Saturday Califano seeks equity in benefits for women United Press International WASHINGTON — Citing dis crimination against women in the Social Security System, HEW Sec retary Joseph Califano said Thurs day the benefits structure must be changed to ensure fair and adequate payments to both men and women. But he warned that eliminating the inequities will cost money, and require either higher taxes or cut ting other benefits. The issue is not whether, but how to change the current structure to correct the inequities while main taining the strengths of the existing system,” he said. “Over the long haul, however, we must recognize that eliminating in equities and improving the adequ acy of benefits in the current system will either require increased fund ing or mean reducing other bene fits. The nation must begin to face this difficult choice. Califano made the comments at a news conference on a new report that said the current system could be made more fair to women. The report suggested either pooling each couple’s legibility, or by simply guaranteeing everyone a basic re tirement income. The report also said another more limited change might be to put homemakers under Social Security. This way the dollar value of their work around the house would be credited to them in retirement. Califano listed these examples of discrimination against women in the current system: —If a woman works for 15 years at an average annual income of $11,300, then works for 10 years raising three children, she will wind up with a Social Security benefit $50 a month less than a woman who worked 25 years at an average wage of $11,300, even though both women had 25 years of productive work. —If a husband and wife each had average earnings of $6,000 per year ($12,000 for the family) they would receive benefits of $530 per month, compared to benefits of $636.60 per month for a couple with just one wage earner who made $12,000 per year. —If a woman works for 15 years in Social Security-covered jobs and then takes five years out to raise children, she will not be able to claim disability benefits if she be comes disabled, because she has not worked “recently.” The report, published Wednes day, was issued by the Health, Edu cation and Welfare Department in compliance with a 1977 law requir ing it to examine ways to eliminate sex discrimination in the system.
