ties of two or more states, Sen,
Irving Ives amended this bill when
it feached the Senate by adding
to it a provision for extension of
coverage to police and firemen of
New York, Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia, The bill was reported
favorably by the Senate Finance
Committee and was passed on

Assocation Activity

‘The Civil Service Employe
Association played m leading rola
in securing this vital employee
benefit for the two groups.

Mr, Powers, CSEA president,
had been urging coverage for fire
and police — on the implementa
tion basis — as long as he had
been advocating it for other pub-
Uc employees.

Together with John Kelly, Jr.
Association counsel, Mr, Powers
spoke before employee associations
for the fire and police aides to
give them a fuller understanding
of how beneficial an addition So-
clal Security would be to their
present retirement set-up.

Later, the CSEA, the State Fire
Fighters Association and the Po-
licemen's Benevolent Association
Joined together to plead the case
before Congress. Telegrams were
vent to Congressmen and Senators

from New York State as well
other legislators

Many of the Jegilators wired
the Association their immediate

Inflation and Pensions

“Living Costs Soar Eleventh Month in Row!"

“Prices in July Set Record!”

“Food Highest Stnee 1952!

These headlines from current daily newspapers announce the
Jatest Lureau of Labor Statisties figures for July, 1957. The increased
cost of food, cigarettes, medical care and recreation contributed the
major share of the rise, These are gloomy headlines for the retired
public worker in New York State,

The real effect must be even gloomier when the retired person
tries to stretch his pension check to cover the increased cost of his
bread and doctor bil. More and more we hear the appeal of the
frustrated pensioner. The dollars he thought he was going to have
after years of faithful service are still the same in number, but they
have Jost more than half thelr value.

The average pensioner in the New York State Retirement System
recelves about $1,150 a year, Due to special laws, governed by certain
conditions of age and service, the Legislature has supplemented the
Pension allowance so that the low pensioned retiree can now receive
up to $1,200 w year,

Some Hard Thinking Needed

The question of what is happening to the pensioner tn our 20th
century inflation i a serious one. It is widespread, affecting all
segments of the population, not only the public worker. It demands
that some hard thinking be done in regard to our pension systems, If
we are going to live In an age of continual inflation, with an ev
shrinking dollar, certainly some way ought to be found to protect a
person's Ineystment In his retirement futtire.

About a year ago we suggested in this column that perhaps the
Principle of the variable annulty could be applied to the New York
Btate Retirement System. Recently we noted that Walter Reuther,
president of the United Auto Workers, stated he was going to nego-
tate this principle into the automobile labor contracts, While we do
not know the answer, we do know there ls a problem. We are hearing
about ton all sides from public workers.

Patroimen will recive statutory

ed to be $5,731 after October 1
1957 and $5,881 after January 1
1958, Tlitse salaries include em-
| ergeney compensation equal to 5
| pet cont of base pay. In addition
\there s, at present, a uniform

Thousands of Job opportunities
in civil service exist for women.
‘The Federal State and munictpal
governments are actively seeking
qualified women for positions
ranging from clerk and typist up
through professional grades call-
Ing for advanced neademic de-
grees,

Personnel directors of govern-
menial agencies have often ex-
pressed surprise that more women
@o not apply for jobs for which
they are fully qualified, and to
which they could be rapidly ap-
|pointed. These personnel men
\have felt that there is an erron-
eous impression by many women
that ft ts difficult for them to be
hired because agencies prefer men
This tmpression may be attributed
to the fact that some announce-
menis for Jobs specify that they
are open to men only. But the
vast majority of jobs are open to
both men and women.

The Federal government has
vacancies for actuaries, architects,
cartographers, chemist drafts-
men, illustrators, mathematicians,
mathematics aids, medical offi-
cers, nurses, physicists, publica-

New York State has openings
for clerical workers, pharmacists,

Good Riddance

EW YORK CITY has been prompt in announcing

that it will exercise the discretion granted under a
new State law whereby applications for jobs no longer
will have to be notarized,

so what is so sacrosanct about an application for a job,
especially as a candidate is held to the same high stand-
ard of truthfulness as if notarization were compulsory.
He is made just as responsible for any willfully false state-

Retroactive Benefit Is Considerable
Under Social Security

Under the Federal Social Se-
eurity Act, &n individual haying
all but four quarters of coverage
after 1954 in work covered under
Bocial Security ts fully tusured for
retirement and survivors’ bene-
fits, With New York City’s retro-
activity going back to the first
quarter of 1958, Clty employees
are immediately insured for all
Denefits. In addition, this retro-
activity provides an additional
safeguard If there had been any
Jess retroactivity, or none, every
City employee would have suf-
fered a reduction in the amount of
benefits at retirement, or his sur-
vivors would in case of his
death,

This reduction yould have been
permanent and he would never
have been entitled to maximum
benefits, He would have suffered
this reduction in the amount of
his benefits because of the way
in which the amount of his bene-
fits are computed under the law.

