The report is focused on a quantitative analysis of expenditure data for the urban areas, but an attempt has been made to view these expenditures against the background of economic depression and the far-reaching changes that have occurred in the structure of public and private aid. In addition to the composite picture of urban relief trends in the United States, the report contains an analysis of relief outlays and patterns of aid in the 116 individual areas. Expenditure data for the individual areas are shown in appendixes B, C, and D. The report was prepared in the Division of Assistance Analysis and was written by Enid Baird, with the collaboration of John M. Lynch, under the direction of Anne E. Geddes, Associate Director of the Bureau of Public Assistance. Special acknowledgment is made to Sybel E. Longhead, who has responsibility for maintaining the urban series as a current report¬ ing project; to Sadie Saffian, who was responsible for checking and revising the basic trend data for all reporting areas and for the preparation of the tables in appendix C; and to Elizabeth S. Goodwin, who supervised the tabulations and checked the tables and manuseript in the final report. Jane M.

Outlays for public and private aid rose rapidly to unprecedented levels, and a poor-relief system that had undergone only superficial change over many decades was within a few years radically altered to meet the challenge of mass insecurity presented by our modern industrial society. It is the purpose of the present report to review the developments of the decade as they are reflected in the expenditure trends and patterns of aid for 116 of the largest urban areas in the United States. The expenditure data which pro¬ vide the basic material for the report were sup¬ plied by the urban relief series, the development and content of which are described in chapter II. An effort has been made to sketch the background of economic depression that precipitated the sweeping changes that occurred, and to recall the sequence of programs and events that influenced relief trends over the decade. For the most part, however, attention has been focused on the story told by the expenditure data themselves and the questions that inevitably arise from analysis of such quantitative data. The story is essentially one of transition and evolutionary change under the pressure of the most severe and prolonged depression in the history of the United States. The acuteness of the unemployment crisis in its early stages neces¬ sitated action on a national scale and prepared the way for the entrance of the Federal Govern¬ ment into emergency relief activities and for other drastic departures from traditional concepts and methods of extending aid. The long duration of the depression brought a greater awareness of the basic elements of insecurity in our social and eco¬ nomic life, and prompted the adoption of more stable and more nearly adequate measures to com¬ bat the hazards of dependency and provide some security against future want. In describing the impact of these various developments on urban expenditures and patterns of aid, two complementary approaches have been used. Part of the report is focused on the data for the 116 urban areas combined and emphasizes the changes in prevailing trends and patterns of aid over the decade; the remainder is focused on the individual urban areas and emphasizes the extreme diversity in local trends and patterns of expenditure. From the combined urban data there emerges a composite picture of the fluctuations and shifts in emphasis that have characterized the national as well as the urban structure of public and private aid during the decade under review. Salient fea¬ tures of that picture include the tremendous growth in total outlays; the varying emphasis on compo¬ nent types of aid ; the introduction of new and more nearly adequate types of aid and the improvement in standards of care under previously existing types; the abrupt policy changes affecting the type of aid and the level of payments provided for needy employable persons; the increased differentiation among dependent groups; and the prevailing com¬ plexity and variation in eligibility requirements, procedures, and standards of care. Less apparent in the composite expenditure trends and patterns but equally important are the evolutionary changes that have taken place in public attitudes toward the treatment of dependency and the significant shifts that have occurred in the division of finan¬ cial, administrative, and supervisory responsibility for extending aid to various needy groups. The impressions conveyed by the combined ex¬ penditure data of complexity, variability, and lack of integrated control are confirmed and amplified by the comparative analysis of the trends and pat¬ terns of aid in the 116 separate areas. The series of diagrams for individual urban areas in appendix B and the expenditure data for the individual communities presented in appendix C provide the basic material for a detailed analysis and interpretation of the trends and patterns of aid in each of the 116 urban areas.^ The concern of the present report has been to call attention to the existence of diversity in almost every aspect > Such an analysis has already been made for one of the urban areas. See Geddes, Anne E., “Belief Trends In Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1929-37,” Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 1, No. 8 (August 1938), pp. 17-22. 1 of the relief structure, to indicate some of the manifold factors responsible for the wide interarea differences, and to suggest some of the more obvi¬ ous implications to be drawn from the great dis¬ parity in financial burdens, in amount and ade¬ quacy of aid provided to different classes of needy persons, and in legislative and administrative pro¬ visions governing the distribution of aid in these 116 urban areas. The report does not attempt a critical appraisal of the progress that has been made during the decade in adjusting an obsolete relief system to meet the new problems flhat have arisen, but it does indicate that the process of adjustment is not yet complete. There remain for the present decade the essential tasks of consolidating past gains and for¬ warding the development of an integrated, long- range program of public welfare and social security. I 2 • II • The Urban Series The urban series was initiated in 1929 by Ralph G. Hurlin of the Russell Sage Foundation; it was subsequently transferred to the United States Children’s Bureau, and later to the Social Security Board where it is now maintained as a current reporting project. The Russell Sage Foundation built up a collec¬ tion of monthly data for public and private relief agencies in 76 cities of the United States with populations of more than 100,000.^ As of January 1932 the United States Children’s Bureau assumed responsibility for the series and expanded it to include other urban areas, mostly between 50,000 and 100,000 in population. Monthly statistics on relief in some of these areas had been compiled since late in 1930 by the Children’s Bureau at the request of the President’s Emergency Com¬ mittee for Employment. For other areas monthly data had been collected in comiection with the Children’s Bureau project for the collection of social statistics in registration areas. A report on the urban series. Trends in Different Types of Public and Private Relief in Urban Areas, 1929-85, was prepared by Emma A. Winslow and published by the Children’s Bureau in 1937.^ As of July 1936 the urban relief series was transferred to the Social Security Board, where it is now maintained as a current reporting proj¬ ect of the Division of Assistance Analysis of the Bureau of Public Assistance. The content of the series was expanded by the Social Security Board to include earnings of persons employed under the Civil Works Program and on projects of the Works Progress Administration.^ Through the services of the regional public assistance ^ research representatives, the data reported by all participating agencies were checked from the be¬ ginning of the series and were revised wherever changes appeared to be indicated. Data for the urban areas were published monthly in the Social Security Bulletin from March 1938 thi’ough 1 Five Canadian cities were also included in the original series. 1 Bureau Publication No. 237. » As of July 1, 1939, the name of this agency was changed to Work Projects Administration. September 1941 and are now issued twice a year. Description of the Areas The 116 urban areas represented in the present series are located in 36 States and the District of Columbia. They are listed in appendix A, which shows the extent of each area and its popu¬ lation in 1930 and 1940 (p. 47). Considerable variation exists among the areas with respect to the territory covered. Of the 116 areas, 34, including the District of Columbia, are cities;^ 81 are counties® containing at least 1 city with 50,000 or more population; and 1 is an inde¬ pendent city and the surrounding county.® Six of the county areas — Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Pittsburgh — cover territory containing more than one city of 50,000 or more population.^ The 81 county areas vary widely in the proportion of the total population living within city limits. Some represent cities coextensive with the county;® some have only a small proportion of the total population outside city limits, while in others a substantial part of the population resides in outlying territory. When the urban series was originally established by the Russell Sage Foundation, the territory represented by the urban areas was in all instances the city. The Children’s Bureau modified certain of the areas to bring them into conformity with areas represented in the Children’s Bureau project for the registration of social statistics. These registration areas, for the most part more extensive ‘ Four of these cities — Baltimore, Md., and Norfolk, Richmond, and Roanoke, Va.— are inde pendent cities having the status of counties. A fifth— New York City— is the combination of five counties. s Two of the areas — New Orleans and Shreveport, La.— represent parishes but are classified as counties. « Data for St. Louis, Mo., cover outlays made within both the city and county jurisdictions. f These 6 areas contain 19 cities of 50,000 or more population. Cook County, Ill., includes Chicago, Cicero, Evanston, and Oak Park; Cuyahoga County, Ohio, includes Cleveland, Lakewood, and Cleveland Heights; Wayne County, Mich., includes Detroit, Dearborn, Hamtramck, and Highland Park; Los Angeles Coimty, Calif., includes Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pasadena, and Glendale; Alameda County, Calif., includes Oakland and Berkeley; and Allegheny County, Pa., includes Pittsburgh and McKeesport. s San Francisco, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and New Orleans, La. 3 than the city, were determined with reference to the territory served by the agencies participating in the registration project. Other areas not par¬ ticipating in the project were also extended to ensure as much comparability among areas as possible. It is necessary in making interarea comparisons to allow for differences in the nature of the territory covered. According to the Federal census of 1930, there were in the United States 93 cities of 100,000 or more population and 98 of from 50,000 to 100,000 population. The 116 urban areas represented in the series embrace 83 of the cities of more than 100,000 population and 46 of the 98 cities in the 50,000-100,000 population group. The aggregate population of the 116 urban areas in 1930 was 45,600,000, representing 37 percent of the total population and 66 percent of the total urban popu¬ lation ® of the United States, By 1940 the total population of the 116 reporting areas had increased to 49,100,000, but the proportions of the total population and total urban population of the United States represented by these areas were practically unchanged. Table 1 shows the dis¬ tribution of the urban areas and their population by five major geographic divisions^ — ^the New England, Middle Atlantic, North Central, South Atlantic and South Central, and Mountain and Pacific States^ — ^in both 1930 and 1940. The urban areas represented in the series comprise varying proportions of total and urban population in these geographic divisions. For example, in 1930, in the South 18 percent of the total popula¬ tion and 53 percent of the urban population were » Under the definition used by the Bureau of the Census, the urban popu¬ lation represents the population of cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 or more inhabitants. located in reporting areas, whereas in New England the reporting areas comprised 34 percent of the total population and 45 percent of the urban population. In each of the five geographic divi¬ sions, the ratios of the population of the reporting areas to the total population and the urban popula¬ tion changed only slightly from 1930 to 1940. Content of the Series Types of aid included in the urban series are public general relief, earnings under the programs of the Civil Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration, old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, and private relief. The series provides a record of the most substantial portion of public and private aid in the urban areas, although data are not included for certain programs, described later in this chapter, which have contributed to the relief of distress during this 10-year period. For the programs included in the series, the data represent payments in cash and in kind to families and individuals outside public institutions.^® They do not include the cost of administration or, in the case of work programs, of materials, supplies, and other items incident to the operation of projects. A brief description of the types of aid incorpo¬ rated in the urban series follows. Additional in¬ formation concerning specific programs is given in later chapters of the report. Public general relief .—The term general relief is used to describe relief administered from public funds which are not designated for special statu¬ tory relief programs. General relief is variously 10 A very small number of persons receiving old-age assistance, aid to de¬ pendent children, and aid to the blind are living in private institutions. 11 Some statutory veterans’ aid granted on the basis of need is included as general relief.

It is given to recipients in the form of cash or kind and may cover subsistence items, such as food, shelter, clothing, and household necessities, and provision for medical care and hospitalization. The amount of the general relief payment is ordinarily adjusted to the needs of the relief case at a given standard in accordance with the budget-deficit principle or some modification of that principle. It may be extended either as du'ect relief or as work relief. Direct relief is relief in return for which no systematic work has been performed by the re¬ cipient. Work relief is relief granted to a recipient who has performed work on an organized project in exchange for aid. The line of demarcation between direct and work relief in a general relief agency is often nebulous, since some agencies apply a work test or accept minor services from certain recipients but do not provide them with employ¬ ment on a systematic work program. The term work relief is not applied to earnings of persons employed on projects of the Civil Works Adminis¬ tration or the WPA, since earnings of such em¬ ployees have been determined on the basis of fixed wage rates and hours of employment rather than on the basis of the budgeted need used for work relief payments. During the decade covered by this report public general relief has been administered by a variety of agencies, among which are local poor-relief ofl&ces, departments of public welfare, and emer¬ gency relief administrations. During 1931 and 1932 emergency relief administrations operated in a number of urban areas under State legislation; from May 1933 through 1935 such administrations operated under rules and regulations of the Fed¬ eral Emergency Relief Administration. During the FERA period, relief distributed by the emer¬ gency relief administrations was financed from Federal, State, and local funds. General relief administered by poor-law offices has been financed entirely from local, or from State and local, funds. Work 'program earnings. — The urban series includes earnings under two of the major work programs initiated by the Federal Government — the Civil Works Program, comprising projects of both the Civil Works Administration and Civil Works Service, and the program operated by the WPA. Under the Civil Works Program, which was a recovery as well as a relief measure, half of the workers were drawn from the ranks of the general unemployed without certification of need. However, these employees included many who would have been found eligible for aid if a needs test had been applied, and many such per¬ sons were subsequently absorbed into the general relief program. Operating statistics of the Civil Works Program did not distinguish between em¬ ployees drawn from relief rolls and those recruited from the general unemployed. The data for the Civil Works Program represent total earnings of persons employed under the program, including the administrative staff. The Works Progress Administration, which became the Work* Projects Administration in July 1939, has operated since the summer of 1935. It finances and administers work projects for the employment, under an established wage scale, of workers certified as in need. Employment of non- certified persons has been limited to a small per¬ centage of total employment. State and local sponsors of WPA projects contribute funds, chiefly for materials and supplies, and local public agen¬ cies refer to the WPA persons eligible for employ¬ ment. Assignments to projects are made by the Federal agency and wages of project workers are paid from Federal funds. The data on WPA earnings represent payments to both certified and noncertified persons employed on projects operated by the WPA within the urban areas. Salaries of administrative personnel are not included. Data on earnings of persons em¬ ployed on projects financed by WPA funds but operated by other Federal agencies are not avail¬ able for the urban areas.^® Earnings data for projects operated by the WPA are not currently available according to the residence of employees; the data used are compiled according to area of employment. The extent to which this affects the comparability of the data varies from area to area. It should be noted also that the area cov¬ ered by CWA and WPA data is not always iden¬ tical with the urban area as defined in appendix A. Old-age assistance. — Prior to 1936, when Federal grants-in-aid for old-age assistance became avail¬ able under the Social Security Act, old-age H Data on the Civil Works Program for the continental United States exclude earnings of administrative staff. 13 Total earnings derived from such projects, which have been in operation only since July 1938, amounted to less than $30 million for the continental United States during the last half of 1938. Many of the projects were continu¬ ations of programs operated by other Federal agencies with funds appro¬ priated by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937. 5 assistance was financed entirely from State and local funds. States with approved plans for old- age assistance can now receive grants of Federal funds equivalent, within specified limitations, to half their total expenditures for cash payments to recipients. By the close of the decade reviewed here, all States were receiving such grants under the Social Security Act. The data on old-age assistance represent almost entirely cash payments to recipients but include some small amounts paid directly to persons or agencies furnishing medical care and/or hospitalization to recipients. Only unrestricted cash payments to recipients are matchable under the public assistance provi¬ sions of the Social Security Act. The data do not include expenditures for burial of recipients, which are frequently met from State and local funds for old-age assistance. Aid to dependent children. — The term aid to dependent children came into general use with the enactment of the Federal Social Security Act. Prior to that time, aid to dependent children was commonly known as mothers’ aid, mothers’ pensions, or aid to widows. Beginning in 1936, Federal grants-in-aid became available on a matching basis to States administering approved plans under the Social Security Act. By the close of 1938 all but 8 States containing 14 of the 116 urban areas were receiving such grants. The scope of the aid to dependent children program has been extended since the Social Security Act became operative. Prior to that time mothers’ aid programs were generally restricted to children of widowed mothers. Under the Social Security Act, aid may be granted in behalf of children who have been deprived of parental support through death, mental or phys¬ ical incapacity, or continued absence from the home of one or both parents, and who are living with any one of a number of relatives within the second degree of relationship recognized as eligible to receive payments for their care. Data on payments to recipients of aid to dependent children represent almost entirely cash payments but include small amounts for medical care and hospitalization which were paid directly to persons or agencies supplying these seiwices to recipients. Only direct, unconditional money payments to recipients are matchable under the At the end of 1941 only 3 States, containing 3 of the 116 urban areas, were not administering approved plans. 6 Social Security Act. Payments for care of children in foster homes are not considered aid to dependent children and are omitted entirely from this com¬ pilation. Such payments represent the most important omission of noninstitutional aid to children. Aid to the blind. — Aid to the needy blind was one of the fimt types of assistance to be developed for a special group of needy persons in this coun¬ try. In 1936 Federal grants-in-aid for aid to the blind became available to States with plans ap¬ proved by the Social Security Board. At the end of 1938 all but 8 States containing 23 of the 116 urban areas were participating under the act.^® As in old-age assistance and aid to dependent children. Federal funds may be used to match only direct, unconditional money payments to recipients. Aid to the blind is disbursed almost entirely in cash, but some payments are made directly to persons or agencies furnishing medical care and/or hospitalization to recipients. Private reliej. — -Alany different types of private or voluntary agencies administer relief, but in the vast majority of such agencies the relief function has been secondary to the service function. The relative importance of the service function has in¬ creased during the period under consideration. Among the private agencies disbursing relief in the urban areas are the nonsectarian, the Jewish and Catholic family societies, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, emergency relief com¬ mittees, and miscellaneous organizations. Emer¬ gency relief committees under private auspices were a depression phenomenon and were estab¬ lished as temporary agencies in the early phase of the unemployment crisis. Most of these emergency organizations were disbanded when the Federal Government assumed a share of the responsibility for the relief of dependency. Some of the emer¬ gency and other private organizations operated work relief programs, but, because of the difficulty of obtaining valid data, no attempt has been made in this report to classify expenditures from private funds as direct and work relief payments. Omitted from the data on private relief are un¬ organized private charity and direct assistance ex¬ tended by labor unions, fraternal organizations, private industrial and business welfare groups, and local church and school organizations. 15 By the close of 1941, 2 of these States containing 6 of the 110 urban areas had been added to those administering approved plans. Programs Not Included Although the urban series includes the principal assistance and work programs operated in urban areas, some programs with relief attributes are omitted because expenditure data are not avail¬ able on an individual-area basis. Among the programs not represented in the series are three special programs operated by the FERA — the emergency education, student aid, and transient programs. Outlays for these pro¬ grams, which were concentrated in 1934 and 1935, were small in relation to total public and private aid, and omission of the data is consequently of slight importance. Data are likewise not available for transient care provided under State and local programs. Also omitted from the series is the program of the Civilian Conservation Corps, originally the Emergency Conservation Work, which has been in continuous existence since April 1933. The operations of this agency are primarily outside the large urban areas, and statistics on earnings of enrollees, many of whom have been drawn from urban areas, are not available according to local residence. Eligibility rules on this program have varied from time to time, but a large proportion of the enrollees have been selected from relief families and have been required to send to their families a substantial share of their monthly earnings. Thus a considerable amount of aid has been supplied through CCC channels to families living in the urban areas. Local data are not regularly available for the student aid and work programs of the National Youth Administration, which was established in 1935. In view of the fact that payments to recipients from the creation of the agency to the end of 1938 amounted to $180 million for the total United States, it is clear that omission of these programs does not greatly affect the data for the 116 urban areas. The omission of data on Federal surplus com¬ modities distributed in the 116 urban areas may be more significant. The Federal Surplus Com¬ modities Coi-poration,^® formerly called the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, purchases surplus agricultural products as an agricultural relief measure. These commodities are distributed to needy persons and to welfare organizations, but the welfare objective is secondary to that of pro¬ viding agricultural aid. Except for data con¬ cerning the food stamp plan, statistics on surplus commodity distribution have been compiled in terms of quantities of goods issued rather than in terms of expenditures, and no data are available which make it possible to estimate the monthly value of surplus commodities distributed in the urban areas since the program was initiated in October 1933. However, such commodities are known to have constituted an appreciable share of the aid distributed in some areas, although not a large share of the total aid extended in the com¬ bined urban areas. The urban series differs from the integrated series on public assistance and Federal work programs published by the Social Security Board for the continental United States in that it does not include data for “other Federal agency projects financed from emergency funds.”*^ During the period under review the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, which became in 1939 the Public Works Administration, ac¬ counted for the largest share of employment on projects classified as “other” in the national series. Projects falling in this group gave em¬ ployment to considerable numbers of certified workers but also employed persons from the open labor market without the requirement of certifi¬ cation of need.** •• On July 1, 1940, this agency became part of the Surplus Marketing Administration of the Department of Agriculture.

Prevailing upward trends in employment and national income were abruptly reversed. Curtailed economic activity was followed promptly by widespread unemployment and want and by a progressive rise in expenditures for public and private aid to the needy unemployed. The cause-and-effect relationship between the unemployment crisis and the initial upward sweep in relief costs was direct and unmistakable. Relief payments moved upward with unem¬ ployment during 1930, 1931, and 1932 as the Nation watched anxiously for the end of the depression and a revival of economic activity which would bring both unemployment and relief back to normal levels. Unemployment, as measured by the subsequent estimates of several different authorities, reached its peak in March 1933, but there was no immediate commensurate ‘^drop in relief expenditures (chart 1). The cumu¬ lative effects of acute economic distress had not yet been fully registered. Instead of a diminishing relief problem there was compelling need for still greater outlays to care for the mounting burden of dependency caused by prolonged unemploy¬ ment and the gradual depletion and exhaustion of savings and other resources among persons who had at first been able to maintain themselves without public aid. The extraordinary growth in expenditures and other fundamental changes that have occurred in the relief structure since March 1933 undoubtedly had their impetus in the unprecedented volume of unemployment during the depression years. The estimated trend of households and persons aided in the continental United States followed roughly the estimated trend of unemployment after 1933,^ but the relationship between relief outlays and 1 Work Projects Administration, Report on Progress of the WPA Program, June SO, im, pp. 137-138. economic trends was no longer simple and direct. More nearly adequate standards of relief payments and the introduction of new forms of aid through Federal and State programs were important factors influencing the course of relief expenditures in 1933 and subsequent years. Moreover, the mere existence of large-scale relief programs, financed by public funds and with more or less well-defined eligibility requirements, inevitably resulted in the declaration of need that had existed long before the depression but had hitherto been ignored or met in very inadequate fashion by friends and relatives or unorganized private charity. The first Federal relief agency — the CCC — was created in April 1933, almost a month after the low point of the depression had been reached. Unem¬ ployment was near its height and national income payments ^ near their lowest ebb at this time (chart 1). Beginning in the spring of 1933 income payments moved slowly upward, with a brief spurt in 1936 reflecting veterans’ bonus payments, until the last months of 1937. The acute recession in economic activity at that time caused a temporary decline lasting until the middle of 1938, when income payments again started upward. Unem¬ ployment decreased slowly and irregularly over most of this period, with a sharp upward spurt from the fall of 1937 to the following summer. After July 1938 the unemployment series moved downward but at the end of the year were still well above their low points of 1937. Meanwhile, total outlays for public and private aid continued an irregular advance toward 1938 peaks. They reached their highest point in the decade in December 1938, more than 5 years after the estimated peak in unemployment and 9 years after the first impact of the depression. Unemployment still loomed as the major economic and social problem of the Nation when J Estimates of national income payments indicate the flow of income to individuals on a monthly basis and provide a current measure of consumer purchasing power. They are to be distinguished from annual estimates of national income produced, which measure the net value of the Nation’s economic output. 8 the decade closed. Improvement in economic conditions had restored jobs to many millions of Chart 1.— Expenditures for public and private aid in 116 urban areas as related to estimates of national unemployment and national income payments, Jan¬ uary 1929— December 1938 MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AID'^t t Estimates of U.

Accurate measures of employment and unemplo3anent do not exist, but available esti¬ mates all indicate that unemployment was still severe at the close of 1938 despite the fact that indexes of production, employment, and national income payments recorded a very substantial degree of recovery. It must be realized, of course, that not all the expansion in relief expenditures during the decade under review is attributable to increased aid to the needy unemployed, and that a more accurate com¬ parison of changes in the volume of relief with changes in the volume of unemployment could be made if it were possible to subtract assistance granted to unemployable persons from total pub¬ lic and private aid.® Unfortunately, such a sub¬ traction cannot even be approximated. Separate data are avaOable on payments under special pro¬ grams for certain groups of unemployable persons — the aged, dependent children, and the blind — but no basis exists for distinguishing payments to unemployable persons under programs for public general relief or private aid. Relation of Urban to National Trends The curve of public and private aid in chart 1 relates to the 116 urban areas and not to the total United States, but it is believed to parallel closely the national trend in outlays for public and private aid during most, if not all, of the 10-year period. Comparable expenditure data are not available on a national scale for the first 4 years of the decade, but the striking similarity in national and urban- area trends in public aid from 1933 to the end of 1938 is apparent from chart 2.^ The contours of the two trends might not be quite as similar if private relief and the omitted types of public aid could be included in both series, but the essential likeness would remain. It seems reasonable to assume that there was > In this report the terms “employable” and “unemployable” are used in their broad, commonly accepted meanings, that is, to distinguish individuals or groups of individuals who are capable of self-support (provided employ¬ ment opportunities are available) from those (young children and their mothers) who are not expected to maintain themselves and those who are seriously handicapped in the competitive labor market because of old age or physical or mental disability. It is obvious that many persons who are unemployable at a particular time within a particular economic situation are not unemployable in the absolute sense of being completely unable to perform economic activity. * To facilitate comparison, the two diagrams have been standardized tor mass; for explanation of the method used, see appendix B, p. 48. 9 somewhat less similarity in trend from 1929 to the close of 1932. Private relief then formed a more significant share of total outlays, and local relief organizations were still bearing the main respon¬ sibility for emergency relief of the unemployed. Large urban areas were more immediately affected by the economic crisis than were other portions of the country, and were more likely to have organ¬ ized relief channels through which funds could be raised and the needy unemployed could make known their distress and receive aid. For these reasons, the proportion of total national aid ex¬ tended in the 116 urban areas was undoubtedly greater in the years preceding 1933 than in subse¬ quent years. Even after 1933 the proportion of total public aid in the 116 urban areas was considerably greater than the proportion of the total population living within those areas. Comparison of the urban- area expenditures with those of the total United States is possible only for the types of aid covered in chart 2, i. e., public general relief, earnings under the CWA and on projects of the WPA, and the three special types of public assistance. In 1933 almost half — 48 percent — of the total amount expended in the United States for these types of aid was distributed in the 116 urban areas, al¬ though the combined population of the areas in 1930 was only 37 percent of the national total. The share of the national aggregate expended in these urban areas was even greater in subsequent years, reaching a maximum of 56 percent in 1936. In 1938 the urban areas accounted for 49 percent of all public outlays for these types of aid.® The 10-Year Bill Outlays in the 116 urban areas for public and private aid of the types included in this series aggregated almost $6.9 billion for the decade 1929-38, an impressive 10-year bill for the alleviation of distress in areas containing less than two-fifths of the total population of the Nation. Much of the bill was for the relief of need arising directly from the economic disaster of the early 1930’s and may be looked upon as de¬ pression expenditures swelling the normal costs of caring for the destitute and needy in these areas. But there is evidence that urban relief 5 For a discussion of the varying proportions of total outlays represented by the several component types of aid distributed in the 116 urban areas, see pp. 31-33. costs were in a process of expansion for many years before the unemployment crisis.® Even in 1929, following an era of conspicuous business prosperity, the relief bill for the 116 urban areas exceeded $47 million. By contrast with the amount spent in subsequent years this sum may be considered a relatively small outlay. With the exception of 1937, each succeeding year in the decade saw increased outlays for total public and private aid. The $47 million spent in 1929 represents less than 1 percent of the aggregate outlay for the 10-year period. Only 8 percent more of the aggregate was spent during the following 3-year period, which led to the depths of the depression and the entrance of the Federal Government into active relief operations. Nearly 36 percent was expended during the next 3 years, 1933-35, but the major portion of the $6.9 billion total, 55 percent, was spent during the last 3 years of the decade. Trend in Total Outlays The irregular upward course of total monthly expenditures for public and private aid in the 116 urban areas is shown graphically in chart 1; the aggregate monthly outlays on which the chart is based appear in table C-1. As a measure of total relief burdens the trend in combined expenditures is impaired somewhat by the omission of data for certain programs and of administrative costs for aU programs, but it is nonetheless an effective indicator of the chaiiges that have occurred in the amount of aid extended to the needy in these areas. Unfortunately, there are no data by which one can measure changes over the decade in the total volume of need existing within the areas. There are not even satisfactory data by which to measure changes in the numbers of households and persons whose wants were met, in varying degrees of adequacy, by the outlays made under the com¬ bined assistance and work programs. Consoli¬ dated data on households and persons aided, were they available on an unduplicated basis, would afford a valuable record of the proportions of the population of these areas receiving aid at different points of time, but they would not measure fluc¬ tuations in the volume of need.

These same factors would lead one to expect marked divergence between a con¬ solidated trend of households and persons aided in the 116 urban areas and the monthly expenditure trend shown in chart 1 . During most of 1929, combined monthly expen¬ ditures for relief in the 116 urban areas were at the comparatively low level of about $4 million. A pronounced upward shift occurred at the close of that year, and by March 1933, some 3 years later, monthly expenditures were nearly 11 times as large as in January 1929. Liberal wage pay¬ ments under the short-lived CWA resulted in a total bUl for January 1934 of $115.6 million, a sum 28 times as great as the amount for January 1929 and 2}i times the $45 million paid out in March 1933. The drop from this high point was as sudden as the rise to it, but expenditures did not return to their pre-CWA level. The upward movement was again under way by the middle of 1934. The further climb to 1938 levels was accomplished in three major advances, each leading to a temporary peak and subsequent decline in monthly expenditures. The first steep advance continued to January 1935. The second began in the fall of that year and ended in March 1936, with a total expenditure in that month with¬ in $800,000 of the high point under the CWA. The third major advance began in the summer of 1937 and ended in December 1938 with an outlay of $130.8 million, well above the highest monthly figure in any previous year. Thus the decade under review ended with a maximum expenditure for these 116 m’ban areas almost 32 times as great as that for January 1929. • OlKSeU UU tauie . , . ^ .l* I. rm fEarnings of all persons employed under the Civil Works Program, mcluding the administrative staff. ttEarnings on projects operated by the WPA within the areas. 13 Development of Component Programs Viewed solely in relation to economic indexes, the trend of expenditures for public and private aid seems illogical and unpredictable. The con¬ spicuous lack of agreement of the relief curve with the trends of unemployment and national income payments during the latter part of the decade is understandable only in the light of the evolution¬ ary changes that have occurred in the underlying relief structure. A chronological account of relief developments since 1929 will contribute to a better understanding of the roles played by the various programs and their individual and joint effects on the over-all trend of expenditures. It will also indicate the dynamic character of the national relief problem and the important advances that were made during the decade in the treatment of the problem. Chart 3 affords a panoramic view of outlays for public and private aid over the entire period, re¬ vealing the ebb and flow of monthly payments under the component programs. The annual ex¬ penditure figures are given in table 2 and the monthly figures in table C-1. The 10-year picture is telescoped in chart 4 to show the shares of the aggregate outlay expended under each program and for each type of aid. Prelude to Federal participation, 1929-32.— -At the opening of the decade relief was still primarily a local responsibility, with some States participat¬ ing to a limited degree in providing aid to special classes. Contrary to popular belief, it was not a responsibility met primarily by voluntary con¬ tributions dispensed through private channels. Even in the largely predepression year of 1929, public funds paid three-fourths of the aggregate relief bill for these 116 urban areas. Considerably more than half of the public relief in 1929 was statutory aid to two special groups — dependent children and the blind. The lesser share was for general poor relief dispensed, for the most part, by local overseers of the poor or county commissioners in accordance with anti¬ quated poor-relief laws. Such relief was granted to destitute employable persons as well as unem¬ ployable persons not eligible for existing forms of categorical relief, but it carried with it a label of pauperism and a distinct social stigma. Some of the local poor laws imposed a pauper’s oath and required apphcants to waive certain political and civil rights as a prerequisite to receiving aid. Public relief agencies were ill-equipped, both administratively and financially, to meet the initial impact of the unemployment crisis, and it was natural, therefore, that families faced with sudden economic distress should turn to private agencies for relief and care. As early as the late autumn of 1929 private social agencies began to feel the increasing burden of need. Public relief costs also began to expand during these first months of the depression but at a somewhat slower rate. The strain on both private and public resources increased as the months passed and the depression became more acute. Local governments were faced with dwindling resources and a widening gap between demands for assistance and their ability to meet those demands. Many local governments were hampered by statutory limita¬ tions on the taxation of real estate, the chief source of local revenue, and nearly all were affected by declining property values and mounting tax delinquencies. Under the growing burden of dis¬ tress, current revenues were soon exhausted and localities were forced to borrow funds. Demands for assistance, far from abating, became more numerous and more urgent, over¬ taxing completely the resources of existing relief mechanisms. Gradual recognition of the disaster proportions of the unemployment crisis led to the creation in October 1930 of the President’s Emergency Committee for Employment, and in August 1931 of the President’s Organization on Unemployment Relief. Under the stimulus of these groups, local committees were formed in most of the larger urban areas to devise temporary means of helping the imemployed. Recovery, like pros¬ perity, was then assumed to be “just around the corner,” and stopgap measures rather than long¬ time relief policies engaged the attention of these committees. Reemployment and make-work drives of all kinds were launched in an endeavor to check the further spread of unemployment and to hasten the expected economic revival. City¬ wide relief campaigns, directed by prominent citizens, were organized to raise funds for the destitute unemployed. The upward spurt in private relief outlays in the winter of 1930-31 reflects the valiant efforts of these emergency committees to meet the rising volume of need among the urban unemployed. In the winter of 1931-32 voluntary contributions 14 Chart 4. — Percentage 11 '■V PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND EARNINGS 96.6% PRIVATE RELIEF 3.4% flistribiition of $6,853 million expended for public and private aid, 116 urban areas, 1929-38 ‘ EARNINGS ON WORK PROGRAMS AND WORK RELIEF 50.9% DIRECT assistance 49.1% C EARNINGS ON PROJECTS OPERATED BY THE WPA 37.2% EARNINGS UNDER THE CIVIL WORKS PROGRAM 4.4% WORK RELIEF 9.3% PUBLIC V GENERAL RELIEF DIRECT RELIEF 35.3% 44.6% AID TO THE BLIND 5% AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN 4.0% OLD-AGE ASSISTANCE 5.9% PRIVATE -RELIEF 3.4% SPECIAL TYPES OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE 10.4% I Based on table 2. 15 to emergency relief campaigns were even greater in amount, but private relief funds represented a distinctly smaller share of the total relief outlays. By January 1932 monthly expenditures from private funds had reached their peak for the decade and thereafter declined rapidly, both in actual amount and as a percentage of total expenditures for aid in the 116 urban areas. From a maximum proportion of 29 percent in 1931 they shrank by 1935 to about 1 percent of aggregate outlays. Continued expansion in public relief outlays during the winter of 1931-32 was made possible only by a gradual shift in financial responsibility from local to State governments. Fourteen States, containing 65 of the 116 urban areas, passed special legislation in 1931 providing funds for the needy unemployed. Four other States, containing 9 of the urban areas, voted their first appropriation for unemployment relief in 1932.^ The initial move toward Federal participation in relief financing was made in July 1932, when the Emergenc}^ Relief and Construction Act was passed, authorizing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make loans to the States and local subdivisions for relief purposes.® Two years later State obligations under this act were canceled by congressional action,® so that Federal funds for unemployment relief actually became avail¬ able with the negotiation of the first RFC loans for relief purposes. Earlier in 1932 Federal funds had been used to purchase large quantities of surplus wheat and cotton which were distributed to needy families through the facilities of the American Red Cross, but this measure was pri¬ marily designed for farm and not unemployment relief.'® ' For dates of first legislation financing unemployment relief in the various States, see Lowe, Robert C., Digest of State Legislation for the Financing of Emergency Relief, January 1, 19Sl-June 30, 19SB, Municipal Finance Section, Federal Emergency Relief Administration; and Lowe, Robert C., and staff.

