Survey Cited

Commissioner Krone spoke
briefly concerning the importance
of the reclassification survey pre-
sently being done of all county,
town and village employees in
Suffolk. Management Services As-
‘aociates, Inc, a New York City
firm, was hired by the Suffolk
County Board of Supervisors in
July 1956 to survey and review
the present Civil Service steup
In Suffolk and to make recom-
mendations for improvement.

Commissioner Krone stated that
this survey Is not an unusual pro~

edure, and in fact should be done
in each approximately
5 years, She informed her
audience that the State Commis-
ls Jooking forward to the
release of the survey report and
is confident that the recommen-
dations will benefit all civil serv
lce employees in Suffolk, She ad-
vised the group that, “You, the
local civil service employees, are

of state government, and you
should never forget this.”

Appeal Reinstates
Woman Dismissed
As Security Risk

ABLANY, May 27 — The New
York State Civil Service Commis-
sion has ordered the reinstate-
ment with back pay of Miriam
Relf, stenographer in the New
York City Department of Hos~

pitals, dinmissed under the Se-
curity Risk Law.

The Commission has construed
the Security Risk Law to require
that “in order to Justify the dis-
missal of am employee from a se-
curity agency under the Security
Risk Law, it must appear not only
that he is of doubtful trust and
reliability, but also that in his po~
sition he is so situated that, by
sabotage, disclosure of confidential
infor mn or by other means, he
peril the security and de-
fense” of the nation and the state,

Miss Reif had appeaied to the
Commission for a review of the
determination of the Commission-
ec of Hospitals of New York City
dismissing her from her Job. The
luw provides the right to appeal,

The Department of Hospitals
was declared a security agency by
the State Civil Service Commission
in March, 1955. Miss Reif was su-
spended on July 1, 1955. Her serv-
joes were torminated effective
August 1, 1956.

The Commission, by unanimous
decision, ruled that there was no
evidence that her employment af-
forded her an opportunity to en-
danger the security of defense of
the nation and the State.

John F, Powe Prosident of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
elation, commented on the an-|
nouncement that Malcolm Wilson, |
Assemblyman from Westchester
County, had asked Governor Har-
riman to include in his call for)
the special session, legisiation to |
temporarily suspend the manda-
tory retirement provision of the}
State Retirement Law until So-
cial Security could be provided
for all public employees

“The Civil Service Employees
Association” said Mr, Powers,
“gives hearty approval to the sug-
gestion of Assemblyman Wilson.
We certainty hope that Governor
Harriman will see fit to include}
this legisiation tn the call for the
special session. Just before Gov-
ernor Harriman signed the Social
Security bill, the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association wrote the
Governor and asked him to urge
all department heads to seek ex-
tenaions of service for those em-
ployees who would be reaching the
retirement age this year, until
after signing of the Social Se-
curity contract. In a public reply
to the Assoclation’s letter, Gov-
Harriman said such pro-
cedure would be the policy of his|
administration during the period |
of the Social Security negotiations,

Assemblyman Wilson's sugges-

ther firms up this necessary step
and carries its operation to all
levels of state and local govern-
ment. While Governor Harriman
administratively could affect the
extension of employees’ service
beyond the compulsory retirement
age on the state level, it would
need legislation to affect such ex-
tensions among the employees of
the counties, cities, towns, and
villages.

“An amendment to the Retire-
ment Law” continued Mr, Powers
“as suggested by Assemblyman
Wilson would affect more than
160,000 members of the Retire-
ment System who are employees
of the local subdivisions.

“We would suggest, however,”
concluded Mr. Powers "that In the
proposed legislation the terminal
date of the temporary suspension
of the mandatory, retirement pro-
visions be April 1, 1958. This would
provide time to make thoroughly

gradually to the present 30% of

| or disease incurred in performance

ALBANY, May 27 — Two sub-
jects very much in the minds of
State employees — Health Insur-
ance and Social Security — were
given the “full treatment” by Ed-
word Meacham, Director of Per-
sonnel Services of the State Civil
Service Department, and Frank
Casey, CS.E.A. feld represetnt
tive, at a meeting of the Capital
District Conference on May 16
at the Guild House of All Saints
Cathedral in Albany,

Mr Meacham spoke on the pre-
sent status of the health insur~
lance program. He said that eleven
{of the fifty specifications sent out
to insurance carriers have been
returned and that final decisions
on the program are not in con-
tract form as yet. He pointed
out that specifications consist of
178 pages and that some 1080
\Mgures have to be calculated by
jearriers submitting bids. Mr,
| Meacham estimated that approx-
{mately 70,000 employees would
participate in the plan, which
should be in operation by at least

September
“Only recent; Mr. Mecham
sald, “specifications were changed

to include dependants of women.
This would result In an increase
of eight percent in the cost of
the plan.”

He emphasized that this might
result in many cases in the de-
pendant husband choosing the
State plan because it offered great-
Jer benefits than that of the comp-
jany under which he was insured
in private industry.

