Eight Percent Boost in Old Age Aid in Mills Co
Mills county will see an eight percent boost in Old Age Assistance payments for about 110 recipients in March. The rise, due to a state ruling, increases aid from 92 percent of need to 100 percent. It applies only to those living in their own homes, not residents of licensed nursing homes. An elderly individual living alone on $97 monthly will gain to $105, while a couple on $148 monthly will rise to $160 total, with each spouse at $80.
