Women and Social Security (PDF)
Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement [WISER] Jan. 5, 2009 8 pages. Excerpt: Social Security benefits are an important source of income for women of all ages. Today, women receive more than 48 percent of retired worker benefits and almost 46 percent of disabled worker benefits. Women receive 99 percent of non-disabled survivor benefits and 99 percent of widowed mothers and fathers benefits (SSA, 2006A). More than 50 percent of women age 65 and older would live in poverty were it not for their Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, even with Social Security benefits, over 12 percent of all older women are poor. |
