Ford Budget Proposes Phaseout of Public Service Jobs Plan
The 1976 budget outlines phasing out the public service and extended unemployment benefits in 1977, replacing 58 grants with four block programs in health, nutrition, education, and social services. States would get a $10 billion block grant with no matching funds, allowing flexible program selection while ensuring 1977 funding not below 1976. The forecast expects unemployment averaging 7.2 percent in 1976 and 6.9 percent in 1977, with tax breaks to spur job creation in areas above 7 percent.
