Welfare Agency Sets Incidentals Allowances Across Programs
The Iowa state board of social welfare outlines a state standard budget item for miscellaneous and recreation in old age assistance ADC and dependent children programs. Monthly rates vary by recipient type from 4 to 5.25 dollars with smaller amounts for children by age. The ceiling on aid to dependent children at 175 dollars reduces these allowances for larger families, prompting concern over children's participation in school and community activities. In November, state totals show substantial expenditures across programs and counties, with Jones county figures detailed for each aid category.
