Counties May Have To Pay Part Of Old Age Pensions
Raleigh's Enterprise Bureau reports a proposed old age pensions plan may cap monthly benefits at $20 with counties contributing one quarter of the state match. Estimates show state costs ranging from $2.0 to $2.8 million annually, with county costs from $0.6 to $1.0 million, depending on eligibility. If state funds alone cover pensions, totals rise to about $3.6 million for 20,000 and $6.4 million for 30,000 recipients. County participation could ensure local administration and stricter eligibility.