Three Points Discussed

| Mr, Meacham ¢laborated on the
three phases of the plan—hosp-
italization, basic medical and sur-
gical services and extended medl-
cal coverage—and said that bene-
fits would be limited to not more
than $7.500 in one year and $15,-
000 during a lifetime. He implied
that the State would contribute
50 percent towards individual

coverage and that tt had not been |

determined what percentage would
be paid towards family coverage.

Eligibility has been a big stum-
bling block in setting up the plan,
he said, but tne present concept
is that anyone holding = perm-
anent or continuing appointment
status will be eligible to partic-
tpate.

A discussion on the floor con-
cerning the “inclusion of depen-
dants of females” in the plan re-
sulted in the setting up of a
Conference committee to invest-/
gate the matter. Richard Barrell, |
Motor Vehicle Bureau, was named
chairman and members appoint-
ed were: Estelle Rogers, Law; Mar-
garet Mahoney, Public Service:
Bernice LaRosa, Motor Vehicle;
Edith Caravatta, Correction; Paul
Powers, Motor Vehicle,

Following Mr. Meacham’s talk,
Frank Casey urged every State
employes to take advantage of the
opportunity being given at the
present to add Social Security to
his retirement benefits,

“Practically every employee
stands to gain by joining Social
Security," Mr. Casey sald, He gave
an opinion that the system would
be In complete operation by the
fall.

Mr, Casey sald that those who
indicate they want Social Security
would be required to take six
quarters of retroactive coverage
for which they would have to
pay up to $180. This could be pald
in a jump sum, could be borrow-
ed from the Retirement System
or, for those who had overextend-
ed themselves in their borrowing,
could be deducted from Retire-
ment with no obligation to pay
it back, he added.

The employee would have 2%
percent deducted from his pay-
check towards Social Security and
the State would contribute 214
percent, he said. This would apply
on Salaries to $4,200 and the em-
ployee could, lf he preferred, h:
it deducted from his Retirement.

Mr. Casey and Mr. Meacham
participated In a question and an-
swer forum following their talks,

A Pitch For Baseball

James Greg, Tobin Packing
Company representative, address
ed Conference delegates on be-
half of the Albany Baseball Boost~
ers Committee whose mission was,
as he expressed it ‘to keep good

ed, it would be extremely dificult
to acquire the physical properties
necessary for another franchise,

Stir Up Local Government

HE State's policy on Social Security for its own em-

ployees is an excellent one for local governments to
follow. But local governments show no sign of following it.
Employee organizations must get busy on retroactive cover-
age.

There are some points at which local governments may
exercise independent choice, even though in a broad sense
the Social Security pattern is set by Federal law, The main
point of independent choice relates to retroactive coverage.

Locai government has the same choice the State had,
of providing six quarters, four quarters or no quarters of
retroactive coverage. The State liberally provides six quar-
ters. New York City shows no sign of providing any retro-
tive coverage, Other local governments are in the same
category,

At least New York City did provide $4,250,000 in its
new budget for its share of current Social Security tax, but
some other local governments have not made any pro-
vision, thus leaving Social Security for their employees high
in the air, no matter how the vote goes in a referendum.

State Lends a Hand

In this issue of The Leader a brochure of the State
Social Security Agency is reprinted. Included is a table of
addresses of local offices. Employees of local government,
through their own organizations, should make sure that the
local legislative body utilizes the information assistance that
the State’s local offices provide and that the local legis-
lators become impressed with the necessity of providing
retroactive coverage. December 31 is the deadline. Time is
running out, Unless something is done quickly, nothing
along this line will be accomplished,

The retroactive provision would be particularly bene-
ficial to those at or near the Social Security retirement age
of 62 for women, 65 for men, But it would benefit others,
too, It would provide many thousands of employees with
the opportunity of earlier retirement under Social Security
because the required quarters — which do not, by the way,
coincide with calendar quarters — would be attained all
the sooner, In any event, the minimum retirement ages
would have to be reached,

Once fully insured status is acquired, retirement on
reaching minimum age becomes possible, The amount of
the Social Security pension would depend on salary, For
maximum primary benefit of $108.50 a month the salary
would have to be $4,200 or more, for the number of years
encompassed by the required number of quarters.

The inviting benefit of retroactivity is one the employees
of local government should be ready to fight hard to win.
They can not fight long. The time left is only seven months
to accomplish the overall purpose. The time for gaining
even assurances of retroactive coverage is much, much less,

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

MENTAL HYGIENE
AIMS DISCUSSED
Editor, The Lender:

Recently, employees of Roch-
ester State Hospital passed a
resolution urging that the Civil
Service Employees Association
and the CSEA Western Confer-
ence do all In thelr power to-
ward upgrading State hospital
attendants from Grade 4 to 8,
if needs be through a general ap-
peal to the State Classification
and Compensation Board:

Legislation on Social Security
and Health insurance is admit-
tedly progressive.

