May Help in Farm Work During War
Nelsonville officials note that recipients of Social Security old age and survivors benefits may work in agriculture without affecting their benefits. Agricultural work is not covered employment under the Social Security Act, so retirees or survivors can take farm jobs during the war. About 30,000 Ohio recipients monthly, with many retirees likely to return to agriculture to aid the war effort. Local inquiries welcomed at the Nelsonville field office.
