Actual
H.L.P.

Case
History

From June 1957 to May 1958, J. B. and his family were plagued by
a series of illnesses which ranged from arthritis to ulcers, They required
treatment from their regular H.LP. family doctor and from specialists
in internal medicine, surgery, urology and radiology. All these physi-
cians—members of one of the thirty-two medical groups affiliated with
H.L.P.—worked together as a team,

Twenty-four services in all were given to this 48-year-old civil service
employee, his wife and son during this one-year period. This care was
theirs without any cost beyond the premium—and without red tape,

claim forms, receipted bills, delayed reimbursements or limited fee
schedules,

J. B.'s case serves to demonstrate why H.I.P. members use their medical
groups so freely (75 per cent of H.1.P, enrollees see a doctor in a year
as compared with 57 per cent in the general city population), They
have the security of knowing they are “paid-up” private patients. They
have the constant assurance that comes from knowing they have com-
prehensive medical protection for the entire family, They know that
HLLP. is standing by—no matter how serious or prolonged the illness,

HL.P. members prepaid medical care
have no worry threugh group practice
over doctors’ bills ele e for private patients

A Revolt for Progress

LANS for recruitment of beginners in Federal techni-
cal, scientific and related fields, including a large
range of sub-professional jobs, stress as the primary de-
sire the hiring of recent college graduates. While not all
the examinations require a college degree, nothing more
than a college degree is necessary in many of them, while
in others a substantial equivalent in training with some
minimum amount of experience then an absolute necessity, |
is an alternative requirement.

In the Federal service entrance examination, the larg-|
est one the U.S. holds, and which is known colloquially as |
“the big one,” the accent is also on recent college gradu-
ates, Starting pay in a higher grade is to be offered soon,
with the obvious intention of attracting such candidates,
and appointing the cream of the erop. This action is taken
with a view to the future, since the appointees of today
will be the administrators and executives of tomorrow,
Moreover, the U.S. is overhauling its promotion system,
which has never been a model, though serviceable; more
of the competitive element, it is hoped, will govern pro-
motions. One day the whole Federal promotion system, |
for the run of jobs, will be competitive.

Poul Kyer, Bditor

No Money For Flirting

’ Federal officials are meeting in Washington, D.C., to
discuss improvement of college campus recruitment, The
College Federal Agency has been facing this problem for
years, with relatively good results, considering the limita-
tions. Private industry, the chief contender, has infinite
degrees of freedom of operation in this field, as in others,
The Federal government can't very well give cocktail par-
ties for groups of likely prospects, as industry does, nor
play host in a tour of the night spots, nor hold theatre
parties, nor offer in any of the many other inducements in |
which industry revels. Nor does the U.S, Civil Service
Commission have the latitude on pay, nor freedom to meet
higher demands on the spot, that industry enjoys. But the
US. can and does now pay travel expenses not only to the
job in which one is supposed to start, but of the possible
job, so that the prospect can meet those who would be his
or her fellow-employees, and see what are the housing
facilities, social life of the community, and the cultural
and amusement offerings.

Trend Toward Quality

The whole trend in the Federal government is toward
hiring better qualified employees. That is no reflection on
the employees hired in the past or who will be hired in the
next days or weeks or in months, before the cream-of-
the-crop plan is in full operation, Actually, it is about to |
go into operation in weeks, when eligibles on the new
Federal service entrance examination list begin to be hired
at $4,980, instead of the$4,040 more prevalent previously
The list is expected to be established next month,

The step the Federal government is taking may en-
gender a train of resistance. Some present employees
might feel that the induction of an elite corps of beginners
may injure their own promotion opportunities. Also, the
Commission may be tempted to pay more regard to non-
competitive — not promotion — hiring methods in seek-|
ing to tap the “dean's list’ as private industry does, On-
the-spot hiring, an insurmountable difficulty for the Fed-|
eral government now because of the necessity of passing |
an examination, and the unavoidable time gap between
interview and official eligibility, may turn out to be a Fed-
eval aim, too, Laws can be amended, whether they should
or should not be, while rules are easy to change.

The new step is bold and challenging. It may be the
forerunner of a revolution in recruiting beginners for
hard-to-fill jobs in the intellectual category,

examples, Much of the credit gons

It is time the City gave munici-
pal personnel administration the
attention it properly deserves.
While it is obvious that New York-
ers can be best served by resource-
ful jmaginative, competent, ethi-|
cal, economically-minded and |
public spirited civil servants, it is
equally obvious that these munici- |
pal employees must be given lead~- |
ership that possesses basic munt-
cipal pride and some socio-poli-
tical craftsmanship, New York
City is fortunate in having the
best talent in the world available
to its industries, commerce, edu-
cation and arts, and unfortunate |
in not being able to use more of
this native talent to serve in its
municipal agencies,

employee,

For example, after he completes
27 years of service, his basic re-
Urement annuity will be at least
half of his annual pay, based on}
the average of his high-five-year
average pay. After 35 years’ serv-|
ice, his annulty will be at least 66)
percent of his five-year average.
And should he continue to work |
for 41 years and 11 months or
longer, his Government will pay
him 80 percent of his five-year
salary average.

Disability Benefits

Tf disability interrupts the Fed-
eral employee's career, the third
promise from his Government is
that he will receive a guaranteed
income until after he recovers or
regains his ¢arning capacity, pro-
vided he has been employed at)
least five years. ‘This annuity will
be the lesser of (1) 40 percent of
his high five-year average salary,

or (2) an annuity computed ns
though he had worked until age
60, Of course, if the employee has
earned a larger annuity that the
guaranteed minimum, he would
receive his earned annuity. Too, if
the employee who becomes dis-
abled Is already age 60, the nor-
mal retirement age, his disability
annuity would be the amount he
would have received had he retired
without disability. No disability
annulty is terminated if an em-
ployee recovers or regains his
earning capacity after reaching
age 60,

‘The fourth promise {s made as
much to dependents as to the em-
ployee. It provides for an annuity
to survivors after the death of an
employee or retiree. Should an
employee die after five years of
service, the retirement system will
Provide an income for his family,
The widow of an employee receives
50 percent of the annuity to
which her husband would have
been entitled, and this is pald
immediately upon his death, with
no age requirement to be met by
the widow. Upon retirement, an
employee may elect to provide an
annuity for his surviving spouse.
This will reduce his retirement
check slightly, but the potential
benefits to the survivor greatly
outweigh this very slight cost, Ad-
ditional benefits are automntic-
ally provided by law for depend
ent children of deceased employ-
ees and retirees,

Although the above four prom-
ises are contained in present laws,
there Is a fifth promise, an im-
plied one, for over the years the
Government, by making nine ad-
justments since 1920 to bring an-
nuities paid closer in line with ad-
vances in the cost of living, has
shown the employee that he is not
forgotten after he retires.

was in 1956 and 1957. JIBK.

A disabled person who is at least |
age 50 may be eligible for disa-
bility benefits if he has 20 quart-
ers of coverage ‘about five years
of work covered by Social Security)
in the ten years Immediately pre-
ceding the date of onset of his
disability, If your only employ-
ment cover by Social Security was
in 1986 and 1957, you could not
have more than eight quarters of
coverage,

IF I RETIRE at age 55, how
much less will my Social Security
benefits be when I receive them
at age 65? E.

A specific answer cannot be |
given as the difference would de-
pend on the inquirer’s age and the
amount he earned {n employment

No. If you are within at least
three months of age 65 (age 62 |

your Social Security benefits