Loans made to local jurisdictions were secured by bond issues; outstanding balances of such loans were canceled by congressional action on Feb. 24, 1938. 10 The total amount expended by the Federal Government for the purchase, processing, and distribution of surplus wheat and cotton in 1932 and 1933 was $73,598,452. See American Red Cross, The Distribution of Government-Owned Wheat and Cotton, June 1, 1934, pp. 80-83. Expenditure data for the 116 urban areas do not include the value of surplus wheat or cotton distributed in those areas, or the value of surplus commodities distributed after October 1933 by the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation and its successor agencies. The RFC loans afforded a new source of funds for harassed States and localities and sustained the upward trend in relief expenditures in the face of an increasingly critical relief situation. It was obvious by the end of the year, however, that more direct Federal action was necessary. The bonus march to Washington in 1932 had helped to focus attention on the plight of the unemployed and to crystallize public opinion in favor of some Federal action to combat the widespread unem¬ ployment and distress caused by a major break¬ down in the national economy. In the depth of the depression, with unemployment near its peak for the decade, the Congress acted to establish a Nation-wide emergency relief program under Federal auspices. Emergency reliej measures under Federal aus¬ pices, 1933-35. — The first Federal Emergency Relief Act was approved by the President on May 12, 1933." It appropriated funds for a com¬ prehensive program of direct and work relief to be administered by the States and localities in coop¬ eration with the Federal Government. The FERA was created, with a 2-year span of existence, and the administrator was authorized to make grants-in-aid to the States for relief purposes and to prescribe such rules and regulations as would ensure their effective and efficient use. Later acts extended the life of the program and financed Federal grants totaling more than $3 billion by the end of 1935. Certain basic policies governing Federal par¬ ticipation in emergency relief activities that were laid down in connection with the FERA have had far-reaching effects on the relief structure. Nota¬ ble among these policies were the use of matching and discretionary grants of Federal funds, the acceptance of work projects as a form of Federal aid, the differentiation of programs to meet special needs, and the insistence that Federal funds be expended only through public agencies and in accordance with established minimum standards and broad policy regulations. The act itself made it clear that Federal aid was to supplement and not displace State and local support of emergency relief activities. The first grants were made on a matching basis, in the ratio of $1 of Federal funds for every $3 of public funds expended within the State during the previous 3 » The Emergency Conservation Work, known later as the Civilian Con¬ servation Corps, was established a month earlier to provide training and useful work for unemployed young men. 16 months. Unmatched grants were to be made when State resources plus available matching funds were found by the administrator to be insufficient to meet existing need. State emer¬ gency relief administrations were required to assume responsibility for the expenditure of Fed¬ eral funds through local emergency relief adminis¬ trations or other public agencies. The turning over of funds to private agencies was strictly pro¬ hibited after August 1, 1933. FERA regulations sought to limit the use of Federal emergency funds to the relief of hardship and distress caused by unemployment and forbade their use for institutional care or for aid to special classes and other normal welfare activities of the States and local subdivisions. Payments were not restricted to employable persons, however, and aid was extended under the direct relief program to large numbers of unemployable persons when the States and localities were unable to finance assist¬ ance to such persons. At the same time emphasis was placed on the development of work projects that would afford useful employment to able- bodied relief applicants. The preponderant share of emergency relief was extended under the broad dual program of direct and work relief, but several minor programs were devised to meet the special needs of certain rela¬ tively small groups of dependent persons. Two of these programs, rural rehabilitation and student aid, were subsequently transferred to other Fed¬ eral agencies; the emergency education program was eventually brought within the scope of the diversified Federal work program that succeeded the FERA. The FERA transient program was discontinued; some transients obtained employ¬ ment on WPA projects and others were given transportation to their place of legal settlement or received assistance under State and local general relief programs.^^ The first grants of FERA funds were made on May 23, 1933, and served to maintain relief ex¬ penditures at prevailing levels. A gradual rise in average payments was effected during these early months of Federal participation in relief activities, counterbalancing in part a temporary, seasonal decline in relief loads. Improvement in standards was manifest not only in higher average payments but in the greater emphasis on work relief and the •• The urban series does not include data for any of the FERA special programs. encouragement given to payment of benefits in cash instead of in kind. The early work relief program of the FERA focused, for the most part, on small-scale projects, many of which had been initiated under State or local auspices prior to the FERA. Projects were of short dmation and confined largely to the performance of unskilled work. A policy of “fair” or “prevailing” wage rates was established, but monthly earnings were intended to be related to the budget deficit of the relief family in the same manner as direct relief payments. By November 1933 the decision had been reached to launch a new and intensive program of public works which would provide more jobs on more useful projects and at the same time speed recovery by releasing purchasing power to millions of unemployed. The Federal Civil Works Program was created by an executive order issued November 9 under authority of title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act.^® The program was designed as a bold offensive against the depression and the con¬ tinuing burdens of unemployment and relief, and, unlike the FERA, was federally administered. An employment goal of four million was set for the new program. Approximately two million persons were to be transferred directly from the general relief rolls. Another two million were to be hired from the general ranks of the unemployed without the imposition of any test of destitution or need. Wages and hours on CWA jobs were to be the same as those on regular public works projects administered by the Public Works Adminis¬ tration.^^ Earnings of employees were not to be linked to their budgetary needs but to the kind and quantity of work performed. The wholesale transfer of needy employable persons from FERA work projects to CWA jobs took place almost overnight. The shift from subsistence wages to regular earnings obviously meant a sudden rise in the standard of living for some two million relief families; it meant also a precipitous rise in public outlays for their care. n This act was passed in June 1933 and authorized the appropriation of $3,300 million “to encourage national industrial recovery, to foster fair compe¬ tition, and to provide for the construction of certain useful public works, and for other purposes.” n The Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works (PWA) had been established in June 1933 to help direct the extended program of normal public works authorized by the National Industrial Recovery Act. These projects were let by contract to private employers, wages were at prevailing rates, hours of work were normal, and employees were hired in the open labor market. 17 Still greater advances in costs were incurred by the hhing of about two million unemployed persons not in receipt of public aid at the time of employment. Within the span of a few weeks the rate of outlay for relief and earnings was more than doubled. Expenditures in the 116 urban areas rose by 188 percent between October 1933 and January 1934. In the latter month CWA monthly earnings reached a maximum of $85.4 million and accounted for nearly three-fourths of a record total expenditure of $115.6 million for public and private aid in these areas. The heav^'’ burden of CWA wages was maintained for only a brief time. Reductions in hours and pay rolls were ordered almost as soon as employment goals were reached, and the progi'am was officially terminated as of the close of March 1934. Out¬ lays for CWA dropped abruptly, and with them total outlays for relief and earnings. Suspension of the CWA was followed by the creation of an Emergency Work Relief Program within the general relief programs of the State and local emergency relief administrations. Outlays for work relief under the FERA had been curtailed almost to the vanishing point during the CWA, but direct relief expenditures had continued to expand. With the suspension of CWA operations at the end of March, eligible persons on the pay rolls were ordered transfeiTed to the Emergency Work Relief Program. New employees were to be accepted only on proof of need, and wages for all employees were to be regulated strictly in accordance with budgetary needs. With the renewed emphasis on emergency work relief proj¬ ects and the continued expansion of the direct relief burden, general relief outlays once more dominated the emergency relief structure and the Federal Government continued to be a dominant factor in the financing and supervision of the general relief program. FERA and other general relief outla3''s were at their maximum in January 1935 when the Presi¬ dent, in his annual message to Congress, voiced the need for a reallocation of the responsibilities for public aid. Declaring that “work must be found for able-bodied but destitute workers” and that “the Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief,” he proposed a definite separation of the two tasks of providing work for the unemplo3’'ed and relief for other classes of dependent persons. Responsibility for the fii’st was placed squarely on the Federal Government. Responsibility for the second, it was insisted, must be returned to the States and localities, with such Federal participation as might be provided through the permanent social security legislation then pending. A joint resolution of Congress on April 8, 1935, laid the legislative ground work for the contem¬ plated change in Federal policy, and on May 6, 1935, an executive order was issued creating the WPA. This new Federal agency was charged with primary responsibility for organizing a broad work program to furnish employment at security wage levels for able-bodied workers then on relief roUs of the FERA and such others as later became destitute. Various permanent and newly created agencies participated in the new program, but projects operated directly by the WPA through State and local administrations have afforded by far the greatest volume of employ¬ ment and earnings.’® Persons referred by local emergency relief administrations as eligible for employment were assigned to WPA jobs at fixed monthly wages, without regard to varying family needs. Employ¬ ment was at prevailing wage rates, with hours, of work adjusted to yield an established security wage. WPA earnings have been graduated ac¬ cording to the skill of the worker and the loca¬ tion of the project, but in general they have provided a standard of family living far above the subsistence scale authorized under the FERA program. The transfer of eligible workers to WPA jobs began in August 1935 and proceeded rapidly during the next few months. By December, FERA emergency work relief was reduced to a small fraction of its former volume and direct relief had been severely curtailed in the face of imminent withdrawal of Federal support. The last Federal grants were determined in December 1935, and at the close of that year the FERA ceased to function as an active relief agency. The WPA replaced it as the main channel of Federal aid to the unemployed, and the State and local agencies were forced to take over the burden of direct relief to needy unemploy¬ able persons. The only Federal funds available for direct relief were some unexpended balances The urban series does not include earnings on projects other than those operated by the WPA. 18 of gi-ants determined before January 1, 1936.'® Federal assistance in the financing of special types of assistance was promised under the Social Security Act, which had been approved in August 1935. Congress did not at that time appropriate the necessary funds, but matching grants-in-aid were to become available early in the following year to States with public assistance plans ap¬ proved by the Social Security Board. Beginnings of a Federal security 'program, 1936- 38. — Since the end of 1935 the composition of the m-ban relief structure has not been altered by any major shifts in legislation or administrative policy, but it has undergone marked changes of an evolutionary nature. The enactment of the Social Security Act caused no immediate trans¬ formation in the composite relief pattern, but it instituted vital changes that gathered momen¬ tum in subsequent years. The public assistance provisions of the act became operative in February 1936” and stimu¬ lated a prompt expansion in old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind in the urban areas. The availability of Federal grants-in-aid hastened the spread of new State legislation for these forms of assistance and en¬ couraged broader coverage and higher payments under laws already in operation. The public as¬ sistance curve moved upward at an accelerated rate during 1936 and contributed materially to the over-all rise in relief outlays during the last 3 years of the decade under consideration. The Federal work program under WPA con¬ tinued to expand during the opening months of 1936. WPA earnings in the urban areas mounted each month until March 1936, when they aggre- i gated more than two-thirds of the combined ex¬ penditures for public and private aid. During the balance of the decade they fluctuated with eco¬ nomic conditions and available funds but suffered I no serious diminution in relative importance. >6 For the country af a whole such balances were relatively unimportant, but in some States where State and/or local fimds were extremely limited they were the source of a substantial share of general relief expenditures during part or all of 1936. 17 Other provisions of the Social Security Act that may be expected to influence expenditure trends for public and private aid include the Federal grants to States for maternal and child health and welfare services, public health and vocational rehabilitation, and the broad insurance programs set up for unemployment compensation and old-age and survivors’ benefits. Payments under State unemployment compensation laws began in Wisconsin in July 1936 but in no other States until 1938; monthly benefits imder the federally operated old-age insurance system first became payable in J anuary 1940. The Railroad Retirement Act, approved August 29, 1935, provided I for a federally operated retirement system for aged and disabled railroad I workers; benefits under this system were first paid in July 1936. They continued to represent, as chart 3 shows, the largest single component of the relief structure. Successive appropriation acts modified the scope and conditions of employment on work projects but made no fundamental change in the objec¬ tives or basis of extending aid. Improvement in economic conditions during 1936 and the first half of 1937 permitted a sharp retrenclunent in WPA operations. This decline was cut short in the fall of 1937, when a slump in general economic condi¬ tions forced an expansion in WPA employment to counteract the effects of a sharp contraction in private pay rolls. After 1935, public general relief declined ma¬ terially in volume with the substitution of other forms of public aid and the decentralization of fiscal and administrative responsibility. Never¬ theless, it remained a major component of the relief structure. Despite the removal of millions of needy employable persons to work programs and the absorption of millions of needy unem¬ ployable persons in a permanent public assistance program, general relief continued to absorb almost a fourth of annual outlays for public and private aid in the 116 urban areas. Most of this amount was dispensed as direct relief payments, scaled to meet the needs of those accepted for care at the levels recognized by general relief agencies and in many instances failing to reach even those levels. Private relief had by 1936 been stabilized at approximately predepression levels and was sub¬ sequently a small, although dependable, contribu¬ tor to relief expenditures in these 116 areas. Developments under the insurance provisions of the Social Security Act undoubtedly played a part in shaping relief trends in the last year of the decade. During that year, unemployment bene¬ fits first became payable to workers in 30 States qualifying under unemployment compensation laws set up under the provisions of the Social Security Act. These States, together with Wis¬ consin, which began payments in 1936, contain 88 of the 116 urban areas. There is no way of know¬ ing how many persons in these urban areas were kept off relief and WPA rolls by the receipt of unemployment benefits during 1938, but it is certain that the total expenditures shown in both charts 1 and 3 would have risen even higher if the unemployment compensation program had not been in existence. 18 Including the District of Columbia. 19 Trends of Component Types of Aid With the relief pattern of the decade spread before us, the trends in expenditures for compon¬ ent types of aid can be viewed in their proper set¬ ting as interrelated elements of the composite relief trend. But changes in the relief pattern have a qualitative significance far beyond their effect on the total cost of public and private aid. A shift in emphasis from one type of aid to another may make little difference in the composite relief trend but a vast difference in the amount and kind of aid provided for different classes of needy per¬ sons. The previous section has directed attention to the interplay among programs and the major economic, legislative, and administrative changes that have influenced relief trends; the present section traces the net effects of these changes on each of the component types of aid. Private relief.- — Three years after the decade opened, the monthly outlay for private relief in these 116 urban areas was more than 8 times the $1. 1-million outlay of January 1929; 3 years later, the average monthly outlay was not far above the $l-million level of predepression months. The expansion in public aid has reduced these outlays to an insignificant proportion of the total expendi¬ tures for public and private aid in these areas, but it has not led, as many persons feared it might, to a disappearance of private charity or to a serious decline of expenditures below predepres¬ sion levels. Aside from the first few years of the depression, when emergency relief campaigns pushed private relief expenditures far above former levels, public agencies have assumed all the added burden of aid in these urban areas, but they have not conspicuously lightened the load borne by private organizations. The sharp ups and downs in the private relief curve dirring the critical years of 1930-33 are shown in chart 5. They reflect the prompt and generous response of private citizens to the emer¬ gency relief drives and reveal also the marked concentration of private expenditures in the winter months when relief needs were greatest. Public general relief. — The trend of public general relief over this period, as shown in chart 6, is closely linked to the evolution of Federal policy concerning unemployment relief measures. In a very real sense, general relief is a residual element in the public relief structure and hence reflects any major changes that occur in the provisions for other types of aid. Chart 5. — Expenditures for private reliefs 116 urban areas, January 1929-December 1938 ^ 20 Until the fall of 1933 public general relief shared with private relief the task of caring for the growing volume of need caused by unemployment. Part of the expansion that occurred during these years in the cost of old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind was a secondary result of unemployment and reduced income among relatives formerly responsible for the care of such dependent persons, but these special types of assistance were not an important factor in the emergency relief situation since they were not intended to provide aid to needy employ¬ able persons. State and local funds, augmented in 1932 by RFC loans, supported almost a twenty-six-fold increase in monthly outlays for public general relief in these areas from January 1929 to March 1933, 2 months before Federal funds were made available for grants under the FERA general relief program. Total general relief outlays were fairly stable in the initial period of operation under the FERA program, but there was a further up¬ ward shift in the relative importance of work relief, which had formed a minor, although steadily increasing, part of the emergency relief dispensed by the States and localities. During the summer months of 1933 work relief payments represented about one-third of the general relief extended in these urban areas. Establishment of the CWA brought the work relief phases of the FERA to a virtual halt and caused an immediate slump in the general relief curve from $37 million in November 1933 to $25 million in January 1934. Curtailment of the CWA and inauguration of the Emei^ency Work Relief Program within the FERA soon reversed the decline and set in motion a strong upward movement that carried general relief outlays to $80 million in January 1935, the peak for the decade. This figure represented a rise of only 113 percent above the highest monthly outlay prior to the first FERA grants, but a fifty-six-fold increase from the first month of 1929. A decline in general relief outlays beginning in the first half of 1935 was accelerated thereafter by the decision of the Federal Government to end its support of general relief and confine its participa¬ tion in unemployment relief to the provision of jobs for the able-bodied unemployed through the WPA and related work programs. From the beginning of 1936 public general rehef again be¬ came a function solely of the States and localities, although it was the intention of the Federal Government to limit State and local responsibility Chart 6. — Expenditures for public general relief , 116 urban areas, January 1929-December 1938 ^ MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 100 60 20 21 to the care of dependent persons unable to work. The intended removal of employable persons from the realm of public general relief, however, was only partially effective. Limited WPA funds, coupled with the administrative difficulties of obtaining sponsorship for and maintaining suitable projects in every locality for the employment of all eligible applicants, left a varying but always large number of able-bodied unemployed dependent on public general relief for such assistance as the States and localities could or would provide. The drop in general relief outlays in the 116 urban areas after the withdrawal of Federal sup¬ port was substantial but relatively less than in the United States as a whole. From December 1935, when the last Federal grants were determined, to the low point in relief outlays preceding the 1937 recession in economic activity, public general relief payments in the 116 urban areas declined by 39.6 percent as compared with a 48.5-percent drop for the total United States. By the close of the decade the monthly outlay for public general relief in these urban areas was back to the $27-million level it had reached at the end of 1932, and general work relief was reduced to a position of relative unimportance. The varying importance of public general relief in the total relief pattern for these areas is indicated by the annual percentage distributions in table 2, which shows it to have ranged widely during the decade between a minimum of 23 percent and a maximum of 78 percent of the combined annual outlays for public and private aid. Special types of public assistance. — Unlike other forms of aid, the special types of public assist¬ ance — old-age assistance, aid to dependent chil¬ dren, and aid to the needy blind — have followed an almost unbroken upward trend since 1929.^® These forms of relief were relatively insensitive to the early impact of the unemployment crisis, and short-time emergency measures have played no direct part in their financing or administration. The depression undoubtedly hastened the spread of enabling legislation and led to a higher incidence of dependency among the special classes eligible for these forms of relief. But expansion in case loads and expenditures has been predicated on specific i» During 1933 and 1934 there was a temporally slump in old-age assistance and aid to dependent children presumably induced by a shortage of State and local funds and the consequent shifting of cases to FERA relief rolls. See Geddes, Anne E., Trends in Relief Expenditures, 1910-1935, op. cit., p. 37 and footnote 69. legislative provisions and hence has been more orderly and sustained than for other types of aid. It must be remembered that not all special types of assistance were extended in all the urban areas during the period under review. In 1929 aid to dependent children, or mothers’ aid as it was then more commonly called, was provided in all but 12 of the 116 urban areas, but aid to the blind was provided in only 60 areas and old-age assistance in only 2. When statutory provision for a special type of aid was lacking, or when funds were inade¬ quate to care for all eligible applicants, all or part | of the burden of caring for these special classes of dependents devolved on the general relief agen- j cies. The expenditure trend for the special types of public assistance is therefore a poor measure of the amount of aid distributed among these groups of needy persons during the early years of the decade. By January 1936, the month before the first Federal grants were made to States participating under the Social Security Act, the combined ex¬ penditures for the three types of special assistance were already 260 percent above the January 1929 level. During the next 3 years expansion in out¬ lays was far more rapid, resulting in an increase during the decade of more than 1,000 percent in these 116 urban areas. Most of this increase must be attributed to the spread of enabling legislation and the improvement in standards stimulated by the Federal matching-grant procedure of the Social * Security Act. The upward trend in outlays for the special types of public assistance was less pronounced in the 116 urban areas than in the Nation as a whole. In 1933 special assistance payments in the urban areas represented almost three-fifths of all such outlays in the United States; in 1938 they were less than two-fifths of the national total. Although changes in the emergency relief struc- - ture caused little fluctuation in the trend of special assistance payments, they caused marked fluctua-' tion in the relative importance of these forms of, relief in the total relief structure. In 1929, despite' the limited geographic coverage of old-age assist¬ ance and aid to the blind, special assistance pay¬ ments accounted for 41 percent of the total out¬ lays for public and private aid in the 116 urban areas. With the precipitous rise in emergency relief expenditures this percentage dropped to less than 5 percent in 1934. After the passage of the* 22 Chari 7. — Expenditures for special types of public assist- 1 Based on table C-1. Social Security Act the special types of public assistance regained part of their former relative importance and in 1938 accounted for 14 percent of total outlays for relief and work program earn¬ ings in these urban areas. An extraordinary growth in old-age assistance has been the dominant factor in the rise of the special assistance curve. During 1929 combined outlays for statutory old-age assistance in the 116 urban areas averaged less than $750 a month, as contrasted with nearly $1.5 million for aid to de¬ pendent children and $130,000 for aid to the blind. By the end of 1938 monthly outlays for old-age assistance were more than $12 million, for aid to dependent children about $4 million, and for aid to the blind $700,000. The separate ex¬ penditure curves for the three types of special assistance are shown in chart 7. Earnings under Federal work 'programs. — -The Federal work program is a development of the decade under review. It originated as an emer¬ gency measure to provide useful jobs instead of a dole to the millions of able-bodied workers temporarily deprived of means of self-support, and it has not yet acquired a permanent status in the structure of public aid.^ The gap between CWA and WPA (chart 3) emphasizes the experimental character of this new form of aid for the unem- *0 Except the CCC, which received direct appropriations from regular Federal funds from July 1936 until its liquidation beginning July 1942. ployed and the unsettled public policy behind it. The CWA program was intended as a recovery as well as an assistance measure. In an effort to “prime the pump,” employment and earnings on this program were brought to maximum points within 2 months after issuance of the executive order which created the Federal Civil Works Administration. At their peak in January 1934, earnings under the program totaled $85 million in the 116 urban areas and made up almost three- fourths of the montlily bill for public and private aid. Work program earnings declined rapidly in amount and relative importance during the next 6 months and, with the exception of CCC wages and earnings under “other Federal agency projects financed from emergency funds,” disappeared entirely for a 12-month period in 1934 and 1935. During this period work relief was revived and expanded through the development of the Emer¬ gency Work Relief Program of the FERA, under which many of the projects initiated under the CWA were continued. The Federal work program was restored to an important place in the relief structure in 1935 with the establishment of the WPA and the appropriation of funds for the operation of work projects by other Federal agencies. From the end of that year through 1938, monthly earnings on projects operated by the WPA exceeded the combined outlays for all other forms of aid in the 116 urban areas. Because of its purpose of com¬ plementing private employment, the WPA pro¬ gram has been the most responsive to the ups and downs of economic activity. After the initial organization period, earnings remained fairly stable at about the $70-million level until near the close of 1936. A slow decline began at that time and continued until the fall of 1937, when the economic recession caused a reversal in the down¬ ward movement. A new wave of unemployment distress carried montlily earnings well above former levels and 93 percent above the $45-mil- lion low of August 1937. The peak of $87 million was reached in October 1938, 2 months before the 10-year peak in total outlays for public and private aid. As a proportion of total annual outlays in these areas, work program earnings ranged from nothing in the first 4 years of the decade to more than two-thirds during 1936. Of the national outlays See p. 7. 23 for work program earnings, the 116 urban areas have received a varying share. Under the Civil Works Program these areas accounted for only two-fifths of such earnings in the United States; under WPA-project operations they accounted for one-half to three-fifths of the annual national totals. Underlying Shifts in the Relief Structure Some of the major alterations that have been made in the urban relief structure since 1929 are not apparent from charts showing the divergent trends of expenditures for the component pro¬ grams. Other break-downs of the data are needed to emphasize the underlying shifts in financial and administrative responsibility and the methods of extending aid to needy individuals. Shift in financial burdens. — The diminishing share of the bill for assistance and earnings paid from private funds has already been noted. Reaching 29 percent in 1932, the proportion of expenditures from private funds in these 116 ur¬ ban areas dropped to 1 percent or less during the last 3 years of the decade. In rural communities and smaller cities the proportion of private relief was probably even lower at the beginning as well as the end of the 10-year period. Public funds provided three-fourths of the aid extended in the combined urban areas in 1929 and more than 99 percent of the vastly greater amount extended in 1938. Of the total bill for the decade, public funds contributed all but 3.4 percent. No less significant than the shift from private to public funds has been the shift in financial re¬ sponsibility for public relief among local. State, and Federal Governments. Although the urban data do not afford an exact measure of this trans¬ fer, some conception thereof is conveyed by a comparison of the financial structure of public aid in the 116 urban areas at the beginning and at the end of the decade. The Federal Govern¬ ment provided no funds for public aid in 1929; it provided more than 60 percent of the public outlays in 1938 in the form of WPA earnings and another 5 or 6 percent in the form of matching grants for old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind. The relative shares of State and local funds are not easily approxi¬ mated because the division of responsibility for “ Wynne, Waller, Jr., Five Years of Rural Relief, Works Progress Admin¬ istration, 1938, pp. 25-28. various types of aid differs widely from one State to another. State support for general relief has been almost entirely a development of the decade under review, and State participation in the financ¬ ing of special types of public assistance has been rapidly extended under the requirements of the Social Security Act.^® Paralleling the transfer of fiscal responsibility from smaller to larger govern¬ mental units has been the shift of administrative and supervisory responsibility to State and Fed¬ eral levels.^^ Trend toward work. — ^The trend away from direct subsistence benefits and toward work projects can be viewed from two distinct angles: first, as a move to require work in return for aid; second, as a move to provide earnings instead of relief to needy employable persons. Work relief pay¬ ments under the general relief program must be regarded as a step from direct to work assistance, but they were extended in accordance with budgetary needs and hence can hardly be regarded as a step from relief toward earnings. The progressive emphasis on work program earnings has already been noted and is graphi¬ cally shown in chart 3. The extent of the shift over the 10-year period from direct assistance to work can be measured only for aid extended from public funds, since private relief outlays in the 116 urban areas are not separated into direct and work relief payments. It is known that an appreciable volume of private aid was dispensed in the form of work relief during the early years of the depression, but private work projects were sponsored primarily by emergency committees and were relatively short-lived. With the de¬ velopment of Federal work projects, private work relief has virtually disappeared. The alternating rise and fall of the direct assist¬ ance curve and the combined curve of work relief and work program earnings is shown in chart 8. Public aid extended in return for work was only 0.1 percent of total outlays in 1929. The pro¬ portion of such aid rose rapidly thereafter, as public work projects were formed to give emer¬ gency relief and employment to the many able- bodied workers applying for aid. Even before 23 For information on sources of funds for these types of^id, see “Sources of Funds Expended for the Special Types of Public Assistance and General Relief, 1938-39,” Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 3, No. 1 (January 1940), pp. 65-72. 2* See pp. 28-30. 2‘ See p. 19. 24 the first Federal work projects were begun under the FERA, work relief had risen to more than one-fourth of the monthly outlays for public aid. The attempt under the CWA to provide the unemployed with regular jobs at normal wages and hours meant that a much larger share of total outlays went to persons employed on work proj¬ ects. At the height of this program, earnings plus work relief outlays accounted for three-fourths of all public aid extended in the 116 urban areas. This proportion declined sharply when the CWA projects were abandoned in favor of an expanded work relief program under the FERA, but pay¬ ments in return for work formed more than one- third of public outlays for aid throughout 1934 and during most of 1935. Replacement of FERA work relief projects by a new work program offering security wages to the unemployed again boosted the proportion of outlays in return for work. During 1936 more than two-thirds of the total public outlays for aid in the 116 areas were for WPA earnings and work relief. The expansion in payments for the special types of public assistance during 1937 and 1938 contrib¬ uted slightly to a reduction in the proportion of public aid paid to recipients in return for work, but this reduction did not signify a reversal in the trend toward work as a means of extending aid to needy employable persons. Special assistance payments are intended solely for imemployable groups, and their inclusion in the data obscures the full extent of the shift away from direct assist¬ ance as a method of caring for the needy unem¬ ployed. The percentage distribution of the 10-year out¬ lays for public and private aid in these 116 urban Chart 8. — Public expenditures for direct assistance and for work program earnings and work relief, 116 urban areas, January 1929— December 1938 * MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 J Based on table C-1. tKepresents public general direct relief and special types of public assistance. TtRepresents OWA, WPA, and public general work relief. 25 areas (chart 4) shows earnings on work programs and work relief to have constituted slightly more than half of the $6, 853-million total. Work pro¬ gram earnings alone made up almost 42 percent of the total. Expansion in Per Capita Burdens Changes in the relief burden over the 10-year period can perhaps be comprehended better if the aggregate outlays for these 116 urban areas are expressed in terms of the amounts spent per in¬ habitant. The per capita expenditures mentioned in the following discussion relate to intercensus years and therefore are based on population figures estimated from the censuses of 1920, 1930, and 1940. During 1929 the per inhabitant cost of public and private aid in the 116 urban areas combined was $1.06. In 1938, the last year of the decade, it was 28 times as much, or $29.69. If the value of certain other types of aid omitted from the urban series could be added to the 1938 data, the rise in the per capita cost would be somewhat greater. These per capita figures, of course, give no clue to the actual distribution of the burden of provid¬ ing aid within these areas. Relief funds come from Federal and State as well as local sources, and resi¬ dents of these urban areas may have borne either more or less of a per capita burden for the relief of destitution and need. Per capita costs for the individual areas varied widely,^® but for the combined areas they were consistently higher than for the total United States. The differential may be explained, at least in part, by a higher incidence of unemploy¬ ment and need in large urban communities. Other contributing factors are higher costs and levels of living, more liberal relief standards, and better organization for relief operations in large urban areas. Limiting the comparison, of neces¬ sity, to the types of aid and span of years covered by chart 2, we find for 1933 a per capita annual outlay in the total United States of $8.33, as compared with $10.86 in the 116 urban areas.^^ Corresponding figures for 1938 W’ere $20.86 and “ See pp. 33-37. w In this connection it should be pointed out that various agricultural subsidies not considered relief are available to residents of rural areas and that certain relief programs omitted from the data extend aid only in rural areas. $29.46. Not only are the amounts per inhabitant larger for the urban areas, both at the beginning and end of the 6-year period, but the advance was relatively more than for the total United States. For a fair appraisal of the growing relief burden it w^ould be desirable to view relief costs over the decade in relation to the incomes available for paying them. It is neither feasible nor logical to attempt this direct^ for residents of the 116 urban areas,^® but some conception of the Nation's ability to support the larger national relief burden can be gained from the Department of Commerce series on estimated national mcome payments, which includes payments for relief and work program earnings.^ The data on total income payments in the United States during the 10-year period under review are plotted in chart 1. Relief and work program earnings have, of course, formed a larger share of national income payments during recent years than at the begin¬ ning of the decade, but at no time have they ex¬ ceeded 5 percent of the annual total. On a per inhabitant basis, the relief payment in 1929 was $0.59 as compared with an income payment of $672. In 1933, at the depth of the depression, the relief payment was $9.56 and the total income payment $372. By the close of the decade relief payments per inhabitant had risen sharply to $24.28, but national income had also risen, to $510, so that the relief payment formed only a slightly larger share of the total income payment for 1938. Even in that year of peak expenditures for public and private aid, it averaged less than 5 percent of estimated monthly income payments. s* Since local relief costs are not borne directly by local residents, such a comparison would have little meaning. w Estimates of U. 8. Department of Commerce, Survey of Current Business, Vol. 19, No. 10 (October 1939), pp. 15-16, table 41. Per capita payments have been calculated from these data on the basis of population figures for the continental United States estimated from the U. 8. censuses of 1920,1930, and 1940. In the national series on income payments, relief payments include, in addition to payments for which data are available for the 116 urban areas, the following: subsistence payments to farmers by the FERA, Resettlement Administration, and Farm Security Administration; earnings of enrolled persons in the CCC; nonrelief earnings on administrative and work relief projects of the FERA; earnings under the emergency education and student aid programs of the FERA and under the out-of-school and student work programs of the National Youth Administration; earnings on work projects operated under the Federal works program by Federal agencies other than the WPA, CCC, and NYA; and earnings on Federal agency projects financed by transfer of WPA funds. Payments for private relief are not included in the series on income payments. It should be noted that direct relief, work relief, and work program earnings are all included as components of national income payments because they swell the purchasing power in the hands of consumers; since direct relief is regarded as a transfer item of income, it is excluded from the Department of Commerce annual estimates of national income produced. 26 . IV . ( Diversity in Local Trends and Patterns of Aid The discussion has so far been focused on the combined movement of relief costs in the 116 urban areas. From the analysis of the combined expenditure data there has emerged a composite pattern of public and private aid in urban areas over the decade. Merged in this over-all pattern are very diverse patterns for the 116 local areas. These communities have experienced common problems of depression and mounting relief costs since 1929, but they have experienced them in varying degrees of intensity. They have utilized substantially the same programs and types of aid in relieving distress and need, but they have combined them in different proportions. In the actual distribution of aid to needy families and individuals they have functioned as 116 distinct units, operating under a wide variety of legisla¬ tive, financial, and administrative provisions. Lack of uniformity is such a dominant character¬ istic of the urban relief experience that some com¬ parative analysis of local expenditure patterns is essential for an accurate portrayal of recent trends in public and private aid. For a fair evaluation of developments during the decade, the dissimi¬ larities are quite as significant as the similarities. Regardless of the fact that State and Federal Governments have assumed more administrative and supervisory powers along with more fiscal responsibility for public aid, the city or county is still the operating unit in the distribution of most types of aid. Needy families and individuals must seek help within their home community; the kind and amount of help they receive will depend on conditions in the particular locality in which they happen to live, e. g., the combina¬ tion of programs and types of aid provided, the financial resources available, and the procedures and standards maintained by the local agencies. The basic data for comparing relief patterns and trends in the separate urban areas are pre¬ sented in appendix C. The data on aggregate annual outlays for the various types of aid appear¬ ing m tables C-2 — C-11 show the changes in absolute expenditures that have occurred during the decade, but they do not reflect clearly the relief patterns of the individual areas. Nor do they lend themselves to comparisons of relief burdens and relief trends, because the areas differ so greatly not only in total population but also in the rate of population change over the decade. Interarea differences in the composition of the relief structure and in the relative emphasis placed on various programs and types of aid can best be measured by the percentage distributions of the annual expenditures within each area, shown in tables C-12 — C-21. These percentage data parallel those given for the combined areas in table 2. The most satisfactory basis for quan¬ titative comparisons of relief burdens and relief trends appears to be the amounts spent per inhabit¬ ant within the separate areas. The per inhabit¬ ant data in tables C-22 — C-31 can be used to compare outlays under different programs as well as in different localities.^ Graphic evidence of the diversity in urban relief patterns is afforded by the series of diagrams for individual areas presented in appendix B. Since the series is designed to bring out differences in the trends and composition of expenditures over the 10-year period rather than differences in aggre¬ gate outlays, the 116 diagrams have been standard¬ ized for mass ; that is, the vertical scales have been chosen in such a way that the shaded area under the total expenditure curve will be the same in every diagram. This objective was accomplished by using a standard height on the vertical scale to represent the 10-year average monthly expendi¬ ture for each urban area. The appropriate dollar scale has been placed on each diagram and the position of the 10-year monthly average marked by an arrow. Thus the monthly expenditure trends for each urban area are recorded in absolute values, but interarea differences in magnitude are subordinated in order to facilitate comparisons of the urban patterns with respect to such factors as the timing and composition of expenditures. Even a cursory examination of the patterns dis¬ closes wide divergence in trends and conspicuous > For some discussion of the limitations of the per inhabitant data, see pp. 34 and 36. 452436” — 42- 3 27 variation in the emphasis placed on component programs and types of aid at any given time and over the whole decade. It should be recognized, however, that the diagrams offer no information on the comparative relief burdens per inhabitant or the comparative adequacy of payments to needy residents. Factors Contributing to Diversity Before examining the statistical evidence of dissimilarity in the 116 urban patterns, some attention should be given to the underlying factors that have contributed to local diversity in the composition and trend of expenditures over the 10-year period. Those factors are multiple and complex. Among them — but hardly the most influential — are basic differences in the incidence of need in the individual communities, and in the prevalence of particular types of dependency. It is extremely difficult to measure these basic differences, but they indubitably exist and help to shape the course of expenditures in individual areas. Interarea differences in the costs and levels of living also exist but are of minor import compared with less tangible factors such as the prevailing social and political attitudes toward the treatment of dependency. Accepted local procedures and standards of assistance are major determinants of relief trends. The most obvious source of diversity in local relief patterns, hqwever, is the availability of funds for financing public and private aid. It means far more than differences in the per capita wealth and income of the political units concerned. It means also the varying extent to which local and State governments are able and willing to tap their financial resources for relief purposes, and — equally variable and uncertain — the fiscal relationships prevailing among the local, State, and Federal Governments. The major shifts in the incidence of relief costs from local to State and Federal Governments during the decade 1929-38 gave rise, of course, to the extremely difficult problem of distributing State and Federal funds among local areas in proportion to their relief needs and their abilities to meet these needs. With the States themselves varying markedly in relief needs and financial resources and in the absence of central control of their relief policies, it was to be expected that the States would differ greatly in the extent to which they sought and achieved a solution to this problem. But even in the realm of Federal financing the policies adopted have not always contributed effectively to its solution. RFC advances were negotiated on a loan basis, and the bulk of such advances were subsequently canceled. Under the FERA program a combined system of matching and variable grants was used, with the avowed intent of supporting minimum standards in all areas but with no established criteria for ascertaining how much Federal help was essential to enable the States and local areas to achieve this end.^ Under the Social Security Act matching grants for each of the special types of public assistance have been on a uniform basis for aU States having approved plans, with the result that poorer States have been handicapped in maintaining adequate levels of payments. Federal participation in the financing of each of the special types of assistance is limited not only by predetermined Federal matching ratios but also by eligibility restrictions and maximum payments to individual recipients prescribed by the States.^ No minimum levels of payments are prescribed under the act, and the disparity among States in the amounts paid to recipients is striking. Even under the federally operated work pro¬ grams it has been very difficult to ensure the allo¬ cation of Federal outlays among local areas in proportion to their needs for emergency public employment. Mandatory requirements laid down in successive appropriation acts concerning spon¬ sors’ contributions to WPA-project costs have undoubtedly influenced the geographic distribu¬ tion of WPA employment. Beyond these factors there remains a wide area of administrative discre¬ tion at the local and State, as well as the Federal, level. Moreover, local and State initiative in formulating and sponsoring suitable projects and policies of providing or withholding alternative forms of aid for able-bodied workers not assigned to WPA projects are all subject to a high degree of variance. Efforts of the Federal agency to relate quotas to need within legislative restrictions are com¬ plicated by such differences in local and State * For discussion of allocation of Federal funds under the FERA, see Williams, Edward A., Federal Aid for Relief, 1939, pp. 180 fl. * See “Sources of Funds Expended for the Special Types of Public Assist ance and General Relief in 1938-1939,” Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 3, No. 1 (January 1940), pp. 65-72. 28 practice, as well as by the ordinary difficulties of approving, developing, and maintaining work projects that will provide the desired level of em¬ ployment and wage payments in each area. The Federal work programs have minimized geographic differences in the level of payments to recipients assigned to work projects, but they have only partially succeeded in achieving equal op¬ portunity for assignments in the different local¬ ities. In addition, the security wage scale of the WPA program has introduced a further differen¬ tiation in the level of payments provided for needy families and individuals within each area, accentu¬ ating the inequity of treatment of those eligible for but not receiving the more liberal form of aid. The marked disparity in the levels of care pro¬ vided under the several programs and the differ¬ entiation among needy groups that is furthered by the varied eligibility requirements of Federal and Federal-State programs afford many occasions for alternative choices in the disposition of local and State funds and thus contribute to the dis¬ similarity in urban relief patterns. A choice may have to be made, for example, between using local funds to sponsor a work project for needy em¬ ployable workers or to provide more adequate care for destitute unemployable persons under the general relief program. During the decade under review, the difficulties confronting local communities in planning their fiscal requirements for the treatment of depend¬ ency were multiplied not only by the great ex¬ pansion in relief needs but also by the large-scale Federal and State participation which this ex¬ pansion necessitated. The impact of Federal and State participation has so modified the re¬ lief structure that, to a considerable extent, the burden which rests upon the community is re¬ sidual and is determined by the provisions of Federal and Federal-State programs. At the beginning of the decade, local communi¬ ties were largely autonomous both in the financ¬ ing and administration of relief. Faced with a relatively small and stable relief problem, they were able to plan and control, to a much larger extent than in later years, the amounts, types, and relative proportions of aid to be extended under different programs. Although in some areas there was State participation in, and ad¬ ministrative supervision of, certain types of relief — notably aid for veterans and for special groups of needy unemployable persons — the specific legislative basis of such aid generally offered some assurance of continuity and a guide for future planning within the local community. With the. development of emergency relief opera¬ tions, financed in part by State and Federal ap¬ propriations, integrated planning at the local level became utterly impracticable. The States likewise were confronted with an unknown vari¬ able in the form of Federal grants for unemploy¬ ment relief under the FERA and, for a brief inter¬ lude, Federal wage payments under the broad- scale eWA program. The attempted redefinition of the fiscal respon¬ sibility to be assumed by the Federal Government after the close of 1935 has not eliminated the un¬ certainties of Federal participation. With each session of Congress and with each new WPA ap¬ propriation the question is reopened, and modi¬ fications may be made in the eligibility require¬ ments, conditions of employment, sponsors’ con¬ tributions, and types of projects permissible under the law. Local quotas of WPA employment and outlays are generally expanded or contracted in accordance with current Federal appropriations. The bases of Federal financial contributions to State public assistance programs are more explicit, but the Social Security Act has altered significantly the scope of State and local control over these types of aid. Although some funds are still con¬ tributed by local communities, approved programs are operated under State supervision or direction in accordance with Federal requirements concern¬ ing eligibility and standards of administration. Adoption of proposed changes in these require¬ ments or in the authorized grant-in-aid pro¬ cedure to allow for variable Federal gi-ants would have significant repercussions on State and local programs. i It is apparent that through Federal work pro¬ grams and the public assistance programs the Federal and State Governments now exercise a dominant influence on the relief structures of aU local communities and bear a major share of the combined financial burden. No statistical data are available to show the relative reliance of the 116 urban areas on Federal, State, and local funds, but the prevailing trend is clearly toward a dimin¬ ishing share of local participation in financial, as in administrative and supervisory, control. It should also be apparent from the diversity 29 in local patterns of aid that Federal participation has complicated, as well as strengthened, the relief structure, and that the basis for effective coordina¬ tion among the three levels of public responsibility has not yet been laid. New national. State, and local agencies have been superimposed on tradi¬ tional State and local set-ups, with resultant com¬ plexity in the relief mechanism of each community and a continuing lack of uniformity among com¬ munities that does not stem from differences in local needs or in resources for meeting those needs. The difficulties inlierent in coordinating the objec¬ tives and operations of a variety of relief programs administered by a variety of agencies on the national. State, and local levels have been alle¬ viated to some degree by the progressive tendency toward the establishment of unified welfare depart¬ ments in both State and local governments. There remains, however, a complexity in relief adminis¬ tration that contributes to inequities and to illogical variations in local trends and patterns of expenditures. Comparative Trends in Total Outlays The most vivid impression conveyed by the series of diagrams in appendix B is the dis¬ similarity in the trends in total outlays over the 10-year period. The contours of the com¬ posite expenditure patterns present startling con¬ trasts in the sharpness of the rise from 1929 levels and in the frequency, abruptness, amplitude, and timing of fluctuations. No slow-motion statistical comparisons can enhance the impression of variety in urban relief trends, but they can underline salient points of difference and indicate the range of variation recorded by the diagrams and by the tabular data in appendix C. All the 116 urban trends turn upward, of course, from 1929 levels, but they reach their peaks for the decade at three widely separated periods. Fifty-four areas, including many of the larger cities and only three of the southern cities,'* * show the maximum monthly outlays in 1938, the same year that the combined urban outlays reached their peak for the decade. Almost as many areas, 52 in all, register a lO-year peak in outlays at least 4 years earlier, during the height of the CWA. This group includes most of the southern areas. In general the trends for these 52 areas show second¬ ary peaks in outlays during 1938, but there are * Asheville, N. C.; Louisville, Ky.; and New Orleans, La. conspicuous exceptions to this rule. In Balti¬ more, Md., for example, the monthly expenditure peak is lower m 1938 than in several preceding years.® In 10 urban areas, among them New York City, a maximum volume of aid was extended near the end of 1935 or the beginning of 1936.® No attempt has been made to compare the urban trends with respect to the relative increase from 1929 to monthly peaks, since of themselves these high points tell little concerning the sus¬ tained rise in expenditures over the 10-year period. Such a comparison would be particularly inappro¬ priate for the CWA for which peaks represented concentrated outlays of Federal funds over a brief period. A more useful index of the varying growth of relief burdens is the percentage change in annual outlays from 1929 to 1938. Increases in annual expenditures over the 10- year period ranged all the way from 776 percent in Cambridge, Mass., to 19,423 percent in Mobile, Ala. Both these extremes are in sharp contrast with the thirtyfold increase in the combined ex¬ penditures for the 116 areas. In 24 localities the expansion in annual outlays was less than twenty¬ fold, while in 27 localities it was more than fifty¬ fold. In interpreting comparative rates of in¬ crease over the decade it is essential to remember the disparity in 1929 base figures. A marked per¬ centage increase may mean relatively meager out¬ lays and light burdens m 1929 rather than generous outlays and heavy burdens in 1938. The expansion in outlays proceeded very un¬ evenly in the different localities. A few com¬ munities experienced their most pronounced rise in expenditures during the early stages of the depression, prior to Federal participation.^ Others made their major advances much later, with the help of Federal funds. In 15 of the areas the percentage rise in annual outlays from 1929 to 1932 was equal to one- third or more of the relative increase for the entire decade; in 39 areas it was less than one-tenth of the total rise for the decade. Percentage increases in annual outlays during these 4 years ranged widely, from 60 percent in Allentown, Pa., to 1,801 percent in New Rochelle, » other outstanding exceptions are Niagara Falls, N. Y., and Norfolk and Roanoke, Va. • In addition to New York City, this group comprises the following nine areas; Allentown, Chester, and Erie, Pa.; Buffalo and Rochester, New York; Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif.; St. Paul, Minn.; and Springfield, Mass. ’ In Niagara Falls, N. Y., the percentage increase from 1929 to 1932 was more than 82 percent of the increase for the decade; in Allentown, Pa., and Charleston, S. C., it was less than 1 percent. 30 N. Y. Over this same 4-year period the combined expenditures for the 116 areas rose 576 percent above 1929 levels. For more than half of the 116 localities the rise in annual outlays prior to Federal participation was between 250 and 750 percent. Further evidence of variation in the timing of outlays is found in the degree of concentration of expenditm-es during the last 3 years of the decade. It may be recalled that 55 percent of the com¬ bined urban relief bill for the decade was incurred during 1936, 1937, and 1938. Among the indi¬ vidual areas this proportion ranged from less than one-third to more than two-thirds of the aggregate outlays for the 10-year period.® Comparative Emphasis on Different Programs and Types of Aid Most of the expenditure patterns for individual urban areas include at least some outlays for every program and type of aid covered by the urban data,® but they differ tremendously in the emphasis accorded various components of the re¬ lief structure. Even within each locality the em¬ phasis changes from year to year. The wide vari¬ ation in the division of outlays among the specific types of aid is revealed in some measure by the urban area diagrams (appendix B) and in detail by the percentage distributions of annual expend¬ itures (tables C-12 — C-21). The range of vari¬ ation among the urban areas is indicated in table « The smallest proportion, 33 percent, was spent in Shreveport, La.; the largest proportion, 71 percent, in Terre Haute, Ind. • For number of areas reporting some expenditures for specified types of aid in various years, see table 7, p. 37. 3, which records for each year the highest and lowest percentages of total outlays expended for each type of aid. These various measures permit a comparison of distributions of expenditures among specific types of aid in the separate urban areas and reveal the wide divergence of such dis¬ tributions from those for all areas (table 2). The 116 areas differed materially even in their degree of reliance on public funds. The proportion of private relief was relatively low, of course, in every area, but it ranged from 0.2 percent of the 10-year aggregate in Malden, Mass., and Pontiac, Mich., to 14.2 percent in Wilmington, Del. Twenty-one of the urban areas relied on public funds for at least 99 percent of total outlaj/s. For the combined areas the proportion of public funds was 96.6 percent. At the beginning of the decade, private contri¬ butions reported for the various areas ranged from 0.7 percent of annual outlays in Fall River, Mass., to 100 percent of those in Birmingham and Mobile, Ala. The percentage for the combined areas in 1929 was 24.2 percent. _ Demands of the depression caused rapid read¬ justments in the proportions of public and private aid in most areas. By 1931 both Birmingham and Mobile were extending some aid from public funds. Private relief gained temporarily in relative im¬ portance and in some areas completely dominated the relief picture during the first years of the depression. This dominance is notably true of Wilmington, Del., and Kansas City, Mo.