Five-Year Drop-Out

Under the new law, benefits are
based upon earnings after 1950,
This refers to benefit, amount, not
to eligibility, From these earnings
five of the lowest years may be
dropped in determining the aver-
@ge monthly wage and the benefit
amount.

Under this cormula, the five
years from 1951 through 1985 may
be “dropped out”. These were years
during which he was not covered
by Social Security, This bring
him up to 1956, when coverage
starts with retronctivity,

Already Being Used

Tt ts Important to remember
that the drop-out provision of the
Jaw has already been used, To
eollect maximum benefits, there-
fore, a City employee would have
fo work for wages of at least $4,-
200 & year up Wo age 65 for men,

or age 62 for women, without ex-
| ception,
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

PLEASE PUBLISH a table from
whieh T can figure out how many
| darters of coverage I require to
retire on a Social Sceurity pen-
sion, CJ.

One must be fully Insured un-
der Social Security to be entitled
to retive on a pension, and must
meet other requirements. In the
general case, the ner require-
ment ia age, For men the mini-
mum 1s 65, for women 2. Since a
woman retiring at ays the So-
inl Security tux for three fewer
years than she would if she waited
until 65, she retires on a reduced
pension, It stays reduced even af-
ter she reaches 65.

One is fully insured if he or she
has 40 quarters (10 years of cov-
erage). One is fully insured also
if, at age 65, 0. when one dies, he
has at least one coverage quarter
to his credit for each two ecalen-
dar quarters since December 31,
1950. Also, those who reach mini-
mum retirement age (5 for men,
62 for women) by October 1, 1960
by « special rule under which they
may qualify earlier, require Jess,
but never fewer than six quarters.
Six ts the minimum in any case,

The following table gives the
number of quarters needed, based
on year of birth, for those born in
the first half ef that year, Those
born in the second half would
need one additional quarter,

Social Security Windfalls and Indulgences

THE FACT that more than 90 per cent of New York City employ-
ees voted in favor of Social Security, and that policemen and firemen
aire about to get the Federal law amended so that they, too, may be
covered, shows how deeply public employees appreciate the value of
Social Security,

The official referendum that follows an individual's personal
preference expressed in the declarations signed by City employees of
course will be overwhelmingly affirmative,

‘The situation among State employees and other local government
employees in the State will be enthusinstically the same.

Fills an Important Gap

Social Security provides benefits lacking or Insufficient, in the
public employee retirement systems, These are principally the sure
Vivership benefits under which widow and minor childyen, and in the
absence of minor children, aged dependent parents receive monthly
allowances, The money thus reccived ts exempt from Federal and
State income tax, as ts the Social Security pension itself. State and
local benefits, including pensions from a public employees’ retirement
system, are itlso exempt [rom State income tax but State and local
Pension are subject to Federal income tax,

The survivorship benefits may be prodigious, compared to the
Money the member contributes to Social Security; so may the mem-
ber's own Social Security primary benefit, if he is at least near 65 for
men (62 for women). The idea that @ man over 68 or woman over 62
cannot start being covered by Social Security because already past
mimimum retirement age ig false,

Ss

ree

orship Benefits

Take the survivorship benefits. Assume the father of a family
could qualify for maximum primary benefit, {f he lived, # $1,300-a-
year pension. If he dies, leaving widow and minor children, the widow
may get three-fourths of whot he would have received had he lived
Jong enough to relire: besides, if there are minor children «under age
18), they would recelve monthly allotments,

The father, if retired, would have received $108.50 a month; the
widow gets $1.40 nnd each child $54.30 plus an increment based on
$27.20 a month, If there 14 only one minor child, that one gcis the
$84.30 plus $27.20, total $71.50. If there are more than one minor
child, the increment is divided omong them, There ts, however, a
maximum of $200 a month or 80 percent of the covered workers’
average monthly wage, whichever is lower,

Imagitic collecting 80 percent of wages even if for vn limited
period! To provide an equal benefit might require one to carry $45,000
insurance.

