Cedar Rapids Area Reaches Permanently Insured Status Milestone
Approximately 11,000 Cedar Rapids area residents will be permanently insured as the federal social security program marks its tenth year of operation this month. John W. Donnelly of the Social Security Administration notes insured workers born in 1892 or later with 40 quarters of covered employment will receive at least $10 monthly in retirement, with larger benefits tied to earnings. Many born before 1892 already meet insured status, having worked in covered positions for at least half of the period between 1937 and turning 65. More than 1,500 retired workers receive about $32,000 monthly through OASI, and about 700 widows and children receive over $3,000 monthly. An average of 70 claims are filed monthly in Cedar Rapids, up 27 percent from 1945. Donnelly stresses the program is insurance, not charity, with benefits payable to retired workers or survivors.
