Iowa ranks high in checks to ADC
Iowa’s AFDC payments average 86.44 dollars monthly, placing the state among the top in the nation. A UPI review shows Iowa rose from 21st to 7th in average recipient payments between 1973 and 1975, though analysts say the gain reflects improved finances and wages rather than a smaller welfare burden. The federal share now covers about 57 percent of costs, with discussions on federalization and possible reforms to curb rising rolls.
