Disabled Aid Bill Advances Budgets Clash in California
The bill to cut welfare for disabled persons living with wealthy parents passes committee unanimously led by Sen. Robert J. Stevens and moves to the Senate floor. Gov. Reagan’s broader economy plan stalls in the Legislature as eight proposed measures aim to save about 96 million dollars annually by cutting frozen programs. State Welfare Director John Montgomery cites cases of high income families receiving aid for totally disabled in the home, including a Newport Beach physician with a disabled son.

Welfare grant increases under California disability program
Governor Reagan authorized the Legislature to consider a bill raising the maximum average welfare grants for California’s needy disabled. The measure adds 2.25 to the monthly grant this year and 4.75 for 1968-69, affecting about 120000 recipients. A sliding income scale would determine eligibility, with denials likely above 15000 annual family income.
