Aid Grants For Needy Increased
A compromise social security bill would freeze the old age insurance tax at one percent and boost federal grants for needy persons in all states. It sets a 50-50 federal state match for aged and blind relief, raises total federal contribution per recipient to 25 dollars monthly, and raises children’s aid with six of the first nine dollars paid to dependents. The top aged or blind monthly allowance becomes 45 dollars, with child tops at 27.50 and 18 for additional children. The measure, subject to presidential approval, could avert a tax increase and ensure adjournment.