In many commimities in the South, where there have been less substantial outlays for public gen¬ eral relief from State and local funds, private relief has continued to form a sizable share of the relief burden throughout the decade. Private relief has disappeared entirely from the relief structures of very few of the 116 urban areas, but it has been much reduced in importance in 'every area. During 1938 the maximum per¬ centage of private relief, 5.2 percent of annual outlays, was dispensed in Hartford, Conn. The percentage for all areas was only 0.8 percent in 1938. Although general relief was the dominant type of aid in the combined urban expenditure pattern for the decade, it accounted for the largest share of outlays in less than half of the individual com¬ munities. In 58 of the areas it was exceeded in importance by WPA earnings and in one area by special assistance payments. General relief was relatively most important in Buffalo, N. Y., where it represented more than three-fifths of the aggre¬ gate expenditures for public and private aid, and least important in TeiTe Haute, Ind., where it represented only one-fifth of total outlays. In 21 areas less than one- third of the 10-year outlays was dispensed in the form of general relief. Despite the basic role of this type of aid in the public relief structure, it was granted in every area during only 5 of the 10 years under review. These 5 years, 1932 through 1936, embrace the period of Federal participation in the financing of general relief. At the beginning of the decade, public general relief was missing from the relief structures of nine areas.'® With the exception of Kansas City, Mo., these areas were all in the South. San Antonio, Tex., reported no outlays for general relief during either 1937 or 1938. The Federal work programs have operated in every urban area over substantially the same spans of time, but they have formed widely dissimilar See, for example, Chicago, Ill.; Hartford, Conn.; New York, N. Y.; and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pa. >> See, for example, Charlotte and Winston-Salem, N. C.; Louisville, Ky.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Richmond, Va. » See table 7, p. 37. >* Asheville, N. C.; Birmingham and Mobile, -41a.: Kansas City, Mo.; Knoxville and Memphis, Tenn.; Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans, La.; and Wilmington, Del. shares of aggregate outlays in the 116 urban areas. Wages extended under the CWA ranged in relative importance from only 1.3 percent of the decade’s expenditures in Philadelphia, Pa., to almost one- fourth of those in Shreveport, La.^^ For the com¬ bined areas the proportion was 4.4 percent. WPA wage payments, which accounted for 37 percent of the 10-year outlays in the combined urban areas, formed less than one-fourth of the aggregate in 6 areas and more than one-half in 16 areas. Such payments accounted for only 13 percent of the total aid extended in New Rochelle, N. Y., over this 10-year period, as contrasted with 63 percent in Terre Haute, Ind. It should be noted again that the limitation of the data on WPA earnings to projects operated within the area affects the data for the several areas in vary¬ ing degrees. In some cities many residents may have been employed on projects operated outside the limits of the reporting area; in others the reverse may have been true. The special types of public assistance account for widely varying proportions of the 10-year outlays, partly because of the delayed enactment of enabling legislation in many States and partly because of differences in the coverage of programs and in standards of assistance payments. At the beginning of the decade, 11 urban areas in the southern region had none of the three forms of special assistance. Twelve areas distributed no statutory aid to dependent children, 56 areas no aid to the blind, and 114 areas no old-age assist¬ ance. By 1938 all 116 areas extended assistance to the aged under State plans approved by the Social Security Board. All but 4 areas extended aid to dependent children, although 10 of the areas administering this type of aid were in States not yet participating in Federal grants under the Social Security Act.^® Only 8 areas extended no aid to the needy blind in 1938 4 of the areas granting this type of assistance were in States in which the program was operated without Federal partici¬ pation.'® X The calculated percentage figure for New Rochelle, N. Y., is slightly higher than that for Shreveport, but it is probably inflated to a large extent because the CWA expenditure data relate to the county exclusive of the city of Yonkers instead of the city of New Rochelle. ■» El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, Tex. >« Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, and New Haven, Conn.; Chicago and Springfield, HI.; Dallas, Tex.; Des Moines and Sioux City, Iowa; and Louisvilie, Ky. ” Dallas, El Paso, Fort W'orth, Houston, and San Antonio, Tex.; Louis¬ ville, Ky.; Providence, R. I.; and Wilmington, Del. 19 Chicago and Springfield, Ill.; and Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo, 32 The share of 10-year outlays devoted to special assistance payments ranged from 0.3 percent in Norfolk and in Roanoke, Va., to 33 percent in Sacramento, Calif. In 10 areas less than 5 percent of all aid was extended through the three types of special assistance, as compared with the 10-percent share spent in the combined areas for these types of aid. Old-age assistance ranged in relative importance from less than 0.02 percent of the 10-year outlays in Norfolk, Va,, to almost 23 percent of those in Denver, Colo,; aid to dependent children from zero in three Texas areas to 10.5 percent in Sagi¬ naw, Mich.; and aid to the blind from zero in seven areas ^ to 4.1 percent in Springfield, Ill. These interarea differences in emphasis are not entirely attributable to differences in coverage or span of operation. A comparison of relative out¬ lays for old-age assistance in 1938, when all 116 areas extended such aid, shows proportions rang¬ ing from 0.2 to 39,6 percent of annual outlays. Combined payments for old-age assistance in these areas in 1938 constituted 9,9 percent of the aggregate outlays for all types of aid. Interarea comparisons of the trend away from relief and toward work program earnings also reveal marked differences, with the southern areas showing distinctly high ratios of earnings to total outlays and New England areas distinctly low ratios. This situation reflects the relatively greater dependence of the southern localities on Federal programs and hence cannot be interpreted as evidence of a fundamental difference in policy or attitude toward work projects as a means of extending aid to the able-bodied unemployed. The comparative shares of aid extended as work program earnings varied among the 116 urban areas from 25 percent to 69 percent of the 10-year outlays. The minimum percentage applies to Worcester, Mass., and the maximum to Terre Haute, Ind. With work relief wages added to work program earnings, the range of interarea variation is even greater. In Charleston, S, C., 87 percent of all aid extended during the decade was in the form of work relief or work program wages. In Phila¬ delphia, Pa., only 28 percent of the total volume of aid was extended to recipients in return for work. 1* El Paso, Fort Worth, and San Antonio. Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, Tex.; Provi¬ dence, R. I.; and Wilmington, Del. Wage payments, of course, assumed greater prominence in annual outlays during the latter years of the decade than in the 10-year aggregate expenditures. In 1938 WPA earnings alone com¬ posed 63 percent of coihbined outlays in these 116 areas.^^ They represented 92 percent of the annual expenditure in Norfolk, Va., and, at the other extreme, only 23 percent in New Rochelle, N. Y. Comparative Relief Burdens As suggested earlier, the comparative rise in costs over 1929 levels gives no clue to the com¬ parative relief burdens for the 116 urban areas. One must turn to per capita data for a common denominator of relief costs over the 10-year period. Comparative annual rates per inhabitant for all public and private aid and for each component type of aid are given in tables C-22 — C-31. With the exception of those for 1930, the per in¬ habitant rates are based on estimated population data. The 1929 population figures for the sep¬ arate areas were estimated from the censuses of 1920 and 1930; population data for 1931-38 were estimated on the basis of the censuses of 1930 and 1940. By considering first the relief bills for the entire decade, we can eliminate differences in timing of outlays and obtain an over-all comparison of relief burdens in the 116 urban areas. The lowest per inhabitant cost for the decade was $21; the highest, $253. These extreme rates applied to Shreveport, La., and Boston, Mass. Between these extremes are 14 areas with per capita out¬ lays for the decade of less than $50; 23 with per capita outlays ranging from $50 to $99; 49 with outlays from $100 to $149; 26 from $150 to $199; and 2 from $200 to $250. As might be expected, the southern areas are clustered near the bottom of the array and most of the New England areas near the top. Table 4 summarizes the trend in per capita out¬ lays from 1929 through 1938. Except for the year 1937, median annual costs per inliabitant moved steadily upward. In 1929 the rates varied from $0.07 in Mobile, Ala., to $4.19 in Boston, Mass., with a median rate for the 116 areas of $0.87. For half of the areas the per capita rates were between $0.47 and $1.30. A graphic com¬ parison of these 1929 outlays per inhabitant with “ Separate data for work relief are not available for 1938. 33 those of 1938 is given in chart 9. The 116 urban areas are here arrayed in order of their relative per capita payments during the last year of the decade. Toledo, Ohio, is at the top, with per capita outlays of $53.15. This amount is nearly 13 times the maximum rate recorded in 1929. Shreveport, La., had the lowest rate of $2,76, or about 39 times the minimum at the beginning of the decade. The median rate of $26.03 was nearly 30 times the median for 1929.

S. census of that year; for other years, based on total population of areas estimated for particular year from U. S. censuses of 1920, 1930, and 1940. During the first year of the decade not one of the 116 urban areas had a per capita relief ex¬ penditure as high as $5.00, and in 29 areas the per capita rate was below $0.50. By 1934 not one of the areas had a per capita expenditure as low as $5.00, and in 11 areas the annual rate was above $25.00. By the end of the decade the number of areas with expenditure rates above $25.00 had risen to 63, and in only Shreveport, La., was the outlay per person for public and private aid below $5.00. Characteristic regional differences in the level of relief outlays are revealed in table 5, showing the median outlays per inhabitant for areas within each of five geographic regions. Prior to the period of Federal participation in relief financing and administration, the median outlay per inhabi¬ tant for New England areas was more than IJ^ times that of any other geographic division and more than 7 times the median rate for areas in the South Atlantic and South Central States. The differentials between New England and the Middle Atlantic, North Central, and Mountain and Pacific regions were not great in 1933 and thereafter, but there remained a broad gap between the level of per inhabitant outlays in the South and in other geographic divisions. The annual outlays per inhabitant in the indi¬ vidual areas should not be regarded as measuring either the relative extent of need or the relative level of aid provided in these 116 localities. Both these factors help to explain the wide disparity in per capita outlays, but the rates are also affected by other factors such as relative costs of living and the varying extent to which the communities have benefited from other kinds of aid omitted from the urban series. The rates per inhabitant are, of course, considerably affected by differences in the character of the urban areas themselves. Some of the areas, including many of those in New England and the Middle Atlantic States, are densely populated and constitute only the core of a large metropolitan area, whereas some of the other areas, for example Los Angeles County, embrace not only a metropolitan area but some iniral temtory as well. Comparative Outlays for Component Types of Aid Interarea differences in total per capita outlays must inevitably reappear as differences in per capita outlays for one or more of the component types of aid. The significant fact disclosed by table 6 is that the differences are not concentrated in one or two segments of the relief structure. Annual per capita outlays for every type of aid, including the federally financed and operated work programs, differ widely in the 116 urban areas.

Varia¬ tions in per capita outlays for the component types of aid are too dependent on the proportionate dis¬ tribution of expenditures among the several forms of aid to be very useful for measuring changes in standards or burdens from one year to another. Interarea differences in per capita outlays for specific programs are likewise much affected by the relative emphasis placed on each segment of the relief structure. Thus the wide dispersion in per capita outlays for general relief is attributable, in part at least, to the wide disparity in standards of assistance provided. But it reflects also the varying extent to which other forms of public assistance have been developed and used to care for needy employable persons and the three special classes of unemployable dependents. A relatively low per capita outlay for general relief may mean that an area is not providing adequately for needy applicants, or it may mean that rela¬ tively high proportions of needy eligibles are being cared for under alternative programs affording more adequate aid. Avoiding the hazards of superficial interpretation of the per capita rates for individual communities,^^ attention is focused here, as elsewhere in the report, on the extent of variation existing among the 116 urban areas. The range in amounts per inhabitant expended “ Similar hazards exist in interpreting the comparative per capita costs for the several types of aid extended within any one community or the differ¬ ences among communities in the relative per capita costs of the several types of aid. for specific types of aid are given in table 6 for each year from 1929 through 1938. The number of areas reporting some expenditures for given types of aid and the median per capita outlays for those areas are shown in table 7 . At the beginning of the decade, per capita out¬ lays for all public aid ranged from zero to $3.68 and for private aid from $0.01 to $1.23. General relief outlays per inhabitant ranged from zero to $3.03, and outlays for the special types of public assistance from zero to $1.05. Median outlays per capita for those areas extending the specified types of aid in 1929 were $0.66 for all public aid; $0.16 for private aid; $0.29 for general relief; and $0.31 for the three special types of public as¬ sistance. In 1938, per inhabitant outlays for all public aid ranged from $2.73 to $53.13. General relief outlays, dispensed entirely from State and local resources, varied from zero in San Antonio, Tex., to $15.06 in Philadelphia, Pa. The median outlay for areas extending this type of aid was $4.03. Special assistance payments, dispensed in most areas through joint Federal-State programs, ranged from $0.04 in Norfolk, Va., where these assistance programs were in an early stage of development, to $12.54 in Denver, Colo. The median per capita outlay in 1938 was $3.59. Earnings on Federal work projects operated by the WPA ranged from $0.72 per inhabitant in Shreveport, La., to $42.25 per inhabitant in Toledo, Ohio; the median per capita outlay for WPA earnings in these 116 urban areas was $16.15.

Developments of the decade ended with that year make it clear that large-scale measures for the care and pre¬ vention of dependency wdl be necessary for many yeare to come. An increasing awareness of the long-time factors influencing the spread of de¬ pendency and personal insecurity had already dictated the initial moves toward an integrated long-range program of social security measures to augment and gradually replace the emergency relief measm-es of the decade reviewed here. Intensification of such long-time social and economic trends as progressive urbanization, greater dependence on industrial employment, decreased family solidarity, a declining birth rate, and an upward shift in the age distribution of the population would ultimately have forced drastic revisions of the obsolete relief structure in this country as it has in others, but the evolu¬ tionary process has been hastened by the unem¬ ployment crisis of the early 1930’s. Changes in public attitudes toward dependency and in the traditional mechanisms and procedures for ex¬ tending aid were long overdue; the depression hastened their arrival and their application, on a broad national scale. The decade under review has seen considerable experimentation with, and public acceptance of, more progressive methods for treating need on a mass scale. The prevention and alleviation of dependency has become an accepted responsibility of the Federal as well as the State and local governments. The time has now arrived for evaluation of the experience gained and the shaping of a continuing program that will retain the desirable features of emergency measures and eliminate their undesirable aspects. The present decade should bring a consolidation and refine¬ ment of past advances, based on a critical ap¬ praisal of objectives as well as the ways and means best adapted to promote the objective set. Such a critical survey is beyond the scope of the present report. A broad appraisal of past experience, present needs, and future goals is now in preparation under the auspices of the National Resources Planning Board. No attempt has been made here to evaluate the influences affecting pat¬ terns of urban aid over the decade or to suggest any ideal pattern as to combination of programs, relative emphasis on different types of aid, or the standards of adequacy to be maintained. It would be futile, in the face of dynamic economic and social readjustments, to attempt any pro¬ jection of the expenditure trends for public and private aid in these 116 urban areas. The public welfare and security structure is stdl in a develop¬ mental, transitional stage, and the ultimate methods of providing aid and future security are not yet fully ciystallized either in legislation or in public opinion. The transition from temporary to permanent measures was still far from complete at the close of the decade under review, although nearly 10 years had elapsed since the beginning of the unemployment crisis. Even in 1938 the major share of aid in the 116 urban areas was extended thi’ough WPA projects directed by a temporary Federal agency and financed by emer¬ gency appropriations. While the net effects of future change on urban expenditure trends can scarcely be pre¬ dicted, there are certain factors already apparent that must be reckoned with in the future. These factors involve both substantive and procedural changes; in general, they suggest the possibility that expenditure trends in the individual areas may foUow quite diverse courses as efforts are made to attain more uniformity in patterns of aid and in the standards and levels of care provided for various needy groups. The most explicit of the factors to be considered are legislative changes that were approved shortly after the close of the decade. These changes include the 1939 revisions in the Social Security Act which provided for an extension of Federal 38 I I I participation in the financing of the three special forms of public assistance and liberalization of the old-age insurance program. The unemployment compensation provisions of the act were not changed basically by the 1939 amendments. As of January 1, 1940, the ratio of Federal participation in payments for aid to dependent children under approved State plans was raised from one-third to one-half. The permissible age limit for matching individual payments had pre¬ viously been raised, at the time the amendments were approved in August 1939, from 15 to 17 years for dependent children who continued in school. Also effective as of January 1940 was the increase in maximum individual payments which may be counted in computing the Federal share of payments for old-age assistance and aid to the blind in States participating under titles I and X of the Social Security Act. Federal funds may now be used to pay half of individual monthly payments not in excess of $40. The maximum was previously $30. To be balanced against these legislative changes, which will presumably lend impetus to the upward trend of public assistance payments, are the amend¬ ments to the old-age insurance program which are calculated to reduce the future volume of old-age dependency. These amendments advanced by 2 years, or to January 1940, the date for beginning .payments of old-age annuities, liberalized eligibil¬ ity requirements and average benefit payments during the early years of the system, and extended the coverage to protect dependents and certain survivors of insured workers. The extended func¬ tioning of this program and of the unemployment compensation programs now operating in every State should result in a progressive reduction of the incidence of need among the aged and tem¬ porarily unemployed. A less predictable factor in the future course of public outlays for the aged is the strong political drive behind old-age pension movements of various kinds. Proposals for further substantive changes in the public assistance titles of the Social Security Act center about the extent and basis of Federal financial participation, more particularly on the possibility of adjusting Federal grants-in-aid to promote greater equalization of treatment under different programs and in different geographic areas. The Social Security Board has repeatedly recommended the adoption of some variable-grant procedure ‘ to pemiit relatively more Federal aid to States with low economic and fiscal capacities. Attention has also been directed to the need for attaining more equality of treatment within States. Recurrent proposals for Federal participation in the financing of general relief likewise focus on the disparity in standards and levels of care provided by the States and localities, and their varying economic ability to support an adequate program of general relief. A Federal grant-in-aid program is urged as a means of raising general relief stand¬ ards in States and localities where they are dispro¬ portionately low, and also as a means for bringing general relief payments and conditions of aid more equitably in line with those for other assistance and work programs. The diversity and lack of consistent and logical relationships in eligibility requirements, levels of care, and methods of extending aid imder the programs now in operation constitute major prob¬ lems of integration to be resolved. A satisf actor}’' solution entails both the elimination of unwar¬ ranted geographic differences under specific pro¬ grams and the attainment of more explicit, equi¬ table, and stable relationships among all programs extending aid to needy persons. It involves, also, the preservation of a soimd balance among the social insurance programs and the public assistance and employment programs that will foster the development of preventive measures and at the same time afford adequate levels of care for those in immediate need of direct assistance.^ A second insistent problem of integration to be faced during the present decade is that of simpli¬ fying and coordinating the complex administra¬ tive and supervisory relationships that now hamper the efficient functioning of the relief and welfare structure. Part of the existing complexity arises from, and is perpetuated by, the mixture of temporary and permanent agencies. Part of it is the result of a division of authority and responsi¬ bility among Federal, State, and local governments without sufficient coordinated relationships and procedures to ensure the efficient and flexible performance of the structure as a whole. 1 Such action was recommended initially by the Board in Message From the President of the United States Transmitting a Report of the Social Security Board Recommending Changes in the Social Security Act, H. Doc. 110, 76th Cong., Istsess., p. 21. » Compare, on this point. Brown, J. Douglas, “Some Inherent Problems of Social Security,” and Burns, Eveline M., “An Appraisal of Services for the Unemployed,” The Annals, American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 202 (March 1939), pp. 1-7 and 46-62. 39 The potential applicant for public aid is today confronted with an elaborate maze of agencies and regulations governing the form and amounts of aid available to him and his dependents. He may find himself eligible for aid under two or more different programs or unable to qualify for any. Even if he is nominally eligible for a given pro- gi’am, he may be denied aid or transferred to some less adequate form of aid if available financial resources are limited.^ The confusion, overlapping, and gaps in the present structure of public aid call for progressive coordination of Federal and Federal-State pro¬ grams with those residual forms of aid left to State and local responsibility. Efforts toward simplifi¬ cation and integration must proceed at each level ’ For a graphic description of conditions in one community, see Qeddes, Anne E., “Relief Trends in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1929-37,” Social Secu¬ rity Bulletin, Vol. 1, No. 8 (August 1938), pp. 17-22. of government and must extend to all public assistance, work, and social insurance programs if they are to result in a smoothly functioning mech¬ anism for preventing and alleviating need. The present decade may not involve any such abrupt and startling departures from existing relief trends as characterized the early 1930’s, but it will inevitably bring evolutionary changes and internal adjustments of far reaching significance. In order to maintain a continuous record of those changes as they affect expenditure patterns and trends in the 116 urban areas, it is planned to issue supplements to the present report, extending the basic data for individual areas and interpret¬ ing them against the background of past years. The first such supplement, covering 1939 and 1940, consists of the discussion beginning on page 41, and appendix D, which contains tabular data for these years. 40 r Supplement for 1939 and 1940 Tbe years 1939 and 1940 brought substantial de¬ clines in aggregate expenditures for assistance payments and work program earnings in the 116 urban areas (chart 10). In 1939 a sharp drop in WPA earnings reduced total annual expenditures to $1.3 bUlion, or 11 percent less than the record outlay of the previous year. Aggregate outlays for the following year were 16 percent below those for 1939 because of another marked decline in annual WPA earnings and a sizable contraction in expenditures for general relief. The 1940 total of somewhat less than $1.1 billion was the smallest annual expenditure in these lu-ban areas since 1935. During 1939 and 1940 new provisions with I regard to the WPA program, amendments liberal- 5 izing the Social Security Act, the creation of the f Federal Security Agency and the Federal Works f Agency, initiation of a Federal unemployment in- surance program for railroad workers, and the inaugm-ation of the food and cotton stamp pro¬ grams of the Surplus Marketing Administration affected the structure of public aid and related social insurance programs and will presumably influence that structure for years to come. The total amounts expended for the various types of aid in the 116 areas combined during 1939 and 1940, the cumulative amounts for the 12- year period 1929-40, and tbe percentage distribu¬ tion for each of these periods are shown in table 8. Annual data for 1939 and 1940 for individual areas appear in tables D-2 — D-7, which show absolute expenditures, percentage distributions of these outlays, and amounts spent per inhabitant. Trends in Monthly Expenditures By September 1939 the composite expenditure curve had dropped 34 percent from the all-time peak which was reached in December 1938.

During the last half of 1940 total monthly outlays remained fairly stable, varying between $83 million and $88 million. The decline in the total expenditure curve from March thi'ough September of 1939 was obviously caused by the sharp curtailment in WPA outlays. This curtailment was induced partly by improved economic conditions and partly by a cut in the WPA appropriation to an amount one-thud less than that provided in the preceding fiscal year. A decline in WPA earnings was well under way even before the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act was passed in June 1939; between June and September monthly earnings in the 116 urban areas contracted sharply from $64 million to $40 million. Reduction in WPA pay rolls during this period was necessitated not only by the reduction in available funds but by a mandatory provision of the new appropriation act calling for the removal from WPA jobs by August 31, 1939, of all relief workers, other than veterans, who had been em¬ ployed continuously for more than 18 months. Workers still in need after a lapse of 30 days could be recertified for WPA employment but could not necessarily be reassigned immediately to projects. The existence in some areas of long waiting lists of certified workers and the reduced employment quotas in all areas precluded the possibility of reassignment of many needy workers. As a result, many of those removed from WPA jobs applied for general relief during this period, but the stringency of funds in many States and localities prevented expansion commensurate with the increased demand for aid. WPA earnings in the urban areas moved upward in all but one month of the period October 1939- March 1940, although they remained markedly below the monthly expenditures for this type of aid in the first half of 1939. Such earnings de¬ clined once more during the second quarter of 1940 and by June were not much above the $40-million level of September 1939.

