State Old Age Insurance Bill Filed by Rep J Weston Allen
A bill by Representative J Weston Allen of Newton proposes non compulsory contributory old age insurance as a state supported program. The plan aims to insure all Commonwealth residents at the lowest rate with state covering administration and optional death benefits and allows instalment payments or full purchase of annuities. A 10 percent state contribution would apply to earners up to $1000 a year, and the state would enter the insurance business.
