MASS OLD AGE PLAN STARTS IN JANUARY
Government launches the social security old age program next month with monthly pensions for workers and dependents. It is estimated that in 1949 over 100 million dollars will be distributed to about 1 million people. Average benefits for singles, couples, and dependents are outlined, with a maximum of 25 dollars monthly under certain earnings conditions. The plan aims to provide a lifetime retirement annuity for workers aged 65 or older with sufficient prior earnings. Survivors receive supplementary benefits, and payments begin in February once January checks are issued.
