Welfare Rolls Grow As Costs Drop For Two Months
About 81 000 persons were added to welfare rolls in September while overall spending fell by 25 million dollars in August and September due to lower medical costs. Medicaid outlays declined by about 20 million dollars in each month, but rising aid costs to families headed by women reduced the savings to 10 15 million in September and August respectively. The September gain reverses a small downward trend from the prior three months and follows August's 140 000 surge.
