Harold Mickelson of the Mower County Welfare Board said the Social Security Board approved higher old age and aid to dependent children payments to ease state costs.

The state will conduct multiple cost of living surveys yearly to pass along increases if funds allow, with rent utilities and medical fixed, feed and clothing budgeted by state grants.
