W elfare Q uestion
Could I adopt a child without own­
ing my home?
Owning a home is not a require­
ment for adapting a child. You must
have the ability to manage your fam­
ily budget and have stable employ­
ment with enough income to provide
the necessities of life for a child with­
out undue hardship for the rest of
the family. The place you live in —
whether owned or rented — must
provide enough space for all mem­
bers of the family to live in health,
safety and with self-respect.
All income available to any assist­
ance recipient, including contribu­
tions from relatives must be taken
into account in determining the
amount of an assistance grant. How­
ever, in situations where, because
of lack of funds', the agency is not
able to pay the full amount of the
standard welfare fee for some items,
such as medical care, relatives may,
if they wish, make up the difference
up to 100 % of the welfare stand­
ard.
Do welfare recipients get any help
in budgeting their money?
Yes, when necessary. In general,
welfare recipients, like everyone
else, have the right to use their
money as they see fit. However,
when problems arise in money man­
agement, caseworkers are available
to help the family work out these
problems.
Could I get old age assistance and
still keep some money to pay for my
burial?
Assistance recipients (except for
General Assistance» may retain a re­
serve up to $250 in cash which may
be used for burial. In addition, per­
sons 65 may retain life insurance
with a face value up to $500 if the
beneficiary of the insurance policy
agreees to assume all responsibility
for burial expenses.
PUBLIC WELFARE QUESTION
(Questions about public welfare
which are of general interest are
answered in this column as a public
service. Help with individual prob­
lems is available at your county wel­
fare office.)
My blind brother is trying to build
up his business. Must he use all his
profit to maintain himself?
A special law permits all employed
or self-employed persons to retain
all earnings up to $85 plus one-half
of all earnings above $85 without
affecting their eligibility for assis­
tance. In addition, earnings above
these levels may be retained for up
to 12 months in connection with a
specific plan to become self-support­
ing if this plan is approved by the
County Welfare Department.
What does a county Public Wel­
fare Commission do?
The public welfare commission
consists of a group of public-spirited
citizens who have an interest in see­
ing public services performed effec­
tively. These citizens determine the
policies of public welfare depart­
ments within the framework of state
and federal laws, and regulations of
the State Public Welfare Commision.
All actions of the county welfare de­
partment on individual cases rest
on the authorization and approval of
the county public welfare commis­
sion which also makes recommenda­
tions to the state commission for
changes in state policy or laws and
which sets certain standards for its
own county. It also revises annual
budget estimates and makes recom­
mendations, as well as helping bring
about county uryierstanding of pub­
lic welfare.
What has become of the poor farms
we had 20 years ago?
Experience since then has shown
us that most people get along bet­
ter when they are able to be part of
their dkn community than they' do
when they are grouped together in
an institution. When assistance is
given to people ip their own homes
many of them can make an impor­
tant contribution to community life.
In the long-run, the community gets
more benefit from the present pro­
gram for fewer dollars and (he peo­
ple involved are able to maintain
their self-respect as participating
citizens.
Why is it that juvenile delinquents
and criminals often come from wel­
fare fam ilies?
Crime, delinquency, disease, school
dropouts and many other social ills
often accompany poverty.
These
problems are found in many low-
income families not on welfare. This
is why public welfare today is em­
phasizing training and rehabilitation
to enable people to find a legitimate
means of lifting themselves out of
poverty and deprivation and find­
ing a more positive means of realiz­
ing their own goals.
