Explains
Legislation
Regarding Welfare

Complaints from persons in
various parts of the state that
old age assistance payments
have not been sufficiently in
creased for every recipient in
dictate misunderstanding of the
legislation passed at the 1949
legislative session, Nels G.
Briggs, administrator of the
State Welfare department, de-
clared today.
The misunderstanding APP
peared to. lie in a belief that
each aged person would re-
ceive. an increase of ST under
provisions of the law. Actually,
Mr.. Briggs said, the legislation
provides for increases in pay
ment only to the extent that
need for the additional amount
is established.
MI. Briggs predicted that
when county welfare depart
ments have completed reinves-
tigation now under way, the
increase for all recipients will
average approximately ST in
accordandance with the law
passed by the last legislature
even though each person will
not receive an increase in that
amount.
Although the law was not eff
fective until July 1, average
! payments to- recipients haVe~al-
ready increased from $45.- to
5000 and are expected to
reach an average of $50 this
fall.
Governor John w. Bonner
called upon Mr.. Briggs to clar-
ify in detail the provisions OF
the law in order to eliminate
misunderstanding.
In a statement prepared by
Mr.. Briggs, he pointed out that
the department. is required by
state and federal law to adj
minister old age assistance on
the basis of need. In order to
carry out this requirement, the
department has made a survey

fare Commission officer for

on National Service Life In
Surance will be in the hands
of all post offices and veter-
ans organizations upon request,

The payments of these divi-
dendS will not begin until
Jan. 1, 1850 and should be
completed by June 1, 1850, to
those who have made formal

time limit set so far in which
applications must be filed, he
said.
The order of payment is not

deaths occurring in that age
group, time policy has been in
effect, and other facts. The
amount payable is also deter
mined under that plan.

ment office at the courthouse
