SSA Lawyers Say No Indiana Funds
Federal welfare payments cannot lawfully go to Indiana under its new anti secrecy law, according to Social Security Administration lawyers. Indiana Attorney General J Emmett McManamon argues opening welfare rolls for public inspection does not violate the federal Social Security Act. The briefs, filed with Federal Security Administrator Oscar R Ewing, warn Indiana could lose about 18 million dollars annually in federal matching funds for old age blind and dependent children programs if the law is deemed noncompliant. Ewing will rule after Congress acts on Jenner amendment.
