Social Security Hike Renders Mixed Benefits by Category
The Social Security office saw 300 elderly residents quiz why an eight percent boost applied to only some pensioners. Officials explained a 1972 two category system, where first category benefits rise, while the special category for low earnings received only one increase in 1973. The eight percent hike would blur lines, potentially pushing special category retirees above first category, negating any gain. Special category pensions range from 99 to 180 dollars monthly, depending on 20 to 30 years of work, with High Point area workers especially affected by low local wages.
