Pittsfield Quarantine Claim Sparks Unusual Pay Request
Mr and Mrs Ralph E Snow of Pittsfield filed a £50 claim against the city health authorities after their son’s scarlet fever quarantine kept them from work. They cite a state provision granting three fourths of wages up to $2 daily, with Snow earning about $40 weekly and wife $26. He returned after eight days, she after 17, totaling $50 in potential reimbursements. Officials say such a claim is unprecedented locally and could open similar reimbursements for quarantined parents.

State Nets 660000 By Shakeup
Reorganization of the State Mental Hygiene Department’s reimbursement bureau increased by more than 660000 this year. The bureau headed by Robert P. Rickards had a 109000 appropriation in 1942 to expand activities. An assistant attorney general has been assigned to handle delinquent accounts requiring court action. In 1941-42 the state collected 2895374 from relatives guardians of patients, and for 11 months of 1942-43 collections are 676055 ahead of the prior year. Monthly increases ranged from 40000 to 97000. The bureau can collect full care costs from a patient’s family or estate, averaging at least 2 dollars per day. Assessments vary with families’ ability to pay. The bureau operates like the federal income tax office, sending a resource inquiry form upon admission. In 11 months the delinquent total fell from about 6 million to about 8 million, settled by compromise or court.
