Bill to Increase Aged Aid Stated in Louisiana
LAKE CHARLES AP Sen Jesse Knowles of Lake Charles plans to introduce a bill at the May legislative session to raise old age assistance by about seven percent, boosting average payments by roughly $5.75 monthly. The move follows the Welfare Board’s seven percent cut for recipients who also get Social Security, which recently rose seven percent. Under the program, maximum monthly aid from all sources is $82, so a recipient with $40 Social Security would be limited to $42 from old age assistance.
