Squabble delays welfare checks in Harrisburg clash over budget
In Harrisburg the fight between the House and Senate over an $82 million welfare spending bill could halt cash grants to about 314,400 recipients after Monday. The dispute centers on $550,000 for Auditor General Benedict and a party line vote that removed that funding, forcing a conference committee next week. If unpaid, roughly 15,000 households may lose checks daily, while other welfare programs and hospital payments also face delays.
