County Board Pushes For Continued Youth Welfare Aid
The board urged the State Department of Social Welfare to modify a regulation ending welfare aid for dependents at age 18. Welfare director Dennis Denny cited 52 local students graduating in June and 13 court dependents ages 18 to 21, with costs of about 7000 and 1400 respectively. The board approved continued payments for the 13 but refused to divert 7000 to the county budget, warning of broader financial strain if the state reduces programs. The state plans to end aid for 18 to 21 around March 4, risking April payments for the 52 students.
