State Blind Pensions To Increase In Missouri
Missouri will raise blind pensions from 90 to 100 dollars monthly starting October 1 by using a reserve in the blind pension fund. Welfare Director Carter said the fund balance of 1.766 million dollars covers nine months of the boost, with Congress expected to address Social Security for the blind by then. The Legislative Fiscal Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Donald Manford, declined to authorize new spending and rejected two federal funds requests to avoid future state cost increases. The panel also noted 151,695 dollars in federal matching money available to improve air pollution control and 30,000 dollars to hire staff for Medicare Medicaid hospital and lab inspections.
