Welfare drive faces cuts without budget fix in Texas
State welfare officials warn health programs for the aged blind and disabled may be trimmed after January 1 if the Welfare budget cannot be altered. With $100 million unspent in 1976-77, transfers between programs are blocked by law, risking hospital stay cuts, nursing home payments, drug limits, and removal of glasses dentures and hearing aids. Public hearings with Gov Briscoe and the Budget Board are set to seek transfer power.
