Old Age Pensions to Cap at Thirty Dollars Monthly

A report from the joint legislative committee for Governor Kump proposes an old age pension maximum of 30 dollars per month with average grants possibly as low as 5 dollars. The plan funds care for aged, indigent blind, and dependent children at an estimated 5 million dollars yearly, with the state paying about 2.56 million. About 18 000 West Virginians would qualify under the indigent old-age provisions, and counties would likely allocate a fixed portion of their budgets, perhaps 20 percent.
