New Welfare Program Funds Approved by County Council
Jackson County council in special session approved a $4000 appropriation to start the 4-D welfare program under the Social Security Act of 1975. The plan creates a non-support division to pursue fathers who fail to pay support, with mothers assigning their checks to fund welfare. The county will receive a 25 percent bounty on the first 1200 and 10 percent on the next 1200 collected.