. Windfall Values

Also, the ponsion benefit itself, if an oldster himself lives to
retire, may be extraorditiary for those who obtained covernge late, or
added such ¢o' ¢ to short periods of prior coverage. One attraction
of Social Security coverage ta that it follows you fram Job to Joy; of
public employee system coverage Itself this is not true,

‘The ectunria! value to a man now
could (hen be $25,000, for he could coll
mainder of his life.
than $250.

Thus there are at least two windfal} pousibilitles. They arise from
the social concept of the program, First, the member benefits trom
recognition of the need of retirement opportunity based on minimum
age and & required minimum of covernge, admittedly low, regardless
of actuarial considerations. Thus aged newoomers fare better, dollar-
wise, than the younger folk. Even in life insurance economics, the
long-lived help to pay the benefits of the short-lived. The survivors’
benefits of Social Security also are not limited by actuarlal values,
The premise ts possible need, but the benefit arises regardless of
whether or not the eligibles are needy, It is « legal right that one w:
privileged to buy, and, depending on age, or after death at any age
on the number of entitled survivors, a right that may have been
brought for a song.

Lump-Sum Death Payment

Besides there ts a lump-sum death payment, This gocs to the
widow (or widower), otherwite to anybody who pays the funeral
expenses, The present maximum Jump-sum amount is $255. Claim for
payment must be made within two years after death. Failure to make
the claim often results in forfeiture, People Just don't know that the
benefit exists,

The State and New York City employees retirement systema have
a death benofit, but that's all, on the death score; no allotments to
survivors. The City long led the way, and still docs, with a year's
salary as life insurance, if the employee had 10 years’ service, A law
passed by the last acasion of the State Legislature liberalized the
State's half-salary life insurance plan, so that now, after 12 years'
service, one month's pay is given for each year up to 12 years,

Welcome as elther life insurance feature ts, it may not do much
to bridge the gap when there are minor children, and even when
theve are no children. Social Security provides the remedy, Its sur+
vivorship benefits are notable, Ite pension benefits are not,

It is possible and admirable to add the, Social Security pension

Up to five years of low or no pay may be ignored in figuring
average salary, in which benefit rates are based. This is the so called
drop-out, Tt woncerns the amount of benefit only. Any quarter in
which at 4 $50 is earned in covered employment counts toward
eligibility to benefit, even If disregarded in computing the dollar value
The table of required quarters is Uberulized so that four of the
otherwise requized quarters are forgiven. Thus a man who reachos age
65 before October 1, 1960 needs only four quarters after 1954, until
he hits 65. Tn the case of « woman the age is 62, and the forgiveness
the same, For example, 12 coverage quarters would be required
for a man to retire who reached age 65 in the first half of this year
a (1957), but now he may retire on @ credit of only eight quarters, A
miininuwm of six coverage quarters ie required in any case, regardless
Say you saw it adverthed of all concessions based on age or number of quarters.

‘The legality of the reclassifica-

Membership
Soaring in HA

Local 237, Teamsters, reports
that hundreds of checkoff cards
are being signed daily by employ-
ees of the New York City Housing
Authority who are Joining or re-
Joining the union.

Some few members dropped out
through a misunderstanding,
when the checkof{ that the Au-
thority voted was held up pending
an investigation of |ts applicabil-
ity to the Authority under the
terms of agreement with the Fed-
eral Housing and Home Loan
Agency. The Federal agency has
since satisfied itself that there is
nothing amiss about the checkoff,
and the Authority is going ahead
installing it, The first effective
date is expected to be September
15. Meanwhile the union ts con-
ducting a membership drive.

100 Percent Is Goal

“Our union aims at 100 percent
| membership of members of the

what we have accomplished tn the

Henry Feinstein, president of the
local, “Our union was the only
one that turned in any signed
checkoff cards, when the checkoff
was originally supposed to take
place, So far as we can learn, the
opposition hasn't a single HA
member in its ranks, despite all
the shouting to the contrary, The
opposition previously made a hee-
tle outcry about the cheekoff In
the Sanitation Department, in
which it didn’t ha and even now
doesn't have, a single member,”
