McNutt Urges Broader Social Security Plan on Anniversary
Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt called for a widened social insurance system after eight years of the Social Security Act. He urged postwar readjustments and greater benefits funded by a possible extra payroll deduction, outlining a single national contributory program covering unemployment disability hospital costs old age and death for wage earners and their families. He noted 60 million workers have earned credits under the old program and cited $359 million in total payments from 1937 to mid-1940s with unemployment benefits declining from a peak in 1940 as more workers received payments in June this year.