The Mental Hygiene employ-
ees appreciate also the Lepisla-
ture’s enactment of such legis-
lation as a shorter work week
and a salary increase for those
working the 40-hour week.

40-Hour Week

Tt appears that in 1958, ain
election year, the 40-hour week
for institutional employees will
be an assured thing. However,
if the Governor follows the ex-
isting pattern, thousands of
Mental Hygiene Department em-
ployees, for the third consecutive
year, will receive no actual sal-
ary increase, The shorter work
week has been a long time com-
ing but we can't eat shorter
hours—we need moncy.

‘This in no way takes away any
of the appreciation of the As-
Soclation efforts in behalf of the
Mental Hygiene employee. a7
merely points out the next and
most important gonl for nides
in this department.

The plight of the Mental Hy-
giene attendant is of utmost im-
portance. Low salaries, high liv-
ing costs, higher personnel qual-
ifications, low morale—all these
have caused an alarming turn-
over of personnel. How can the
State expect an attendant to live
on $53 a week—actually, about
$43 a week after deductions?

Attendant Pay too Low

How can we expect to ade-
quately train and develop career
employees when so little money
4s offered for the position of at-
tendant? It is foolish to think
that we can.

The continuous turnover ts not
conducive to good patient care
and is a hardship on the perm-
anent career emloyee, It is ex-
pensive for the State to examine,
X-ray, do laboratory work on,
train and process thousands of
employees a year, It borders on
the edge of crisis when so many
employees leave state service
during their first year or so for
more lucrative positions,

Tt {s our firm conviction that
the only way to help alleviate
this condition; to recruit and
hold mental hygiene employees is

Two Types of Coverage
Under Social Securiiy

THERE ARE TWO TYPES of insurance under Social Security
fully insured and currently Insured,

To be fully Insured one must have been covered by Social Se-
eurity for half the time since January 1, 1953,
retires or becomes disabled, For men the minimum retirement age
fa 65, for women 62, Women who retire at 62 to 64 get proportionately

until one dies or

Jess than they would receive had they waited until 65, The reduced | at Jeast $4200 0 year for the re~|80 to the majority, incuding the

amount remains permanent,
Another way of becoming fully Insured Is to have at least 40
quarters of coverage (10 years),

Only those who are fully insured are entitled to receive @ pen- | year, but as the flgure i now $4,~ 97Y committees. T think that the | attain deserved ¢

inside Story of

Freshman

‘ By H. J.

A FRESHMAN LEGISLATOR
reports that being an Assembly-
man is a full-time job, even
though the session Insts only three
months.

Every Monday and Thursday he
has to be at his political club-
house, to listen to what his con-
stituents ask and recommend.
He has to attend hearings by
public bodies on topics that may
be the subject of proposed legis-
lation at the next session. He
must attend Innumerable social
and political events, He has to
keep his ear cocked and his eyes
open for projects that he chould
advocate at the next regular ses-
sion In the public Interest, He
has to guard against the incessant
invitations to go out on a limb
At $7,500 a year and $1,000 ex-
penses, an Assemblyman, who has
to finance much of the cost of
his own campaign for relection,
ive at a good hotel while in Al-
bany, and even, as this year,
perhaps attend an extra session
at no additional salary, must
economize, or he'll find his elective
office expensive. What his work in
the Legislature does promise, if
he's successful, Is a rise on the

political ladder, No legislator is |

averse to that,

Complimented by Harriman

Samuel A Spiegel, Manhattan
Democrat, whose wife is co-lead-
er of a Democratic clib in Man-
hattan, reports all these facts as
the experience that he underwent
or that continues. But he's glad
of the opportunity to be a mem~-
ber of the Legislature, Election
guarantees him still another ses~
sion.

Having been active in polities
previously, he knew his way a-
round. He was able, though a
member of the Minority party, to
get two bills passed, which Goy-
ernor Averell Harriman not only
signed on Mr, Spiegel's birthday,
but complimented him for hav-
ing Introduced, One of them relat
ed to giving persons in a neighbor-
hood where a public housing pro-
Ject goes up the opportunity to
@pply for an apartment. The other
throws the State armories open,
free, to religious, civic,
and other organizations in thelr
efforts to fight juvenile detin-
quency.

“It's unusual fo* a bill intro-
duced by a member of the Minor~
ity to be passed by the Republi-
can-controlied Legislature," said
Mr. Splegel. "I introduced the
bills in the Assembly, and Sen-
ator Joseph R. Marro, Democrat
also from Manhattan, introduced
them in the Upper House.”

“Did they go through like greas-
ed = ghtning?"
Spiegel was asked.

solemnly, "At first I could not get

the Benate, respectively, and that
this should be done nationally

that the voters In the districts

City does not get its fair share
from the Legislature.”