Under the impetus of the defense program, employment increased substantially dm-ing the last half of 1940 but the volume of unemployment remained large, as is indicated by the fact that the number of applica¬ tions for jobs in the active file of the United States Employment Service, an admittedly incomplete measure of unemployment, stood at 4.8 million at the close of the year. It was necessary, therefore, to maintain WPA employment at a higher level than would have been possible if the appropriation had been apportioned over the full 12 months of the fiscal year. During the last 6 months of 1940, WPA pay rolls in the 116 urban areas remained approximately at the level to which they had declined in June. Outlays for WPA earnings for the final month of 1940 were only half those for December 1938: After moving upward in the first quarter of 1939, monthly expenditures for general relief declined in each of the next 4 months. Total outlays rose somewhat from July to August but fluctuated only slightly during the balance of the year. Although the expansion which had been recorded for the last quarter of each of the 3 preceding years was absent in 1939, the average monthly outlay for the latter year was slightly higher than that for 1938. A temporary advance in total payments in January 1940 was followed by a steady movement toward a lower level of expenditures. In the last 4 months of the year the amounts expended were the smallest since the summer of 1937. General rehef payments in the urban areas in December 1940 were less than $22 million, as compared with $27 million in December 1938. In contrast to the unsettled course of expendi¬ tures for WPA earnings and general relief was the steady growth of payments for the three special types of public assistance. By December 1940 combined monthly outlays for these types of aid had reached $22 million, or 26 percent more than in December 1938. From the last month of 1938 to December 1940, monthly expenditures for old-age assistance increased 26 percent, for aid to dependent children 28 percent, and for aid to the blind 11 percent. It is not possible to measure the effect on the monthly expenditure curves of the more liberal provisions for Federal participation which be¬ came effective January 1, 1940,® but it would appear that in the urban areas the impetus to increased expenditures was greater for old-age assistance than for aid to dependent children. From December 1938 to December 1939 monthly outlays for old-age assistance rose 9 percent; from December 1939 to December 1940 the in¬ crease amounted to 16 percent. For aid to de¬ pendent children, the increase was 13 percent in both instances. The latter half of 1940, however, witnessed an acceleration in the rate of growth in payments for aid to dependent children, where¬ as the rate of expansion in old-age assistance declined somewhat. Monthly expenditures for aid to dependent children increased only 4 percent from December 1939 to June 1940, but expanded 9 percent from June to December 1940. During these two 6-month periods monthly payments for old-age assistance rose 9 and 7 percent, respectively. Combined annual expenditures for the special types of public assistance rose 12 percent in 1939 and 13 percent in 1940. In the first of these years, old-age assistance expanded 10 percent, aid to dependent children 20 percent, and aid to the blind 9 percent. For 1940, the increases amounted to 15 percent for old-age assistance, 10 percent for aid to dependent children, and 6 percent for aid to the blind. In 1939, the rates of growth in old-age assistance and aid to dependent children in the urban areas differed only slightly from the rates of expansion in these programs in the continental United States, but in 1940 there were sizable differ¬ ences in the urban-area and national rates. The national rate of increase in old-age assistance was 10 percent in both 1939 and 1940. For aid to dependent children, the rate of expansion in the country as a whole was 18 percent in 1939 and 16 percent in 1940. In both 1939 and 1940, pay¬ ments for aid to the blind increased at approxi¬ mately the same rate in the 116 urban areas and in the Nation. During 1939 and 1940, monthly outlays for private aid followed much the same seasonal pattern as in 1938, although aggregate payments declined somewhat in both years. Annual expend¬ itures from private funds decreased 1.7 percent in 1939 and 3.4 percent in 1940. * See p. 39. 452436“— 42- 43 Per Capita Outlays The median amount spent per inhabitant for public and private aid in the 116 urban areas dropped to $23.36 in 1939 and $19.15 in 1940.^ The median outlay in the latter year was almost $7 below that for 1938. As in previous years, there were marked regional differences in per capita relief burdens. The New England areas showed the highest median rate of expenditure in both 1939 and 1940 — $28.22 and $26.61, respec¬ tively; and the South Atlantic and South Central areas the lowest — $10.83 in 1939 and $11.15 in 1940. Median amounts spent per inhabitant in the other geographic divisions were as follows: Mountain and Pacific, 1939 — $26.05, 1940^ — $24.71; North Central, 1939— $25.80, 1940— $21.03; and Middle Atlantic, 1939 — $24.21, 1940 — $19.08. Among the 116 areas, the range in per capita expenditures for total public and private aid in 1939 was from $4.19 to $44.78, and in 1940 from $4.88 to $40.37. Annual outlays per inhabitant for half of the areas were between $16.70 and $29.11 in the first of these years and between $13.79 and $25.59 in 1940 (tables D-6 and D-7). Median per capita expenditures for component types of aid in the 2 years, calculated on the basis of areas reporting some payments for a given type of aid, were as follows: WPA earnings, 1939 — $13.10, 1940 — $10.01; public general relief, 1939 — $3.91, 1940 — $3.56; and the special types of public assistance, 1939 — $4.15, 1940 — $4.49. For pri¬ vate relief, the rate was $0.13 in both years. The median amount spent per inhabitant for old-age assistance rose from $2.46 in 1938 to $2.78 in 1939 and $3.02 in 1940, and that for aid to dependent children from $0.84 in 1938 to $1.01 and $1.17 in the 2 succeeding years. For aid to the blind, the median rate remained constant at $0.10 for each of these years. Legislative and Administrative Developments The most important legislative developments affecting relief expenditures during 1939 were the changes in WPA employment and wage policies set forth in the Emergency Relief Appro¬ priation Act of 1939. In addition to the provisions already described, the act established various * Per capita amounts for 1939 are based on population data estimated from the censuses of 1930 and 1940; those for 1940 are based on data from the census of that year. restrictions and priorities in WPA employment, called for a revised schedule of monthly earnings, and altered the conditions governing sponsors’ contributions to WPA projects.^ For non-Federal projects approved after January 1, 1940, State and local contributions were required to average, on a State-wide basis, not less than 25 percent of the total cost of projects. Provisions of the ERA Act of 1939 governing the operation of the WPA program were in general continued by the ERA Act for 1940^1. The later act differed from its predecessor mainly in the inclusion of a number of specific provisions intended to facilitate the cooperation of the WPA in the defense program. All projects certified by the Secretaiy of War or the Secretary of the N avy as important for military or naval purposes were exempted from certain provisions applying to other projects. Certified defense projects were exempted from the requirement that sponsors’ contributions represent at least 25 percent of total project costs within each State, and from the limitation of an average of $6 per month per worker during the fiscal year on Federal expendi¬ tures for nonlabor costs in any State. Authority was also given the WPA to supplement usual Federal allowances for nonlabor costs up to a maximum of $25 million in the furtherance of defense projects. Other exemptions pertaining to such projects authorized departures from the regular schedule of monthly earnings and hours of work, and the maximum limitation on the amount the WPA was permitted to spend for work on any public bunding. The participation of the WPA in activities contributing to defense was also extended by the Second Deficiency Appropriation Act of 1940, which authorized the use of funds appropriated to that agency by the ERA Act for 1940-41 for training workers for manual occupa¬ tions in industries engaged in production for national defense purposes. The liberalizing amendments to the public assistance and old-age insurance titles of the Social Security Act passed in August 1939 have already been described.® Creation of the Federal Security Agency and the Federal Works Agency ‘ For a more detailed description of the provisions affecting WPA opera¬ tions in 1939 and 1940, see Report on Progress of the WPA Program, June 30, 1939, pp. 8-14, and Report' on Progress of the WPA Program, June 30, 1940, pp. 10-14. ® See p. 39. For an account of the amendments to the Social Security Act, see Fourth Annual Report of the Social Security Board, 1939, pp. 166-180. 44 under the President’s Reorganization Plan No. I represented significant steps taken in 1939 toward the integration of Federal activities relating to relief and unemployment. Grouped within the first of these agencies were the Civilian Conserva¬ tion Corps, the National Youth Administration, the Office of Education, the Public Health Service, and the Social Security Board, ^ Included in the Federal Works Agency were the Public Buildings Administration, the Public Roads Administration, the Public Works Administration, the United States Housing Authority, and the Work Projects Administration. The first reorganization plan provided also for the consolidation of the United States Employ¬ ment Service with the program for unemployment compensation under the Social Security Act, by transferring this service, hitherto in the Depart- ^ ment of Labor, to the Social Security Board. The ' scope of State unemployment compensation pro- . grams was altered somewhat in 1939 by the initia- ‘i tion of operations under the Federal system of unemployment insurance for railroad workers pro¬ vided for by legislation enacted in the previous year. Wlien benefits under the Railroad Unem¬ ployment Insurance Act became payable in July 1939 some 1.5 million workers formerly covered by State programs were transferred to the new Federal ^ system administered by the Railroad Retirement |n|^Board, which carries responsibility for the Federal ’ retirement program for aged and disabled railroad workers. During 1939 a development of potential impor- ilH tance to the urban relief picture was the inaugura- tion by the Federal Surplus Marketing Adminis- tration of the stamp plan for distribution of sui-plus foods to persons eligible for public aid. The new procedure, established experimentally in Roches- M ter, N. Y., in May 1939, provided for the dis- it- j tribution of surplus foods to needy persons through Iff; normal trade channels instead of direct distribution through central commissaries or other relief channels. The plan was intended also to increase the total food consumption of relief families by making sure that surplus commodities were received in addition to, and not in lieu of, normal relief allowances for food. In general, the stamp plan allowed certified relief families to purchase, from their regular relief payments, orange- ^ Additional functions and agencies were placed in the Federal Security Agency by the second and fourth reorganization plans. colored food stamps in values ranging from $1.00 to $1.50 a week per person; for each dollar’s worth of orange-colored stamps purchased, the family received 50 cents’ worth of blue stamps which could be used to purchase commodities currently listed as surplus by the Department of Agriculture. Favorable experience with the stamp plan in Rochester led to its gradual extension during the balance of the year. In 1940 the plan was ex¬ tended rapidly and by the close of the year was in operation in 231 areas.® These areas included part or all of the territory covered by 71 of the 116 areas represented in the urban series. In May 1940 the Surplus Marketing Administra¬ tion initiated another stamp progi*am designed to stimulate the consumption of cotton goods and to increase the ability of families eligible for or receiving public aid to purchase such goods. The mechanism of the cotton stamp plan was patterned after that employed in the operation of the food stamp plan. By December the program was in effect in 10 areas, including 7 of the 1 16 urban areas. While the extent to which the defense program would ultimately reduce unemployment and the need for public aid was hardly discernible at the end of 1940, certain implications for the immediate future were fairly clear. It was apparent, for example, that even a marked increase in employ¬ ment would have only limited and, in large part, indirect effect upon the need for assistance to groups of unemployable persons represented by recipients of the special types of public assistance and a sub¬ stantial proportion of the general relief load. Most of those employed on WPA projects lacked the occupational skills and semiskills requisite to employment in defense production, and there was a strong presumption that this lack characterized also the larger body of unemployed persons who were not receiving public aid. In recognition of the widespread lack of suitable skills among those comprising the labor reserve, a federally financed training program, begun on a small scale at the outset of the defense program, had been consider¬ ably expanded before the end of 1940. It was likewise evident that the impact of defense production upon the States and local com¬ munities would be very uneven because of the high degree of geographic concentration of defense * A stamp plan area may be a city, county, or group of counties. Summary data on the food stamp plan have been published monthly in the Social Secu¬ rity Bulk tin since September 1940. 45 contracts. Although increased purchasing power arising from defense employment initially stimu¬ lated expansion in consumer-goods industries and served to diflPuse the expansion induced by defense expenditmes, it was clear that the magnitude of defense requirements would eventually necessitate curtailment in production of consumer goods. Areas relying for their economic activity on con¬ sumer-goods industries thus adversely affected may face serious problems of industrial disloca¬ tion and accompanying unemployment. The need for looking ahead to the period of readjustment after the defense program is com¬ pleted was recognized in the authority given the National Resources Planning Board in June 1940 to develop plans for a large-scale public works program to be held in readiness for implementation in the post-defense period. Whatever the reper¬ cussions of the defense program upon relief needs and unemployment in the interim, it is a reason¬ able assertion that an adequate and well inte¬ grated system of public aid and social insurance will prove a substantial factor in public morale in a time of national emergency. 46 APPENDIX A Area and population of 116 urban areas, by geographic division and State Geographic division.

APPENDIX B COMPARATIVE EXPENDITURE PATTERNS FOR 116 URBAN AREAS, 1929-38 The series of charts presented in the following pages affords a comparison of monthly expenditures for public and private aid in the individual urban areas over the 10- year period 1929-38. The charts are designed to reveal interarea differences in patterns of expenditure as well as differences in trends and have therefore been standardized for mass; that is, they have been constructed in such a way that the shaded expanse under the total expenditure curve is identical for all the urban areas. Interarea differ¬ ences in the magnitude of total expenditures are thereby subordinated to differences in timing and in the relative emphasis placed on component programs and types of aid. In constructing the series of charts, a standard height on the vertical scale was used in every instance to represent the average monthly expenditure in the urban area for all types of aid over the 120-month period. The arrow on each chart marks this height and indicates the value of the 10-year monthly average expenditure for the individual area. The separate diagrams can thus be read accurately from independent dollar scales and at the same time can be compared visually with respect to changes in the com¬ position and volume of expenditures over the decade. In making comparisons of the charts for individual urban areas, a number of considerations should be borne in mind. One such consideration, of course, is the fact that the impact of the depression upon these areas was decidedly uneven, not only for the decade as a whole but also for any particular period within it. The relief patterns for many areas would undoubtedly be altered substantially were data available on a local-area basis for all programs meeting relief needs. The omission of programs for which data are not available for inclusion in the urban series (see p. 7) is particularly significant for the period beginning in the summer of 1935 and extending through the balance of the decade. During this period large numbers of needy persons were employed on work projects financed from Federal emergency relief appro¬ priations but operated by Federal agencies other than the CCC, NYA, and WPA. In some urban areas little or no employment was provided on such projects; in others em¬ ployment on these projects represented a substantial pro¬ portion of the total emergency employment provided on the basis of need. For certain areas the relief patterns during the brief period in which the Civil Works Program was in operation would be quite different if it were possible to exclude from the data for this program the earnings of nonrelief persons who were employed primarily for the purpose of stimulat¬ ing recovery by increasing purchasing power. Such per¬ sons represented about half the total number of persons employed on the program in the United States, and al¬ though statistics on the number of nonrelief workers are not available, it is known that the proportion that such workers comprised of the total number employed differed greatly from one area to another. As indicated on the charts, the WPA data represent earnings of persons employed on projects operated by the WPA within the area, rather than earnings of project workers residing within the area. It has not been un¬ common for large numbers of persons living in urban areas to cross city and county lines to work on WPA projects. For some urban areas for which the territory covered is the city, data on CWA and/or WPA earnings were avail¬ able only for the county (tables C-6 — C-11). In con¬ structing the charts for these areas, such earnings were estimated for the city on the basis of the ratio of the city population to the county population, and the top of the expenditure curve left open to indicate this circumstance. In a few other instances (Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, Mo., Minneapolis, and St. Louis) reported data became available for the desired areas after the tabulations were completed; the tables were not revised, but the new figures were used in constructing the charts for these areas. In the case of the charts for a number of individual areas, the data on work program earnings, which cover all pay¬ roll periods ended during the month, do not accurately reflect month-to-month changes in the level of project operations. Pay rolls may cover weekly, biweekly, or semimonthly periods. When earnings are paid on a weekly or biweekly basis, the number of pay-roll periods ended within a calendar month frequently varies from one month to the next, with the result that monthly earnings may fluctuate widely while the number of persons employed may change only slightly or not at all. Differences in the number of days in calendar months also contribute to the erratic character of monthly changes in work program earnings for some individual areas. A brief descriptive analysis of the charts appears in the text, pages 30-31.

It summarizes monthly data fimnished by State and Federal agencies responsible for the operation of one or more programs and issued periodically in the Social Security Bulletin, and shows in perspective the development of the public assistance programs under the Social Secmdty Act by the inclusion of data for Federal work programs and other forms of public aid. The present report lays particular emphasis on changes in the numbers of recipients of old-age assistance, aid to the blind, aid to dependent chil¬ dren, and general relief in 1941, and the effect of the rising cost of living? administrative policies, and availability of fimds on levels of payments. This report also presents a summary of trends in financing these programs during the period 1930-41, with an analysis of changes in Federal, State, and local responsibility for meeting the costs of public aid. An accom¬ panying analysis summarizes eligibility requirements for receipt of public assistance as of December 1941 under State plans approved by the Social Secmity Board, with notation of 1941 amendments to State laws. The earlier summaries published by the Social Security Board appeared as "Tabular Summary of Statistics of Public Assistance under the Social Security Act for the Calendar Year 1937” (Bureau of Research and Sta¬ tistics Report No. 1), "Trends in Public Assistance, 1933-1939” (Bureau of Research and Statistics Report No. 8), and "Public Assistance, 1940” (Public Assistance Report No. 1).

With the growth of defense production the number of persons in the United States dependent upon public aid declined, but individual payments to persons on the rolls tended to rise, partially compensating for in¬ creasing living costs. There have been sharp variations in the effect of the defense economy on 'Prepared in the Division of Assistance Analysis.

Variations in the extent to which com¬ munities participated in the war effort explain to a considerable degree wide differences among States and localities in the trends in each program. Other influences, although minor in determining national trends, were major determinants of trends in some States and localities. In 1941 public aid in the United States totaled $2.2 billion (tables 1,2, and 5), representing less than 2.5 percent of national income payments. The bill for public aid in 1941 declined 18 percent from the previous year, while national income pay¬ ments rose 21 percent.

See footnote 8, table 1, p. 1. 3 income paid for public aid was smaller than that of any year during the period 1933^1, m which the Federal Government has assumed major responsi¬ bility for relief of unemployment and need. In December 1941 it is estimated that 4.1 million households, including roughly 10.4 million persons in the continental United States, were receiving public assistance or work program earn¬ ings (tables 1 and 3), a decrease from the previous December of about 23 percent in the estimated number of households and of about 30 percent in the number of persons directly affected by these programs. The 10.4 million persons who were in households receiving public assistance or work pro¬ gram earnings in the last month of 1941 comprised about 8 percent of the population of the United States. In February 1934, when relief loads reached an aU-time peak, approximately 22 percent of the population of the country was in households receiving some form of public aid. These figures overstate the incidence of dependency, since public aid which supplements a family’s income may be given in behalf of specified members of a house¬ hold while the other members may be self-sup¬ porting. It may be assumed, however, that in December 1941 not more than 2 persons were actually dependent upon public aid for every 5 in February 1934. The decline in the incidence of dependency may have been even greater because it is probable that the proportion of self-supporting persons in families receiving public aid was larger in December 1941 than in 1934, at the depth of the depression. Table 4 Federal Work Programs Inasmuch as diminishing expenditures for public aid have been related in large measure to increas¬ ing opportunities for employment, in 1941 the work programs decreased more than the assistance pro¬ grams. In each year since 1938, earnings under Federal work programs have constituted a declin¬ ing proportion of the total volume of public aid in the United States. These earnings comprised 55 percent of total expenditures for public aid in 1941 as contrasted with 61 percent in 1940 (table 4). Despite a reduction of one-third of a billion dollars from 1940, Work Projects Administration earnings still constituted the largest share of total public aid in 1941. The total amount of WPA earnings — $937 million — exceeded by nearly 75 percent payments for old-age assistance, the next largest public aid program m terms of cost. In December 1941, however, when the program of old- age assistance reached a peak and the WPA pro¬ gram was at a low point for the year, 1,023,000 persons were employed on WPA projects and 2,234,000 persons received old-age assistance in the continental United States. Expenditures for WPA earnings represented about 42 percent of total public aid in 1941 as compared with nearly 47 percent in 1940. Expenditures for earnings of persons enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1941 amounted to $156 million and represented 7 percent of the total amount of public aid.

Because of the development of defense training projects in the out-of-school work program of the National Youth Administration, earnings under this program increased in 1941 in contrast to de¬ clines under the other Federal work programs in¬ cluded in the public aid series. At the end of the year, 620,000 young persons were employed on the student aid and out-of-school work programs of the NYA.

Old-age assistance comprised a little less than one-fourth of the total expended for assistance and work program earnings in 1941; aid to de¬ pendent children, about 7 percent; and aid to the blind, roughly 1 percent. The absence of major natural disasters was pri¬ marily responsible for the decline in the size of the program of the Farm Security Administration providing subsistence payments to farmers. Im¬ proved prices of farm products and increasing opportunities for off-farm employment also con¬ tributed to the decline in cases from about 45,000 in December 1940 to about 26,000 in December 1941. General relief expenditures in 1941 ranked third in magnitude, whereas in the years 1933 to 1935 such payments ranked first and were laiger than those for all other types of public aid combined.

The program of old-age assistance expanded more rapidly than the other two programs. In De¬ cember 1941 there were 2,237,000 recipients of old-age assistance, an increase over December 1940 of 8.1 percent (table 6). At the close of 1941 about 944,000 children in 391,000 families were receiving aid to dependent children, increases over the previ¬ ous December of 5.4 and 5.2 percent, respectively (tables 7 and 8). Approximately 77,000 persons were receiving aid to the blind, representing an increase over December 1940 of 5.3 percent (table 9). Factors which contributed to expansion of the programs are (1) the extension of Federal financial participation to successive new States, (2) liberal¬ ization of eligibility provisions in State laws, and (3) increase in Federal matching. Such changes have increased the funds available to State and local public assistance agencies and have enlarged the groups of persons eligible to benefit from the programs.

Such liberaliza¬ tions were reflected in increases in coverage in these States. In Indiana, for example, repeal of a provision for liens on property was followed by marked increase in applications for old-age assist¬ ance and by some increase in the number of re¬ cipients. The old-age assistance load in Washing¬ ton increased nearly 56 percent over the previous year, largely because the method for determining the amount of the payment was changed from one providing a maximum of $30 to payments of a flat amount of $40 minus income. In Georgia, where the State legislature determined that all persons eligible for old-age assistance should receive an award, the number of recipients of old-age assist¬ ance rose 48 percent during the year. Increase in Federal Matching No changes occurred during 1941 in the provi¬ sions of the Social Security Act for Federal partici¬ pation in individual payments.

A number of States first took advantage of these liberalizations in 1941 after amendment of State legislation; in other States the effects of liberalizations made in 1940 continued into 1941. Increase in State and Local Funds An added factor in expansion of the programs of old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind in 1941 was the increase in State and local funds and consequently in the amount of Federal matching funds. The assistance programs first came under the Social Security Act in 1936 during the economic depression. State and local funds available for the special types of public assistance in 1941 showed the first marked effect of improved economic conditions. With the upswing in business there were increases both in appropria¬ tions and in revenues earmarked for public assist¬ ance. Increased funds enabled many States to accept substantial numbers of persons whose ap¬ plications had been pending for some time. In States administering programs throughout 1940 and 1941 under plans approved by the Social Security Board, the number of applications pend¬ ing was reduced by 50,000 for old-age assistance, by about 7,000 for aid to dependent children, and by about 800 for aid to the blind. State Variations The rise from December 1940 to December 1941 in the coverage of the programs of old-age assist¬ ance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind for the Nation as a whole obscured the varied trends in the State programs. The differ¬ ences in the amount and direction of change in the coverage of each program are summarized in table 10. Old-age assistance. — Expansion in coverage of the old-age assistance programs occurred in all but five States (table 6). Among the reasons for such general expansion are the progressive increase in the number of aged persons in the general popula¬ tion and the popular interest in their security. Increased employment opportunities did not result in any substantial reduction in the number of recipients of old-age assistance, even in centers Table 10.— Special types of assistance: Number of States with specified percentage changes in number of recipients from December 1940 to December 1941, by program Number of States Percentage change Old-age assistance Aid to de¬ pendent chil¬ dren (family) Aid to the blind Total _ 51 1 47 1 43 Increase: Under 5.0 . . 24 11 6 5.0-9.9 _ _ 12 9 8 5 10.0-19.9 _ _ 7 7 20.0 and over ... 3 5 4 Decrease: Under 5.0 _ _ 5 8 17 2 5.0-9.9 _ _ _ _ _ 1 10.0-19.9 _ _ _ 6 20.0 and over . . . . 1 > Excludes States which had no State-wide programs in December 1940, States for which data are estimated, and States with less than 100 recipients in December 1940. of armament production.^ The majority of the recipients of old-age assistance are aged 70 or over and hence are comparatively unemployable. In Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, and Tennessee, as contrasted with the other States, the number of persons receiving old-age assistance in December 1941 was lower than in the previous December. The declines in Maryland and New Jersey were fairly continuous throughout the year. Aid to dependent children. — From January through May 1941 the number of families receiving aid to dependent children in the United States continued an upward trend, partly reflecting liberalizations in the matching provisions which became effective in January 1940 (tables 7 and 8). In June 1941 the case load began a decline which continued until October, when the effect of the new Federal-State programs became apparent. From December 1940 to December 1941 the num¬ ber of families receiving aid to dependent children declined in 15 States.^ In 5 of these States — Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York — the downward trend began in 1940 and by December 1941 resulted in reductions of 1 1-23 percent in the number of families aided. These declines may be explained by several factors, including the employment of parents or other adults caring for dependent children, the employment of older children, and the movement of families to WPA rolls. Data on reasons for 1 Perkins, Walter M., “Measuring the Effect of Defense Employment on Relief Loads,” Social Security BuUelin, Vol. 5, No. 2 (February 1942), pp. 5-9. 1 Alabama, Arizona, California. Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ten¬ nessee, and Wisconsin. 10 closing cases suggest that, among other factors, the failure of aid to dependent children payments in most States to keep pace with the rising cost of living may have encouraged some mothers needed in the home for the care of young children to go to work and some older children to leave school for jobs. In times of economic depression the relief rolls are heavily weighted with workers with little formal education. Some of the children who are now leaving the aid to dependent children rolls to go to work may find it difficult to compete with better educated workers in periods of unemploy¬ ment and may again need public aid with the downswing of the business cycle. Aid to the blind. — During 1941 the number of recipients of aid to the blind increased in the country as a whole, but declined in almost half the States providing such assistance (table 9). In most of these States, however, the declines were small. Increased support from relatives, the restoration or improvement of vision of blind per¬ sons, and employment of blind persons contrib¬ uted to the decrease in the number aided. During the year, 54 workshops for the blind in 27 States were engaged in filling Government orders for a variety of products for which the war has increased the demand.^ In North Dakota a decline of more than 38 percent from December 1940 to Decem¬ ber 1941 resulted from the transfer of aged blind persons to old-age assistance, for which funds are more nearly adequate. Similar shifts may have occurred in some other States. Applications and Case Closings The change to a defense economy was reflected in declines in applications received and increases in cases closed under all thi-ee programs. The changes from 1940 to 1941 in applications and closings in States in which Federal-State programs operated throughout both years is given in table 11. The rate of decline in applications was sim¬ ilar for the different programs. There were, however, very sharp differences among the pro¬ grams in the rate of increase in case closings. There was only a veiy slight increase in the number of aged persons dropped from the roUs, but the number of families for whom aid to dependent children was discontinued increased by one-half. 5 “About the Blind,” Surety Midmonthly, Vol. 78, No. 1 (January 1942), p. 23.

Changes in Coverage of General Relief The general relief program is primarily a residual program, the size of which is influenced by trends in other programs as well as by changes in eco¬ nomic conditions (table 12). The sharp rise in employment radically reduced general relief loads in 1941*. In December 1941, 798,000 cases were on the relief rolls, a drop of 441,000 cases or nearly 36 percent from December 1940. The decline in the number of persons aided is estimated to be more than 40 percent. The major part of the reduction in general relief loads is attributable to expanding employment opportunities in war industries. Relatively few workers formerly on relief, however, went directly into jobs in war industries, since these industries drew primarily from civilian industries and drew only the best qualified workers from Federal work programs and general relief rolls. Many vacancies thus created in industries producing for civilian use were filled by workers from the Federal work programs and the general relief rolls. The shift to industry of workers on Federal work programs more than offset the reduction in employment quotas resulting from cuts in appropriations, and many relief recipients were able to obtain employ¬ ment on projects with earnings higher than their relief payments. The prevalence of job opportunities has induced many general relief agencies to adopt policies under wliich relief is given only to families in which no member is presumed to be employable. Conse¬ quently, most of the people remaining on relief are in families without “employables.” Since families with employable members tend to be larger than other families, the cases remaining on the rolls are 11 the smaller families, including a large number of one-person cases. The average number of persons per case was estimated to be 2.9 in December 1940, and 2.6 in December 1941. Of continuing but secondary significance in the decline in general relief loads during 1941 is the growth in the programs of old-age assistance and aid to dependent children. State Trends Although in 1941 the trend in general relief was downward in almost all States, the rates of decline and the seasonal changes in the case loads of individual States varied widely from the trend for the Nation as a whole (chart 1). Armament production infiuenced case loads significantly in some States and had relatively slight influence in others. In regions where general relief programs have made little or no provision for families in need because of unemployment or under-employment, the possibilities of reduction in relief loads were negligible. In the southern States, which are not primarily industrial and in which general relief is meager, case loads were relatively stable; the number of relief cases even increased from December 1940 to Table 12.— General relief in the continental United States: Cases receiving assistance, by State and month, 1941 [Corrected to Feb. 15, 1942] State January February March April May June July August September October November Deeember Total . 1, 257, 000 1, 230, 000 1, 210, 000 1, 153, 000 1, 038, 000 934, 000 876, 000 859,000 817,000 796,000 782,000 798,000 Alabama _ 2,316 2,356 2,364 2,382 2,429 2,387 2,390 2,352 2,337 2,320 2,321 2,286 Arizona.. _ _ 3, 169 3, 079 3, 184 3,106 3, 075 2,799 2, 845 2,854 2,687 2,671 2,733 2,821 Arkansas _ 4, 406 4, 392 4, 393 4,393 4,318 3, 463 3, 363 3,267 3,228 3, 183 3,606 3,848 California ’ _ 89, 093 84, 026 82, 178 78, 057 71, 870 62, 140 2 45, 393 42, 181 35, 375 32,502 30, 782 31,564 Colorado * _ 15, 701 15, 181 14, 440 14, 419 12, 534 10, 013 8,561 8,541 8, 861 8,310 8,904 10, 272 Connecticut-. - _ 13, 405 12, 916 12, 484 11,281 9,681 8,571 8,046 7,765 7,514 7,240 7,020 7,110 Delaware _ 1, 124 1,087 1, 184 1, 179 1,073 951 816 808 807 747 760 746 District of Columbia. 2,069 2, 157 2,207 2,240 2, 148 2,075 2,075 2,223 2,265 2,208 2, 165 2,059 Florida.. . . 9,003 7, 975 8, 257 8, 409 8, 434 8, 343 8,528 8,467 8, 274 8, 193 7, 983 8,204 Georgia _ 6,873 6,473 6,298 5, 979 5,962 5,880 5, 957 5,841 6,850 6, 017 5, 874 6,025 Idaho ‘ _ _ 2,376 2, 335 2,346 2,208 1,456 1,410 1,370 1,411 1,361 1,324 1,282 1,225 Illinois _ _ 150, 756 147, 193 144, 798 139, 339 126, 533 113,900 108, 872 111, 195 108,606 105, 907 102, 537 99,502 Indiana ». . . 44, 496 43, 227 40,560 34, 578 27, 815 23, 484 23, 282 23,766 24, 172 23, 199 23, 636 24,698 Iowa _ 27, 339 27, 048 26, 698 24, 679 20, 875 18, 759 18, 102 17, 711 16, 510 15,950 15, 848 16, 828 Kansas _ _ 15,990 16, 290 15, 265 14, 052 13,264 12, 186 11,222 11, 723 11, 797 11, 699 11, 848 11, 628 Kentucky * _ Louisiana _ _ 5,700 6, 100 6,000 5,300 4,700 5,000 5,200 4,700 4,700 4,400 4,700 4,500 11,496 11,901 12, 404 12, 455 12, 569 12, 677 12, 262 12, 100 11, 944 11, 885 11,902 11, 887 Maine _ IQ, 086 9,568 9, 207 8,842 7,791 6,774 6,247 5, 886 5,700 5, 639 5,595 5, 882 Maryland _ 8, 676 8,665 8, 752 8, 374 7,683 7, 241 7, 099 7,079 7,139 6, 995 6,988 7,098 Massachusetts _ 52, 753 49, 858 48,228 45, 135 40, 921 36, 732 37,266 36,820 35, 505 35, 127 34, 245 35, 352 Michigan _ _ Minnesota _ 51,417 50,329 49, 519 46, 685 40,397 32,829 30, 227 30, 886 30, 542 31, 335 31, 483 33, 717 34, 825 33, 705 33, 273 31,805 26, 976 23, 303 21, 465 21, 441 20, 341 20,236 21, 278 22, 651 Mississippi _ Missouri-- . . 903 916 905 897 918 745 737 700 701 693 638 682 25,011 24, 669 24, 128 23, 029 21, 398 19, 879 18, 159 16, 233 14, 930 14, 978 15, 152 15, 757 Montana _ _ 4,633 4, 137 4, 187 3, 899 3, 313 3,004 2, 895 2,630 2,595 2,592 2, 729 3, 105 Nebraska _ 9,860 10, 050 9,783 8, 030 6,773 5,763 5,233 5,482 5, 285 6,137 6,087 5,626 Nevada _ 552 502 519 520 477 426 427 474 508 461 563 517 New Hampshire _ 6,956 6,501 6, 498 5, 992 5,287 4, 543 4, 156 4,001 3,781 3,594 3,548 3,692 New Jersey * _ New Mexico * _ 38,154 37,294 35, 744 35, 737 31, 589 26,539 25, 264 24, 893 23, 867 23,268 23,004 23, 475 1,754 1,837 1,906 1, 774 1,795 1,759 1,733 1,609 1,409 945 1, 165 1, 164 New York ? _ 237, 375 236, 482 238, 445 229, 603 212, 594 199, 949 195, 256 192, 550 183, 950 179, 685 173, 762 174, 557 North Carolina _ 5,669 5, 644 5, 274 4, 754 4,601 4, 435 4, 180 4, 135 4,018 3,920 4, 174 4, 536 North Dakota _ 4, 102 3, 736 3,889 3, 653 2,862 2, 556 2,199 1,898 1, 954 1,968 2, 203 2, 854 Ohio _ 76, 775 76, 151 73, 995 65, 564 55, 545 47, 980 44, 514 45, 353 43, 373 42, 188 42, 071 43, 351 Oklahoma * _ 12, 164 12, 056 11,267 9,963 10, 618 11, 129 5,987 9, 777 10, 436 10, 079 9, 490 10, 108 Oregon . _ _ 9,744 8, 887 8,313 7, 895 7,222 6,581 6, 055 5, 756 5, 468 5, 388 5, 549 6, 916 Pennsylvania _ 155, 893 152, 455 151, 455 146, 726 134, 730 123, 071 115, 140 106, 227 93,700 87, 261 81, 560 80,771 Rhode Island * _ 3 6, 254 3 4, 962 3 4, 697 « 4, 480 3 3, 885 3 3, 220 3 3, 292 33,117 2, 972 3, 090 3f 1 13 3, 293 South Carolina. - _ 2, 148 2,143 2,183 2, 186 2, 184 2,272 2,311 2,371 2,361 2, 413 2, 428 2, 432 South Dakota _ 4,994 5,128 4, 937 4,738 4,010 3, 126 2,902 2,693 2,365 2, 574 2, 687 2,929 Tftnne.s.sftfi ^ . . 3, 300 3,400 3,400 2,900 2,700 2,600 2,700 2,700 2, 600 2,700 2,600 2,600 TpYas 11, 160 11, 223 10, 725 10,290 10, 351 9, 550 9, 128 8, 948 9,048 by 852 8, 790 9, 460 Utah 5, 486 5; 283 5, 344 5, 438 5,269 4, 855 4,808 4,804 4, 075 4, 141 3) 881 4, 158 Vprmnnt .... 2, 530 2, 367 2,349 2,086 1,828 1,599 1,437 1,395 1,349 1,383 1, 408 1, 641 Virginia _ _ Washington . .

Some States, on the other hand, experienced a much sharper reduction in general relief loads than the country as a whole. In California, for example, the liquidation of the State Relief Administration combined with the upswing in employment resulted in a drop of 62 percent in the number of relief cases from Decem¬ ber 1940 to December 1941. In a few States particular conditions produced highly irregular trends. Strikes in the coal mines of West Virginia, for example, increased the number of families on relief by 45 percent in a single month ; settlement of the strike was followed by a return to the previous level. Changes in Assistance Payments Adjustments of Payments to Increased Cost of Living The rise in the cost of living in 1941 was accom¬ panied by a general rise in levels of assistance payments, but the rise in payments lagged behind that in prices and does not appear to be commen¬ surate with this increase. Although a number of surveys in limited areas have provided a basis for keeping the standards for determining need abreast of the changes in cost of living, no satisfactory measure exists of the general rise m the living costs of recipients of assistance, as distinguished from others in the general population. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, however, estimates that for wage earners and lower-salaried workers in large cities the cost of living rose 9.7 percent from December 1940 to December 1941.

The lower the income available for living expenses the greater the significance of the amount available for expenditures for food ; hence it seems probable that families mainly dependent on public assist¬ ance experienced more than a 9.7-percent rise in their cost of living. Prices of goods and services have risen much more sharply in some places than in others. Costs have varied also among mdividual families as well as from place to place. For instance, the impact of rising prices has been felt more by families which must buy all the goods and services they consume than by those who own their homes or produce part of their food and fuel. The effect of increasing costs of living has been offset somewhat by increases in wage scales or in the number of hours of employment under several Federal work programs. On November 1, 1941, the WPA put into effect a wage scale providing increases of $5.20 per month for all workers on nondefense projects, except the professional and technical groups who received an increase of $3.90. Earnings on defense projects under the WPA rose because of an increase in hours worked. On ! July 1, 1941, the number of hours worked on the out-of-school work program of the NYA was in¬ creased and the maximum wage on defense train¬ ing projects was raised $4 to $5 per month, depending upon the region. The Farm Security Administration endeavored in 1941, through its rehabilitation program, to reach even more farmers than this program had previously aided. The subsistence payments given to these farmers in 1941 provided for certain household and clothing needs in addition to the food formerly provided. Other public assistance agencies have also recognized increasing living costs and have in general attempted to raise amounts of payments. Average payments for old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, and general relief have risen slightly in the United States, as shown below, and have risen by varying amounts in the great majority of States (table 14).

The averages serve as rough measures of levels of assistance payments although they do not, of course, measure average income of recipients. No information is available to indicate whether, in general, there has been an appreciable rise in the resources of recipients which the assistance payments are intended to supplement.

A few States which did not make substantial increases in 1941 had made such increases in 1940. The rise in the cost of living was not the only factor influencmg levels of payments. Federal participation in the programs of aid to dependent children in South Dakota and Illinois, which came under the Social Security Act late in 1940 and in 1941, respectively, caused average pay¬ ments in these States to rise sharply. Some ad¬ justments of payments to meet rising living costs have occurred without increasing average pay¬ ments. Because of changes in the characteristics of case loads, such as the declme in the number of persons per general relief case, standards for determining amounts of assistance may have been maintained or raised without a rise in average payments. Influence of Prescribed Maximums Sometimes increases in payments .affect only a small proportion of recipients and are not dis¬ tributed over the entire case load. In some States average payments have increased because 15 / prescribed maximums on the amounts of payments were raised or were removed in 1941, affecting the group of payments which had formerly been limited by maximum amounts of assistance. At the end of 1941, maximums were still pre¬ scribed by State law or agency policy for 45 of the 51 programs of old-age assistance, 36 of the 44 programs of aid to the blind administered under Chart 4. — Effect of variations in availability of funds: Percentage distribution of payments for special types of public assistance, by amount, in selected States, November 1941 PeftCENT e 5 I - to 5 O t 8.4 percent of payments exceeded $70. 465439°— 42 - 3 16 the Social Security Act, and 27 of the 47 programs of aid to dependent children operated under the act. In 1941,^ about one-eighth of the payments of old-age assistance in these States, roughly one-fifth of the payments of aid to the blind, and more than one-third of the payments of aid to dependent children were already at the highest amount permitted by State regulations. In several States the proportions of payments at the prescribed maximums were much higher than in the country as a whole. For example, more than 42 percent of old-age assistance pay- < Data for old-age assistance and aid to the blind are based on reports for November 1941; data for aid to dependent children on reports for May 1941. ments in Arizona, nearly 44 percent in the District of Columbia, and about 60 percent in California were for maximum amounts. In 10 States, more than half of all payments for aid to dependent children were at the maximum amounts and consequently could not be increased to meet rising living costs. Administrative Limitations Changes in amounts of payments may lag behind increases in the cost of living for legal and administrative reasons also.

