Survivor Aid Left Unclaimed By Many Here A considerable number of widows, young, children and aged parents of workffi* persons who died between June, 1940, and September, 1950,'have failed to claim monthly benefits payable to them under a social security law change last year. This was announced yesterday by Victor Sadd. manager of the Washington District Social Secu lty Office. Mr. Sadd warned that those who do not apply for their bene fits before October 1 will not be able to receive benefits for all the months back to September, 1954,, the effective date of the new provision. Under this provision, monthly social security benefits may be paid to qualified survivors of workers who died between June. 1940, and September, 1950. if the deceased wage earner bad credit for as little as a year and a half of work under social security. Families of many of these workers applied for benefits at the time of the deaths but were informed thdV could not reoeive payments because, under the law as it stood then, the worker had not earned enough social security credit .to provide the survivors' benefits, according to the district manager. The change was widely an nounced, and many area resi dents have applied for the bene fits since September 1, 1954, Mr. Sadd reported. Monthly benefits under the provision may be paid to the gged widows of workers who had worked cm jobs under social security for at least a year and a half, to surviving children un der 18, and to their mothers. Where no widow children survive, payments can be made to aged parents, if the worker was providing their support. 10 Employes Honored At Navy Model Basin Ten employes of the Navy De« partment’s David Taylor Model Basin in nearby Maryland have received superior accomplish ment awards.
