Billions Distributed By Social Security Program
Washington says the five year old Social Security program has distributed 3.0 billion dollars to the aged unemployed widows orphans and the blind. Approximately 50 million workers enrolled since 1935, with old age and survivors insurance paying 38 million to 102 941 people by mid year. unemployment benefits exceed 1.0 billion for insured jobless, and 5 million jobs were filled by the Employment Service in 1939 and early 1940. The board seeks to amend the law to protect benefits for those drafted and to aid poorer states in public assistance contributions.