Further¬ more, the size of case loads in relation to personnel sometimes places a serious stram on staff time available for making adjustments in assistance plans in individual cases to conform to changed requirements and resources. Even though adjust¬ ments are under way, in many States and localities. it had not been possible by the end of 1941 for some agencies to change the amount of the pay¬ ments received by a substantial proportion of the case load. Influence of Inadequate Funds The most marked discrepancies between the need of the individual recipient and the amount of assist¬ ance received result from inadequacies of funds available for assistance (chart 4).

Shortage of funds usually is a more acute problem for programs which depend in whole or in part on local and State funds than for programs financed wholly or chiefly from Federal funds. The increase in November 1941 in WPA earnings, paid wholly from Federal funds, affected all persons employed under this program through¬ out the United States. On the other hand, some States were unable to increase assistance pay¬ ments, and frequently increases which were made were not uniform throughout the State. Pay¬ ments for general relief, in which there is no Fed¬ eral participation, showed the least rise.

To ensure as nearly equitable treatment as possible, a State agency administering the special types of public assistance sometimes instructs local agencies to provide a uniform proportion of the total require¬ ments of the recipient even though this propor¬ tion is less than the amount of established need. As of November 1941, provisions for uniform reduction of payments were in effect in at least seven States for aid to the blind, eight States for aid to dependent children, and nine States for old-age assistance. Some of these States pro¬ vided that all payments must meet the same pro¬ portion of the budget deficit computed by the agency ; other States had the fairer provision that payments plus other resources must meet a speci¬ fied proportion of total requirements of the re¬ cipients. The proportions prescribed by the States range from 50 to 90 percent. In a few States 75 percent, originally established as a minimum proportion, had become the proportion to be applied uniformly. Three States had max¬ imum proportions ranging from two-thirds to Table 18. — General relief in the continental United States: Payments to cases, by State and month, 1941 [In dollars; corrected to Feb. 15, 1942] State Total January February March April May June July August Septem¬ ber October Novem¬ ber Decem¬ ber Total 1 _ 272,869,000 30,555,000 28,883,000 28,769,000 26,279,000 23,280,000 20,581,000 19,828,000 19,645,000 18,546,000 18,591,000 18,438,000 19, 474, 000 Alabama -

In certain States which have inadequate funds payments are scaled down, but not according to a uniform plan. Sometimes payments are limited either by re¬ striction of the requirements which may be met- or by maximums on amounts which may be given to meet specific requirements. In general, the more nearly adequate financing of old-age assist¬ ance and aid to the blind has tended to promote more ample standards for determining need and amount of assistance in these programs than in aid to dependent children; standards for general relief often are still lower. Administrative and fiscal considerations, policies and standards for determining need and amount of assistance (including limits on payments), and variations among States and localities in cost of living have combined to produce the variations observed in average payments to recipients of public assistance (table 13). In order to afford greater uniformity in levels of payments for the three special types of public assistance, the Social Security Board has recommended to Congress variable grants to States related to their respective fiscal capacities. To raise the level of assist¬ ance payments for aid to dependent children, the Board has further recommended increase in the maximum payments provided m the Federal act for such aid. In comparison with other types of assistance. State and local provisions for general relief have always been inadequate. To lessen the disparity in assistance between general relief and other public aid programs, Federal participa¬ tion in the general relief program has also been recommended b}^ the Board, 1 21 Trends in Financing Public Aid, 1930-41* During 1941 increasing employment in war production industries greatly reduced the burden on the Federal, State, and local governments for financing public aid. Expenditures for public aid 1 dropped from a peak of $2.8 billion in 1938 to $1.9 billion in 1941, the smallest amount expend¬ ed since 1935 but roughly 20 times the bill in 1930 (table 19 and chart 5) . The history of relief financ¬ ing since 1930 can be divided into four periods; 1. From 1930 through 1932 the rapidly increas¬ ing bill for public aid was paid almost entirely from State and local resources, which proved insufficient to meet the widespread need in the deepening depression. The Federal Government recognized the inability of the States and localities to finance relief programs and first extended financial support for public aid in 1932. 2. During the next 4 years, 1933-36, expansion in total expenditures resulted in a marked redis¬ tribution of relief costs among the Federal, State, and local governments. Financing of public aid, formerly almost exclusively a local responsibility, was assumed primarily by the Federal and State Governments. 3. In 1937, when improved economic conditions permitted a reduction in total expenditures, there was some shift from Federal to State-local responsibility. 4. As expenditures reached their peak in 1938 and declined thereafter, the States and localities assumed increasing proportions of the total bill for these public aid programs while the Federal share dropped to that of 1933, the firstyear of large- scale Federal participation in relief programs. Federal Financial Responsibility The Federal Government assumed no financial responsibility for public aid until 1932. The period after 1932 was characterized by a marked •Prepared in the Division of Operating Statistics and Analysis. 1 Includes old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, general relief, subsistence grants of the Farm Security Administration, pro¬ grams of the Work Projects Administration (formerly the Works Progress Administration), and other Federal agency projects financed from emergency funds.

The amount of Federal expenditures, how¬ ever, reached its peak in 1938 and decreased dur¬ ing 1939-41 as the need for public aid lessened (table 20). In 1932 the Federal Government assumed lim¬ ited responsibility by making loans to States and municipalities for relief thi’ough the Reconstruc¬ tion Finance Corporation and continued to make such loans in 1933. From 1933—36 the Federal Government entered the financing of public aid on a large scale. Federal Emergency Relief Admin¬ istration grants for general relief were made to the States during 1933-35, and Federal expendi¬ tures for the Civil Works Program provided em¬ ployment during the winter of 1933-34. The special programs of the FERA, also established in this period, continued to provide public aid until early in 1937. The subsistence grants of the Farm Security Administration (formerly the Re¬ settlement Administration) and the work program of the Works Progress Administration were initi¬ ated in 1935; other Federal agency projects Table 19. — Public expenditures for assistance and work program earnings in the continental United States, by source of funds, calendar years 1930—41 * Year Amount (in thousands) Percentage distribution Total Federal funds State funds Local funds Total Fed¬ eral funds State funds Local funds 1930 . $98,024 $8, 572 $89, 452 100.0 8.7 91.3 1931 . . 217'. 043 39; 061 in', 982 100.0 18.0 82.0 1932.. . . 421, 370 $73, 523 92', 315 255', 532 100.0 17.5 21.9 60.6 1933.- . 1,059,657 677,091 122, 530 260. 036 100.0 63.9 11.7 24.4 1934 _ 1, 779, 313 1, 348, 572 176, 433 254, 308 100.0 75.8 10.0 14.2 1935 _ 1, 871, 315 1, 372, 389 242, 974 255, 952 100.0 73.3 13.1 13.6 1936 _ 2, 505, 303 1, 938, 550 336, 239 230, 514 100.0 77.4 13.4 9.2 1937. . — 2, 173, 580 1, 543. 895 396,073 233, 612 100.0 71.0 18.2 10.8 1938 . . 2, 827, 300 2,060,300 495, 582 271, 418 100.0 72.9 17.5 9.6 1939 _ 2, 638, 869 1, 831, 466 531, 430 275, 973 100.0 69.4 20.1 10.5 1940 . . 2,309,068 1, 582, 536 478, 635 247, 897 100.0 68.6 20.7 10.7 1941 . . 1, 950, 269 1, 297, 685 439, 904 212, 680 100.0 66.5 22.6 10.9 • Amounts differ from annual totals based on monthly series, tables 1, 2, and 5, pp. 1, 2, 4, and tables 15-18, pp. 16-19.

In 1936 the Federal Government made the first grants to the States for the special types of public assistance under the Social Security Act; since then no major programs have been established by the Federal Government. Federal funds represented only a negligible por¬ tion of the rapidly mounting expenditures for public aid in 1930-32. RFC loans, the first of which were made in 1932, paid only 17 percent of all public aid and amounted to only $74 million, all of which was spent for general relief (table 19). From 1933 to 1936 the amount of Federal par¬ ticipation increased threefold as total expendi¬ tures for public aid more than doubled. The Federal share rose from less than two-thirds to more than three-fourths of all public aid and reached $1.9 billion in 1936.

At the end of 1935, however, with the establishment of special types of public assistance under the Social Security Act and Federal work programs, the Federal Govern¬ ment withdrew financial support from general relief ; the Federal work programs represented al¬ most all Federal expenditures for public aid in 1936. The first decrease in Federal participation occurred in 1937, when improved economic condi¬ tions permitted a cut in total expenditures. Federal expenditures represented a slightly smaller proportion of total costs and were reduced by 20 percent from $1.9 to $1.5 billion. In 1937 Federal funds continued to be used almost entirely for the Federal work programs; the portion expended for the special types of public assistance, however, increased to nearly one-eighth from a negligible portion in the previous year. From an all-time peak in 1938 Federal expendi¬ tures were cut more than one-third as total need declined sharply from 1938 to 1941. By 1941 the Federal Government’s share of the total cost of public aid had returned almost to the 1933 level about two-thirds of the total — and the amount was down to $1.3 billion, the smallest sum since 1933. During the same period increasing propor¬ tions of Federal funds were expended for the special types of public assistance, while the work and assistance programs declined from almost 90 per¬ cent to less than three-fourths of the Federal total. In 1941 the programs financed entirely from Federal funds represented a smaller part of Federal expenditures than in any other year since 1935. State and Local Financial Responsibility Although the Federal Government assumed the largest part of the burden after 1932, the States and localities increased their expenditures for public aid more than eightfold during the period from 1930-39; since 1939 increasing employment has permitted reductions in State-local as well as in Federal expenditures. From 1930 through 1935, the localities paid the larger part of State- local costs. Since 1935, however. State expendi¬ tures have exceeded those of localities. Thus the relative responsibility of the States as compared with the localities has been completely reversed since 1930, primarily because of the limited financial resources of local governments (table 21 and chart 6). In addition, the States were encouraged to increase their financial responsibility for general relief under the FERA from 1933-35 and for the special types of public assistance under the Social Security Act, beginning with 1936. State financial responsibility. — The States in¬ creased their expenditures tenfold from 1930-32 as rapidly mounting need exceeded limited local resources.

Most of this increase was expended for general relief, which represented more than three-fourths of State relief expenditures in 1935 (table 22). From 1933 through 1936 the amounts financed from State funds were considerably larger than in the previous period but represented a smaller proportion of total relief expenditures. State costs dropped to one-eighth of the total in 1933 and remained at rouglily this level throughout the following 3 years. In amount, however. State expenditures increased almost three times; the largest part was spent for general relief. Ex¬ penditures for the special types of public assistance ulcreased in importance during 1935 and 1936 in anticipation of Federal grants under the Social Security Act, and general relief decreased from more than four-fifths of total State expenditures for assistance in 1934 to less than three-fourths in 1936. Despite the decrease in total expenditures for public aid in 1937, State costs continued to in¬ crease and represented almost one-fifth of the total costs of public aid in that year. The States financed a higher proportion of the bill for public aid in 1937 than in any other year since 1932 and spent almost three-fifths of their funds for general relief.

A larger part of total relief expenditures was paid from State funds each year from 1938 through 1941; in absolute amount, however, State expenditures reached their high point in 1939 and decreased thereafter. During this period State funds were shifted from general relief to the special types of public assistance, which repre¬ sented two-thirds of the total State cost by 1941. Local financial responsibility. — The responsi¬ bility assumed by the localities declined from more than 90 percent of public aid in 1930 to three-fifths of the total in 1932 (table 19). This decrease occurred despite the fact that local expenditures increased threefold from $89 to $256 million. The localities, like the States, used most of their funds for general relief, which by 1932 repre¬ sented almost four-fifths of local costs (table 23). From 1933 to 1936, as Federal and State responsibility increased, local funds continued to play a declining role in total expenditures. The local share fell to less than one-fourth of the total in 1933 and continued to decline in the next 3 years to less than one-tenth in 1936. The localities were able to decrease their expenditures 25 during this period and spent only $231 million in 1936 as compared to $260 million in 1933. Gen¬ eral relief, which continued to take the larger part of local funds, accounted for four-fifths of local expenditures for public aid in 1933 and thereafter declined steadily to three-fifths in 1941. Expenditures by the localities were slightly larger in 1937 than in the previous year despite improved economic conditions. The increase was expended entirely for the special types of public assistance, which rose slightly in importance in local expenditures while general relief declined. The proportion of total aid borne by the local¬ ities did not change significantly during 1938-41 although the local amounts decreased from their all-time peak in 1939 to an amount in 1941 which was smaller than that for any year since 1931. In this period of rapidly decreasing expenditures for public aid, local funds remained at about one- tenth of total costs but had decreased more than 20 percent by 1941. The localities still were expending more than half of their funds for general relief, but expenditures for the special types of public assistance expanded to 40 percent of local funds for public aid in the last year of the period.

From 1930 to 1934, expenditures for old-age assistance in¬ creased from $2 million to $32 million, primarily because of the establishment of programs by addi¬ tional States. During this period the localities bore somewhat more than half the cost (table 24). In 1935 several States established old-age assistance programs financed entirely from State funds in anticipation of receipt of Federal grants under the Social Security Act. As a result, more than two-thirds of old-age assistance costs were paid from State funds in 1935. When the Federal Government assumed its share of old-age assistance costs in 1936, State participation rose to 79 percent of the non-Federal share and increased slightly from that date to 1941, when it reached 82 percent. The large in¬ crease in State participation in 1935 and 1936 may be explained in part by the requirement that the States contribute to the financing of programs under the Social Security Act.

The amounts made available by the States for old-age assistance increased from $1 million to $16 million from 1930 to 1934. In anticipation of Federal funds. State expenditures jumped to $46 million in 1935 and mounted rapidly under the Social Security Act to $221 million in 1941. The local share, which had exceeded one-half until 1934, decreased to less than one-third in 1935 and has been fluctuating around one-fifth of State-local costs for this program under the Social Security Act. In absolute amounts, however, local expenditures increased from $19 million in 1935 to almost $50 million in 1941. The Federal share of old-age assistance rose steadily from 43 percent in the first year of Federal grants-in-aid to almost 50 percent in 1941. This increase reflects chiefly the extension of Federal funds to additional States. Aid to Dependent Children Prior to the Social Security Act, aid to de¬ pendent children, in contrast to old-age assistance, was primarily a locally financed program. Ex¬ penditures for aid to dependent children ran from $34 million to $42 million, of which the localities contributed more than four-fifths (table 25).

The State share increased from less than one-fifth of State- local costs in 1935 to nearly a third in 1936. Further large increases in State participation were registered in 1937 and 1938, and smaller increases thereafter. By 1941 two-thirds of the non- Federal cost of aid to dependent children was paid from State funds. In absolute amounts, State expenditures for aid to dependent children almost doubled in the first year under the Social Security Act and by 1941 had increased to $61 million as compared with $5 million in 1930. Conversely, the share borne by the localities declined from 86 percent in 1930 to 34 percent of State-local costs in 1941, when local expenditures for the program were only $2 million above 1930. The amounts expended by the localities since the passage of the Social Security Act have never reached the amounts spent in the years immedi¬ ately preceding 1936, The Federal Government has always assumed a smaller proportion of costs of aid to dependent children than of old-age assistance. In 1936, only 13 percent of the amount for aid to dependent children was met from Federal funds. As addi¬ tional States came under the Social Security Act, this proportion rose to about 25 percent in 1937-39. When the Federal Government increased its matching ratio from one-third to one-half as of January 1940, the share paid from Federal funds rose to almost 40 percent. Two major factors have operated to keep the Federal share well be¬ low the matching ratio. Several States have not qualified for Federal grants for aid to dependent children under the Social Security Act. In partic¬ ipating States, moreover, many individual pay¬ ments were made toward which the Federal Gov¬ ernment contributed less than half because of the Act expenditures increased to $13 million, and rose steadily thereafter to $23 million in 1941 (table 26). State funds met less than half the cost until 1935, when they represented 54 percent of the total. Under the Social Security Act, the States increased their contribution to the non-Federal share from two-thirds in 1936 to three-fourths in 1941. State expenditures ran between $3 million and $4 million annually before the Social Security Act ; thereafter they increased rapidly and reached $12 million in 1941.

Source: Totals for 1930-33 estimated primarily on basis of data for urban areas; distribution by source of funds for these years estimated on basis of provisions of State laws. Data for 1934 based on “Public Provision for Pen¬ sions for the Blind in 1934,” Monthly Labor Review, Vol. 41, No. 3 (September 1935), p. 592; for 1935, “Public Pensions for the Blind in 1935,” Monthly Labor Review, Vol. 43, No. 2 (August 1936), p. 315. Primary sources for all years supplemented by data published in State annual reports and special pub¬ lications. There was a corresponding decline in local ex¬ penditures, which were more than half the total in 1930 and less than one-fourth the non-Federal share in 1941. The level of local expenditures under the Social Security Act has been somewhat higher than in the period prior to 1936, and in the last few years has totaled almost $4 million annu- provisions governing the maximum amounts matchable by Federal funds. Aid to the Blind The histoiy of financing aid to the blind closely parallels that of old-age assistance, but the increase in the State share of State-local costs has been more gradual and not as great as for old-age assist¬ ance. Total expenditures for aid to the blind increased from $5 million in 1930 to $8 million in 1935. In the first year under the Social Security ally. The Federal share of aid to the blind has fluc¬ tuated between a low of 22 percent and a high of 31 percent. The comparatively small proportion of total costs paid by the Federal Government for this program, for which Federal grants represent approximately half the amounts expended under approved State plans, is explained by the fact that two of the States with the largest programs for aid to the blind do not participate in programs under the Social Security Act. 28 General Relief The cost of general relief rose rapidly from $57 million in 1930 to almost $1.4 billion in 1935, re¬ flecting the prolonged effects of the depression. During this period Federal responsibility, which was nonexistent prior to 1932, was expanded to meet almost three-fourths of the cost in 1935, the last year of Federal grants under the FEKA.

State financial participation increased from practically nothing in 1930 to 48 percent of State- local costs m 1935. When Federal funds for direct relief were withdrawn. State financing went up to 58 percent and stayed at about this level through 1940. The State proportion of State-local costs fell to 53 percent in 1941. State funds reached their first peak in 1936, when they approximated $247 million as compared with $224 thousand in 1930. After decreasing in 1937, State funds reached their all-time peak of $285 million in 1939 and thereafter decreased sharply to $145 million in 1941. Local expenditures, which represented almost 100 percent of relief payments in 1930, amounted to slightly more than 40 percent for each of the years 1936 through 1940. However, the amounts expended by local governments for general relief increased from $56 million in 1930 to about $200 million in 1935. After declining to about $175 million in 1936 and 1937, local funds returned to the 1935 level and remained there until 1940. Sharp declines after 1939 brought local costs to $128 million in 1941, the smallest amount since 1931. Because of the greater decrease in State expenditures for general relief in the last 2 years, however, the proportion of local expenditures increased to 47 percent. 29 Eligibility for Public Assistance Under Approved State Plans, as of December 1941* * Programs for old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind are administered by States under plans approved by the Social Security Board pursuant to the provisions of the Social Security Actd Subject to the requirements in the act, the States determine the scope of their programs, which is largely measured by the con¬ ditions of eligibility established for each. Federal grants-in-aid are made available to States administering approved State plans.^ Though State plans do not yet take full advantage of the maximum Federal funds authorized under the act, legislative action in the 46 jurisdictions which had legislative sessions in 1941 continued to show a trend toward liberalization of conditions of eligibility.^ The effect of such legislative action on existing provisions is indicated in this summary of the eligibility provisions in approved plans for public assistance.^ These State plans, while based on legislation, include provisions established by administrative action pursuant to the statutory authority vested in the State agency responsible for the administration of the programs. A somewhat arbitrary classification of the various State eligi¬ bility requirements has been adopted for this discussion. In the actual operation of the plans, administrative practices are affected by the avail¬ ability of funds and by determinations within the discretion of the agency. There is also a greater degree of relationship among many of the condi¬ tions of eligibility than might appear to be the case, particularly in relation to need, income and property limitations, and the responsibility of applicants’ relatives for their support. At the end of 1941, 142 approved plans were in operation. All 51 jurisdictions had approved •Prepared in the Division of Plans and Grants.

During 1941, more new plans were approved by the Social Security Board than during any other year since 1937, the second year of operation of the Social Security Act. One new plan for aid to the blind (Texas) and four new plans for aid to dependent children (Connecticut, Illinois, Missis¬ sippi,^ and Texas) were approved. Conditions Relevant to Need Need as a Condition of Eligibility The Social Security Act provides for assistance to “needy” individuals,® and “need” is the only limiting condition of eligibility required under the act for each of the gi'oups for whom assistance is available — the aged, the blind, and dependent children. The term “need,” however, is not defined in the Federal act, and, within broad limitations, the decision as to what constitutes need is left to the States. Effective July 1, 1941, the 1939 amendments to the act required specifi¬ cally that “the State agency shall, in determining need, take into consideration any other income and resources” of an individual claiming assist¬ ance.® Need as a condition of eligibility is usually described in general terms in the State plans. The determination whether the condition of need has been met is based on more detailed provisions in the State plans relating to standards of assistance, including the requirements of applicants, amount 3 All but Alaska, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. « All but Alaska, Iowa, Kentucky, and Nevada. 3 A Mississippi plan for aid to dependent children was approved previously but was inoperative after March 1936. 8 Sections 1 and 6, 401 and 406, and 1001 and 1006. • Sections 2 (a) (7), 402 (a) (7), and 1002 (a) (8). 30 of income, personal property, real property, “or other resources” of an applicant, the existence of relatives and others who support or are able to support the applicant, and the amount of assist¬ ance that may be granted. In many States, one or more of these individual factors form the basis of separate conditions of eligibility apart from that of “need”; for example, in some States, the appli¬ cant’s ownership of property in excess of a speci¬ fied amount or the existence of legally liable relatives who are found able to support the appli¬ cant would of themselves disqualify the applicant. General Definitions of ‘‘Needy Persons’* A needy person is most frequently characterized in State plans as a person with insufficient or in¬ adequate income or other resources “to provide a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health.” This standard of need is found in 29 of the 51 old-age assistance plans,^° in 27 of the 44 plans for aid to the blind, and in 17 of the 47 State plans for aid to dependent children.^^ A needy person is defined in other plans in a variety of ways, as one who is “deprived of the essentials of life,” “rendered permanently unable to provide properly for self,” “in need of relief and support,” “without adequate support and is un¬ able to support self,” or “unable to support self in whole or in part, having no one liable for and able to support, and without other means or sources of income by which he can be maintained.” The standard of need is also expressed in many different ways. A needy person is described, for example, as one whose income or resources are insufficient “to provide a reasonable subsistence in accordance with accustomed standard of living,” “to maintain self on reasonable standard of health and decency,” “to provide a reasonable standard of health and well-being,” “ . . . for mainte¬ nance in decency and health,” “to provide a rea¬ sonable subsistence compatible with decency, health and needs,” “to meet requirements necessary to Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missis¬ sippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. n Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. >2 Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. maintain a standard of health and decency,” “to provide necessary food, clothing, fuel, and shelter and incidentals,” “to provide reasonable sub¬ sistence,” “to provide a living consistent with standards of decency and health,” “to provide the necessities of life,” or “to provide a reasonable subsistence compatible with health and well¬ being.” In addition to the phrases “insufficient income” and “insufficient income or any other resources,” which are used most frequently in the definitions, inadequacy of income and resources is variously described as “income inadequate, including con¬ tributions in money, subsistence, or services,” “insufficient means,” “inadequate income and support,” “inadequate earning capacity, income or resources, from whatever source derived,” “insufficient income from all sources,” “inadequate income, when added to contributions from rela¬ tives or others,” or “inadequate means of support.” In three States (Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming) income or resources of the spouse of an applicant for old-age assistance are specifically mentioned in the definition of need as being included in de¬ termining the need of the applicant. In three States (California, New Jersey, and Ohio) inability of a needy blind person to support himself must be due to loss or impairment of sight. In addition to general definitions of need appearing in some of the plans for aid to dependent children, a de¬ pendent child is usually defined in terms of being deprived of parental support or care. These defi¬ nitions are discussed subsequently. In 17 States,^^ the plans contain no specific limitations on the amount and types of income and property of an applicant as a condition of eligi¬ bility for assistance in any category. In the re¬ maining States there is little uniformity with regard to these conditions of eligibility ; the provi¬ sions include various limitations on the amount and type of income, real property, or personal property, or combinations of such assets. Specific Income Limitations Nine States limit eligibility to persons whose income does not exceed a specified amount. With the exception of Florida, these provisions are all statutory and apply only to old-age assistance. 13 Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. 31 In Colorado the law provides that a person may be eligible if he has a net income of less than $45 a month. Alabama and Ohio set the maximum income at $480 a year. The Washington law speci¬ fies a yearly income of less than $480 and a month¬ ly income of less than $40. In Arizona an appli¬ cant is disqualified if his income exceeds $360 a year. In Utah an applicant may be eligible for assistance if his income from all sources does not exceed “a yearly average of $30 per month'’; if the applicant is married, the combined income of hus¬ band and wife living together is considered in determining the need of each. In Vermont an applicant may be eligible for old-age assistance if his own income does not exceed $360 a year or the joint income is not more than $500 a year. In South Carolina an applicant may be eligible if his income is less than $240 a year. The Florida plans for all three programs provide that liquid assets and income “should not usually be in excess of $360 a year.” This provision is not statutory. Real Property Limitations Maximum amount. — The limitations on amounts of real property are frequently qualified in one or more respects. It is necessary, therefore, to consider additional limitations in relation to the money valuations given in the tabulation: Maximum amount State and program i $5,000 _ Connecticut (ABC); Rhode Island (AC); Minnesota and Wisconsin (A). 3.500 _ Vermont (B). 3,000 _ California, Massachusetts, and Montana (ABC); New Jersey and Ohio (A); New Hampshire (C). 2.500 _ Oklahoma (ABC); Michigan and Vermont (A). 2,000 _ Iowa (AB). 1.500 _ Maine (AB); Maryland (A); Missouri (AC). 1,000 _ New Hampshire (AB). 500 _ Alaska and Colorado (A).

In Rhode Island (children), the specified maximum is further limited to property occupied as a resi¬ dence. In Massachusetts (aged), the maximum is further limited to equity in vacant land from which no income is derived, or in property in which the applicant resides. Of the 12 States with “other” maximums, Idaho (aged and blind) defines the maximum as a “reasonable amount”; the remaining States, in general, limit the ownership of property of an applicant, to qualify for assistance, to the home in which he is living. In Maine and Wisconsin (children), the applicant may be eligible in sucn case, if the cost of maintaining the property does not exceed rental costs for living quarters. In a few States, ownership of property in excess of the maximum will not disqualify an applicant if the sale of the property would result in a loss, if the property produces no income or insufficient income to meet the needs of the applicant, or if unusual circumstances exist. In nine States,^^ real and personal property are not distinguished with respect to the maximum assets of an applicant in determining eligibility for assistance. Ejffect oj marital status on maximum. — In five States the property owned by the spouse is in¬ cluded in determining the maximum. In Cali¬ fornia (blind), the applicant's share of community property is similarly included. In five States a higher maximum is prescribed if the applicant is married. In Colorado (aged), an applicant may be eligible if property owned by the spouse does not exceed $1,000. Exempt property. — In four States,property owned and occupied as a residence is not considered in determining the maximum limitation. Alaska (aged) exempts patents to homestead lands; and Pennsylvania (aged and children), property re¬ sources not convertible into cash. Assignment and transfer of property to agency. — Eight States include provisions for assigning or transferring real property to the agency as a con¬ dition of eligibility. In four of these States the maximum limitation on real property may be waived if the applicant conveys or transfers the property to the agency, to the extent and in the n Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Ehode Island, and Vermont (aged); California (blind); Missouri (aged and children); Tennessee (aged and blind); and Montana (aged, blind, and children). 1* California, Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin (aged). w Ohio and Vermont (aged), $4,000; Iowa (aged and blind), $3,000; New Hampshire (aged and blind), $2,000; and Missouri (aged), $2,000. ” Colorado (aged), property owned by applicant or spouse; Connecticut and Montana (aged, blind, and children); Vermont (aged), of value up to $1,000. 1* Connecticut (aged and blind); Massachusetts, North Dakota, and Ohio (aged). 32 manner required by the agency; and in the other four,^® conveyance or transfer of property may be required as a condition to receiving assistance, when no maximum limitation is imposed, or re¬ gardless of the maximum. Determining the value oj property. — In prescrib¬ ing the maximum limitations on real property as a condition of eligibility, the amount is variously characterized as “net value,” “equity in prop¬ erty,” “market value,” 22“assessed valuation,” ^ “assessed value, less recorded liens,” “assessed valuation of unencumbered property,” “value with mortgages and encumbrances deducted,” ^ “county assessed valuation, less encumbrances of record.” Personal Property Limitations Personal property limitations other than those discussed earlier with regard to specific income limitations and those which do not distinguish be¬ tween personal and real property appear in 28 State plans for old-age assistance, 17 plans for aid to the blind, and 16 plans for aid to dependent children. In six States, ownership of personal property up to $300 in value does not disqualify an applicant. In Wyoming (aged and blind), an applicant may be eligible for assistance if he owns up to $150 in cash; for aid to the blind, carrying charges not ex¬ ceeding a reasonable rental may also be allowed when the applicant owns his home. In Louisiana, provision is made in all three programs for a maxi¬ mum of $200 in bank accounts or postal savings. In four jurisdictions the maximum is $250; in the District of Columbia (aged and blind), an appli¬ cant may be eligible if he has insurance or an estate or bank account up to this amount, held for funeral expenses, but insurance in excess of this amount must be assigned to the agency; in Colo¬ rado (aged), the spouse of the applicant may also own personal property up to $500, and personal property exempt from execution or attachment is New York (aged and blind); Iowa, New Hampshire, and New Jersey (aged). »i> Minnesota and Ohio (aged); Vermont (blind).

In establishing eligibility, the maximum amount of personal property of an applicant is most fre¬ quently set at $300. This basic maximum is found in 16 plans in 12 States. In 6 States, the maximum is merely designated as $300 in cash or other assets.^® In 6 States, an increased maxi¬ mum ranging from $450 to $600 is permitted when the applicant is married.^® In North Dakota (aged), an applicant may be eligible when he or his spouse owns insurance with cash surrender value up to $300, or personal property up to $200. In Florida (aged, blind, and children), if an appli¬ cant owns $250 in insurance, liquid assets “should not usually” exceed $110. Three States®® have established a maximum of $500. In Maine (blind) , an applicant who has up to $600 in liquid assets may be eligible. Five States in this group specifically exclude certain personal property in determining the maxi¬ mum. In three States, such items as household goods, wearing apparel, and personal effects are specifically excluded.®^ In California (aged), the cash surrender value of life insurance of face value of $1,000 is excluded if the insurance was in effect at least 5 years prior to application. Massachu¬ setts (aged) specifically excludes the amount of the minimum admission fee for persons on waiting lists of private institutions, and certain life insur¬ ance with face value up to $1,000 or $3, 000, depend¬ ing on the age of the policies, or certain group insurance with premiums of not more than 50 cents a week. In four States ®® provision is made for trans¬ ferring or assigning to the agency personal prop¬ erty in excess of the maximum, which may constitute a waiver of the maximum as a condition of eligibility. « Delaware and Maryland (aged); Massachusetts (blind and children); Minnesota and Rhode Island (children); and Vermont (aged) includes life insurance. « Iowa and Nebraska (aged and blind); Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada (if husband and wife are both applicants), and New Hampshire (aged).

In six States, the maximum limitation on per¬ sonal property ranges from $600 to $1,000. In Alaska (aged) , the maximum is set at $200 in cash and $500 in other personal property, and the applicant may be required to pledge property in excess of $200 to the agency. In Arizona (aged), the maximum is $1,000 in cash and other personal property, excluding household furniture. In Del¬ aware (children), an applicant, to be eligible for aid, may have cash not exceedmg $1,000. The maximums in Oklahoma apply to all three cate¬ gories; $250 in resources and $500 cash or loan value of insurance, increased to $400 and $1,000, respectively, if the husband and wife both apply and are otherwise eligible. In Utah (aged), an applicant may be eligible when he owns insurance with a cash value up to $500 and $300 in personal property (market value) , exclusive of clothing and household furnishings. Washington (aged) pro¬ vides a maximum of $500 cash or loan value of insurance and $200 in cash and personal property, includmg livestock. In Connecticut, ownership of cash equivalent to a year’s maintenance does not disqualify an appli¬ cant for any of the three special types of public assistance. The applicant may be eligible, more¬ over, if he assigns personal property and life insur¬ ance, if in excess of $500, to the agency as required. In Idaho (aged and blind), the maximum is merely specified as a “reasonable amount.” In Maine, an applicant for old-age assistance with liquid assets up to an amount necessary for a year’s mainte¬ nance may be eligible; children may be eligible for aid to dependent children when their parent owns life insurance up to $500, with insurance on each child up to $250. Bank deposits up to $350 are also allowed, but a larger amount will not disqual¬ ify the applicant if the amount is approved by the supervisor of aid to dependent children. In Pennsylvania (aged and children), an appli¬ cant will not be disqualified for ownership of prop¬ erty not convertible into cash, excluding household goods, automobile necessary for transportation, compensation and damages for medical care, and veteran’s bonus; an applicant may also ovui $500 insurance ($300 for children under 16 in aid to dependent children), with insurance over $500 to be assigned to the State agency. In Rhode Island, an applicant may be eligible for old-age assistance if the life insurance for husband and wife does not exceed $5,000 in face value; in both old-age assistance and aid to the blind, assignment of all insurance in excess of $300 is required, al¬ though an applicant for old-age assistance may retain up to $300 in cash or other assets for burial expenses. In California (blind), ownership of insurance up to $1,000 maturity value will not disqualify an applicant if the policy was in effect at least 5 years prior to application. In New Hampshire (children), the maximum is $500 in personal property and insurance up to $500 for the parent and up to $150 straight life insur¬ ance for the child. In Washington (blind and children) , an applicant is not disqualified by owner¬ ship of household goods, personal effects, livestock up to $150 in value, certain foodstuffs, and insur¬ ance with a maximum cash surrender value of $300 and loan value of $100, if the policy has been in effect for more than 5 years. In Vermont (blind and children), ownership of household fur¬ nishings and certain other property that permit the family to maintain standards of living com¬ parable with previous standards will not disqualify an applicant from receiving aid; in aid to depend¬ ent children, $1,000 insurance for the head of the family and $250 for the child are established maximums, but may be waived. Changes in Property Limitations in 1941 The State legislation enacted in 1941 has general¬ ly relaxed property limitations as a condition of eligibility for assistance. During 1941, Alaska exempted personal property to the amount of $200 under the provision of the old-age assistance law which could require an applicant to pledge his property as a guarantee for reunbursement of assistance granted. In Mmnesota, the provision that old-age assistance may not be paid to a person with property exceeding $5,000 was amended to add that, if the net value of his assets convertible into cash exceeds $300, or the combined convertible assets of husband and wife exceed $450, the appli¬ cant is similarly disqualified unless liquidation of assets would cause undue loss. Ohio amended the property limitation in the old-age assistance law to permit a waiver of the maximum upon assignment of the property in trust to the Division for Aid to the Aged. Utah amended the old-age assistance 34 law to increase the amount of assets an applicant may own and still qualify. Disposal of Property to Qualify for Assistance Most States provide in one or more of their plans that an applicant may be eligible if he has not dis¬ posed of property for the purpose of qualifying for assistance. Provisions of this type are found in 47 of the 51 plans for old-age assistance, in 31 of the 44 plans for aid to the blind, and in but 7 of the 47 plans for aid to dependent children (table 28). Only 4 (Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, and Texas) exclude such a provision from all three types of assistance. While the most common provision is not limited as to time, many States provide a time limit, ranging from 2 to 5 years prior to application for assistance, during which a transfer of property for the purpose of qualifying for aid would disqualify the applicant: Time limit (years) Old-age assistance Aid to the blind Aid to dependent children Total _ _ _ _ - 47 31 7 2 . 10 10 3 3 . . . 2 1 0 5 9 8 1 None 1 26 12 3 1 Includes Minnesota, which provides, in effect, that a transfer of property tor the purpose of qualifying for assistance, made within 2 years prior to the passage of act of January 27, 1936, will disqualify applicant. In several of these State plans the provisions differ somewhat from the prevailing pattern. In California (aged), under an amendment en¬ acted in 1941 a transfer of property to qualify for aid does not of itself disqualify an applicant if the transfer does not deprive the applicant of the present use, enjoyment, or iucome of such prop¬ erty. In Michigan (blind), an applicant is not eligible if he disposed of property to qualify for assistance, or conveyed property to any person under a condition or agreement that such person should furnish support and maintenance, and such person is then living and able to support applicant, or if the property conveyed is subject to per¬ formance of the conditions or agreement. While most plans refer to disposal of property by the applicant, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wyoming (aged) include transfer of property by the spouse as well, and Arkansas requires that, to qualify for aid to dependent children, the guardian or custo¬ dian of the child must not have disposed of prop¬ erty for that purpose. In addition to the disposal of property to qualify, Ohio (aged), and Vermont (aged and blind) include disposal of income as well, and Wyoming (aged and blind) includes also the dis¬ posal of “resources.” Connecticut (under a 1941 amendment for aged and blind) and Pennsylvania (children) disqualify an applicant if the disposal of property was without reasonable consideration. In Pennsylvania (aged) , the provision is limited to property of $500 or more disposed of without fair consideration. In Maine (aged), an applicant is not eligible if he disposed of property to qualify or disposed of it without reasonable compensation. In addition to the usual provision that the applicant, to be eligible for assistance, must not have disposed of property “for the purpose of qualifying for aid,” in some States disposal of property for the purpose of getting increased assistance,®* or to preclude recovery for assistance granted,®^ or to evade the law ®® will disqualify an applicant. During 1941 , three jurisdictions deleted provisions on disposal of property from their laws.®® Responsibility of Relatives and Others Many State plans provide that an applicant may be eligible for assistance if he has no relatives who are legally responsible and able to support him. This type of provision is frequently related to other provisions in poor laws or in the general laws of a State requiring specified relatives of a “poor person” or a “destitute person” to support him if they are financially able to do so, and authorizing judicial action to enforce such support if the relative refuses. Under a strict interpretation of the provisions constituting a condition of eligibility, the mere existence of legally responsible relatives able to support the applicant disqualifies him whether or not he is in fact receiving such support. In many States the construction given to the re¬ quirement is tempered by the circumstances in individual cases. Many States without a specific requirement of this type give consideration under other provisions of law to the ability of relatives to support the applicant, in determining the extent of the applicant’s need and the amount of assist¬ ance to be granted. In some instances the agency 33 Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio (aged). 3* Michigan and Iowa (aged). 35 Rhode Island (blind) and Ohio (aged). 35 Hawaii (aged, blind, and children), Idaho (aged and blind), and Wyo¬ ming (children). 35 grants assistance and may bring action against relatives who are able to support the applicant but refuse to do so, and thus attempts to recover the amount of assistance granted. No clear line can be drawn between provisions w'hich constitute conditions of eligibility and those which are considered in relation to determining the extent of need and amount of assistance. Somewhat less than half the States, for example, provide that an applicant may be eligible for assistance if he has no legally responsible relatives who are able to support him. In a few other States the provision is worded to include relatives who may not be legally responsible for the support of the applicant, or to include only relatives or other persons able and willing to support the applicant. Sometunes the requirement is limited to relatives able to support the applicant “without undue sacrifice,” or able to support him without depriving themselves or their families of necessi¬ ties and conveniences ordinarily included in the standard of living in the community. Under other provisions in State plans, a person may be eligible if he is not receiving adequate support from legally Table 28. — Requirements relating to disposal of property to qualify for special types of public assistance, by State and program, December 1941 State No provision Time limit preceding application i 2 years 3 years 5 years No time limit A B c A B c A B A B c A B 0 Alabama . . .

