Take Someone To Church With You This Sunday, Then YOU ALL COME TO THE MAYFAIR THOUGHT HIS GIFT I NEW SOCIAL SECURITY AMENDMENTS PROVIDE RECORD BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES The various provisions of the new Social Security law (1954 Amendments) are now all effective and they constitute the biggest thing that has happened in Social Security in years. THE NEW SOCIAL SECURITY PENSION PROGRAM AND LIFE INSURANCE POLICY 1. It will be possible for a retired employee and his wife to qualify for a combined monthly pension up to $162.80 per month, tax free. 2.

The family of a deceased employee (no matter how young at timt of death) will get monthly survivor payments up to $200 a month. The 1954 Amendments made a number of other changes in the Social Security law, which employees should understand. New methods of calculating average monthly earnings enable employees to qualify for higher benefits. Wages subject to the Social Security tax are raised from the previous limit of $3,600 per year to a new maximum of $4,200, commencing this year. Any person collecting Social Security benefits can earn up to $1,200 per year without losing benefits.
