ments and income vary. For
instance, an old person living
with his children may have no
expense of shelter and lights,
water, and fuel. His $4,000 a
month Social Security benefit
will cover all or nearly all of
the cost OF his food, clothing,
and personal incidentals at the
figures set by the Welfare De-
partment.
Another old person may have
to pay rent, lights, fuel, and
water, and in addition may have
a wife dependent on him. His
Social Security benefit of $40
a month will not cover his daily
needs and those OF his wife. as
set by the Department, and he
viii be able to get old age as
sistance as well as Social Secu-
rity.
A simple way to explain the
cuts which are having to be
made in the welfare checks be
cause OF the changes in the So
cial Security benefits is to say
that when a persons income
goes up, his welfare check u.s.
ually has to come down.
Mrs. Jean S. Mcclellan, Hol-
mes County Welfare Agent
states that some four hundred
and eighty seven cases in their
public assistance caseload had to
be reviewed for possible changes
due to the 1861 Amendments to
the Social Security Law.
Effective in September there
were twenty nine cases closed
because of increase in or receipt
of OASDI benefits.
One hundred fifty nine grants
were reduced because of the in
crease in the benefits in Social
Security checks which were re-
ceived on September third.
The remainder of the appro-
ximately 500 cases receiving
Social Security benefits and
n,,blic assistance in Holmes
County have been reviewed and
will receive action in October
or nc later than November.
The increase in Social Securi-
~ payments in September
caused 4 noticeable reduction in
the Holmes County Public As
sistance payroll. The August a.
mount was sos, 1892 and It was
only $93. 517.00 in September.

Mississippi Public Welfare Department
EXPLAINS Cuts In Public Assistance Checks

The Commissioner of Public
Welfare, M. H. Brooks, states
that many Of the people who
get both welfare checks public
assistance) and Social Security
benefits will now get less help
through the Welfare Depart
ment. A few will be removed
from the welfare rolls entirely
because the increase in their
Social Security check will now
cover those needs which have
previously been met by the well
fare check. The persons who
will receive a reduction in their
welfare checks or whose checks
will be discontinued are those
who are getting increases in
their Social Security benefits as
the result of the Social Securi-
ty Amendments Of 1861.
These reductions and re-
movals will come about because
the increase in the Social Sc
curity check means more income
for the person. Under Federal
and State laws, all income of
an applicant for or a recipient
of public assistance has to be
counted in arriving at the a.
mount OF his check.
Many people have asked how
the amount of the welfare check
is figured. In old age assistance.
for example, the amount that
the person can get is the diff
ference between his monthly re-
quirements and his income up
to the legal maximum Of $40. 90.
Income includes the Social Sc
curity benefit and any other
money coming in regularly. How
ever, the Welfare Department
cannot take into consideration
all his requirements for daily
living. Funds are sufficient onlv
to take into account the persons
needs for food, clothing, per-
sonal incidentals, shelter, light.
water and fuel. Then. in addi-
ton, the Department has to OBJ
tain the average cost OF these
daily requirements on 4 state
wide basis, and use these cost
figures in working up the per-
sons needs.
Some have asked why dif-
ferent people get more welfare
help than others, and why some
cannot qualify for public assis-
lance at all. The most frequent
reason is that peoples REQUIRE
