Thursday, September 7, 1972 The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Governor Seeks More Benefits For Oldsters Governor Tom McCall said today he will propose a plan io the Legislative Emergency Board to insure that adult wel fare recipients on Social Se curity will be able to retain their increased federal bene fits Congress has approved a 20 per cent increase in Social Se curity benefits But under fe deral law, state payments to welfare-Social Security reci pients would be cut by the amount of the Social Se curity increase, because a " pass- through" of the bene fits is prohibited McCall said the higher level of Social Security payments would make at least 762 per sons ineligible for welfare, even though they would receive no more total dollars than now McCall said the impact would be to deny many of these per- as welfare recipients to retain present medical benefits. This is because their income from Social Security would still fall below the state-fixed income standard. But Pynn withdrew his motion to give the Welfare Division time to study the issue and provide a more accurate esti mate of the impact on the State's general fund The Emergency Board moved up the date of its next meeting from September 25 to Sep tember 18 to give the Welfare Division time to implement whatever proposal might tie adopted. The increased Social Security benefits are to take effect October 1. The governor siad, "I am pit ased that the E.merg<-ncy Board has taken this very af firmative step in recognition of the crisis laced by many ill- sons medical benefits they now receive, and to greatly reduce benefits provided to the others. "I hope everyone understands that we are seeking help for two groups of people who have no other option for survival-- permanently disabled adults, and the aged," McCall said. The Emergency Board dis cussed the problem at its meet ing Friday with representatives of the Public Welfare Division. Presently, the aged and those adults classified as permanen tly totally disabled receive 80 per cent of what has been de termined as the minimum basic need. Rep. Allen Pynnof West Linn, a member of the fmergency Board, proposed today that the standard be increased to 94 per cent of need. He said this would have the effect of allowing those in danger of being disqualified fed, ill-housed Oregonians." McCall said he believes the cost of increasing the state standard could be financed through savings already affec ted by the Welfare Division in this biennium The governor said his staff is investigating all possibilities and he will make a recomman dation to the Emergency Board next week McCall said he is critical of Congress for prohibiting a pass-through of the increased Social Security benefits to wel fare recipients. "1 wrote last week to all members of the Oregon dele gations that no pas -through provision was included in the new Social Security benefits act,'' McCall -aid This fai lure moans that those who must depend on supplemental welfare aid will realize little if any Oregon Veterans May Be Fntit led To School Help Oregon veterans attending school this fall may be entu led to State veterans' educa tional aid benefits to help pa y the cost of their studies, the Department of Veterans' Af- fairs said today. H. C. Saalft Id, veterans' af- f«irs director, said the State benefit pays $50 for each month of full-time undergraduate col- improvement in their income since the increase in Social Security benefits must t>(. used to reduc« their existing wel fare grants.” McCall said he will continue to pre-s Congress for approp riate legislation, but that since no action has been taken it is incumbent on the state to fill the void. b i I I V SALE DATES: I Thurs., Fri , Sat.

Idaho State Police Increased Bv Thirty Thirty new members have been added to Idaho’s State Police force following their completion ot a course at the State Police Academy. All thirty are new to law enforcement work and a number of them came from other states. Twelve have been assigned as dispatchers and eighteen as patrolmen. The Police Academy was con ducted for this term at the National Guard headquarters at Gowen Field in Boise. Nor mally, it is held at Idaho State University in Pocatello, but be cause of renovation work under way there aanng the summer recess, it was shifted to Boise. Principal speaker at the gra duation ceremony was William J Murphy, administrative as sistant to Governor Cecil D. Andrus. He told the new state policemen that they would serve as ambassadors for the State of Idaho in their handling of law enforcement work. Murphy said the way they handle their job will have an effect on the way Idaho is rated by visitors to the state. And he urged them to perform in a way that would be a credit to Idaho. I 1
