Welfare reform shows progress in reducing ineligible payments
Washington reports the HEW says its AFDC cleanup saves taxpayers over 1 billion in 2.5 years. Error rates dropped from 41.1 percent in January 1974 to 24.8 percent by June 30. Still, about 5.5 percent of welfare recipients are deemed ineligible, with 13.9 percent overpaid and 5.2 percent underpaid. Official Robert Fulton points to encouraging but uneven progress.
