cute but how are you going to take care of her if something happens to you and you can't work I don't know I guess her mother will have to go out and get a second job I guess well like I said why don't you listen to this film because social security has something for everybody and this film will show you just what I mean are you ready roll them woo one of the best sounds around was the people crackers plant number five marching band and groove Society how hippo blew first ssone and Robert rabbit hit Lee glockens [Applause] [Music] Spiel they were really fine days the band was doing gigs all over the town and H and Robert were kept busy every weekend during the week they were kept busy at the world's largest maker of people crackers a big favorite of all the animals but when they weren't working they always found time for fun the good times did roll and the hippos and rabbits enjoyed the good life all the way [Applause] and then one faithful day it happened Harry and Robert were working a big Independence Day celebration with all the works oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] such a terrible tragedy poor Hal hippo gone almost a month now and Robert rabbit still unable to walk the doctor still thinks it might be as much as two more years before rabbit is back to normal Health Mrs rabbit is worried because they're using their savings for day-to-day expenses then one fateful day this is where i' come in again excuse me folks you mind if I come in uh Mr walrus the funeral director and Mr Raph the teacher down at the school while they told me about your problems Miss giraffe was very worried because she hasn't seen the children for some time normally people come to us about their benefits but I think your case is special I'm from Social Security but I'm not retiring oh quite right but Social Security isn't just for retirement it protects your family at any age for example why aren't the children in school they're all looking for part-time jobs because Robert isn't going to be able to work for at least 2 years and our savings won't carry us that long they should still be going to school who would work then Mrs rabit and I have the little ones to take care of and we have to eat and pay that rent that that's why I'm here both Hal and Robert had Social Security at the plant didn't they sure for retirement H you forget now I said there are other social security benefits what we have here are two different problems Mrs hippo but both are covered by Social Security they are absolutely so if you come to the Social Security office and bring a report of the accident along with hell's social security number I'll help you file a claim that'll pay pay you a lump sum immediately plus a check every month until baby hippo is 18 years old or until he's 22 if he stays in school full-time a check every month did you hear that that's right and now you hippo kids I want you back in school immediately yay you have my word on that and when Junior's old enough so you won't have to stay home with him anymore you can get a job yourself if you want to and you can earn some money and still continue to collect your monthly Social Security checks I'll be in your office bright and early tomorrow say Mrs rabbit why don't you come too since your husband's condition is expected to last at least a year or more you can get benefits and the checks will keep coming as long as your husband's disability continues just bring along the doctor's report plus the accident report but that happened a month ago well the company will have a record of it and we'll get your claim in the works so you can start getting your Social Security disability checks after the 5mon waiting period gee that's the best news I've heard in a long time that's not all when you're ready we'll even help you start getting back on your feet with you know therapy great it'll be good to get back to work see you all tomorrow okay bye-bye bye bye good Heavens that was a long drop I didn't realize that now anyhow that was the whole film and uh I'm here to answer any questions anybody got any questions if this is so good why' you show us a cute little animals cause turkey they showed things that really happen to people people do get sick and people do die furthermore like this the children could understand it and maybe you might understand it that's right and what else did you learn from the movie ain't going to play no tuba come on now come on no I mean about what did you learn about social security you get money even if you can't work that's right those are called Social Security disability benefits and how long can you get that money I think up to a year or more well no not quite what I said was that since rabbit's disability was expected to last for a year or more he and the family could get payments and the checks would continue as long as rabbit's disability kept him from working don't you have to wait 5 months yes for the benefits to start but you shouldn't wait to apply and and and now what happens when somebody dies hey what was that for that was for what you're going to say hey cut it out you guys and pay attention yeah cool it come on now listen to me I'm asking you a question what about the benefits your family gets when you die you know the ones called survivor benefits huh they pay part of the family's funeral course and then they send them a check each month and how long can your kids continue to get these payments Junior's 18 or if he's smart and stays in school so he don't have to work hard like his daddy he can collect he 22 stay in school Tommy I'm going to be in the NBA Daddy Junior it doesn't matter if you're going to be in the NBA or in a factory like your daddy or anywhere else for that matter there's one thing you got to have before you start working anywhere what's that a social security card oh yeah say Mr driver why don't you show up yours okay [Applause] that's a social security card and the number on it is the same number you'll always have from the first day you start working until the day you retire like Grandpa over there why no matter how many different places you working you'll always have the same number it's your very own number and nobody else can never have it okay baby I got it what you got got a number that's good you got a number it you got a number got
