Federal allotment to pay pension costs in Texas
Orville S. Carpenter, executive director of the Old Age Assistance Commission, said a large part of administering the Old Age Pension Law in Texas will be paid by the Federal Government. Social Security Board officials expect many states will use federal aid for administrative expenses, leaving state funds mainly for old age assistance. After determining the grant for old age payments, the federal government adds 5 percent for administrative expenses, potentially covering all federal costs before state funds are used.
