Costly Rise in Relief for Dependent Children in Montana
Montana relief costs for dependent children climbed sharply from 1946 to 1950, rising 2.12 times as counties project expenditures of $432,110 this year from $178,762 in 1946. The Taxpayer association cites more recipients and higher monthly payments, with total dependent children increasing from 3,729 to 6,325 and monthly aid growing from $54 to $83. Yellowstone County shows aid up from 400 recipients in 1946 to 447 in 1950, while payments rose from 76.11 to 87.43 dollars. The surge has created large deficits in state reef funds and strained county Poor funds amid broader parental neglect concerns.
