PART TWO Married Women in National Insurance 19. National Insurance for Married Women. With the help of Family Allowances, the National Insurance Scheme provides cover for a man's wife and family, as well as for himself, out of the husband's contributions. For instance, his Sickness or Unemployment Benefit is increased for his wife, and his contributions provide benefits for her in maternity and widowhood. In the same way, when he qualifies for a Retirement Pension, his pension is increased if she is under 60, while if she is over 60 she has a Retirement Pension of her own. Most married women not doing work outside their own home duties will, therefore, be provided for under their husband's insurance. They will not pay contributions and should not register. Subject to certain conditions, however, women who are : (a) insured under the new Scheme when they marry, or (b) already married and insured for pensions under the present Schemes, or (c) receiving one of the Widow's Benefits of the new Scheme will be able to choose whether they wish to go on paying for National Insurance. Special Leaflet N.I.1, which they can get from the local National Insurance Office, tells them about the choices open to them. 15
