Welfare benefits increased
Adult and Family Services Division, which
administers Oregon's welfare programs, has an*
nounced a 3 percent cost-of-living increase effec
tive Oct. 1. 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. '
