Social Security History

 

 old poster re: death benefits

This poster from the period 1937-1939 announces the fact that during this time Social Security paid lump-sum benefits to the estates of covered workers who died before attaining age 65. This type of benefit was discontinued by the 1939 Social Security Amendments and was replaced by the much more valuable survivors benefits program. SSA History Archives.
