The newly signed social security changes widen eligibility for many women and dependents. Beginning March 1968 checks may go to the child of a female worker who has died or become disabled if she is fully insured, regardless of recent work. Disabled widows and divorced wives may begin benefits at age 50 if severely disabled, with amounts ranging from about 50 to 82.5 percent of the deceased worker's benefit. Contacts with Scottsbluff social security office urged for eligibility guidance.
