Page 3 - ... aggregate income. The aged received 15 percent of their income from interest, dividends, and rents. Public assistance and veterans' compensation accounted for the smallest proportion (5 percent and 4 percent, respectively). The foregoing findings are the first from the nationwide 1963 Survey of the Aged undertaken by the Social Security Administration, with the Bureau of the Census acting as its agent in collecting and tabulating the data. This survey will provide data on the income of the aged...

Page 339 - ... median income. Benefits under OASDI were practically the sole source of cash income for almost one-fifth of the couples and for more than onethird of the nonmarried beneficiaries who had been entitled to benefits for a year or more. Public assistance was important as a supplementary source of cash for 1 in 12 of the married couples and 1 in 6 of the nonmarried aged. The proportion receiving cash assistance payments was almost three times as large for nonbeneficiaries as for those on the OASDI...
Page 353 - Among beneficiaries aged 65 and over, those under age 73 were somewhat better off than the older ones. The difference is not great, because so much of their income is in the form of benefits. Some difference in favor of the younger units might be expected, however, for the following reasons : first, the benefits of...

It is perhaps surprising that an age group generally considered as out of the labor force had aggregate earnings four-fifths as large as their total benefits under public and private retirement programs combined. This relationship results in large part from the low ratio of retirement benefits to preretirement earnings that is characteristic of most retirement programs. Retirement benefits were reported by 84 percent of the couples...
Page 342 - Almost half the aggregate earnings of the aged were reported by couples and nonmarried persons aged 65 to 72 who were not on the OASDHI rolls, although they represented only 14 percent of the units in the 65-and-over age group. Most of these workers could have drawn benefits had it not been for their employment earnings which made them ineligible. For...
Page 358 - It is known that a growing proportion of the aged will be eligible for OASDI benefits. As the proportion of all those aged 65 and over who are eligible for benefits approaches 90 percent — as it will by 1975 — there will be fewer with cash incomes as pitifully small as those reported in 1962 by most nonbeneficiaries aged 73 and over. And fewer should need public assistance — unless it is to meet medical needs. If, on the other hand, the labor-force participation rate for aged men continues...
