![["J.W. Bollinger writes to Honorable George B. Schwabe suggesting an improvement to the Social Security Act, specifically addressing the requirement that a worker must work at least 50% of their time in a covered occupation to receive benefits upon reaching retirement age. Bollinger believes this provision is unfair and undemocratic, and should be removed from the law. Schwabe acknowledges the suggestion and thanks Bollinger for bringing the matter to his attention."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0000-Social%20Security,%201945-1946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_5_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on the Amendments to the Social Security Act in 1946")
![["Congress is considering increasing pay for aged individuals through old-age assistance programs, with a focus on relief versus insurance. The current system of old-age insurance is contributory, with benefits dependent on wages earned during covered employment. However, the cost of living has outpaced the increase in benefits, making retirement difficult for many. Congress is leaning towards increasing relief payments rather than insurance benefits, raising concerns about the future of old-age insurance in the country. Additionally, changes in pricing policies, subsidies, and enforcement of price controls are also being implemented by Congress. Controls are set to end by June 30 of the following year, with a gradual removal based on supply and demand. Rent controls will continue, with distinctions made for different types of housing."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Socialized%20Medicine,%201946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Congressional Moves: Increasing Old-Age Relief vs. Stagnant Insurance Benefits")
![["James A. Arnold writes to George B. Schwabe expressing his thoughts on suggested changes to the Social Security Act. He believes the current law needs to be revised to be more equitable, allowing people to retire at any age above forty-five with maximum benefits fixed at sixty-five. Arnold also suggests changing the requirement for individuals to work forty quarters to qualify for full coverage, as it can be unfair to those who are unable to meet the requirement due to illness. Schwabe responds, acknowledging Arnold's ideas and expressing doubt that immediate action will be taken to make the necessary changes. Schwabe also criticizes the New Deal Crowd for prioritizing politics and programs that lean towards socialism or communism instead of focusing on keeping America American."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Socialized%20Medicine,%201946/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_3_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Proposed Changes to the Social Security Act in 1946 Between Mr. James A.
