Show Old Age Benefits Available fori 200 Utahn's Twelve hundred people in Utah will be entitled to receive lump sum benefits under the Old-Age Insurance provisions of the Social Security Act this year, according to William B. Hayward, manager of the Salt Lake City office of the Social Security Board who was in St. George on November 20, 1937. Estimates made by the Social Security Board's Bureau of Old-Age Old-Age Insurance were that approximately ap-proximately 1,180 persons in Utah would be entitled to benefits during dur-ing 1937, but only 15 per cent of those people have filed claims to the present date, the small number num-ber probably being accounted for by the fact that few people know their rights'under the Act. Lump-sum benefits may be paid in cases of employees in commerce and industry generally who attain the age of sixty-five or die before attaining that age, after December 31, 1936. Where employees attain the age of sixty-five the benefit payments may be made directly to them. Where employees die their estates or surviving relatives will be entitled to the payments, i Both tpes of claimants, however I must make formal application with j a field office or with the Social; 1 Security Board at Washington. 1 D.
