Welfare Board Seeks To Balance Figures
The Kansas Social Welfare Board acts to balance proposed expenditures with available funds for the 1972 fiscal year. Dr. Robert Harder says no cuts in assistance before Sept. 1. A study on special circumstance items is under way with changes to be implemented after the study. The board proposes a new single basic standard allowance and a need based reduction policy. They also seek controls on third party payments, Medicaid eligibility timing, and to reign in travel while pushing federal program participation and retraining efforts. A retirement age of 65 may be considered if legal. Salary increases are deferred until funds exist for the entire year.
