Vermont to Cut General Assistance to Hospitals 20 Percent
Vermont Human Services Agency will reduce general assistance payments to hospitals by 20 percent this year to trim spending after budget cuts. Secretary Thomas Davis cited a $1.7 million reduction goal and a $260,000 General Fund cut plus a $600,000 Corrections deficit and $900,000 for employee raises. The social welfare general assistance cut totals about $300,000, but no immediate aid to those in need will be reduced. Beginning November 1, hospital aid under general assistance will drop to 80 percent of current rates.
