Court Rules Choice Free For Welfare
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that an unemployed parent may choose unemployment compensation or welfare. The decision upholds the 1968 federal welfare amendments allowing a parent to select welfare if it yields greater benefits, with states and Congress needing a law change to enforce exhausting unemployment benefits. Vermont warns of higher costs. HEW estimates higher federal costs for Vermont and similar states.
