Oklahoma Old Age Aid May Require New Law
Oklahoma public welfare director Jess Harper said a legislative act may be needed before the state can allocate funds for each old age assistant. He noted a Senate amendment to the national Social Security program would require states to contribute, with Oklahoma’s average around 9 dollars per person, about half of the typical 12 dollar monthly aged payment. Harper warned the amendment’s current form could fail due to differing state laws and doubts Congress will resolve the differences.
