commerce and Industry
only,” McNatt .noted. “Benefits
ranging from $10 to $85 a month
could be paid only to retired
‘workers at age 65. Today, In a
vastly different, mare socially
aware nation, social security
protects 0 out of 10 workers In
almost all fields.”
Social security
now include retired workers and
their families, disabled workers
and their families, and the fam-
ilies of deceased workers. Pro-
tected dependents also Include
children under 18, older children
who were disabled before age
18, and children 18 through 22
who are full-time students in
school. Benefits have been in-
creased until the minimum
monthly payments a retired
single person is $64 and the av-
erage Is $116. , The average
monthly payment to a widowed
mother with two children Is
$296.
The original law called for a
tax of 1 per cent of earnings
from both employees and em-
ployers, rising to 3 per cent by
1949. “Today,” McNatt said,
“with substantial increases in
benefits and .the number of de-
pendents protected—and with
addition of Medicare—the tax is
4.8 per cent;’'with the maximum
projected rate of 5.9 per cent.”
In the counties of Brown,
Mills, and Comanche, more than
9,100 people receive -monthly
checks, with 5,500 of them be-
ing in Brown County, 2,584 In
Comanche County, and 1,078 In
Mills County.
