>1 irs. the social security pt"i',ram
has expanded so that it now pro-
• idts financial protection for vir
tually everyone 111 the country."
The first benefits to retired
workers were paid in l'MO. H> that
lime amendments to the law ha<i
In .>n passed t<> provide addition il
benefit- for the dependents and
survivors of insured workers
In 1 !+f>0 and thereafter. eoverane
was extended to iTrillioti of other
people who were not covered under
the original law — farm workers,
state ,md local ,;o\ i-rnment em-
ployees. domestic workers, minis-
ters. self-employed doctors, profes
sionals and members of the
armed forces.
In 1966. tlisabilil> protection was
addetl to cover the thousands of
people who could no longer work
because of serious illness or in-
iur\.
"In its first quarter of century."
said Bowers. "Social security had
alreudy mown into a pruram that
protected a worker and his family
in the event 'if his retirement,
death or disability. But il didn I
stop there."

Medienre has covered 1" million
hospital stays of elderly p. ople
And there were more 1li.ni om mil
lion admissions for posthospital e\
tended care Older people have also
received visits in their own homes
from \isiting nurses, physical
therapists, and other health care
specialists, paid for by Medicare
Payments under the hospital in-
surance program totaled $10.9 bil-
lion for the ll ycar periorl, and a
total of $-!.(> billion has l>een paid
under the medical insurance pro-
ram. which helps pay for doctor
hills and other medical services
In 19ti7. still other changes were
made Disabled widows became
eligible for benefits at aO. people
disabled before 31 needed les.s work
to qualify for benefits, and chil-
dren became eligible on their moth-
er's earnings record 011 the same
basis as on their latin i s
Through the yi ars. increases in
monthly benefits amounts were
made to keep place with the rising
cast of living. Today's average
monthly benefit to a retired work-
er is $95, compared to ten years
ago The average benefit for a
retired couple is SIM a month, com-
pared to $111 ten years ago. One
out ol every four beneficiaries are
well below retirement age — young
widows, children, ami disabled
workers and their dependents. The
protection afforded American fami-
lit s in the event of a worker's
death has a face value of $9tK) bil-
lion in potential survivors lienefits
Ten million people are kept aliovc
the (loverly level in this country
because they are getting .social
security benefits," Bowers said.
"Since they have paid into the
program for year- they have earn-
ed the right to receive their bene-
fit checks — and tit. s.. with dig-
nity."
