Show OVERSEAS DEATH CLAIMS MUST BE FILED BY AUG. 9 The last day is Aug. 9, 1948 for filing claims for lump-sum death benefits under the Social Security Act on account of the death outside out-side the United States of a qualified qualif-ied individual after December 6, 1941, and before August 10, 1946. According to Sherman H. Ruesch, manager of the Provo office of the Social Security Administration any such claims filed after that date cannot be paid. Mr. Ruesch pointed out that congress amended the Social Security Sec-urity Act in August 1946 to give special consideration in those cases, cas-es, where servicemen or civilians died outside the United States during dur-ing and immediately following World War II by extending the legal limit of two years as provided provid-ed by law. However, the extension was for two years from the date of th-e amendment and at expires on August 9, 1948. The survivors of civilians and servicemen, who died overseas and who had earned wages in employment em-ployment covered by the Social Security Act, are urged by Mr. Ruesch to inquire as to possible benefits before the deadlirie. The office located at 163 West First North in Provo will render all possible assistance. |
