OLD AGE INSURANCE GOES TO 900 WOMEN IN TWO COUNTIES Of the total number of persoitb in the Waukegan area receiving monthly Old-Age and Survivors Insurance payments, approximately 31 per cent are women, according to figures released by Bernard Barnett, manager of the local Social Security office. This means that more than 900 women are receiving these payments in the two counties served by the Waukegan office. Women today are increasingly taking their place In the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance system. As ihi indication of this, more than 13.SOO.OOO women who wqrk now have insured status under the Social Security Act. Not only are retirement payments made to women who work • + but wives and widows may receive monthly insurance benefits based on the wages earned by their huBbands. In addition to the monthly social insurance payments now being made to women, lump-sum death payments are paid to the family of the worker who dies when there is no one entitled to such monthly amounts. In ccse of the death of a woman who is employed under social security, this lump-sum may go to the widower or other member* of the family if there is no widower. The Waukegan office, Mr. Barnett said, is anxious for women to 'understand their rights under the Social Security Act. Persons wishing information should contact the local field office in .Room 4 of the post office building. * In Illinois it is customary for a farm owner to maintain one-half of division fences--usually the half on his right as he faces the division line from his property.