A signifies old-age assistance; B, aid to the blind; C, aid to dependent children, s No approved plan. 36 responsible relatives, and in Texas and Utah the plans specify that no investigation shall be made into the financial ability of relatives of an applicant for old-age assistance. In some States provision is made that a child may be eligible for aid to dependent children if relatives (limited in some instances to legally responsible relatives) are un¬ able to provide adequate care and support without public assistance. The plans generally specify liable relatives to include spouse, parents, grandparents, children, and grandchildren; and, occasionally, relatives of other degrees of relationship such as brother and sister. Iowa and Michigan have somewhat simi¬ lar provisions to the effect that an applicant for old-age assistance may be eligible if he has no person, municipality, society, association, or cor¬ poration legally or contractually responsible and able to support him. During 1941, several States enacted legislation regarding the responsibility of relatives to support applicants for public assistance. Nearly all the amendments permit the agency to take a more realistic position in considering the resources of relatives as affecting an applicant's eligibility. Arizona and California adopted a provision that the granting or continued receipt of old-age assistance is not to be contingent upon recovery from relatives for the support of the applicant or recipient. Hawaii removed for all three types of assistance the restriction that an applicant may be eligible only if he has no spouse, child, or parent financially able and legally responsible for his support. North Dakota amended the pro¬ vision that a child may be eligible for aid to dependent children if his “relatives liable under the law for his support are not able to provide adequate care and support for such child without public assistance,” to read “whose parent, guardian or custodian neglects or refuses to provide proper or necessary subsistence, education, medical or surgical care or other care necessary for his health, morals or well-being.” Ohio amended the old-age assistance law to provide that an appli¬ cant may be eligible if he does not have available to him sufficient income and resources from responsible relatives. Washington amended legis¬ lation for aid to the blind to provide that no relative, except of a minor, shall be legally respon¬ sible for supporting the applicant, and that aid to the blind shall not be denied on account of any obligation or duty of relatives to support the applicant. Receipt of Two or More Types of Assistance The Social Security Act requires that a State plan for aid to the blind must “provide that no aid will be furnished any individual under the plan with respect to any period with respect to which he is receiving old-age assistance” under an approved State plan.®^ This provision prohibits the simultaneous furnishing to any individual of money payments under approved plans for aid to the blind and old-age assistance. Several States, however, have adopted more extensive provisions. Aid to the blind. — All approved State plans for aid to the blind contain provisions meeting the Federal requirement. In 27 States ^ a person may not receive aid to the blind if he is receiving old-age assistance, in Massachusetts a person eligible for old-age assistance may not receive aid to the blind, and in Ohio provision is made for an eligible applicant to receive either old-age assist¬ ance or aid to the blind, but not both. In Mon¬ tana, New York, and North Carolina, an applicant is not permitted to receive aid to the blind if he is receiving old-age assistance or aid in behalf of dependent children. Twelve States^® provide that a person may not receive any other form of public assistance (including old-age assistance), except for temporary medical and surgical care; Nebraska also excepts vocational rehabilitation, fuel, and food. In Louisiana a person is not eligible for aid if he has been assigned to the W^ork Projects Administration. During 1941 Arizona, Idaho, and Wyoming added a provision in the law for aid to the blind that a person may not be receiving old-age assist¬ ance. North Dakota removed this provision but established a maximum age limitation of 65 years for aid to the blind. New Mexico and Ohio deleted from their laws the provision that a person receiving aid to the blind may not receive any other public assistance except medical or surgical care. >7 Section 1002 (a) (7).

Six States have similar provisions, permitting, how¬ ever, receipt of assistance such as temporary medical or surgical care. In Georgia, a recipient of old-age assistance may not receive aid to the blind; Iowa has a similar provision, exempting, however, preventive or remedial treatment for blindness. In Illinois a recipient of any county blind benefits is not eligible for old-age assistance. Louisiana disqualifies a person who has been assigned to the Work Projects Administration. During 1941, New Mexico removed from its old- age assistance law a requirement that a person may not receive any other public assistance, except for temporary medical or surgical care. Aid to dependent children. — Hawaii requires that a recipient of aid to dependent children may not receive any other public assistance except for tem¬ porary medical, dental, and surgical care, while New Mexico removed a similar provision from its law during 1941. Louisiana disqualifies a person who has been assigned to the Work Projects Administration. Other Eligibility Conditions Age Limitations Old-age assistance. — Under the Social Security Act, a plan for old-age assistance may not impose a minimum age requirement of more than 65 years. A State is not prohibited from establishing a lower age limit, but Federal matching is not available for old-age assistance payments to anyone who is less than 65 years of age. All jurisdictions except Colorado have a mini¬ mum age requirement of 65 years; Colorado also provides for assistance in certain cases to persons at ages 60-64, but these payments are not match- able by Federal funds. The laws of four States provide for lowering the age requirement in the event that the age limitation in the Social Security Act is reduced (table 29). Hawaii enacted such a provision in 1941. Aid to the blind. — The Social Security Act con¬ tains no age requirements or age limitations with respect to Federal matching in aid to the blind. In the 44 approved plans for aid to the blind, « Arizona, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Vermont, and Virginia. 19 States provide no age limitations; 12 States re¬ quire a minimum age of 16 years; 7 States, of 18 Table 29.— Age requirements for special types of public assistance, by State and program, December 1941 State Old- age assist¬ ance, 65 years or over Aid to the blind Aid to dependent children None Minimum of— Un¬ der 16 years Under 16 years or, if attend¬ ing school regu¬ larly, under 18 years other 16 years 18 years 21 years Alabama _ X X X Alaska _ _ X (•) (') Arizona _ .

This provision, enacted in 1941, specifies that aid may be granted to persons only until age 65. In four States (Florida, Massa¬ chusetts, New Mexico, and Oklahoma), which have no statutory provision with respect to age, limitations have been established by administra¬ tive action (table 29). During 1941, 4 States removed the minimum age requirements from their laws, and Ohio repealed its maximum age require¬ ment of 65 years. Aid to dependent children. — The Federal act de¬ fines a dependent child, in part, as one who is “under the age of sixteen, or under the age of eighteen if found by the State agency to be regu¬ larly attending school.” While States may establish more liberal age requirements. Federal matching is not available for aid to dependent children other than as defined in the Federal act. Twenty-seven of the 47 approved plans for aid to dependent children have adopted age limitations coextensive with those in the Federal act (table 29), and 5 of these States (Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Washington, and West Virginia) have made pro¬ vision for liberalizing this requirement to accord with a change in the Federal act. Florida and New Mexico, which have no statutory provision, have established the age requirements by admin¬ istrative action. In the remaining 20 States, aid may be granted to children to age 18 in 4 States (California, Hawaii, Minnesota, and North Da¬ kota); to 17 years in Michigan; to 16 years in 13 States; to 14 years in Texas; and to 14 years, or 16 years if the child is found to be regularly attending school, in Missouri (table 29). During 1941, five States (Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Wyoming) amended their laws to include children from 16 to 18 years of age when regularly attending school; New Mexico removed its age requirement from the law; Missouri lowered the 16-year age limitation to 14 years, with provision for assistance to children up to 16 if they were regularly attending school or physically or mentally incapable of attending school; and Utah raised the statutory age limita¬ tion to 18 years. *> See footnotes 5, 6, 11, and 13, table 29, for particular State exceptions. « Vermont and West Virginia (21 years), Wyoming (17 years), and Oregon (16 years). « Section 406. Residence Requirements To be approved, a State plan must have no resi¬ dence requirement more restrictive than those permitted under the Social Security Act. For old-age assistance and aid to the blind, the maxi¬ mum Federal requirement is residence in the State for 5 out of the 9 years immediately preceding ap¬ plication and 1 year immediately preceding appli¬ cation.^ An approved plan for aid to dependent children may not impose a residence requirement which excludes “any child residing in the State (1) who has resided in the State for one year immedi¬ ately preceding the application for such aid, or (2) who was born within the State within one year immediately preceding the application, if its mother has resided in the State for one year imme¬ diately preceding the birth.” The Federal act merely establishes maximums that a State may not exceed; matching Federal funds are therefore available to States with more liberal provisions and to those which have no residence requirement. Old-age assistance. — Thirty-eight States require, as a condition of eligibility, the maximum per¬ mitted under the Social Security Act (table 30). In five of these States, however, alternative provi¬ sions have been established. In Iowa a person ‘ may be eligible if “domiciled” in the State for 5 of the 9 years immediately preceding application. | Minnesota provides that a person who has resided in the State for 2 continuous years immediately preceding application may add the years of actual residence in the State prior to the 9 years preceding application to establish 5 years’ residence in the State. Nebraska provides, as an alternative, that a person may be eligible if he has resided in the State for 25 consecutive years at any time, and 1 year immediately preceding application. In North Carolina, a person may also be eligible for old-age assistance if he has resided in the State for 2 of the 5 years preceding application and 1 year immedi¬ ately preceding application. In Wisconsin, an applicant who has resided in the State for 1 year may be eligible for assistance if the State from j which he moved has undertaken to grant assistance to any resident of Wisconsin who has moved to and continuously resided in such State for 1 year. Three other jurisdictions also require 5 years’ residence. In Alaska, a person, to be eligible for assistance, must have resided there for 5 years out Sections 2 (b) and 1002 (b). M Section 402 (b). 39 of the 9 yeais immediately preceding application. Vermont and Washington require residence in the State for 5 years within the 10 years preceding application. In Louisiana, the required period of residence in the State is 3 years, and in South Dakota 2 years, during the 9 years preceding application, with 1 year immediately preceding the application. Six States require merely that a person must have resided in the State for 1 year immediately pre¬ ceding application. In addition, Georgia provides that a person must have been a “bona fide resi¬ dent” of the State for not less than 1 year. New Hampshire has the most liberal residence require¬ ment for eligibility for old-age assistance, residence in the State for 6 months. During 1941, Hawaii amended the old-age assistance law, reducing the residence requirement from the maximum permitted under the Federal act to 1 year’s residence in the Territory imme¬ diately preceding application for assistance. Aid to the blind. — Thirty-three of the 44 approved plans for aid to the blind require the maximum residence permitted under the Federal act (table 30), but 17 of these States provide alternatives for meeting this requirement. In Oregon, a child under 5 years of age may be eligible for assistance if bom within the State. In the remaining 16 States, the residence requirement need not be met if the applicant lost his sight while a resident of the State. A similar provision is qualified in 3 jurisdictions: Colorado specifies that the applicant must have continued to reside in the State and the District of Columbia that he must have resided therein for 1 year next preceding application; and in Washmgton, the loss of vision must have resulted from a cause that could not have been known to exist at the time of entry into the State. In 2 of the 16 States, applicants may also be eligible if they were blind residents in the State on a particular date: in Iowa, on July 4, 1937 (date of passage of act); and in South Carolina, on May 13, 1937 (date of passage of State Public Welfare Act of 1937). In Louisiana the required period of residence in the State is 3 years, and in South Dakota 2 years, during the 9 years preceding application, with 1 year immediately preceding application. Five States require residence in the State for 1 year immediately preceding application, and 2 States, Arkansas and Georgia, merely require 1 year’s residence in the State. In Rhode Island and Arkansas, the residence requirement need not be met if the applicant lost his sight while a resident of the State. New Hampshire requires Table 30. — Residence requirements for special types of public assistance, by State and program, Decem¬ ber 1941 i State Federal maximum ‘‘6- year” provi¬ sion “1-year” provision Other Ai B2 C3 A A B c A B 0 Alabama _ * X X X Alaska _ _ 0) (0 X Arizona _ X ^ /• ‘ ^ 4 If "'»■>'!■:' ■> , v', '^•• ' f. h '4 I t • .

The average payment, commonly used to Indicate the general level of assistance, obscures the great variations In actual payments. The most comprehensive Information available on the size of payments Is the number of monthly payments made at each dollar Interval. Once a year, through the cooperation of the State agencies adminis¬ tering State-Federal programs of old-age assistance, aid to the blind, and aid to dependent children, this Information Is assembled for each State. For the most part, the payments analyzed In this report cure those made for November 19^2. Various patterns emerge from the array of payments by amount. Some I reflect the need of recipients, others the effects of legislative, fiscal, or I administrative provisions. To understand how each of these factors affects the size of payments Is Important In considering proposals for changes In pro- I visions for assistance, I The Influence of some factors, such as Inadequacy of funds or specified I limits for payments, can be seen more clearly In statistical data than can the I Influence of administrative procedures. National summaries of assistance pay¬ ments, as of any other aspect of the operation of the State-Federal public assistance programs, can be made only at the national level, where certain uniform data from all \inlte are available. On the other hand, the lack of uniformity In the practices of the State and local units makes analysis diffi¬ cult at the Federal level and may sometimes result In Incomplete Interpreta¬ tion. Assistance payments frequently do not represent the total Incomes of recipients; assistance often supplements Income from other sources. To relate amounts of assistance to the need of recipients, statistical data on the living arrangements of recipients, the amounts of their requirements, and the amounts of their Income from other sources are needed. The Social Security Board has only fragmentary Information of this kind. Fortunately, understanding of assistance patterns and of their Implications for recipients Is furthered from time to time by research In State agencies. A few State studies have been drawn upon as Illustrative material. This report Is regarded merely as one step In the long process of developing comprehensive Information on assistance payments. Since that process requires pooling all currently available Information, further State contributions are Invited to a common fund of much-needed Information on assistance payments. - 2 - PajrmentB In November 19^2 The amoimte of payments made to recipients for Novemher 19^2 spread over a wide range — from $1 to $170 per recipient of old-age assistance, from $1 to $102 per recipient of aid to the blind, and from $1 to $193 P«r family for aid to dependent chlldren.l/ Despite this great spread, the hulk of the payments made In the various States were concentrated within much narrower limits (tables 1-3)., The following tabulation shows, for each program, the proportion of payments made In the country as a whole at amounts grouped by $10 Intervals. Percent of payments Amount of payments OAA m ADC Total ------------- 100.0 100.0 100.0 Less than $10.00 ------------ 10.7 8.9 5.4 31.1 29.8 26.8 20.00-29.99 . 31.1 26.7 15 .5 50.00-39.99 . 16.4 17.2 18.2 10.6 8.4 13.1 50,00 or more ------------- .1 . 9.0 21.0 The majority of the payments for old-age assistance and for aid to the blind were In amounts ranging from $10 to $50, The most conspicuous differ¬ ence In the distribution of payments was that only a negligible proportion of aged, as compared with 9 percent of the recipients of aid to the blind, received payments of $50 or more. Nearly 97 percent of such payments of aid to the blind, however, were made In California, Aid to dependent children differs from the other two programs In that a single payment Is made In behalf of all children aided In a family, whereas for old-age assistance and aid to the blind, two eligible Individuals In a family usually receive two separate payments. This difference between programs Is reflected In the tabulation at two points. More payments were made for aid to dependent children In amounts ranging from $10 to $20 than at any other Inter¬ val, This conce^ntratlon Is due to the fact that the largest group of families cdded receive assistance for only one child. Payments for all programs are reported by State agencies by $1 Intervals. Since data on actual amounts of payments In dollars and cents are not available, for the purposes of this report all payments are regarded as made at the lower level of the Intervad, For example, an actual payment of $40.85 is reported as a payment made In the Interval of $40,00-40,99. Such a payment In this report Is regarded as a $4o payment. Table 1.— Oldf^age aeelstance: Dlatrlbuiiua of paYmente to recipients, NoTember 1942 State Total, 51 States. Alabama . Alaslca . .

These payments, however, are spread over a wide range of amounts as follows: Amount Percent of total payments $ 50.00-59.99 . 8.9 60.00-69.99 . 5.9 70.00-79.99 . 2.9 80.00-89.99 . 1.5 90.00-99.99 . .9 100.00 or more ------------ .9 Although other factors have doubtless influenced some of the payments, these larger amounts generally were paid to larger families. State Differences A national distribution is necessarily a compoeite of varied State dis¬ tributions but it obscures differences among States. State differences in payments are shown in charts 1-3. 1110 bar for each State represents the total range of payments, from the lowest to the highest. The shaded segment of the bar represents the interquartile range, that is, the middle half of the total range. One-fourth of the payments fall below and one-foiirth above the inter¬ quartile range. ^ The median, or middle payment, is marked off on the bar by the heavy vertical line. Hie variation in payment distributions among States is illustrated by comparison of the range, interquartile range, and median of payments in one State with those in another. States may make virtually the same range of payments but because of concentration of payments at one or several points the pattern within the range may vary considerably. For example, California made payments for old- age assistance ranging from $1 to $40, while the range in Mlesleslppl was from $4 to $40. In California, however, the middle half of the- range of pay¬ ments was from $36 to $40, with a median of $40, whereas in Mlesleeippi the interquartile range was from $7 to $10 and the median, $8 (chart 1). 17 - — - In a few States where there are great concentrations of payments at the maximum amount, no payments are above the median or upper quartile. - 7 - CHART I OLD-AGE ASSISTANCE; RANGE OF PAYMENTS, NOV.

This report is largely- devoted to dlBCueslon of factors which are at least partly responsible for these marked State differences. Additional Assistance in Certain States For four States the payments shown in tables and charts do not Include all assistance given under the special types of public assistance. In most instances -the amounts omitted could not readily be added to the regular payment in the annual report on amounts of assistance. Between 1 and 2 percent of the total payments for old-age assistance and aid to dependent children and a smaller proportion of the payments of aid to the blind are omitted. Although the additional payments represented a small fraction of the totals for these types of assistance in the United States, they were significant in the States in which such payments were made. In Missouri, a special legislative appropriation in December 19^2 per¬ mitted eiddltional payments of old-age assistance to restore assistance to 100 percent of the amount of established need for November and December. Eetroactlve. payments for November, averaging about $5.50^ were made to aged recipients still on the rolls in December. The amount paid retroactively added 4l percent to the total payments made in November in this State. About 85 percent of the families receiving aid to dependent children in Pen^ylvanla had milk orders in addition to money payments. The State agency estimated that the cash equivalent of these orders added more than 8 percent to the toted money payments. New York and Massachusetts made additional money payments because of emergency needs, usually medical. Massachusetts made such payments to about one-twelfth of the recipients of old-age assistance and to about one-eighth of the families receiving aid to dependent children; New York, to about Eank determined by the median (charts 1-3). Payments were unusually low in Texas because of a $10 cut in September, October, and November. Under new State policy, the reduction in payments was restored in December, but assistance was limited to families whose other resources did not meet as much as 30 percent of their requirements. This situation affected all data in this report for aid to dependent children in Texas. - 11 - one-seventh of the recipients of old-age assistance and about one-eighth of the recipients of aid to dependent children and of aid to the blind.

The average monthly payments reported in the Social Security Bulle'M.n include the additional payments for these States and Pennsylvania. 6/ Less than 0.05 percent. - 12 Changes Since November 19^0 Information on amounts of individual payments was first assembled in November 19^0. Between that date and November 19^2, prices and, in some States, revenues rose markedly* Assistance payments also were higher in November 1942. The median payment for the United States rose from $19 to $22 for old-age assistance, from $20 to $25 for aid to the blind, and from $29 to $50 per family receiving aid to dependent children. Median payments of old-age assistance increased in nearly all States; those for aid to the blind and aid to dependent children, in a majority of States.?/ In both old-age assistance and aid to the blind, the proportion of payments below $20 was smaller in November 1942 than in November 1940. The proportion at $50 or more Increased one-half for old-age assistance, and more than one-fifth for aid to the blind. In aid to dependent children, likewise, relatively more payments were made at higher amounts; the propor¬ tion at $50 or more was one -fifth above that in November 1940, in spite of a slight Increase in payments under $20. These comparisons for the United States do not reveal the full extent of the rise in the level of payments because of the effect of differences in the representation of individual States in the national case load. In some States the number of recipients increased; these were mostly States that made relatively low payments. Large declines in case loads, especially for aid to dependent children, occurred more often in States with high payments. During this period, therefore, many cases that had received relatively high payments were closed, whereas many of the new cases received relatively low payments. Only l8 States made payments for old-age assistance of as much as $40 in November 1940; the nvmber of such States had risen to 54 by November 1942. Thirty-one States made payments at $40 or more for aid to the blind in the latter month as compared with 18 States in the earlier month. Median payments in November 1942 were at least $5 higher than in November 1940 in the following States: Old-age assistance ; Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Washington. Aid to the blind: Arizona, Arkansas) Colorado, District of Columbia, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Washington. Aid to dependent children; California, District of Columbia, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, O^gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, West Virginia. - 13 - Regional Vprlatlone In Payment Levels The cost of living varies from one section of the coimtry to another. In part, because of variation In the cost of goods and services and in part because of climatic dlf f erences <, The need of Individuals varies with the cost of living and also with differences in consumption habits. Need also varies among areas with differences in general levels of income. Thus, individual need varies with geographic location. It would be extremely valuable to know to what extent these socio-economic factors influence need in specific geographic areas. While much work has been done in defining socio-economic regions, the present state of knowledge does not permit quantitative determination of the extent of regional differences in need. Any marked tendency for pajcnent levels to vary regionally could, however, be interpreted as resulting at least partly from regional differences in need. 1 Levels of assistance payments have usually been defined in terms of I the average assistance payment for the State and the relation of that figure ! to the national average. Since detedled information on payments is avall- j able, it seems advisable to broaden the definition beyond a single measure, j Consequently, States have been classified as making payments for each program 1 at one of three levels on the basis of the interquartile range and median of ; their payments, measures which disregard the extremely high and low payments, ! For convenience these levels have been designated as upper, middle, and lower. States have been classified according to the interval in which the quartlles ! and median fall. Class intervals were chosen arbitrarily, using the same limits for old-age assistance and aid to the blind. 8/ Because payments for aid to dependent children are reported in terms of amounts per family, different j intervale have been used for this program. 9/ States in which the quartlles and the median did not fall in the same level have been classified according to the level in which two of these three measures fell. 10/ Since the boundaries of I these levels wore chosen arbitrarily and the selection of different intervals I would result in a somewhat different grouping of States, these levels must be j regarded as relative and are so used in this report. ST - Class intervals used for old-age assistance and aid to the blind are as follows ; Level of payment Lower Middle Upper 2/ Class intervale used for aid Level of payment Lower Middle Upper sFlrst quartile ^10 or less 11 - 20 21 or more Median $15 or less 16 - 25 26 or more to dependent children are as First quartile Median $15 or lees $25 or less 16 - 50 26 - 40 51 or more ^1 or more Third quartile $20 or less 21 - 50 51 or more follows : Third quartile $55 or less 56 - 50 51 or more 10/ The States In which one measure fell at a level above that In which the State was classified are: Old-age assistance: Hawaii, Rhode Island Aid to the blind: Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota Aid to dependent children: Hawaii, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin A geographic dlstrihutlon of the relative levels of pajmente for old- age aaslstance la shown In chart 4. The area In which pegrments were made at the lower level Is largely confined to the Southern States, Delaware "being the chief exception. In contrast, payments made at the upper level were not confined primarily to contiguous States. Two "blocks of States In opposite parts of the country and some scattered States made payments at the upper level. Eight States In the West, two In the Middle West, and four In the East made payments at the higher level. Payments In the remaining States were at the middle level. Alaska made old-age assistance payments at the upper level; Hawaii, at the lower. With few exceptions, payments to the blind In all but one region were at the same general level as to the aged. The exceptions Include widely separated States — Louisiana, Oregon, and Hawaii; In these three jurisdictions, payments to the blind were at a higher level than to the aged. In the Middle West, fou-T States (Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota) made payments to the aged at the middle level and payments to the blind at the upper. One State In the Middle West, Ohio, made lowsr payments to the blind than to the aged (chart 5)* The majority of States, 2h out of hj, made payments for aid to depend¬ ent children at the middle level; 12 made them at the lower level and 11 at the upper level, as these levels arb defined for this program. The States with payments at the lower level form a contiguous block covering the South¬ east and part of the Southwest. Four Western States and six Atlantic States made payments at the upper level (chart 6), It Is possible to distinguish a few areas in which groups of States made payments at a common level. The solid block of Southern States, with lower-level payments, is the most clearly defined area. A lees well-defined area of upper-level payments is In the Far West, and a similar area appears In the Northeast. Payment levels for the rest of the Nation show little regional uniformity. Despite the areas mentioned, there would seem to be little justification, therefore, for positive conclusions regarding regional differences in need. - 15 - CHART 5 AID TO THE BLIND: RELATIVE LEVELS OF PAYMENTS. BY STATE. NOV. 1942 16 f NO STATE- FED ERA L PROOF A M 17 i I - 18 - Patterns of Need If putllc assistance is properly to achieve the objective established by an agency, the amounts of assistance paid to recipients should correspond to the amounts needed by them as determined by the application of the agency’s standards. Whether payments correspond to the amounts needed can be Judged by arraying the amoxmts of assistance needed by individual recipients in patterns corresponding to the distributions of assistance payments and by comparing the two patterns. Decision on the amount of assistance needed by a recipient involves the determination of his minimum requirements for maintaining health and self-respect, estimates of the cost of these requirements, and consideration of the resources that can be applied toward meeting these costs. In most agencies, the amount of assistance needed is determined by a visitor, who interviews the applicant or recipient and applies standards developed by the State agency to his individual situation to determine his "budget deficit," In Massachusetts, Information was compiled on the amounts of assist¬ ance needed for a sample of the old-age assistance case load. Similar material was prepared for all families receiving aid to dependent children in New Mexico, ll/ From these State data a chart was prepared to show the veirylng amounts of assistance needed by recipients in these two States as established by the assistance agencies (chart 7)* Such arrays of the amounts needed by the individual recipients or families provide a pattern of assist¬ ance needed, as contrasted with a pattern of assistance, obtained by arraying the amounts of payments. To maice the general outline of these patterns of need stand out clearly, a smoothed curve has been superimposed on each dis¬ tribution; for all practical purposes these curves may be regarded as the patterns of need established in the two States represented. Obviously patterns of need can be expected to differ from State to State, at least in range and detail because of some differences in the methods of determining need. Variations occur because of different standards for requirements and resources and because of differences in the cost of goods and services, the resources available to recipients, and the number of persons for whom an assistance payment is planned. 12/ State standards differ in the w The data on budget deficits in New Ifexico Include medical assistance when needed; those for Massachusetts Include the cost of certain types of medical care for chronic cases but exclude emergency medical €U5eistance. 12/ Information received from Texas for a sample comprising about 7 percent of the case load in September 1942 showed the following distribution of the amounts of budget deficits by $10 Intervals. Need for medical care wais Included in computing the budget deficits.

The range in the amounts of assistance needed and, presumably, the proportion of recipients with high amounts are greater where such requirements are recog¬ nized, The inclusion of requirements for medical care also widens the range of need and, in aid to dependent children, tends to obscure the differences between the requirements of families of different sizes. Ususilly only one member in a family requires costly medical care in any one month, and such costs for a one-child family frequently equal the subsistence costs for a larger family. As shown by the distributions for the two States in chart 1 , rela¬ tively few persons in these States were found to need the same amounts of assistance. In New Mexico, where budget deficits of the families receiving aid to dependent children were determined in amounts that ranged from $6 to $l66, only 2 families In 100 needed the same amount. In Massachusetts the amoimt of old-age assistance needed by recipients was established in amounts ranging from $1 to $82, with hardly more than 7 recipients in 100 needing the same amount. These distributions also show that the need of relatively few recipients was established at very small or very large amounts. Recip¬ ients with small amounts of need ai’e chiefly those whose resources nearly . equal their requirements. Those needing greatest amounts of assistance are recipients with unusual requirements and with small or no resources other than assistance. These two characteristics of the patterns of need — a wide range of amounts of assistance needed with few recipients needing the same amounts, and a relatively small proportion of persons in need of very small or very large amounts — can be regarded as common to all States, From this limited point of view, the patterns for Massachusetts and New Mexico can be regarded as illustrative of State patterns of need in general. Just as State differences in the detail of the pattern of need can be expected, so it can be anticipated that the patterns will differ for the various programs. In aid to dependent children, assistance is planned for families of varying sizes; the resulting distribution of amounts of assist¬ ance needed is significantly different from that in old-age assistance, as can be seen by a comparison of the two curves in chart 7. The general pattern of assistance needed for aid to the blind, however, can be assumed to be rather similar to that for old-age assistance, except that the major part of the distribution would probably fall at somewhat higher amounts in aid to the blind. Because seldom more than one member of a family receives aid to the blind, the requirements of an individual more often include the total cost of such household items as rent and fuel, which, in old-age assistance, is frequently divided between two recipients. - 21 Relationship Between Patterns of Agslstance axd of Need In a few States the dlstrihutlons of the amounts of pajinents for November 1942 form patterns vhich are generally similar to the smoothed curves shovn in the Illustrative patterns of need. In most States, how¬ ever, the distributions of payments, or assistance patterns, differ sig¬ nificantly from the Illustrative patteras of need. The nature of this divergence can be seen from a description of the types of assistance pat¬ terns, several of which are shown in chart 8, Type A represents an assist¬ ance pattern that conforms generally to the illustrative pattern of need for old-age assistance shown in chart 7. In some States, part of the pay¬ ments are distributed as in type A, but the range is suddenly cut off and the remainder of the payments pile up at the highest dollar amount (type B). The distributions in certain other States follow this pattern except for the fact that a few payments exceed the amount which seems to have cut short the general distribution (type C), In still other States, all payments are concentrated at a few low amounts, or most are concentrated at relatively high amounts (types D and E). The distributions in some States are characterized by clusters of payments at amounts which vary from State to State but are frequently in multiples of $5 or $10. Especially in patterns for aid to dependent children, clustering is likely to occur at the amounts of the Federal matching maximums, even in States which permit payments at any amount needed (type F). Relatively few State assistance patterns in November 1942 exhibited general conformity to the illustrative patterns of need. Obviously other factors as well as need frequently Influence amounts of payments. Whether a State’s assistance pattern is of one or another of the types described depends only in part on the need of recipients; often it depends more on the legislative and administrative policies of the State. and of the Federal Government, the fiscal ability of the State and local units, and on the public concept of the purpose of the program. - 22 - CHART 8 TYPES OF ASSISTANCE PATTERNS PERCENT - 23 - Heasong for rifferencee In Patterns Information available at the present time is not sufficiently detailed to explain fully the differences "between the distrihutlon of need and of assistance. Only the more obvious factors influencing the size of payments can be discuBsed. Administrative Standards Reflected in Assistance Patterns In the States in which the even gradation of payments at successive dollar amounts is interrupted by concentrations at multiples of $5 and $10, need is apparently determined less exactly than by dollar laterals for a considerable number of recipients, or payments are made at multiples of p desuite more exact determination of need. A comparison p as^stance pat- ter^is in 19U2 with those in 19^0 shows progress in a number of Statp toward more evenly graduated distributions of payments as pe of need has become more Individualized. Concentrations at other inte^^e^e nrohably determined, as was suggested for the distributions of establlshe Led, the general application of specific State standards without ^ch adjustment to Individual situations. Both these deviations from smooth distributions represent approximate, rather than close, oonfo^ty o pay ments to established need, but they present less serious problems for recipients than certain other assistance patterns. State ivlaxifflums Few State patcems of assistance showed as wide a r^e as the Illus¬ trative patterns of need In chart 7. The pattern of need for ance shoL that nearly three-fifths of the recipients in more than $30 per month, over one-fifth needed more th^ $1*0, md 1 recipient In 25 needed mLe than $50. Although the proportion of payments needed ac iLL or higher amounts can be expected to differ In LveLLless,^Sate laws or policies limit the monthly payment, thus cutting off the range permitted. In November 19U2, the maximum old-age assistance $45 a iLrin 2 StaLs $40 In 23 States, $30 In 15 States, $^ In 3 States, Ld $20 in 2 States. State maxlmums l^^ed parents of ^d ^^he blind cal care; somewhat lower maxlmums anplled to most recipient- ag aaslstance and aid to the blind (taolee 4 and 5).

Of the 28 States with some type of maximum for aid to dependent children In November 19^2, 17 limited pay¬ ments for the first child to $l8 per month even though the payments In a one -child family often must provide for expenses of maintaining the home and for the requirements of the mother or other supervising adult. Maxlmums for the first child In the other States ranged from $10 In Mississippi to $56,95 In the counties In which prices were highest In Pennsylvania. Maxlmums for each additional child ranged from $6 In the District of Columbia to $15 In Minnesota, In the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania, however, a higher maximum was provided for families In which two parents were In the home. Five States limit the application of the Increases In payments for the largest families by prescribing a family maximum. This was set at $65 In North Carolina, $60 in the District of Columbia and Missouri, $30 in Arkansas, and $24 in Texas (table 6). The District of Columbia was the only Jurisdiction with maxlmums for both old-age assistance and aid to dependent children which permitted as large a payment to a mother and one child as to one aged person. Arbitrary limits for payments of old-age assistance and aid to the blind cut off the range of payments and often result in the accumulation of many payments at the highest amount permitted. Assistance patterns for aid to dependent children In most of the States with maxlmums show very marked clustering of payments at the several maxlmums for families with specified numbers of children. The fact that a State places a maximum on payments Is not In itself evidence that such a raaxlinum restricts payments significantly. The number of recipients affected by maxlmums depends on the extent of Individual need In a State, the amoimts of the maxlmums, the ability and willingness of the State and local agencies to provide payments up to the prescribed limits, and on legal provisions discussed In the following section. Because maxlmums are generally higher for old-age assistance and aid to the blind than for aid to dependent children, they affect smaller proportions of payments In most States. Although most States had a maximum and some had. In addition, a higher maximum for recipients with exceptional needs, only about one-tenth of all payments' of old-age assistance In the United States and only one -fifth of those for aid to the blind were at either maximum. In contrast, more than 28 percent of the payments of aid to dependent children in the 46 States for which information is available were at the prescribed limits, even though only 27 of these States had limits. In 26 of these 27 States, 45 percent of the payments for aid to dependent children were at maximum amounts, 14/ In aid to dependent children, payments at the maximum are most com¬ mon for families with only one or two eligible children, and least common for the largest families. Families with one or two children, however, W ^ Texas made no payments at maximum amounts In November because of a $10 cut In payments. In the following month more than 98 percent of all payments were at maximum amoiints. 27 - T«bl« 6. --Aid to dependant children: PaTBante In relation to State naxlBnaa, hoTenher 19^ State Total, U6 States Total, 27 States with Baxlnnas ^ .

