Reducing Welfare Error Rate Could Cost More In Idaho
Boise Idaho United Press International reports Jerry Quick head of financial and medical assistance for Idaho State Department of Health and Welfare warns reducing welfare error rate to zero may cost more than saved. He notes overpayments rose in late 1974 due to food stamp expansion while the 42 year old quality control program cut errors. In March welfare aid to 6200 families totaled 1.3 million dollars. Records show 148 ineligible families received 24 thousand and 744 eligible recipients were overpaid 43 thousand.