“While you were in Albany did
you have an opportunity to meet
Governor Harriman personally

SAMUEL A, SPIEGEL

and, if so, what kind of a fellow
is hee”

“Oh, yes. The Governor gives
dinner parties, and holds other
social sessions, for legislators
alone, who have an opportunity
to see him up close. On some
occasions he entertains the Major-
ity members (Republicans), and
on others the Minority, but not
& mixed company, and in our
case ‘own additionally there were
separate occasions for the legis-
lators from each of the five coun-
es of New York City to be his
guests. Governor Harriman is per=
sonally a most charming and en-
taging host, When it comes to
knowledge of public affairs, whe-
ther national, City, or State, he's
jexceptionally well informed.”

“Do any of the legisintors know
him well enough to call him Ave?

“Nobody calls him Ave except
some newspapers, Even his wife
doesn't call him Ave.”

“What do you call him?"

“Governor.”

“what does he call you?”

200, which now determines wheth-
er maximum retirement benefit ts
obtainable, The law permits drop-
ping out up to five years, which
need not be consecutive, Therefore
the four years, 1951-54 inclusive
may be ignored, and one addition-
al year, with the years thereafter
being applied, If the salary was
at least $4,200 ench year, then
maximum pension benefits would
apply.

Counting half the time since
January 1, 1951, and considering
thone who now are or by January
1, 1958 would be of retirement
age, they would require at least
six quarters to be fully insured.
‘They would have to show at least
94.200 sulery « year for that year
end a half, for maximum primary
benefit. If the salary is less, then
the pension is less, about propor-
tionately,

Six Quarters Minimum

At lenst

quarters of co’

age are needed for one to be fully |

insured,

When one is fully insured, not
enly does the pension benefit

benefits to survivors.

One is “currently insured” If he
has at least six quarters of cover-
age out of the last 13 quarters,
ineluding the quarter in which
death occurs. Not all kinds of
benefits apply when one Is cur-
rently insured, fer instange not re~

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

1 AM A WOMAN, and will be
ave 62 in August, I hear
conflicting stories about women's
benefits belng reduced by ws much
ts 25 or 20 percent ff they file
for benefits at age 62. Which is
correct?

A woman who does not quality
for benefits on her own account
may be entitled to wife's bene-
fils which may be reduced by ax
much a# 25 percent, If a woman
become entitied to oldsnge bene-
fits based on her own work re-
cord, the reduction for filing at
age 62 would be 20 percent, How-
ever, If ® woman hot enlitied to
benefits on her own work record
files for benefits as a widow, there
will be no reduction at
benefit amount

Counsel's Social Security Report:

(Two tmportant articles on So-
alal Security are presented In the
eolumns below. One is a report
oa the subject by John Kelly, Jr..
Associate Counsel for the Civil
Service Employees Association.
‘Thie report is followed by » beo-
chure prepared by the State Bo-
otal Security Agency, Association

wave theae
which answer many of the prob-
lems connected with Soctal Se-
curity. The Editor.)

BY JOHN KELLY, JR.
ASSOCIATE COUNSEL,
CIVIL SERVICE
EMPLOYEES ASSN.

The subject of Social Security
for public employees is taken out
of order from the annual Legis~
Iative Report of Counsel which
will appear in succeeding tssues
of The Leader.

Because of its inherent Interest
to the future well being of public
employees and their families and
because of the legal complexity
of the subject matter, tt is safe
to say that there ts no subject
iter which is presently of as

t Interest to publlo employees
as the tree Of Soctal Security,

Background

The recent history of Old Age
and Survivors Insurance for public
smployess (popularly referred to
es Socin] Security) probably be-

ins with the 1950 amendments

the Federal Law, Prior to that
time the coverage of public er-
loyers was prohibited by Federal

ww. In 1950 it was proposed thot
public employees be covered by
Gocial Security, Oddly enough. at
least to employees in New York
@ats, the proposal met wide
apread objection from most of
the public employee organizations
of the other 47 States. The op-

tion was based on a fear that

ial Security coverage would
either be # substitute for non-
existent retirement provisions, or
tn those states which had retire-
ment coverage for public employ-
ane that Social Security coverage
would ‘be the first step toward
@liminating existing retirement
aysiems,

Then, as now, public employees
In New York State did not sub-
scribe to the fear since our pib-
flo Retirement Systems are pro-
tected by the Constitution of the
Biate of New York and the extst-
ing benefits of the Retirement
@ystem could never constitution~
ally be taken away from present
members, It ts true that retire-
ment benefits could be reduced,
oonstitutionally, for new employ-
ees, but the best informed sources
feel that the addition of Soctal
Gecurity will not affect this re-
mote possibility one way or the
other.

As a result of the widespread
opposition the 1950 amendment
to the Federal Law did not per-
mit participation by members of
public Retirement Systems in the
Social Seourity plan.

