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.
