Welfare Not Affected This Year In Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK AP Welfare grants in Arkansas will not be affected this year as Senate moves to attach a Medicare provision to a House welfare bill. Gov Adams notes Arkansas’ state maximum remains $6. federal grants rising to 70 would trigger action by the 1963 General Assembly to align the state cap. Earlier, 1961 legislation lifted the cap from 55 to 60, while 1963 funding could raise it further if approved. Arkansas has not used the $66 federal increase and thus would not be affected unless Congress changes the grant amount.
