This statement \vns just released by Hugh A. AfcNary, Jr., Manngt r of the Dayton Social Security office. Tills amount represents an in­ crease of about 23 per cent over payments being paid in July of Inst year. Changes In the law Under the 3050 and 1952 amendments account­ ed for a large part of the increase, both in the number receiving pay­ ments and in the amount of their benefits. The 1950 changes brought -under the law many more persons such as regular farm and house­ hold 'workers. It also extended cov­ ered, to pie majority of the self- employed. Since workers aow over 65 only need about a year and a half "of credit in covered employ­ ment to be eligible for benefits many of these newly c o v e r e d groups have already filed for bene­ fits. Claims filed by the self-em­ ployed whq have retired made up about 35 jMx dent of the total re­ ceived In the first six months of this year, AIcNary Said.
