California and New York face potential loss of up to 90 million dollars in federal matching welfare funds over a year as HEW enforces stricter reviews. The plan targets overpayments and ineligibles, aiming to direct aid to those truly in need and reduce fraud across programs.
The Nixon administration signals a professional, nonpolitical cabinet focused on economy. Key entrants include George Shultz at Treasury, Caspar Weinberger at Health Education and Welfare, Frederick Dent at Commerce, James Lynn at Housing, Claude Brinegar at Transportation, and William Simon at Treasury, all emphasizing expertise, reform, and reduced federal spending.
Bruce Biossat notes that while Nixon pursues a federal job freeze and state empowerment, the Social Security Administration handles growing burdens with 28.1 million beneficiaries and a 96 million worker data load. He praises efficiency, cites large payrolls and Medicare management, and critiques Congress for complex laws that hinder clear outreach to beneficiaries.

It notes estimates of 100,000 to 300,000 urban Indians, BIA neglect, calls to expand BIA urban advocacy, and Nixon administration resistance to extending services beyond reservation Indians. The piece links White House orders to centralized authority and personnel shuffles, citing Richard Helms.
