What is Prouty Wife?

Medicare term used to describe certian beneficiaries:

In 1965-66 Congress also identified another "disadvantaged" group:

elderly individuals (age 72 before 1971) who had not been able to work

long enough under Social Security to become insured for a benefit. People

in this group were granted special Social Security benefits paid for

entirely by the general revenues of the Treasury. These were known as

Special Age 72, or Prouty, benefits. Over time, of course, these

beneficiaries will disappear as Father Time claims members of the group."

from the SSA website.

Winston L. Prouty was the Maine Senator who initiated the amendment to the

law.

Because of her limited work history as a homemaker, the widow was considered a prouty wife and had to reapply for hospital benefits with the CMS office.
