Old Folks May Get More Help
In Little Rock Welfare Commissioner A J Moss says 52,000 elderly may receive increases as $30,000 savings are expected to allow higher distributions. He noted $1,000,000 federal aid will be available for aged benefits, with monthly savings projected to rise to $100 by the end of the fiscal year. Gov Cherry aims to aid all categories, but old-age assistance should come quickly, with the typical check around 10 to 20 dollars above the national level. About 4,000 elderly beneficiaries would not be affected as they already receive the maximum $55.
