liceman became suspicious when
he saw two men struggling along
the highway with six heavy bags
at 2 a. m. The bags, an inspec

Social Security
Payments Increase
( continuée irum iirsi page)
Myron Milbouer, manager of the
social security district office in Wil
mington.
Jhe new payment rates were for
the month of September. At the
tim e the August checks were de
livered, about September 3. every
IT beneficiary received notice of the
forthcoming increases, with eau
: tion that he needed to take no action
i *9, secure the higher payments. All
-J I changes have been made automati
\ cally. in a huge book-keeping
I at ion carried out in the
i 8 °cial security payment centers
iover the country, and in the Trea
! sury disbursing offices which
pare and mail the checks.
•'•of Previous minimum payment
of |25 to a retired worker has gone
up to $30. The highest monthly pay
ment to a retired worker, previous
ly $85, has been raised to $98.50.
Comparable increases were made to
other retired workers.
"Dependents and survivors now
receiving monthly payments have
received proportionate increases."
Milbouer declared. The largest total
payment to a family was raised from
$168.5^0 to $200. As before., however,
the largest monthly benefit
able to a family cannot be more
than 80% of its insured worker's
average monthly earnings. In all
cases, all families received an in
crease of at last $5 monthly in their
total benefit payments.
The following table shows
