Missouri to Begin Old Age Pension Under New Law
Missouri prepares to administer a new old age pension law enabling eligible indigent residents 70 and older to receive up to 30 dollars for singles and 46 dollars for couples. The program, aided by a 2.5 million dollar state appropriation and 230 thousand for administration, will start after Aug 27 with county boards and a reformered eligibility process to ensure proper payments beginning around Nov 1.
