State Plans To Pay 10000 Pensions In July
Atlanta authorities report that the state welfare department will begin distributing about 3.25 million dollars in pensions on July 1 under new social security amendments ratified Tuesday. An estimated 10,000 old age pension checks will be issued, averaging ten dollars higher than the southern state average. County boards will certify and requisition beneficiaries, with the state paying 40 percent and the federal government 60 percent of costs. The welfare board meets June 16 to appoint county boards, which will handle applications and certification. Other amendments involve exemptions on home values and personal property, effective 1938, with a special fall session to set tax classifications. The governor plans to modernize the tax system when legislature convenes.
