Aid to Invalids and Incompetents Soon Eligible for Aid
The state through Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled will provide small monthly payments to those judged completely helpless with no relatives able to support them. Welfare Supervisor J. W. Keith notes this program, limited to 1.5 million dollars annually by a 1956 constitutional amendment, will require hardship review of a claimant’s relatives and medical status by state physicians and private doctors. The definition hinges on medical helplessness rather than work capacity.
