Winter welfare aid rules tighten under General Welfare plan
The state will require Winter eligible recipients to prove they meet all General Welfare Assistance requirements and discontinue categorical grants due to a projected $1 to $2 million budget shortfall. Last year the Social Welfare Department spent $191 million on special aids, boosting heating fuel allotments by 50 percent for recipients, with $146 million in additional federal aid. A statewide study found ANFC recipients do not pay higher rents, though rents in Chittenden County are higher overall, leading to increased rental allowances. Democratic HQ in May 1972 referenced. Watergate details show Haldeman testified Nixon considered tapes, with doctors saying Nixon cannot travel to testify before February 196? and cannot give depositions before January 6.
