Proposed Pension Fund Sufficient To Care For All Cases
Des Moines Iowa old age pension plan eyed a $12 million annual fund to provide $25 monthly incomes to all needy residents over 65 after deductions. Byron G Allen notes 50 000 Iowa seniors may need benefits though 191 000 are over 65 and 58 200 have applied. The plan requires a $6 million state appropriation matched by federal funds and would run alongside current pensions averaging $14.20. The social security act will not fully erase old age needs.