By 1053 the Federal Law per-
mitted persons who were not
eligible to be members of public
Retirement Systems %o be covered
by Social Security. The 1959 Log-
islature utilized this change in
Poderal Law and passed legista-
tion which permitted employees
who were not eligible for a pub-
Ue Retirement System to be cov-
ered by Social Security. At the
Present time over 10,000 Siute
employees and 100,000 local em-
ploypes are covered by Soctal Se-
curity under these provisions.

Amendments to the Federal Law
tm 1954 permitted for the frst
time members of public Retirement
Bystems to be covered by Social
Security Mo more than half the
members of the System voted in
favor of such coverage,

Amendments to the Federal Law
to 1956 permit members of public
employee Retirement Systems
ia New York and several other
wal o have an individual per-
agonal election as to whether or
not they wish to be covered by

tal Security, The mechanics
ie obtaining the personal elec~
toa are somewhat complicated
nd will therefore be discussed in

Ma appropriate place below when

discussing the State Social Se-
curtty Bill.
‘The Bill Itself

‘The bill which became Chapter
776 of the Law of 1957 opens with
a declaration of legisative policy
which states that all public em-
ployees and thelr dependents are
entitled to Social Security pro-
tection, that such protection
should be provided to public em-
ployees whether or not they are
members of public Retirement
Systems, and specifically provides
that the extension Social Security
coverage will not tmpair the rights
of any such employees In any pub-
Ne Retirement System.

Referendum, Individual Choice

‘The referenda provisions of the
Social Security Law are the most
x and most significant por-
of the bill for tife public
emaloyee, Ax mentioned above the
1958 Pederal legislation permitted
what results in an Individual
election by each member of « pub-
lic employee Retirement System
as to whether or not he wishes
Social Security, The 1957 State
Law takes advantage of this pro-
visian, ‘The Individual selection ts
achieved in this manner. An in-
formal ballotting of the members
of the various Retirement Systems
will be held to determine whether
or not the individual meraber
wishes Social Security, Those who
indivate that they wish Soctal Se-
curity will constitute those groups
for which formal referenda must
oe held under Federal Law, Those
who indicate that they do not wish
Social Security will be excluded
from the formal referenda and
will of course not receive Social
Security coverage.

While the federal law still re-
Quires that each referendum re-
walt in a majority “yes” vote, it
can easily be seen that this con-
stitutes no obstacle since all of
those in the formal referenda will
be persons who have already in-
dicated that they wish Social Se-
curity. Obviously the result of the
formal referendum will be an
almost unanimous “yes” vote of
those who wish Social Security.

Coverage of Non-Members

As Indicated above the 1953 leg-
islation made it possible to cover
persons who were ineligible for
| membership In public Retirement
Sytems. The 1957 legislation takes
care of those who sre members
of public Retirement Systems.
There is a third group which the
1957 legislation alxo considers and
that ts the group who are pre-
wntly eligible for membership tn
» Retirement System but who haye
| not availed themselves of the right
to become members of such Sys-
|tem, With respect to this group the
lemisiation provides that they shall
become Ineligible for membership
in a public Retirement System if
they have not Joined such system
atior to the date on which an a-
areement is signed with the Fed-
era! Social Security Agenoy grant-
ing Social Security coverage to the
members of the system for which
| they were previously eligible, This
is done for the specific and sole
purpose of permitting them to be
covered by Social Security.

The Jaw then provides that
those who are ineligible for mem-
bership in ® Retirement System
as of the date of the execution
of an agreement will be covered
by Social Security, Tt is extremely
eely that further legislation next
year will restore eligibility to join
® public Retirement System to
“hose whose eligibility has been
taken away for the sole purpose
of granting them Social Security
Coverage.

The net result of the above ts
‘hat all public employees who are
fot members of a public Retire-
ment System in this State (except
policemen and firemen as noted
below) will recetve Social Security
coverage whether they wish it
or not

Policemen and Firemen

The Federal Law presently ex-
cludes policemen and firemen
from eligibility for Social Secur-
ity. As this is written the Associa-
Hon bs in the midst of negotiations
through which it ts hoped the
Federal Law will be amended to
permit coverage of policemen
and firemen by Social Security,

The Legislature anticipated the
possibility that the Federal Law
iy be and provided in

the Social Security bill that If the
Pederal Law jx amended referenda
of police and fire groups, sub-
stantially identical to those pro-
vided for other employees, shall be
held and Social Security coverage
made available to policemen and
firemen at the earliest possible
moment that the Federal Law per-
mits,

Modified Supplementation

Those employees who wish to
do so may of course pay the em-
ployee portion of the Social Se-
curity, tax in addition to their
present contributions to the Re-
trement Syatem and in such event
their Social Security benefits will
be completely separate from and
completely in addition to their re-
Urement benefits.