Although maximums for old-age assistance constitute a serious bar to meeting the need of some recipients, the proportion of pay¬ ments affected in the Nation is relatively small. In aid to the blind, maximums create a somewhat greater problem, and in aid to dependent chil¬ dren they restrict payments seriously in many States. Evidence of the inadequaoles of maximum payments of aid to depend¬ ent children is supplied by sample studies made by the State agencies in Nebraska and Minnesota, which show the difference between payments £uid the amounts of established need in the families receiving maximum payments in a month late in 19^2. In this month six-sevenths of all families aided in Nebraska and two-thirds of all families aided in Minnesota received maxi¬ mum amounts. The maximums in Nebraska were identical with the maximums for Federal matching; those in Minnesota were $20 and $15, higher than the Federal maximums by $2 for one -child families and higher by $5 for each additional child. Maximum payments were found to be too small to meet need 6ie established by the agency for more than 88 percent of the families receiving these amoimts in Nebraska and for more than 85 percent of such families in Minnesota. The average amount of need not met by the maximum payments in the families for whom such payments were insufficient was nearly $l8 in Nebraska and nearly $15 in Minnesota. The proportion of to'cri need cut off by maximum payments was noticeably larger in one -child f-imllies than in other families in both States. In Minnesota the average amount of unmet need in one -child families was $19.80 in the urban areas of the sample, and $11,10 in the rural areas. The average assistance needed and received by the families in which maximum payments failed to meet established need and the percent of need met by these payments were as follows for the families with one to four children in the samples studied I Neb r a s k a M i n n e s c 5 t a Number of Average Percent Average Percent eligible amount of Amount of need amount of Amount of need children need estab¬ of met by need estab¬ of met by in family lished payment payment lished payment payment 1 - - $53.96 $18.00 53.0 $33.92 $20.00 59.0 2 - - **7.30 30.00 63.4 51.40 35.00 68.1 3 - - 61.10 42.00 68.6 66.50 50.00 75.2 4 - - 7k M 54.00 72.1 81.00 65.00 80.2 It is apjjarent that maximums 1 for aid to dependent children often preclude adequate provision for the needs of the supervising adult and for maintaining the home. Such requirements are a major part of total need in a one-child family but a smaller proportion in larger families where house¬ hold expenses are spread over a larger number of children. In 19^5 the legislature partly remedied the situation in Minnesota by Increasing the maximum for the first child in a family from $20 to $25, - 29 - Majclmume for any type of aseietance preclude payments commensurate with need for recipients with unusxial requirements and with least oppor¬ tunity to meet their requirements through other resources. Experience has J convinced many agencies and State legislatures that more flexible provi- 1 ' slons are necessary, particularly If recipients are to he enabled to pay for medical services. Maxlmiims have been raised in many States, deleted in some, and adjusted In others. Adjustments In maximum payments commonly pro¬ vide a higher maximum or none at all for cases of exceptional need. Some type of adjustment of the maximum was permitted for old-age assistance in eight States, for aid to the blind In six States, and for aid to dependent children in one State (Indiana) in November (tables 4-6) Many States have recognized the Impossibility of meeting the need of families under maximums prescribed in terms of the number of eligible chil¬ dren. In ' ‘November 1942, 19 States Imposed no limits for payments of aid to dependent children; 2 of these States (Alabama and Cslifomia) limited the amounts that the State would match but encoiiraged counties to make payments to meet total need. The Inflexibility of maximums prevents Increases In the payments already at these limits when the need of the recipient Increases. The relatively small increase in median payments for aid to dependent children from November 1940 to November 1942 Is explained in part by the fact that so many 1940 payments were at highest amounts permitted. Legally Defined Levels of Living Instead of limiting payments by prescribing maximums, legislatures In I six States have attempted to guarantee a specific amount of total Income to I all recipients of old-age assistance and .sometimes of aid to the blind. These States are Cellfomla, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, Utah, and Vashlngton. Two distinct methods of computation are used to achieve this I result. One Is to provide a precise total which the sum of assistance and other Income must meet; the other, to provide a minimum amount below which the sum of assistance and other Income must not fall. This underwriting of specific amounts of Income plus assistance explains the high level of pay¬ ments of old-age assistance and aid to the blind in these six States (charts j 4 and 5). The amounts prescribed and the specific provisions varied in these States and resiilted In quite different patterns of assistance in November 1942. For old-age assistance, Colorado prescribed that Income plus assist¬ ance should be $45 for all recipients. Washington set this total at $40; Nevada, at not less than $50 and not more than $40. California and Utah set ^0 and $30, respectively, but provided for certain exceptions. At least $40 In Income plus aseietance was guaranteed to all recipients in California, but Income plus assistance could exceed this amount for recip¬ ients with requirements In excess of $40 who also had Income other than as si stance. 15/ At least $50 In income plus assistance was guaranteed to all recipients In Utah, but recipients with certain types of larger requirements California also initiated a plan In November 1942 under which recipients could elect to have their payments determined by the budget -deficit method. Payments to some 5,000 recipients, 5 percent of the case load, were so determined in this month. - 30 - were not limited to this amount (table ^4-), Massachusetts was the only one oT these States to prescribe no maximum for any aged recipient. This State pro¬ vided a minimum of in Income plus eissistance for each recipient living alone and $30 for those living in family groups, of more than two per sons. 16/ Requirements greater than these amounts are recognized and, when not met by other resources, are met by assistance. Provisions for aid to the blind in California and Washington were similar to the provisions for old-age assistance in these States, but California prescribed $50 in income plus assistance for the blind. Uniform amounts for income plus assistance assume that the require¬ ments of all recipients are equal in amount. In the States with such provi¬ sions, the income of individual recipients is determined, but individual requirements are not usually determined. Total income for some recipients with low requirements, therefore, may be larger than it would be if actual need were determined. On the other hand, uniform' totals for Income plus assistance make it Impossible to meet the need of recipients with excep¬ tionally large requirements just as do other types of maximums.Thle difficulty was met for some, but not for all, recipients by the exceptions to the uniform amounts for income plus assistance provided in California and Utah (tables 4 and 5) >17/ In the six States under discussion, the method of determining payments as a total of income plus assistance tends to make more payments cluster at the prescribed amounts than at the maximums in States prescribing other types of limits. In California, nearly 64 percent of the payments for old-age . assistance were at $40 in November, and nearly 70 percent of payments of aid to the blind were at $50. In Washington, about 39 percent of payments of old-age assistance and 58 percent of those for aid to the blind were at $40. Half the payments for old-age assistance in Utah were at $30. In Colorado, the yield of taxes earmarked for old-age assistance has been Inadequate in most months to provide the specified total of $45 for Income plus assistance. Fluctuations in these revenues require^ varying deductions from this total from month to month. In November 1942 the deduction was $1, and 46.5 percent of the payments were at $44. In Nevada, where the total for income plus assistance could vary from $30 to $40 according to individual circumstances, about 13 percent of the payments were at $30 and more than 60 percent were higher. The absence of any State maximums in Massachusetts permits flexi¬ bility in meeting unusual need and in adjusting for rising living costs. Some of the local unitd, however, prescribe maximums. In this State, 30 per¬ cent of the assistance payments, excluding the additional payments made because of medical or other exceptional needs were at the $40 set as a mini¬ mum for Income plus assistance, and 9 percent were more than $4o. W ^ $65 for a man and wife alone, $50 if they lived in a larger household group, ii/ After November 1942, Washington provided for determining payments on the basis of individual requirements and resources within the limitation of the $40 State maximum. - 51 - The six States with legislative guarantees of specific amounts In Income plus assistance were among the 10 States with the highest payments for old-age assistance In November 1942.3^ Four of these six States — those which did not limit their payments for aid to dependent children by maxlmums (California, Massachusetts, Utah, and Washington) also ranked among the ten States with highest levels of payments for aid to dependent children. These States relied on administrative standards and procedures, rather than on a specific legislative guarantee, for determining the amounts of payments In the latter program. The provision of a reasonably high level of living for recipients of assistance does not necessarily depend, therefore, on legislative guarantees of a specific amount of Income. It can be achieved by appropriate standards and procedures. If sufficient funds are available and payments are not limited arbitrarily. Inadequacy of State Funds Another factor responsible for some of the lack of conformity between assistance and need patterns is that the funds of some State agencies are sufficient to make payments only at the level described as the lower In the accompanying charts. The Insufficiency of the funds may result from the failure of the State legislature to provide adequate funds or may be due to the low fiscal, capacity of the State, The extent to which limited State fiscal capacity Is responsible for Insufficient assistance funds is difficult to establish. It can be shown, however, that nearly all the States making payments at the lower level (charts 4-6) are States that rank low in fiscal capacity. To Indicate relative flscaJL capacity, per capita income of the States is used as an Index. In 1942, per capita Income for the United States was $852. Per capita income In the lowest third of the States, ranked according to amount of such Income, Is shown below: Vermont ----- $698 North Carolina - - $525 Virginia - 697 Arkansas - 514 Texas ------ 677 Georgia ----- 498 Florida ----- 655 Tennessee - - - - 492 niri whorrift _ - - - 598 Alabama ----- 480 West Virginia - - 598 Kentucky - 477 New Mexico - 558 South Carolina - - 459 Louisiana - - - - 554 Mississippi - - - 407 Only three States that made lower-level payments In November 1942 in one or more programs fail to appear among this group of States with low fiscal capacity; these States are Delaware, Missouri, 19/ and South Dakota. On the other hand, three States In the low per capita Income group made payments at a higher level for all programs — Vermont, West Virginia, and New Mexico. W i2/ As measured by the median payment (chart 1). Level based on payments made In November 1942, If retroactive payments made In December 1942 had been Included, Missouri would have been shown as making payments for old-age assistance at the middle level. - 32 - In general, therefore, the States that made low payments are those with the lowest per capita indome. This finding is in a^eement with other studies of the relationship "between average payments and per capita income. While a relationship "between the size of payments and fiscal capac¬ ity is not conclusive proof that fiscal capacity determines the level of • payments, it is unlikely that this relationship is due to chance. Other factors, however, often combine to offset this effect of limited fiscal capacity. Important among these other factors are the measure of fiscal effort exerted to provide adequate funds and the choice between accepting many applicants for low payments or restricting the case load in order to give higher payments. States with insufficient funds have adopted a variety of methods for limiting individual payments in order to keep within available fimds. Some State legislatures have accomplished this end by eetsblishlng espe¬ cially low maximums on individual payments. In other States the method is left to the administrative agency. Some agencies set administrative maximums. Others limit payments by excluding from standards for require¬ ments some of the needs of recipients that are considered in other States, or restrict the amounts that can be Included for specific requirements. Still other States determine the amount of assistance needed on the basis of reasonably comprehensive requirements but restrict the payment to a specified proportion of the established need. Still another method is to make a uniform reduction in payments. One or more of these methods of- reducing assistance when funds are Insufficient to meet need was in opera¬ tion in all the State programs under which payments were lowest. Similar practices were in effect also in some of the other States, although, in general, they resulted in l^ss drastic reductions in assistance. Federal Matching Provisions Even though Federal financial participation has resulted in generally higher payments in the States which had programs for assisting the needy- aged, blind, and dependent children before the peissage of the Social Security Act, nevertheless the provisions for Federal matching are partly responsible for much of the Inadequacy of current payments. The act, as amended in 1939# provides that the Federal Government shall pay one -half of the payments made in conformity with the act up to a total of $40 per month for old-age assistance and aid to the blind, and to a total of $l8 for the first child and $12 for each additional child for aid to dependent children. Both the equal -matching provision and the maximum amounts that may be matched by -the Federal Government have tended to limit the amounts of payments. Although the matching maximums do not limit the payments States may make, they have had a marked Influence on the amounts set as State maximums, as is evident from the frequency of these amounts among State maximums shown in tables 4-6, Even in States with higher maximums or no maximums, payments are sometimes restricted to the amounts for which Federal matching is avsdl- able. About 9 percent of all payments of old-age assistance, about 5*5 percent of those for aid to the blind, and about 20 percent of -those for aid to dependent children in November 1942 were at the maximums for Federal matching (charts 9-11). More than one -third of the payments for aid to dependent children in 15 States and more than two-thirds in 7 States were at these limits. - 33 CHAf^T 9 OLD-AGE ASSISTANCE: PAYMENTS IN RELATION TO FEDERAL MATCHING MAXIMUM, NOV.

Eleven States made some payments to the aged, and the same number some payments to the blind, in excess of Federal maxinrums. TVenty-five States made such payments for aid to dependent children. In these States nearly .two -third of the payments exceeded the Federeil matching limits in contrast to only one -tenth of the payments for the aged in those States which made payments in excess of $40, California’s $50 payments largely account for the 38 percent of the pay¬ ments of aid to the blind in excess of the Federal maximums in the States that made such payments. Federal Tnaxintums were exceeded in 73 percent of all payments to one -child families in the States that do not limit assist¬ ance to the Federal matching maximums (chert 12).

In the second half of 1942, the Federal Government contributed 99 cents for each dollar spent by State and local units for old-age assistance in all States, 92 cents for each dollar spent for aid to the blind, and only 67 cents for aid to dependent children. The relatively small Federal share for aid to dependent children indicates the extent to which some States have met need in excess of the Federal matching maximums. Under an equal-matching percentage the Federal Government cannot contribute more, although it maj contribute less, than the State is both willing and able to provide. In November 1942 the Federal Government con¬ tributed less than $10 per recipient for each of the three types of assist¬ ance in Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, but more than $15 per recipient of each type in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Washington. In general. Federal expenditures per recipient were lowest in the States that were least able to finance adequate assist* ance. For example, in only 2 of the 15 States with high per capita income did the Federal contribution to payments of old-age assistance average less than $10 per recipient. In only 1 of the 16 States with the lowest per capita income was the Federal share as much as $10 (table 7)* 2o7 The New Mexico State agenqr estimated that 72 percent of all families receiving aid to dependent children in November 1941 needed more than the maximums for Federal matching.

The categorical approach to assistance has resulted in a division of public responsibility for needy people among various funds and often among different agencies* The part each plays and the adequacy of the total assistance received by needy individuals and families differ from State to State and community to i community. The variety of plans for meeting the requirements of recipients of assistance is illustrated by the numerous arrangements for medic€il aid. Many j agencies administering the special types of public assistance include small ; amounts for predictable health needs among the requirements of recipients. ! Some agencies also provide for emergency medical care by increasing payments i when the need arises. Such Increases are often distributed over several j months to avoid exceeding the State maximums or the Federal matching limits. ' Instead of meeting medical needs through payments to recipients, a few States |i permit agencies to make payments directly to physicians and hospitals from I appropriations for the special types of public assistance. In the Jurlsdlc- ; tlons which have no provisions for financing medical assistance throtigh such I funds, recipients must depend upon other uneven provisions in their respec¬ tive communities. In many States, most of the cost of medical services received by recipients is financed from general assistance funds. Sometimes Inadequate payments for old-age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind are eked out by simultaneous payments of genered assistance. Such supplementary payments may be made, for example, to families whose aid for dependent children is limited by the maximum, or may be made to other members of the families of aged or blind recipients. General asslLtance, however, is not avedlable in all communities and is extremely limited in many other communities. In more than one-fouj^h of the States, local governmental units carry full financial responsibility for general assistance, and in nearly half the States local funds accounted for more than two-thirde of the expenditures for this program in 19^2, Fre¬ quently general assistance is not provided in many of the Jurisdictions that make the lowest payments for the special types of public assistance. The studies of families ixi Nebraska and Minnesota receiving maximum payments for aid to dependent children included an inquiry into the number receiving general assistance, Nebrax^a reported that about 7«5 percent of the families included in the study received such additional assistance in amounts averaging $10.20 a month per family. The Minnesota study found that in the urban counties studied approximately 55 percent of the need not met by aid to dependent children was met by genered assistance; in the rural counties, genersd assistance met only about 26 percent of such need. - 1^0 - In 11 of 15 other States for which Information is available, 21/ lees than 5 percent of the families receiving aid to dependent children in September or October 19^2 also received general assistance. In South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, and Illinois, this percentage ranged from 8 to 39. Although the majority of families aided in these states had some cash Income other than public aid, half the families in Arkansas had less than $26 per month and half the faznilles in Missouri, less than $35 In total cash Income, including both assistance and other resources. Despite the exceptionally high living costs in the District of Columbia, the total cash Income of half the families receiving aid to dependent children was less than $57 pen month. Many recipients supplemented their assistance payments in November 1942 through participation in the food stamp plan or in the plan for direct distribution of certedn commodities. These provisions, which were not to be considered in determining the amounts of assistance payments, made avail¬ able, under certain conditions, foods currently declared by the U.S. Depart¬ ment of Agriculture to be surplus fam products. Information for 40 States shows that in December 1942 more than half of all families receiving aid to dependent children in these States, but a considerably smaller proportion of recipients of old-age assistance and aid to the blind, received such food though one of these plans. The average value of the food received through free stamps was nearly $6 for recipients of old-age assistance, more then $7 for recipients of aid to the blind, and more than $12 per family for recip¬ ients of aid to dependent children. By the end of 1942 some of the surplus foods available for purchase through the stamp plan were not available through direct distribution. In some Individual situations, provisions for additional assistance compensate for Inadequate payments made under the three special types of assistance. V/here the general level of such .payments is low, however, addi¬ tional assistance is not generally available. In spite of additional provi¬ sions for assistance in some places, payments frequently fall to meet the need of recipients. Often the problem of Inadequate assistance remains, despite piecemeal attempts on the part of States to meet need through two or even more programs. liirouj^ a study of the characteristics of the families receiving edd to dependent children. The 11 States are: Arkansas, District of Columbia, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah. West Virginia, and Wisconsin. In Arkansas, District of Columbia, Oklahomn, and Uteih, less than 1 percent of the families in the aid to aepenoent children case load received both types of assistcmce. - 41 - Conclusion Since State programs for the special types of public assistance operate under varying laws, policies, and procedures, differences In pay¬ ments from State to State are Inevitable. It is Impossible to trace the Influence of ell differences In law or policy, but certain factors are obvious . Insufficiency of funds, resulting from either low fiscal capacity or lack of public support as expressed through appropriations, or a combina¬ tion of both. Is a basic cause of Inadequate payments. Insufficiency of funds frequently leads to the establishment of State maximums as a conven¬ ient administrative or legal device for controlling total expenditures. Behind the maximums in one State may lie the inability of the State to finance assistance at a hl^er level; in another State, the maximum may -reflect public attitudes toward assistance. The historical development of the programs also has Influence; the limits on the extent of Federal participation in the Social Security Act have served as a model which most States have followed by Incorporating similar limits In their own laws. Many of these States have found it difficult to depart from the precedent of maximums on payments, once established. The basis of Federal reimbursement to States for assistance payments established by the Social Security Act has also served indirectly to Influence the size of payments in that it disregards the relative fiscal capacities of the States. In effect, therefore, the amount of Federal funds made available to States for assistance is determined in relation not to the need of recipients but to the funds which the States are able and willing to provide for these programs. It is evident that both Federal and State factors have Influenced the general level of payments. Where payments have failed to meet need, the failure should be regarded not solely as the product of State operation but also as the effect of legislation, governing Federal participation. The pro¬ vision of special Federal aid to States with low fiscal capacity, which has been recommended by many different groups and organizations, and the elimi¬ nation of Federal matching maximums, especially for aid to dependent chil¬ dren, would go far toward overcoming the handicaps imposed by the Federal Act. These changes would enable the States to remove their maximums and to give assistance more nearly in accord with the need of recipients. ^ IWSi - .: ,iOsji to ; CifftJ'cit i;'3'5^t5 -’f Bbm: ;.r' : !70*ile, if a monthly payment of ^30 is to be given to a family including four eligible children, the State can* comply with the provisions of its plan and receive full Federal matching of the pajnnent by certifying only two of the children. Another practice which results in approval of fewer than the total number of children actually aided is the failure to certify children born l/ or returned from foster care after approval of the family’s application for aid. Failure to certify such a child does not always deprive the family of addi¬ tional assistance because a few States have a limit on the total payment to a family which would present an increase in the payment to some families even though another dependent child is added to the family group. Since the plans of 6 States participating in the study provide for assistance only to age l6, children under and over that age are considered separately in the folidwing discussion. Children Under 16 Years Not Approved Missoiiri is the only State which prescribed school attendance as a con¬ dition of eligibility for children Ih and l5 years of age. The ADC families in all States contained other children under age l6 who, for various reasons, were ineligible for aid to dependent children. For example, some children in ADC families are self-supporting; some children approved for aid are not living with a parent, but in the home of another relative who is able to support his own children; and, in a few instances, the family may consist of an ADC unit sharing a common income with a group of self-supporting persons, including children who do not need aid. Consequently, a small number of 1/ None of the approved children were born after family's application in 8 - “ States, less than 1 percent in 3 States, and from 1.2 to 3.7 percent in U States. - 15 - - 16 - children of eligible age who have not been approved for aid would normally be expected in families receiving aid to dependent children. The disparity among the States in the proportion not approved indicates, however, that in some States a considerable number of children of eligible age have failed to be approved for reasons other than those mentioned above. In the families receiv¬ ing aid in the 16 States, alii»st 9 percent of the children under l6 years had not been approved for assistance. In North Carolina almost 20 percent had not been approved for aid, but in Massachusetts only a little more than 2 percent.

Of these, ^UO children, most of them lU and 15 years old, were not attending school and were working. Some of these children may have been self-supporting. As shown above, relatively more nonwhite children than white children in each age group were not approved. These differences may be explained partly by the greater difficulties in establishing the eligibility of nonwhite chil¬ dren; the required evidence of age or relationship to the payee is sometimes not easily obtainable. Failure to approve very many children cannot be attributed to this fact, however, because the proportion of white children not approved, especially in the group aged less than 6 years, also was high. The percent of white and of nonwhite children under age 16 who were not approved for aid is shown for each State in chart IV. Chart IV. — White* and nonwhite children under age l6 not approved for aid, ADC fanilies, for l6 States, October 19U2 PERCENT OF CHILDREN 0 10 20 30 * Includes, In 10 States, some children of nonwhite races other than Negro. ’-The families represented by such children constitute less than 1 percent of the ADC families In 8 States and approxi¬ mately 2 percent In tne other 2 States. When the eligibility of some children has been established, aid for them should not be delayed if it is apparent that establishing eligibility for other children in the family will require considerable time. On the other hand, the practice of determining eligibility for some but not aU children whose eligibility can be determined promptly, while saving the worker's time, has serious disadvantages. Ihe practice of not approving all children for aid does not at the time directly affect the f^lies receiving - 18 - aid, if it can be assumed' that the payment to the family would be the same no matter how many more children were approved. Failure to certify all the eligible children in ADC families is eventually detrimental to the fainilies, however, because it may conceal tlie inadequacies of the prograun and may hamper intelligent administrative planning and legislative action. Ihe State may not know the total number of needy children in families receiving aid to dependent children or the total amount of funds required to finance the program in accordance with State standards. The recipient rate for children and the average payment per child cannot be compared validly with those in other States. liYhile the average payment per child does not take into account many factors pertinent to a consideration of adequacy, it is useful as a rough meas'ure of the relative level of assistance among localities and States and is frequently used in demonstrating to legislatures the need for additional funds for assistance. It is estimated that the families receiving aid to dependent children in 5 States (North Carolina, Oklahoma, nest Virginia, Louisiana, and Missouri) contained an aggregate of more than 9,000 eligible children under 16 years who were not approved for aid. k/ Children 16-17 Years Not Approved More than half of all children aged 16-1? in the families receiving aid to dependent children in the 16 States had not been approved for aid. In the 10 States that set the age limit at 18 years or above, more than one-third of the children 16-17 years had not been approved for aid. The proportion of nonwhite children 16-17 years who had not been approved was only slightly higher than the proportion of white children. In the 10 States vdiich’ gave aid to children until age 18, the percent of children 16-17 years in ADC families who were not approved for aid, by race, was as follows: Total Vjhite 5/ Nonwhite Ibtal, 10 States 36.7 36.2 38.9 North Carolina . 63o 62.6 66.2 ViJest Virginia . 51.2 52.2 39.7 Arkansas .

This allow¬ ance is generous, since two other States with less than 6 percent of the children under 16 years not approved found upon investigation that some of the children not approved were eligible, and since in ^ States k percent or less of' the children under l6 years were not approved for aid. 5/ See footnote 9, page 8. - 19 - ,3^t- is not surprising that even in the States that have an age limit of 18 years a higher proportion of children were not approved among those I6-I7 years than in younger age groups, since relatively more of these children are self-supporting or are ineligible for aid because they are not attending school. Of the 11,800 children aged I6-I7 not approved for aid in these 10 States, 2,U00 or 20 percent were attending school. Nineteen percent of the not approved white children were attending school, in contrast to 26 percent of the nonwhite children. A child was considered as attending school even though because of illness, vacation, or other reason, he was not in school during the month of the study, if he was enrolled and expected to return, llie proportion of children I6-I7 years who h^ not been approved for aid, according to school attendance status, is shoim for each of the 10 States in chart V.

School attendance was eligibility requirement for this age group In all 10 States, exceot Wisconsin. t x* 'al. TWO factors doubtless partially responsible for lack of approval of the children 16-17 years who were in school are the relatively greater difficulty of proving age of older children and the necessity of determining school attendance. In the States which approve fewer than the total number of chil¬ dren for whom the assistance payment is intended, there may be a tendency in some cases to approve younger rather than older children. In the 10 States that aid children 16-17 years of age if they are attend¬ ing school, 80 percent of the children of this age not approved for aid, or approximately 9,U00 children, were not in school. Eighty-one percent of the white children, in contrast to only Ik percent of the nonwhite children, were not in school. Presumably, most of these children would be eligible for aid if they were in school. - 20 - Lack of appropriate school facilities, particularly in rural areas, undoubtedly prevented some of these children from continuing their education. Furthermore, where schools were available, some ADC families may not have been able to afford the additional expense involved in the children's school attendance. In view of the increased job opportunities for children aged l6 and 17 in the autumn of 19h2, it is surprising that more than half of the children 16-17 years who were not* attending school were also not working. Children reported as working, however, do not include those who were engaged in work which was part of a family enterprise, such as a store operated by the family or a farm. •Die requirement of school attendance in the Social Security Act was adopted on the assun^tion that children l6 and 17 years of age could choose between working or going to school and that the availability of assistance would encourage them to stay in school. The Social Security Board has recom¬ mended the deletion of the school attendance clause, since it is apparent that assistance must be denied certain needy children under the age of 18 who can neither attend school nor work. V. RELA.TIVES WITH WHOM CHILDREN WERE LIVING Although the Social Security Act provides for Federal participation in payments to children living with specified relatives other than parents the great majority of children receiving aid are living with parents. Of every 100 families aided in the 16 States in the fall of 19U2, 90 had one or both parents in the home (the mother only in 69, both parents in 19, and the father only in 2) and 10 comprised children who were living in the homes of other relatives . In this report a child is considered to be living with a parent if that parent was in the home. 1/ A child living vfith his mother and stepfather or father and stepmother is classified as living with both parents. A child living with a stepparent, if no natural parent was in the home, is classified as living with a parent. Ihe children were living with a stepparent in rela¬ tively few families, lU in every 1,000 — 12 with mother and stepfather, 1 with father and stepmother, and 1 with a stepparent with no natural parent in the home. The small proportion of families in which the children were living with the father only and the range among States in the proportion of such families (from 0.3 percent in the District of Columbia to 3.2 percent in Oklahoma) raises a question whether families deprived of the® support or care of the mother are being assisted by some States in numbers proportionate to the need of this group. The 16 States vary greatly in the proportion of families in which chil¬ dren were living with father or mother or a relative in loco parentis. The States having the lowest and highest percent of families in which children were living with specified relative yieve as follows: 2/ Lowest Highest Mother only . 36.8 (La.) Q2,h (D.C.) Both parents . 9.7 (Ill.) 33.0 (W.Va.) Father only . .3 (D.C.) 3-2 (Okla.) Other relatives... 6.0 (S.Dak.) 13.2 (Nebr.) Chart VI shows, for each State, the proportion of families in which chil¬ dren were living with one parent, both parents, or neither parent. Certain factors which account for some of these differences among States will be con¬ sidered in the discussion of reasons for dependency. V^Tiile the number of children receiving aid was 2.U per family, the average for families in which the children were living with both parents was 3.1; with mother only, 2,3; with father only, 2.U; and with other 1/ In some instances, even though a parent is in the home, another relative receives the payment and is looked upon by the agency as the supervising relative. Ihe relative to whom the payment was made is discussed later. £/ See appendix table l6. - 21 - - 22 - Chart VI. — Relative with whom children receiving aid were living, ADC families, for 16 States, October 19ii.2 .

Because of these differences in the average number of chil¬ dren, the percentage distribution of children according to the relative with whom they were living differs from the corresponding distribution of families as follows : Percent of families in Relative with whom which children were living Percent of children living child was living with specified relatives with specified relative Mother . 69.2 66.6 Both parents . 19. 6 2^.1 Neither parent.... 9.6 6.6 Father . 1.6 1*7 Of every 20 homes in which neither parent was present, 12 were maintained by a grandparent of the children receiving aid, 5 by an aunt or uncle, 2 by a brother or sister, and 1 by other relatives. The percentage distribution of families with a relative in loco parentis, by sex and relationship to children of this person, was as follows: till 1 1 1 1 \ K \ \ \ X 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 \ \ ! \ I j 1 1 1 1 1 1 III! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I I 1 1 1 1 1 1 I'll ONE PARENT V//A TWO PARENTS (MMlI OTHER RELATIVE t 23 - Families Percent with specified with neither relative in loco parentig Relative in parent loco parentis in home Total Male Female Ibtal . 13,191* 100.0 17.7 82.3 Grandparent . 8,111 61.5 10.5 ^1.0 Aunt or uncle . 3,137 23.8 h.l 19.1 Sister or brother... 1,268 9.6 1.6 8.0 Other relatives . 678 5.1 .9 U.2 Relative to 7/hom Payment Was Made Of every 20 families receiving aid to dependent children, the assistance payment was made to the mother in 16, to the father in 2, to a grandmother in 1, and to another relative in 1. The "other relative" was most often an aunt, with grandfather and sister next in frequency. As indicated below, the mother received the payment in 62 percent of the families in which the children were living with both parents, but this proportion varied from 26 percent in Arkansas to 99 percent in Massachusetts and Wisconsin. The mother received the payment in 99 percent of the families when she was the only parent in the home, while the father received the payment in 96 percent of the families when he was the only parent in the home.

In order to uphold the father's status as head of the family, some States make thel payment to him whenever possible. Bie Illinois Division of Public Assistance declares: "In many cases where both father and mother are in the home, the father is incapacitated and unable to support his family but is still able to act as the head of the group in planning for their welfare. In such circumstances, although the mother woiad actually assume the major responsibility for the care of the children, it may be best for the father to file the application and to act as 3/ Aunt, 1.8; grandfather, 1.2; sister, 0.8; all other relatives, 1.1. 5/ Less than 0.05 percent. - 2U - grantee relative. It is important that normal relationships in the family group be maintained insofar as possible. If the assist¬ ance grant is made in the name of the father, he may still be looked upon by the children as the source of their support." £/ The l6 States differ strikingly in the relative number of families with both parents (natural or adoptive) in the home in which the father was the payee. The proportion ranged from 1 percent in Wisconsin to 76 percent in Arkansas. The father received the payment in less than one-fifth of these •families in 6 States, and in more than two-thirds in 3 States (chart VII). 6/ c Chart VII.— Relative receiving payment in ADC families with both parents-Jt in the home, for I6 States, October 19h2 PERCENT OF FAMILIES 20 40 60 80 100 WIS.

' VI. REASONS FOR LACK OF SUPPORT OR CARE Title IV of the Social Security Act authorizes Federal financial partici¬ pation in assistance granted by State public assistance agencies in behalf of needy children who have been "deprived of parental support or care by reason of the death, continued absence from the home, or physical or mental inca¬ pacity of a parent" and who are living with one or both parents or with other specified relatives. The Social Security Act, however, does not define "continued absence" and "incapacity" and therefore is susceptible to broad or narrow interpretation of these provisions. State public assistance agencies have formulated policies and developed rules and regulations for detennining eligibility that range from very general provisions to specific definitions. States which have detailed and specific provisions for the determination of eligibility vary greatly in many particu- lars. In States vrith broad and general provisions, the practice in particular situations may vary among local agencies and can .be ascertained only by detailed review of local practices. The exhaustive examination of practice necessary to explain all State differences is beyond the scope of this study, but the findings here suggest areas in which more detailed study might be profitable. This study confirms what less comprehensive data previously have indi¬ cated — that the differences arrwng States in defining absence and incapacity result in great lack of uniformity in the types of families receiving aid to dependent children, and that many States are far from making full use of the provisions of the Social Security Act. Major Reasons To show the various factors contributing to the dependency of children receiving aid to dependent cliildren in the l6 States, information was collected on the status of each parent, without regard to the reason for lack of support or care which was used as the basis for eligibility. 1/ Of the reasons for lack of support or care recognized by the Social Security Act, death was the most important single factor in the dependency of families aided in the 16 States in the fall of 19^2:. In 39 percent of the families one parent was dead, and in an additional 3 percent, the children were full orphans. Absence from the home for reasons other than incapacity ranked second. What may be summarized as estrangement from family 2/ accounted for the great preponderance of such absences, but a few parents were absent in the armed forces, or imprisoned, or absent for other reasons. In 37 percent of the families, one or both parents were absent because of estrangement from the family. Incapacity ranked third as a reason for dependency. In 28 percent of the families, lack of support or care of the 1/ The proportion of all ADC families in the l6 States having each combina- ~ tion of reasons'for lack of support or care by father and by mother is shown in appendix table 19. 2/ Includes divorce, desertion, separation, and the father not married to the ” mother. - 25 - - 26 - children was occasioned or intensified by incapacity of one or both parents, living either in the home or elsewhere, 3/ As shown below, lack of support or care by the father was a far more important cause of dependency than loss of support or care by the mother.

U Mother only . 1.2 Both parents . 2,6 Incapacity. . 27.6 Father only . 21.0 Mother only . 6.6 Both parents . 1.1 Ordinarily the mother of young children is needed full time in the home to care for the children and to maintain the home. If the father dies, throv^s off family ties ’or responsibilities, or becomes incapacitated, the dual burdens of support and care usually fall upon the mother. Unless there is another person in the home to care for the children, the mother is frequently unable to assume the additional burden of support. Sometimes she is able to work on a part-time basis but often not at all. Hence, for many families the inevitable consequence of loss of support by the father is dependency. In the discussion v^hich follows the reasons for lack of support or care by the father and by the mother are considered separately. Since 98 percent of the fathers were dead, absent from the home, or incapacitated, in contrast to only 17 percent of the mothers, the more detailed analysis of State differ¬ ences in reasons for dependency will be based largely on the reasons for lack of support or care by the father. ^ Lack of Support or Care by the Father In almost four-fifths of the families receiving aid to dependent children in the 16 States, the father was not in the home. Among the families in which the father was not in the home, death was the most important single factor, and estrangement from family ranked second in loss of the father’s support or care. In families in which the father was in the home, incapacity was the principal reason, k/ 3/ liie percentages shown total more than 100, since families in which the father was unable to provide support or care for one reason and the mother, for another, have been counted twice.

U Other reasons . 1,8 Death of the Father Under the programs of mothers' aid antedating the Social Security Act, the children of widowed mothers were frequently the only children, and always the major group, eligible for aid. It may be assumed that all States adminis¬ tering aid to dependent children are assisting the children of widows to the extent that such children are determined to be economically needy in accord¬ ance with the State's practices in establishing need. Presumably State programs of aid to dependent children are more uniform in the acceptance of families in which the father is dead than in the acceptance of families lack¬ ing support or care for any other reason. In establishing lack of parental support or care, both incapacity and continued absence are variously defined by the States, but death is hardly subject to qualification. The number of widows receiving aid to dependent children in the I6 States in October 19h2 was 17 per 100 families in the population having a female widowed head and children. 6/ The number ranged from 6 in the District of Columbia to 30 in Arizona (chart VIII). 7/ The variation among States in the recipient rate of widows is attributable partly to differences in the propor¬ tion of widows with c'hildren who are needy, but largely to differ^ces in agency practice in determining need. Unfortunately, it is impossible from available data to separate these factors and to determine the effect of each. Although benefits under old age and survivors insurance are not paid on the basis of individual determination of need, this program might be e^qpected to have an effect on aid to dependent children by providing for some orphaned children who otherwise would be eligible for assistance. Possibly because of the newness of the program and its coverage limitations, old age and sur¬ vivors insurance had not affected aid to dependent children significantly in 5/ See footnote 2, page 25 . i/ The number of families with female widowed heads and children is estimated “ by applying I9U0 census data on percent of female widowed heads with chil¬ dren in urban, rural-nonfarm, and rural-farm population in North East, North Central, South, and West regions to corresponding State figures on the number of female widowed heads, 7/ See appendix table I8. - 28 - October I9I4.2. The rates for fatherless children receiving payments under the two programs show no correlation in the I6 States.

Divorce and legal separation. — The relative number of ADC families in which the father was divorced or legally separated from the mother ranged from 5 in North Carolina to 66 in Oklahoma (chart X). 11/ Only slight differences among States may be attributed to variations in the incidence of divorce and legal separation in their general populations. The range in the proportion of all families with wife present, in which the husband and wife were divorced, was from 0.6 percent in North Carolina to 2,k percent in the District of Columbia. Oklahoma was next highest, with 1.9 percent. 12/ In some States no specific period of time need elapse after a divorce decree has been granted before eligibility for aid to dependent children may be established, while in other States periods ranging from 3 months to a year are required. In one State, if the father fails to pay alimony awarded by the court and the mother is unwilling to institute legal proceedings for its pay- 11/ See appendix table 23.

