The increase will provide additional income to recipients of public assistance benefits as well as increase payments to medical profes sionals who provide services to people covered by AFS for medical care. AFS, a division of the Department of Human Resources, administers jpublic assistance payments, medical assistance and food stamp benefits for Oregon's needy through a variety of programs funded by both state and federal dollars. The Aid to Dependent Children program helps about 77,000 Oregonians monthly, most of them children. In a typical ADC family, the max imum payment for a mother and two children will increase from $3B6 to $397 after the rost-of living increase. AFS also assists disabled adults who are unable to work through the General Assistance program. Approximately 3.600 GA clients also will receive a 3 percent increase. The Day Care program helps low-income working parents with child care expenses. The maximum monthly rate for day reimbursement costs also is being increased 3 percent The pro gram assists 2.100 working parents monthly. ' AFS provides medical coverage to; 126.000 Oregonians each month through its medical pro gram-The 10,000 health care professionals who provide care for Medicaid recipients also will receive a 3 percent cost-of-living increase in fee reimbursement rates. The modest cost-of-Ilving increase was ap proved by the 1085 Oregon legislature to help the state's neediest citizens. The increase will be automatically reflected in payments made as of Oct. 1. And for most of the 210.000 Oregonians who receive food stamps, there also will be an increase in benefits during October. Fuod stamps are federally funded but ad ministered by the APS. The amount of stamps a person or family receives depends on income and household size. An allowance for winter's higher utility costs will benefit some recipients. Utility costs are one of the factors considered in determining food stamp benefits with recipients using either a stan dard allowance, adjusted semi-annually, or their actual utility costs. Those who use the standard allowance will receive an increase in benefits as » the winter standard goes Into effect. An average increase for a family of five would be about $15 a month in stamps. . The utility allowance — and amount of stamps — wilt go down again in the spring. Increases in two deductions will benefit most recipients. A larger standard deduction for ire come will help most households. Those with , higher than normal housing or dependent care costs will benefit from an increased allowance.