Some employees, however, may
feel for good reason or bad that
they do not wish to contribute
any additional amount toward
thelr ultimate retirement. For
these employees the option of
Modified supplementation ts pro-
vided. This option permits any em-
ployee who is contributing to a
public Retirement System to elect
to pay his portion of the Social
Security tax from his contribu-
tions to his Retirement System.
Tn such event of course his an-
nulty accotint is reduced by the
amount of contributions that go
toward Social Security and his
ultimate retirement — allowance
from the public ‘Retirement
System reduced to the extent that
those contributions are used for
Social Security. The pension por-
tion will not be reduced and the
Social Security benefits will be in
addition to his retirement allow-
ance.

CHI)

The above discusston ts of fair-
ly general application to all pub-
Me employees. There are however
certain differences among groups
of public employees which can
heat be treated separately,

‘Teachers

Members of the State Teachers
Retirement System who are State
employees will have the individual
election as to whether or not they
wish Social Security exactly as
described above, However, mem-
bers of the State Teachers Retire-
ment System who are not State
employees will receive Social Se-
curity only if a majority of all such
employees whe are members of the
Teachers Retirement System shall
vote in favor of Social Security
coverage, If # majority of all such
teachers vote favorably for So-
clal Security those who wish tt will
obtain it and those who indicated
that they did not desire coverage
will not receive it. The reason for
the separate treatment of teachers
{s because some of the Teacher
Associations indicated that they
Opposed Social Security coverage
for their members unless a major-
ity of all the teacher members
voted favorably. . Conversely, if
less than a majority of all the
teacher members vote favorably,
no teachers will receive Social Se-
curity (except those employed by
the State),

State Employees

All State employees who will be
covered by Social Security under
the bill will have such coverage
on a basis providing retroactive
coverage of substantially aix
quarters prior to the date on
which the agreement with the
Pederal Social Security Agency
is reached.

Since it is a virtual cortainty
that the agreement for State em-
ployees will be executed in Sep-
tember of this year this means
that the retroactive Social Secur-
ity coverage for State employees
will cover all State employment
on and after March 16, 1956.
There ts no option for the State
employee as to whether or not
he wishes retroactive coverage, If
he elects to receive Social Security
he must take the retroactive cover-
axe.

The Law also permits the State
employee to pay for his retroactive
coverage either in cash or by
electing to have the cost of the
retroactive coverage deducted
from his annuity account, such
employee 18 not required to, but
may, If he wishes, repay such
amount to his annuity account,

Political

5
Each political subdivision must

extend Soclal Security coverage to
two classes of employees:

1. Those who are not eligible
for membership in any Public Re-
tirement Syatem (except those for
whom the State Director of Social
Security determines Social Secur-
ity is impracticable in accordance
with the Federal Law).

2. Those who are members of a
Public Retirement System and
who wish Social Seourity coverage
(except as above noted for police~
men and firemen and the special
provisions applicable to members
of the Teachers Retirement Sys-
tem),

The only discretion which ts re-
posed in the governing body of
each political subdivision, includ
ing school districts, is to determine
whether coverage for its employees
shall be effective on the date an
agreement is signed, or with four
quarters retroactivity, or with six
quarters retroactivity. The govern-
ina body of each political sub-
division has already been sent by
the State Social Security Agency
resolutions in which they elect
whichever of the three options
concerning retroactivity they de-
sire,

Because of the necessary ad-
ministrative step required by the
Law of canvassing the subdivi-
sions as to the extent of the retro-
activity which they destre prior to

tthe time when the rerular refer-

enda are taken, In all likelihood
tf will be impossible to effectuate
agreements for the polictical sub-
divisions prior to the beginnine of
the lest calendar quarter of 1957.
In this event the earliest retro-
active date on which coverage for
all local employees can be effec-
tive is June 16, 1956,

In all fairness it should be
pointed out that it was not the
desire of the State, the Leisiature
or the State Social Security
Agency to delay coverage for em-
plovers of the polttical subdivi-
sions.

As a matter of fact all of the
necessary forms were devised and
distributed to the political sub-
divisions before the procedures for
coverage of State employees were

even begun, As a practical matter,
however, the necessary additionat
administrative steps with respect
to the politica! subdivisions makes
it Impossible to hone to effectuate
coverare prior to October Ist,

Again, of course, those em-
Ployees in the political subdivi-
sions who contribute to a public
retirement system may take ad-
vantage of modified supplemen-
tation and may also pay for such
retroactive coverage as they may
receive from thelr annuity account
with such Retirement System if
they so desire.

