Michigan policy lets old age assistance recipients work on farms
The Michigan Social Welfare Commission liberalized farm labor income rules for Old Age Assistance recipients. Under federal law a worker’s farm earnings won’t reduce the April 1943 benefit, enabling willing recipients to farm or increase earnings. Property limits and recipient choice govern continuance of aid, with officials unable to supply names but able to connect labor seekers with farmers.
