Welfare Reform Plan Pushes as Amendment to Social Security Bill
Senate liberals press a revised Nixon welfare plan as an amendment to the Social Security bill. The Ribicoff Bennett proposal would guarantee a $1,600 minimum for a four person family, offer public works for welfare recipients with 90 percent federal funding, and require coverage for households headed by an unemployed father. The plan totals a broad revenue sharing provision to ease state welfare costs, while the Finance Committee backs a two year test and new tax steps for Social Security financing.