Benefit of Retroactive Coverage

Retroactive coverage Is of major
importance to two groups of
people. The first of these is those
persons who have reached 65 years
of age or who will reach age 65
in the next several yeras, With
fespect to these people a minimum
of six quarters of coverage ts re-
quired to permit them to receive
Social Security retirement benefits,

Thus, anyone who has reached
age 65 at the time the agreement
with the federal agency Js executed

and who benefit from six quarters |

retroactive coverage to March 16,
1956 can immediately retire and
recetve Social Seourity benefits of
$108.50 per month if their retro-
active coverage In each of the two
calendar years 1956-57 amounted
to the full Social Security amount
of 64,200, Persons who reach re-
tirement and social security ags of
65 in the next several years will
receive the benefits of the retro-
active quarters and thereby be en-
abled to retire with full Soctal
Security benefits as soon as they
teach age 65 provided their retro~
active coverage was effective in
the frat quarter of 1956. If the
retroactive. coverage ls not effec-
tive in the first quarter of 1956,
depending on the age and effec~
tive date of the individual, it will
be necessary for them to work In
covered employment for a short
time after age 65, but in any event
the necessary working period for
wach persons will be much shorter
than if they did not have the re-
troactive coverage,

The second group to whom re~
troactive coverage should be par+

ticularly attractive ts that group
of persons who have dependents
within the meaning of the Social
Security Law, One becomes in-
sured for the survivors benefits
under Social Security when one

signed, The survivors benefits, for
example, for a man with a wife
and several minor children may
Amount to as much as $200, per
month until the children reach
age 18 and in some cases would
provide Social Security benefits
amounting to as much as $70,000
to the insured’s dependents. To
be able to purchase this kind of
insurance coverage for a maxi-
mum cost of about $178.00 for
next 18 months shows on {ta face
the extremely attractive life insur-
ance advantage that retroactive
coverage offers to those with de-
pendents within the meaning of
the Social Security Law,

CSEA Recommendation as to
Soclal Security

The Association officially and
the writer personally recommends
to all public employees that they
take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to obtain Soctal Security
coverage based on their public em-
ployment. Por those who wish to
and are able to pay the additional
Amount under the full supplemen-
tation option Social Security bene-
fits will both increase your depen-
dents protection in the event you
die before retirement and furnish
a substgntial and worthwhile ad-
dition to the retirement programs
of those who live to age 65.

Even more important, for those
who are not able to or do not wish
to pay the additional amount,
there {s the option of modified
supplementation which requires no
additional expenditure on the part
of the employee over his present
required contributions to his Re-
tirement System.

We have worked out a variety of
cases and have attempted to antl-
clpate all possible contingencies
and have been unable to find a
single case where the Social Secur-
ity tax will purchase less for the
employee than would be purchased
by this same amount of money
left in the Retirement System.

Among these cuses were those
of young persons in their twenties,
of widows whose deceased hus-
bands had Soclal Security cover-
age and of working women whose
husbands also have full Social
Security tax would produce a
Breater additional amount (even
though the person for one reason
or another 1s already entitled to
some Social Security benefits)
than would the same amount pur-
chase in annuity at the time of
retirement.

Tt ts certainly our earnest
recommendation that no indivi-
dual should reject the opportunity
to obtain Social Security coverage
until he has carefully studied his
problem and has obtained the ad-
Vice of federal Social Security
experts Indicating to him that
such coverage would not be to his
advantage.

We conclude this report by re-
printing with the permission of
the Chief of the State Social
Security Agency, Edward G. Soren-
son, the State's brochure entitled
“Social Security Coverage For
You" which answers many of the
Reneral questions relating to So-

cial Security and the State em-
ployee,

NOTE: The following applies par-
titoularly to State employees and
will differ tn some details with
Fespect to those who are employees
of political subdivisions rather
than the State, A copy of the fol-
lowing will be furnished each State
employee with the notice of reter-
endum and ballot on which he
makes his election as to whether
he wishes Social Security or not.

Social Security
Coverage For You

Brochure Issued by State
Social Security Director,

Social Security as used here
means the old-age and survivors
insurance system that is adminis-
tered by the Federal Social Secur-
ity Administration. It has been
a part of American life since 1937,
and now provides insurance for
nearly all American families.

‘What Social Security adds up to
‘s protection for you and your
family, You “save up" for this
protection during your working
years by making tax contributions
to the Social Security fund. Your
employer—in this case it is the the
State — contributes an equal
amount.

What Will It Do For Me?

Social Security provides pay-
ments to eligible retired or dis-
abled employees and the members
of thelr families, or payments to
thelr survivors.

What Will It Cost?

.«. To Get You Started: From
the’ moment the State - Federal
agreement becomes effective for
State employees you will be cov-
ered for a retroactive period of
15%) months. If, as ts expected.
the necessary agreement to cover
State employees is completed by
September 30, 1957, you will be re-
quired to pay in a Jump sum the
contributions due forthe retro-
active period plus the amount due
for the Jaly-Septembr quarter.

Here's how you could make your
payments:

1. A direct payment tn the full
amount to the State Social Secur-
ity Agency.

2. You could authorize « trans
fer of the amount from your re-
tirement system annuity fund to
the State Social Security Agency.
You could later pay back the an-
nuity fund if you wished,

The following table will show
you approximately how much you
would have to pay if you decided
to receive Social Security coverage.
Your personne! office will inform
you of the exact amount

if your then you'd pay a
salary is Jump sum of about
82.00
$89.00
114.00
131.00
137.00
147.00
164.00
173.00
5,600, or more 178.50
++» To Give You “Current Cover-
age": When you have paid for
your retroactive coverage, you and
your employes — in this case the
State — will thereafter pay for
Social Security coverage in equal
amounts, At the present time each
Pays 2\4 per cent of your gross
salary up to $4,200. in a calendar
year, which means you would not
pay more than $94.50 In any one
year,

In 1960 the contribution rate
Will be raised to 2% per cent and
will be raised % per cent every
five years after that until tt reach-
es 454 per cent in 1975.

