State faces big increase in welfare costs
Senate Finance Committee chairman Sen. Randolph Collier warns sponsors to slow refund of an 852 million budget surplus. A Reagan administration official cites potential federal welfare law costs up to 300 million. Dr. Earl W. Brian states the law will raise net state expenses despite some savings, with no new funds in next year’s budget. Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post notes California funds currently exceed potential federal payments. The measure alters Social Security provisions and Medi-Cal, creating a new supplementary security program for aged, blind, and disabled recipients. Exact costs await federal regulations. Collier urges delaying hearings on surplus-disposal bills until regulations are issued.
