Deserted Mothers Denied Pension Benefits Amid Claims

Reports from Danville Vermillion County claim four deserted mothers received pensions under the new law, but verification is lacking. The statute sets a maximum of 60 monthly per family with 15 for one child and 10 for each additional child under 14, while eligibility requires three years residency, a deceased or incapacitated husband, no other property, and relief only if needed to avoid work or institutional care. The law presumes a mother as guardian, excluding the mentally or morally deficient, or others legally able to support the children.