How Do I Qualify for Benefits?
To get monthly payments for
yourself and your family or for
your survivors in case of your
death, you must have been in
work covered by Social Security
for ® certain length of time. Social
Seourity work time 1s measured in
“quarters of coverage,” These are
Eree-mioneh perlods beginning the
rst of January, April,
cated y, Ap July and

You get credit for each calendar
Quarter in which you receive at
Joast $50.00 in wages. Wages of
$4,200. or more paid any time in
one year give you four calendar
quarters of credit,

Your insured status — that ts,
the extent to which you are elig-
ible for benefits depends on the
number of these calendar quarters
you have to your credit, For ex-
ample:

You are “currently inwured” if—

you have at least six calendar
quarters of coverage within the
Preceding three years

You are “fully insured" if-—

1, you have been credited with

40 oF more quarters of employ-
ment

OR
2, you have credit for at toast
> ball the pumber of quarters from

January 1, 195) to the date you
reach retirement age or die (if you
reach 21 after Ji 1, 1081,
the period is meas from your
2ist birthdate,

3. you have credit at retire-
ment age or when you die for all
quarters except four, since Jan-
wary 1, 1055.

‘This third point is made to order
for State employees close to the
social security retirement age:
what it setually means is that a
worker will be considered fully in~
sured at retirement age or at
death if he has credit for all
calendar quarters starting with
the March quarters of 1956 — the
same quarter that (it Is expected)
will begin coverage for State em-
ployees.

As you can see, there is a dif-
ference between being currently
insured and fully insured. There's
a difference, too, in the benefits
you can receive under each type
of insured status. One or the other
or, for that matter, sometimes
both are required for the payment
of benefits. clow is # list of retire-
ment, survivors’, and disability
payments that can be made under
various types of insured status:
What Decides Amount of Benefits?

Just as your right to benefits ts
based on the length of time you've
worked under Social Security, so
the amount of those benefits ts
based on your average earnings,

Genernily, benefits are computed
starting with the January 1, 1951
period. But an important part of
the Federal law gives authority to
forget up to five years in which
you earned little or nothing at all
in employment covered by social
security, Por most State workers,
the actual period used to doter-
mine the amount of benefits will
start with January 1, 1956.

Here ts how this works out to
the advantage of the State em-
ployee! it means that a public em-
ployee who has full wage credit
of $4,200. for each calendar year
starting in 1966 could become
eligible for the maximum monthly
payment of $108.50, with as litte
as six quarters work credit, or
with as many quarters as mre
needed to make him eligible. A
spouse could receive an additional
Deymant of $54.30 at the age of

Briefly, benefits to be paid a
retired worker at the age of 65
are 55 per cent of the first $110.00
of average monthly earnings. plus
20 per cent of the next £240,000.
The smallest amount payable to
such a worker (* $30.00; the largést
amount {s $108.50,

Payments to your eligible de-
pendents or survivors are based
on the amount that is payable or
would be payable to you. The
total monthly payment to a fam-
ily, including the retired worker,
may be as much as $200, or 80
per cent of the average monthly
earnings, whichever 1s lower,

There are many more factors
that would help decide the amount
payable to you, your family or
your survivors under Social Secur-
ity. If you have questions concern-
ing your particular circumstances,

do not hesitate to call or visit

MENTAL HYGIENE MEMO

By A. J. COCCARO
THE PROGRAM GREW

December, 1 a circular letter from the Department of Mental
Hygiene stated that “it is the policy of the Department that oocupa-
tional therapy should be made avaliable to every patient who can

benefit from it," As early ax 1948, under the general supervision of
he sup , occupational therapy instructors were assigned full
charge o T. shops and centers and given full responsibility for

planning and assigning of individual projects and carrying out medic-
ally prescribed objectives of treatment,

Tn the years that progressed these were asked to
attend evening courses, lectures, and tr training programs
They were assigned to super e new aides in the department. Student
and affiliate nurses were assigned to O. T, areas under experience
occupational instructors to be oriented in the role of occupational
therapy as part of the overall treatment for the psychiatric patient

These instructors were given the responsibility for designing and
supervising the makigg of costumes for various patient shows. Their
assignment also included setting up exhibits for different hospital

projects during the year. rough the hospital volunteer program
they came in contact with the community and have become part of
the hospital public relations program. Other duties now include

working with family care programs,
grams, ing with boy and girl scout troops, spectal treatment
areas, assisting with repairs and aign-palnting, and orienting newly
graduated occupational therapists.
