S.S. Checks Getting New Look in December

WILWOOD - Social Security checks will have a new look on Dec. 3. Del Brooks, manager of the Social Security Office here, said today. The familiar green punched-card checks that Social Security beneficiaries have been receiving since 1940 will be replaced with a new, more counterfeit-resistant costeffective paper check. The U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service, the government's financial

manager, began planning the paper check conversion project in the late 1970's because of new technology and the need to conform to generally accepted banking practices. Taxpayers will save $6 million per year in costs of paper stock and storage space. The new check is also more difficult to alter or counterfeit. More than a dozen security features — three times more than the old check — are contained in the design, the ink and the paper. The design features a

full-length reproduction of the Statue of Liberty on the left and a muted close-up of the Statue's head and torch on the right over a multicolored background ranging from light blue to pale peach. The letters ''USA'' create a background pattern on the front and back of the check Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will continue to receive the gold-colored punched-card checks. Brooks said. The conversion process to the new checks will not affect them until April 1.
