Commissioners
Veto Increase in
Relief Payments
Proposals to Boost
Maximum Limits
Are Rejected

Proposals by the Board of Public
Welfare and Welfare Director Rob-
ert E. Bondy for an increase in the
maximum limits of relief granted to
various categories of persons on the
public assistance rolls, have been
stricken by the Commissioners from
their 1941 budget estimates, it was
learned today at the District Build
ing.
In fact, it was indicated the Com
missioners have not found it possible
to grant most Of the requests for in
creases in the outlay for public as
sistance, recommended by welfare
officials, except that it was reported
the Commissioners will recommend
some increase in the staff of case
workers.
Mr.. Bondy had declared his belief
that some 400 or more relief cases
now carried by the District could
be dropped as ineligible-thereby
making funds available for addi-
tional bona fide cases-if the case
work staff was enlarged, so as to
permit the making of all necessary
Investigations.
Want S78 Limit.
The Welfare Board and Mr.. Bondy
had proposed increases in the CELL
ings on relief disbursements to fam.
lilies in various classifications so as
to bring them more in line" with
the Federal social security system.
The welfare officials asked that
the absolute limit on general relief
be increased from $50 to S78 a
month, with an increase from S24
to $50 for single persons on emer-
gency relief, an increase from $50
to $38 for two persons in an
emergency relief case. and an in
crease from s6 to So for additional
dependents under the ages of 18
years, If they are attending school,
as opposed to the present age limit
of 16 years.
They also proposed that the limit
| for two persons under home care
and dependent children be increased
from $50 to $38 a month, and the
limit from $6 to SO on dependents
under 18 years of age. and a total
of $78 instead of $50 for the home
care Of dependent children.
Aged and Blind Increase.
Welfare officials also had pro-
posed that the limit for the aged
and the blind be increased from $50
to $40 per month.
| Welfare officials have been advised
that Z special act of Congress will
be necessary to provide for their
proposal for consolidation of the
home care appropriation with ths
funds made available for aid to de-
pendent children The home care
fund comes under the District We'll
fare Act of 1926 and the other cate.
CORY was created under the Federal
social security program.
Mr.. Bondy said bill to provide
for the merger of the two services
was drafted early this year, but was
not sent to Congress. He said the
Welfare Board would seek to revive
this bill and urge the Commissioners
to sponsor the measure.
