Welfare Program Boosts Pensions Additional Federal Grant to Bring Payments to $40; Aids Liberalized Thomas R. Douglas, county welfare director, Tuesday placed in effect a new federal-state-county Welfare Program Boosts Pensions Additional Federal Grant to Bring Payments to $40; Aids Liberalized Thomas R. Douglas, county welfare director, Tuesday placed in effect a new federal-state-county welfare program which will boost old-age pensions in the county to the extent of $18,000, and will add largely to other forms of relief in Orange county. The pension increase is borne entirely by the federal government, which increased its portion from $15 to $20 a month; the state-county portion of $20 remains as before. The total maximum thus is jumped from $35 to $40 a month. The county, however, assumes a greatly increased load from liberalized provisions of orphan and blind aid, according to Douglas, who said that already 33 newlyeligible cases have applied for aid this month. A heavy increase in the next welfare budget is in prospect, he said. Expected help from the federal government in bearing the cost which its new program forces upon the county failed to materialize, Douglas told the county board of supervisors Tuesday; a clause in the federal act, providing payment for 50 per cent of the administrative cost of the program, was dropped somewhere in passage of the act. Approximately 134,000 pensioners in the state will receive an average of $37.64 for January, as compared with $32.57 for December, said a dispatch from Sacramento early this week. The state increase will amount to $670,000 in January, total pension payments for the month being about $5,000,000.
