New Social Security benefits raise checks for millions
The Social Security program increases old age and survivor benefits effective September with higher payments starting October 3. Retirees, survivors, and dependents gain from $5 to $80 monthly, while survivor and dependent increases range from 28 to 36 dollars monthly. Public assistance federal funding also rises for state payments. The bill, backed by administration supporters, passed after an initial setback and faces state-level implementation where federal boosts may require legislative action. The reform also extends wage credits for armed forces service since 1997 and adjusts benefit calculations, with minimum and maximum family benefits rising. The National Geographic Society notes crop risks facing watermelon growers from fungi and pests.

Government Goes To All Ends To Collect 66 Cents At Jamestown
Jamestown businessman Joseph W. Singnull reports ongoing government red tape over a 66 cent charge tied to a Jamestown Business College veteran affair. The Veterans Administration initially paid only part of student books for a September 1951 term, claiming full use of the loan. college officials sought the remainder, arguing the yearlong term did not justify full charges. The dispute centered on the proper allocation of 66 cents and the college’s attempt to collect it amid bureaucratic delays.
