New Welfare Work Plan Won't Reduce State Costs
In Vermont Deputy Social Welfare Commissioner Paul Philbrook says the federal rule allowing welfare mothers to work full time while keeping some aid will not quickly cut state costs. He notes July expenses at about $20,000 with nearly 400 affected cases as the rule began. The provision exempts the first $30 of weekly wages plus one third of remaining pay from welfare deductions, unlike prior full deductions.
