Mondale criticizes state welfare rules at hearing
Sen Walter Mondale says new social services rules push welfare recipients to stay on aid and avoid work. He cites Minnesota four person family could earn up to 6462 dollars on welfare while non welfare families lose eligibility above 6102 dollars. HEW officials defend rules aiming to focus aid on poor families and prevent benefits to higher income groups. They note welfare income ignores part of job earnings to encourage work, a temporary measure as services are intended to help families for a few months off welfare. Social services include family planning day care programs to combat alcoholism health services and homemaking support.