Desertion or separation vriLthout court "decree. — ^Among families receiving aid to dependent children the number of fathers who had deserted or were separated from the mother without legal sanction per 100 fathers dead ranged from 18 in North Carolina to 93 in the District of Columbia.

The next highest viras 3*3 in Louisiana, li;/ With the possible exception of the 13/ See appendix table 23. m/ Bureau of the Census, 19U0 population. These percentages are based on all families, including those without children. “Husband absent” includes husbands who are legally separated from their wives but not divorced, who are in institutions, or whose residence is not the same as their wives, such as soldiers, sailors, and men in labor camps. Except for the Dis¬ trict of Columbia, it is assumed that the inclusion of these other absences makes little difference in the relative proportion of families with husband deserting or separated without court decree. - 31 - District of Columbia, there appears to be little, if any, correlation between abiSence of fathers in the general population and in ADC families. State differences in policy and practice in determining eligibility in cases of desertion and informal separation seem to have more effect in determining the relative number of ADC families in which children are deprived of support or care for this reason than the incidence of such absences in the population. In cases of desertion in the District of Columbia, absence from the home must have been continuous for at least 1 month before the payment is approved, with the probability of continuing for 3 months thereafter. At the other extreme, in Wisconsin, the record must show abandonment to have been for a period of 1 year, and the filing of a warrant must be verified through the official who issued it. In South Dakota, which had the second lowest relative number of fathers who had deserted or were separated by mutual agreement, desertion must be verified by obtaining sworn documents from three disinter¬ ested individuals, such as businessmen, professional men, clergymen, or city- officials. State policies and practices vary in insisting that legal steps must have been taken to try to compel parental support and oh the length of time which must elapse sufter desertion before aid is given. The time varies from no specified period up to a year, with 6 months the most usual requirement. Father not married to the mother. — For every 100 ADC families in which the father was dead, the number in which the father was not married to the mother ranged from 8 in Utah to 53 in the District of Columbia. The next highest rate was U8 in Oklahoma (cliart X) . l5/ Comparative da-ba on the inci¬ dence of illegitimacy are not available, but it may safely be assumed that illegitimacy, like desertion and separation without court decree, is highest in States where large proportions of the population are socially or economi¬ cally disadvantaged. State differences in the extent of illegitimacy are not sufficient, however, to account for the wide range in the relative number of ADC families in which the mother is unmarried. It is evident that in many States moral attitudes make it more difficult for needy illegitimate children •bo get assistance than for children dependent for other reasons. State policies and practices concerning the length of time an unmarried father must have deserted vary as much as for a married deserting father. Policies and practices also vary in the pressures exerted to establish pater¬ nity. Furthermore, although the State plan may specifically provide that illegitimate children are eligible for aid, restrictive practices in some local agencies result in the acceptance of few children of unmarried mothers. Incapacity of the Father Incapacity was a less frequent reason for dependency among families receiving aid in the fall of 19U2 than either of the other reasons specified by the Social Security Act. The father was incapacitated in 22 percent of the families— in 19 percent he was living in the home and in 3 percent he was receiving care elsewhere. 16/ 15/ See appendix table 23* 16/ See appendix table 22, - 32 - Under mothers* aid, some States authorized aid for children whose fathers were physically or mentally incapable of earning a living, but in popular conception and in actual practice mothers' aid w^as extended in large part only to widows. Consequently, there has been less experience with incapacity as a basis of eligibility for a special type of aid than with death or continued absence. Furthermore, determining loss of support or care because of inca¬ pacity presents certain problems not encountered in determining eligibility for other reasons. It is not surprising, therefore, to find great diversity among States in defining deprivation of support or care because of incapacity as an eligibility requirement for aid to dependent children. These differ¬ ences in interpretation naturally result in great dissimilarity among States in the relative number of ADC families with an incapacitated father. For every 100 ADC families deprived of support because of the father's death, the number deprived of support because of his incapacity ranged from 31 in Illi¬ nois to 110 in West Virginia. In 6 States the number with an incapacitated father was less than half j in 7 States, from three-fifths to somewhat more than four-fifths; and in 3 States, more than the number in which the father was dead (chart XI). 17/ Chart XI. — Incapacitated fathers per 100 fathers dead, ADC families, for 16 States, October 19k2 NUMBER PER 100 FATHERS DEAD 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 ILL.

I I AT HOME \'///\ ELSEWHERE 17/ See appendix table 23. - 33 - Some differences among States in the relative number of ADC families in which the father is incapacitated may be attributed to differences in the prevalence of incapacity in the population. The health of the population is affected by many factors which vary from State to State, among them social and economic conditions, degree of urbanization, major types of industry, the extent of public health activities, facilities for medical care, and so on. The census shows, for each State, the proportion of males aged I4 years and over who in March I9U0 were unable to work because of permanent disability, chronic illness, or old age, and who were not in institutions for medical care or treatment. V/hile the amount of disabling illness would probably be differ¬ ent for married men with children, these data afford an index of variations that might be expected among States. In the 2 States having the lowest pro¬ portion of incapacitated males in the population, this fact may partly explain their also having a low proportion of ADC families with an incapacitated father in the home. Among the other 14 States, however, the range in the proportion of incapacitated males was very small (5.8 to 7*4 percent) and the position of .the States within that range appears to have little, if any, effect on the proportion of ADC families having an incapacitated father. It may be assumed, therefore, that most of the disparity among States in the relative number of families receiving aid because the father is incapacitated results from differences in policy and practice in determining eligibility with respect to incapacity. State definitions of physical and mental incapacity in determining eligibility for aid vary in many respects. A State may have a relatively liberal policy in one respect but be restrictive in another. Moreover, lack of specific instructions on certain points in the plan and procedural material of, many States may result in a variety of practice in local units within the States. The following illustrations indicate the wide range in policy or practice of the ‘'6 States with respect to some of the factors involved in determining incapacity as a factor in eligibility. 18/ (a) Degree of incapacity: In South Dakota, children deprived of support or care because of the incapacity of a parent receive aid to dependent children only if the parent is totally, and relatively permanently, incapacitated. In West Virginia, on the other hand, incapacity is defined to cover realistically all cases of dependency resulting from a parent's incapacity, irrespective of the nature or degree of incapacity. Emphasis is placed upon the dependency resulting from the physical or mental incapacity of the wage earner, rather than upon the degree of incapacity. Although the provisions of another State iii5)Ose no restrictions on eligibility because of the degree of incapacity, the general lack of awareness of the implications of health problems on the part of local agencies results in their determining incapacity largely in terms of employability. As a consequence, needy children who are actually lacking support or care ly reason of incapacity may be deprived of aid to dependent children. FurthenoDre, this emphasis may deny assistance at a time when its 18/ The illustrations of policy are taken from State plan material, and the — illustrations of practice from the reports of the administrative review by the staff of the Social Security Board. The illustrations of neither policy nor practice are necessarily the most restrictive or the most liberal to be found in the I6 States, and similar policies and practices may obtain in States which are not mentioned. - 3U - provision would help to reduce the duration or the extent of the parent’s incapacity and thus prevent long-time dependency for the family. Other restrictions, closely related, to degree, are placed on incapacity as an eligibility requirement by some States. According to policy, children whose parents have certain disabilities which can be improved by operative care or treatment are generally not eligible for aid in Nebraska and South Dakota. Both States sa-y that in practice the application of this policy is restricted to cases of hernia. The South Dakota manual states that obtaining remedial treatment in these cases is considered the responsibility of the family. South Dakota also refuses aid to dependent children in cases in which sanatorium care has been recommended but is refused by the patient; and a child whose parent is mentally incapacitated is eligible for aid only if the parent is institutionalized. (b) Time limitations: Children whose parents are temporarily incapaci¬ tated are ineligible for aid in Wisconsin unless the incapacity is expected to continue for a year. In other States, the required duration of incapacity varies from 3 to 6 months. A few States permit the continuation of payments during a period of observation, usually not longer than three months, after the apparent dis¬ appearance of incapacity follovring treatment, in order to be assured that incapacity no longer exists. (c) Provisions for medical and psychiatric examinations: In some States the public assistance agency arranges and pays for medical or psychiatric examinations, while others hold it more or less the responsibility of the applicant to obtain the required physician’s statement. In some local units, lack of medical facilities sometimes renders it difficult to establish inca¬ pacity and restricts the number of cases based on this eligibility requirement. North Carolina requires a notarized statement by the physician attesting to unemployability. Physicians are reluctant to give such statements. In some local agencies in another State the statement of the applicant, without a physician’s report, is sufficient to establish his incapacity. (d) Responsibility for determining eligibility: Some agencies rely entirely on the physician’s statement as a means of determining eligibility with respect to incapacity rather than consider the medical statement as part of the evidence on which they make a decision. The final responsibility for determining whether needy children are dependent because of the parent’s incapacity, although properly the agency’s function, is thereby placed on the physician. (e) Consideration of other factors: Some States specify that social, psychological, and occupational factors, as well as the report of medical findings, should be taken into account in reaching a decision about the inca¬ pacity of 'a parent, though they differ in evaluating these factors. Other States ignore some of these factors entirely. For example, job opportunities are not considered in Illinois. If a partially incapacitated parent is capable of performing certain jobs, even though such jobs are not available in the community, he is considered unemployed, rather than incapacitated, and - 35 - the children are therefore ineligible for aid to dependent children. Both the tendency to transfer to the physician the responsibility for determining eligibility with respect to incapacity and the failure to consider other factors may be attributed at least in part to the fact that in some States the instructions for determining eligibility in cases of incapacity deal only with the physiciq^i's report. (f) Deprivation of care: In at least three States cases of physical or mental incapacity are eligible for aid 'to dependent children only when the breadwinner is disabled. Consequently, some needy families in which the mother is incapacitated are ineligible for aid. V/hile other States do not specifically. prohibit aid in such cases, as is shown later, many States give aid to very few children, if any, who have been deprived of the mother's care because of her incapacity. Lack of Support or Care by the Father for Reasons Other Than Death, Estrangement From Family, and Incapacity Information on the reasons for lack of parental support or care was based on the status of the parent with whom the child vfas living or last lived. For the majority of fathers, the status corresponds with a reason for deprivation of support or care specified in the Social Security Act and presumably, in most cases, with the reason from which the eligibility of the children stems. Ninety-five percent of the families were deprived of the father's support or care for one of the reasons thus far discussed — death, continued absence because of estrangement from the family, and incapacity. The reasons for lack of support or care by the father in the remaining 5 percent of the families were as follows: 19/ Reason for lack of support or care by the father, Percent of other than death, estrangement from family, or incapacity families Ibtal . U.9 No t in the home . 3*1 Imprisoned . 2.0 Serving in armed forces . •h Absent for other reason . .7 In the home . Unemployed or with insufficient earnings . 1.0 Not legally responsible . *5 Needed in the home . *2 Support or care not lacking . .1 For every 100 fathers dead, the support of 13 fathers was lacking for one of these minor reasons. The relative number ranged from 7 in Arkansas, Missouri, and South Dakota to 29 in Oklahoma. 20/ 19/ For State data, see appendix table 22. 20/ See appendix table 23. - 36 - •Families in which the father was imprisoned or serving in the armed forces (2.U percent) would be eligible for aid to dependent children under the Social Security Act because of his continued absence, and those in which the stepfather was not legally responsible (0,5 percent) would likewise be eligi¬ ble, because the natural father was dead or continuously absent. Only 2 percent of the ADC families thus remain in which the status of the father does not in itself indicate eligibility in terms of the Social Security Act. In more than half of these families the mother was either dead, continuously absent, or incapacitated. 21/ Lack of support or care according to the eli¬ gibility requirements of the Social Security Act therefore failed to be apparent from the status of either the father or the mother in less than 1 percent of all families receiving aid. Only ‘ 2 States had more than 2 percent of such families — 2.2 and 2,8 percent. Seven States had between 1 and 2 percent, and seven, less than 1 percent. The presence of these apparently ineligible children on the ADC rolls is to be expected for two reasons. At any time when a cross section is taken of an assistance case load, some ineligible persons will be found if the sample is representative. One purpose of a' periodic reinvestigation of cases is to discontinue assistance to persons who have become ineligible as a result of changed circumstances. Of necessity, there is some lag between the time when changed conditions make a person ineligible for aid and the time when he ceases to receive aid. Moreover, State programs of aid to dependent children may and do assist some children ineligible under the Social Security Act for whom reimbursement is not claimed. Imprisoned. — In 2 percent of the families receiving aid to dependent children the father was unable to provide support because he was imprisoned. The number of fathers imprisoned w^as 5 per 100 fathers dead and ranged from 2 in Arkansas to l5 in the District of Columbia. The next highest number was 9 in West Virginia. Part of the difference among States in the relative number of imprisoned fathers is the result of lack of uniformity in the length of sentence required to establish the fact that ‘a child has been deprived of support or care. Ihis varies from no specified time up to a year. Serving in armed forces. — Only O.U percent of the fathers in ADC families were serving in the armed forces. Ihe number of such fathers per 100 fathers dead was 1 and ranged from none in Oklahoma and Wisconsin to 6 in Montana. Most of these families were receiving aid to dependent children temporarily while awaiting the first payment under the Servicemen’s Dependents Allowance Act. A fev/ families may have been receiving aid to supplement dependents' allowances. Since the time of the study, the Servicemen's Dependents Allow¬ ance Act has been amended to shorten the time between induction of the serviceman and issuance of the first allowance check to his dependents and to increase the amount of the allowance for families with children. Absent for other reasons. — In less than 1 percent of the families the father was absent from the home for reasons not specified. Ihese cases include those in which the father is living away from home because of employ¬ ment or for any other reason not previously mentioned. The number per 100 21/ Reason for lack of support or care by the mother, according to status of the father, by State, is shown in appendix table 2^. - 37 dead was 2 and ranged from less than 1 in Missouri to 6 in Utah. In almost three-fourths of these families the mother was dead, absent, or incapacitated. Unemployed or with insufficient earnings. — Less than 2 percent of all fathers were at home and not incapacitated. More than half of these were classified as unemployed or with insufficient earnings. The number of fathers unemployed or with insufficient earnings was 3 per 100 fathers dead, ranging from none in South Dakota to 9 per 100 in Oklahoma. In more than two-fifths of the families in which unemployment or insufficient earnings was given as the reason for lack of support by the father, the mother was dead, absent, or incapacitated; and in about one-fifth, the father was a stepparent. Incapacity in Relation to Absence Using as a base the number of ADC families in which the father was dead, the distributions of the relative number of families with the father inca¬ pacitated and with the father absent indicate that the l6 States differ greatly in the extent to which they were using the provisions of the Social Sec\irity Act with respect to children deprived of support or care for each of these reasons. Have the States which have more fully utilized the inca¬ pacity provisions taken equal advantage of the absence provisions? As shown by the following analysis, there is no uniformity among the 16 States in the relationship between the importance of incapacity and of absence as reasons for dependency. Of the 6 States with the lowest relative number of families with an incapacitated father, k also had a relatively low, and 2 a high, number of families with the father absent. 22/ Of the 6 States approximating the aver¬ age in number of incapacitated fathers, 1 had a low, U near the average, and 1, a high number of fathers absent. Of the States with the highest relative number of incapacitated fathers, 3 had approximately the average, and only 1 a high, number of fathers absent. Lack of Support or Care by the Mother The mother's death, incapacity, or absence from the home was a factor in the dependency of only a little more than one-sixth of the ADC families. In three-fifths of the families the mother was considered to be needed full time in the home, and in more than one-fifth of the families the mother was classified as unemployed or with insufficient earnings. 23/ As sho7m by the following table, incapacity ranked next to death as a reason for lack of care by the mother and, unlike the corresponding reasons for lack of support by the father, absence of the mother because of estrangement from the family was a much less important reason for lack of care than her incapacity. 22/ The States were classified by dividing the total range for each of these reasons into three equal parts; the middle third of the range was con¬ sidered "average." ^/ For State data, see appendix table 2U. - 38 - Percent of Reason for lack of support or care by the mother families All reasons . 100.0 Mot in the home... . 11.2 Dead . ^ . 6.8 Incapacitated . .7 Estranged from family . ; . 2.3 Absent for other reasons . . .

A mother not actually employed was to be reported as available for work only if the children were deemed to be old or mature enough to look after themselves while the mother worked or it was believed that some other suitable arrangement could be made for their care. , . In some families, another adult was in the home and could assume responsi¬ bility for the children. The mother was needed full time in the home more often when the father was in the home than when he was absent. The percent of ADC families deprived of the mother’s support or care for specified reason, according to whether or not the father was in the home, was as follows: Total Father Father not families in home in home Needed full time in home. 77.7 55.U ■ Unemployed or with insufficient earnings 22.7 9.8 26.2 Other reason . . . 17.2 12.5 18. U Although sometimes an incapacitated father may be able to supervise the children while the mother is at work, generally the presence of an incapaci¬ tated father in the home makes it more important for the mother to remain full time in the home. Also, the larger number of children in these homes would make it necessary for more mothers to devote full time to home duties. The average number of dependent children per family was 3.1 when the father was in the home, in contrast to 2.3 when he was absent. Individual States differ v/idely in the extent to which mothers were classified as needed full time in 'the home (chart XII). In Massachusetts, Utah, and YIest Virginia, more than 9 of every 10 mothers who lived at home and - 39 - were able-bodied were considered to. be needed full time in the home. On the other hand, in the District of Columbia, Arkansas, and North Carolina, only about 5 of every 10 such mothers were judged to be needed full time at home.

UNEMPLOYED OR WITH INSUFFICIENT EARNINGS Y///X NEEDED IN THE HOME The great range among States in the proportion of mothers who were reported as unemployed or with insufficient earnings indicates that the practices in some States encourage many mothers who would be considered as needed in the home in other States to supplement the family income by work¬ ing. Undoubtedly the smallness of the assistance payment has forced some of these mothers to accept employment. The fact that in some States a consider¬ able proportion of the mothers receiving aid were v/orking or seeking v.^ork also suggests that, v/ithout due consideration of its effect on the welfare of the children, other mothers were probably denied or dissuaded from applying for assistance because they were considered employable. The importance of permitting mothers with young children to remain in the home has been recognized in national wartime policy. Despite acute labor shortages, the policy adopted by the V/ar Manpower Commission is that "no woman responsible for the care of young children should be encouraged or compelled to seek employment which deprives her children of her essential care until after all other sources of labor supply have 'been exhausted." 2I4./ '^^^^7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777. 1 1 1 1 '^^^7777777777777777777777777777777777/7777777777777777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 m7^7m7777777777777777777V7V7777777V777r7V77777V777V77V7777777y7777777777. till W^7^^^V777V77V777777777777V77V7V777V7y777/7777777V777777777777777777y 1 1 1 1 77^^7^^^^^^M77777777V777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 1 r 1 1 '7777^7^W^7^^^^W7777V7777777777V7V77777777777V77777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ^^7^^7^^^^^^^^rV7777777777777V77777777777777777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777. till '^^^^^^^^^^^^^^77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 ’^777^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^777777777777777V7V777V777777V77V77V7V77V7V7V7777 1 1 1 1 77^^7^^^^^^^!^^77777777777777777777V7V77777777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 99S6SS6SS6>9S66S666666^$S6666/S>6!$97$7S^/// ////////////// /////////////////////7///// till '7^7^77777^^^^^7^^^^^M^7^777777777777777V7V777777777777777777777^ 1 1 1 1 '^7^^’'^^^^^^^^^^^^^W777777777777777777777777777777777777/ 1 1 1 1 _ 1 _ ^ ^ ^ _ 2l|/ Directive No. IX, issued August 12, 19^2. Dead, incapacitated, or absent for other reason. — While 17 percent of the families were deprived of the mother's support or care because of her death, incapacity’', or absence, more than 93 percent of these families were also deprived of the father's support or care. 25/ Approximately 1 percent of all families were dependent primarily because deprived of the mother's care. A mother can usually manage to keep the children with her if the, father's function of support is assumed by the Agency. It may be more difficult to find a substitute for the mother's care vfhen she is absent or incapacitated. In some instances, however, supplementing the father's earnings by assistance enables him to purchase the services a mother would perform and thereby main¬ tain a home for his children. The influence of the old mothers '-aid philos¬ ophy is apparent in the reluctance of many States to give aid to dependent children to fathers whose children have been deprived of a mother's care. In every 1,000 families receiving aid in Oklahoma, there were 26 in which the mother's death, incapacity, or absence was the chief reason for need (father was in the home and not incapacitated). In 11 of the other l5 States (chart XIII), the corresponding rate was less than 5 per 1,000.

VII. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the characteristics of families receiving aid to dependent children in l6 States in the fall of 1942 indicates some respects in which, under the existing provisions of the Social Security Act, States could aid' more needy children and more effectively serve children already receiving aid. 1. In some States, aid to dependent children is frequently not available to all children who are eligible to receive it under the State plan. For example : (a) Practices in the administration of aid to dependent children in some States apparently result in assistance to fewer Negro and Indian children than white children in relation to the number of needy children in the respective populations. The disparity among the 16 States in the proportion of Negro and Indian children receiving aid is far too great to be explained by differences among States in the extent of need aroong children of these minority groups. Furthermore, a low recipient rate for Negro or Indian children is not always explained by a generally restricted program in the State; it occurs in some States with a relatively high recipient rate for white children. (b) The relatively small proportion of one-child families receiving aid suggests a tendency to reject such cases in at least one of the 16 States. 2. In several States, certain needy children fail to receive aid because by law, policy, or practice, some eligibility requirements of the State program are narrower than those specified for Federal matching under the Social Security Act. For example: (a) The wide discrepancy among the l6 States in the number of families receiving aid to dependent children that were deprived of parental support or care because if incapacity indicates that many children who are dependent for this reason were not receiving this type of aid. Although the Federal act places no conditions on incapacity as a factor in eligibility, for admin¬ istrative purposes it is important for States to define this factor specif¬ ically. Some State plans, however, require an undue degree or duration of incapacity, or otherwise restrict eligibility in such cases. Tlie provisions of some other States are so general that in practice their application may be equally limited. (b) Similarly, a more limited interpre.tation of what constitutes lack of parental support or care because of absence results in some States' deny¬ ing aid to dependent children to certain children who would be eligible for this type of aid in other States. In such cases, eligibility is restricted by a requirement that the absence shall have continued as long, as a year or that legal steps have been taken to try to con^^el parental support. *(c) In some States, the relatively small proportion of fathers receiving aid on behalf of dependent children deprived of the care of the mother may indicate failure to recognize deprivation of care as an eligibility factor when support is not lacking. A father who ordinarily would be able to support - Ill - - U2 - his family may be unable to maintain a home for his children if services to substitute for the mother’s care must be purchased. (d) The Social Security Act provides for aid to children who are other¬ wise eligible up to age l6 and to age l8 if they are attending school. In 6 of the l6 States, children over 16 years were ineligible for aid whether or not they were in school; in 1 State, school attendance was a requirement for children ll; and l5 years of age. 3. The findings of the study suggest the following ways in which the program could be made more effective: (a) The right of mothers to choose aid rather than employment v>rhen employment will result in neglect or inadequate care of the children is implicit in the objectives of the program and conforms with the employment policy of the War Manpower Commission. The large proportion of mothers in some States who were working or were judged to. be available for work seems to indicate, however, that the agencies encouraged some mothers who had young children and vfere needed full time in the home to seek employment. Higher assistance payments are a prerequisite to releasing mothers from employment when they are needed in the home. (b) Making the father the payee whenever possible helps to uphold his status in the family. The infrequency of payee fathers in some States suggests that the desirability of this practice may not always have been considered. (c) Determining the eligibility of all children in families in which any child receives aid to dependent children, and certifying them for aid if eligible, contribute to good administration of the program. The practice in some States of failing to approve large numbers of eligible children in fami¬ lies receiving aid has concealed important facts about the program — the number of children for whom aid was intended and the amount of assistance per child. This situation makes it difficult to evaluate the program and to justify the need for additional funds, and thus directly affects the children who are receiving aid. By modifying the laws, policies, and practices that deny aid to children who. are eligible under the Social Security Act and adversely affect the chil¬ dren who are receiving aid. States can realize more fully the objectives of the act's provisions for aid to dependent children.

INTRODUCTION Under the Social Seciirity Act, the Federal Govemraent makes grants- in-aid to States to assist them in financing programs of aid to dependent children. State public assistance agencies provide assistance to needy children deprived of parental support or care through the death, continued absence from home, or incapacity of a parent. The purpose of aid to depend¬ ent children is to ensure such children continuance of as normal a family life as is possible. Assistance is intended to enable the mother or other relative responsible for the supervision of the children to remain in the home to care for them and to enable children of school age to remain in school. These objectives can be realized for families v/ith dependent chil¬ dren only if their incomes from assistance end other sources are large enough to supply them with the essentials of living. Until now, any conclusions regarding the adequacy of aid to depend¬ ent children have necessarily been based on data on the amounts of assist¬ ance payments — even though assistance often supplements other family income and is not necessarily the sole source of support. To obtain information on the amounts that families receiving aid to dependent children have to live on, the Social Security Board planned a sample study of the incomes of families receiving aid to dependent children to be made on a voluntary basis by State public assistance agencies. This study v/as a part of a larger study of the characteristics of children receiving aid to dependent children, y The income study was made in the autumn months of 1942 in the following ei^t States: 2j Arkansas Massachusetts Montana Oklahoma District of Columbia ' Missouri North Carolina Wisconsin The year 1942 was the first full year of the Nation's participation in World War II and was characterized by expanding industrial production, mounting demands for manpower, and rising living costs. Tlie war economy had its impact on families receiving aid to 'dependent children as on all groups in the population. New employment opportunities gave mothers and older children in families receiving aid to dependent children opportunity to increase their family income and to raise their standard of living, which in most instances was extremely low. The inadequacy of the incomes of families who were dependent in whole or in part on assistance had been sharply accentuated by the rapid rise in the cost of living. For the most part, public assistance agencies — despite decreases in the number of fami¬ lies on the rolls— had insufficient funds to adjust assistance payments upwards rapidly enough or in large enough amounts to keep pace with climb¬ ing prices. Many mothers and children were thus forced to work. The urge to participate in the war effort was an additional factor influencing some mothers and children to take advantage of job openings. 1/ See Families Receiving Aid to Dependent Children, October ^94^. t. Psrt I RaceTsiiiT and Composition of Families and Reasons for Dependen^, Public Assistance Report No. 7, Bureau of Public Assistance, Social obtain income data. - 1 - 2 - In 1942, earnings from employment were available to a larger portion of the families receiving aid to dependent children and constituted a larger share of their total incomes than would be possible except under conditions of acute labor shortage. The increase in family incomes from earnings was gained in many instances through the sacrifice of values which the aid to dependent children program is intended to assure. Many mothers who worked outside the home and who were unable to arrange for the care of their young children frequently left them for long hours without supervision. Many boys and girls who had been receiving aid to dependent children gave up school in order to work. Since many of these children will not return to school, their contribution to the family income during the war period may have been at the expense of preparation for earning a li'^ring in a more competitive labor market and may result in increased dependency at a later date. Thus, consideration of the adequacy of aid to dependent children should be directed toward both the total amount of income of families on the rolls and the sources of that income. II. TOTAL INCOME OF FAMILIES RECEIVING AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN In the autumn months of 19^k2, when the largest part of the wartime rise in living costs had taken place, cash income averaged $63 in house¬ holds on the rolls of aid to dependent children in 8 States. ^ Many of these families also had some Income in kind. That from public sources was most frequently in the form of surplus food distributed under the Food Stamp Plan, then still in operation. Some had noncash income from private sources, such as farm or garden produce or living quarters given them rent- free or in return for services. For the group as a whole, however, it is apparent that even in this war year, when chances for work and hence total family resources were unusually great, children receiving aid in these 8 States were living in homes where means were very limited. In these homes, the average family consisted of 4*5 persons, includ¬ ing the children for whom assistance was given, the mother or relative responsible for their care, and any other persons who lived in the same household, shared income, and were regarded as members of the family, ij In some households, the group approved for aid to dependent children un¬ doubtedly shared in the resources of other members; in some, persons other than those for whom the assistance payment was planned benefited from it. In such households, it is not possible to determine just what part of total 1 income was available to the assistance unit. ^ Family income for the purposes of this report, therefore, is that of all members of the family and reflects the level of living in homes where income included aid to dependent children. 2/ Arkansas, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Wisconsin. In aU. States but Wisconsin, the data cover families receiving aid in October 1942; in Wisconsin, September 1942. ij For the purpose of this study, a family was defined as a group of persons living together and sharing a common income, which may be received by one member of the group or may result from pooling the income of several members. Ifemarried children and other relatives were counted as members of a family, if they were considered as part of the family group and economic unit and not as a separate family, even though they paid a definite amount for board and room instead of sharing a common family income. ^ Parent, parents, or supervising relative and children approved for aid. - 3 - - 4 - The information here summarized for 8 States is the first which has become available on total income of families receiving assistance under the State-Federal program of aid to dependent children. Though the States are widely scattered and diverse, they include only a fraction of all States administering this type of aid. The findings of the study therefore do not necessarily reflect the situation of all families receiving aid to dependent children. Since aid is given to supplement whatever resoiirces families them¬ selves may have, total income in these households with dependent children represented many different combinations of income of various types and from various sources. Types and Sources of Income For the majority of the families in the 8 States combined, total in¬ come came from both public and private sources and included both cash and kind (table 1). All families, of courso, had cash income from aid to dependent children. About 68 percent received money from both public aid and other sources. More than half these families had nonmonetary income as well. Each of several tj^pes of nonmonetary income, such as food stamps, farm and garden produce, or housing, supplemented the cash income of more then one-fourth of the families (chart I). About 28 percent of the families had no cash income other than the ADC payment; more than half of these, however, had some nonmonetary income. Nearly 11 percent of all the families 7/ere wholly dependent on aid to dependent children. Total Cash Income In 7 States combined, families receiving aid to dependent children derived a little more than half their total cash income from aid to depend¬ ent children and nearly 40 percent from earnings; all other sources there¬ fore accounted for less than 10 percent. ^ ^ Complete data on source of income for Missouri not available Table 1.— Percent of families on ADC rolls with and without nonmonetary Income, by source of cash income for g States, October 19^2 5 j »d «) w d ^ -M « 3 -d a o OJ 1 cvj o VO m CO m ^ d > ^ • 1 ••(!«••• o -S » •H d PS o CO ' 1 rH fH rH rH V ^ P< CD i 1 •d «s ^ ^ rt ^ 0 k « P ® a 2 o 0 ,:i-C\ibOcnCUb0KM50 G p ^ f-i o d +» 5 •§ co VC OCOOCOOVD-d-O O -d- CO ^ e >* o >4 O •rt a ^ O -d ® IJ 'd 9 §5.§-3 o ft bO • fH r-i^ CO h-co h-r-o fH CO fH vO fH ro 1 O (0 1 £ Cl} S o ir> r^iTviPr^fH • • ••••••• O rH COVOVO ir>CO r CO fH ir\ CO K\UCMf\OVOCOVO q; cO • •H 4> r- C0r~-O-d-VOrHrHC0 o m r- uTivo vD ir\vo ^ vo •H EH tM •d ® « rt ® ® Vi 3 ^ 'd 0) o fH 1 ^ iH CO KACO o d > »H • 1 •••»••• o *2 «»C0 -M PS o ^ [ ^ P p, ® C t> u <]> « s tJ ® S p 3 o ® 2 •d QO cr»-d^ooor^coif^ O M # • ••••••• O CO ^ (D a >» o CO o Cl) Ej _ ^ -H _ o d © nil 'd r*- 1 crwD o u^r^vo i — o a xi 9 ^ ^ *d 0 I •••••#• 1 rH rH CO fH o u a 0) ® P d o o d 'd o ^ • crvo CO i^cor^i — o s 0 d o -d* icS CO vo 1^ CO O CO •=< o fH fH iH iH ITk cor«-lr^lf^o-=^ coj^ • «••••••• 4> CO r— CO cr\ oo co o CO -d ro u^ EH • • • • • • ©•••••• • © • •H •* •• •• © • ^jQ 4> tg »•*••• CO © *» • iH****** 4» Vi • ©•••cO** oO • o © • • d • • 4> CO • 4> • • •H • • C/1 . tH 43 • • rH • • •k • o © * o • • rH • © • CO| M • d © tt 43 d "H CD © fH 4* ©043>^COOS© O © nH o d d o d EC dd©o3^;dO 343 ©©43 43 ©0 i4©©©ddrH© 1 dfH ©fH O O^fH •iJPSSIS^O^ l/ Includes families with nonmonetary income valued at leas than $5- ^ Families receiving food stamps not included; data not available.

Conclusions as to whether the incomes of families receiving aid to dependent children are large or small can be drawn only by comparing the in¬ comes of 'these families v/ith information on what it would cost them to buy the goods and services deemed necessary for healthful growth and develop¬ ment. Unfortunately, no information is available by Y/hich the adequacy or inadequacy of the incomes of families on the AUC rolls can satisfactorily be measured. In 1942, however, the Bureau of Labor Statistics published cur¬ rent information on the cost of living at a maintenance level of a 4-person manual worker^ s family in large cities. The maintenance budget — developed by the Works Progress Administration — is described as not so liberal as that for a ’’health and decency” level which the skilled worker may hope to obtain, but it affords more than a ’’minimiun of subsistence” living. The maintenance level is below what may be considered a satisfactory' American standard of living. ^ ij Cash income from public assistance throughout the remainder of this report includes the value of orders on vendors for subsistence goods, and the value of commodities, other than siirplus commodities. Families with such income are included with those receiving cash income from pub¬ lic assistance. It should be noted, hoY^ever, that less than 2 percent of the ADC families received this type of income, and it represented only 0.8 percent of the total income of all families from assistance. ^ For a definition of the maintenance level, see Stecker, Margaret Loomis, Intercity Differences in Costs of Living.

It consists of 4.5 persons and includes 1.7 persons 18 years of age and over and 2.8 children under 18 years of age. In 1942, the Consumer Income and Demand Branch of the Office of Price Administration developed a methodology for deriving from the cost of -the maintenance budget for the 4-person family with both parents in the home, the cost of living for a wife and for each child in a family in which -the father is absent. This information is available as of December 15, 1942, for four cities in States participating in the study of ADC incomes, and is given below. 2/ Boston . District of Columbia Milwaukee . . St. Louis . Estimated monthly cost of maintenance budget Each Wife child $64.26 $19.53 66.80 20.30 62.73 19.06 62.93 19.12 On the assumption that the adults in the ADC families other than the mother or other person supervising the children are for the most part older boys and girls — and to err on the conservative side — the cost of living for the 4.5-person family has been computed by adding to the cost of living for a wife the cost for 3.5 children (of y/hom 2.8 children are under 18 years of age). This gives a crude estimate of the monthly cost of living at a maintenance level in the 4 cities for the average ADC family of 4.5 persons, as follows: Boston . $133 Milwaiikee. $129 District of Columbia. 138 St. Louis. 130 It may be assumed that living costs are somewhat lower in rural than in urban areas, and consequently these figures may to some extent overstate the average cost of the maintenance budget for the 4.5-person family in the States of Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Missouri. They afford, how¬ ever, perspective for considering the incomes of families on the ADC rolls and for making some rough judgments as to their adequacy. State Differences in Total Cash Income Considerable difference existed among the States in both the aver¬ age amount and sources of the cash income of families recei-ving aid "to dependent children (table 2). ^ Hearings Before the Committee on Military Affairs.

Consequently, State variations in total cash income can be attributed largely to variations from State to State in the amount of the ADC payment. States also differ greatly in the distribution of the amounts of cash income of individual families receiving aid '(chart III). In some States, money Incomes were concentrated at very low amounts; in others, at consider¬ ably higher levels. More than half the families in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Oklahoma had less than $40 per month in cash while in Wisconsin almost half had over $70 and in Massachusetts, over $80. The higher amoimt in Massachusetts reflects in part the policy of the State in including medical needs in the requirements of recipients in determining the amount of the assistance payment. Relation of Income and Family Composition The significance of the average amoimt of cash income within a State, and of the differences in State averages must be considered in relation to the size and composition of the families receiving aid to dependent children (table 3) • The size of the family affects the extent of its need, and the composition of the family affects its potential earning capacity. Those factors, therefore, affect both the amount of the income derived from assist¬ ance and that derived from private earnings. In the 8 States combined, the, average family receiving aid to depend¬ ent children was composed of 4.5 persons. In North Carolina, the average was 4.9 perspns, and in Massachusetts, where average total cash income, including - 11 - CHART m- PERCENT OF FAMILIES ON ADC ROLLS WITH SPECIFIED AMOUNTS OF CASH INCOME. 8 STATES.

In 7 of the 8 States, nearly 40 percent of the families consisted of only one parent or other supervising relative and the children approved for aid; in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and Montana, more than half were composed of only one adult and the children approved for aid. Additional groups of families, ranging from less than 6 percent of the total in North Carolina to 16 percent in Arkansas, included both parents, one of whom usually was disabled. Differences in the amount of the income of families in the various States were affected by State differences in the maximum age at which chil¬ dren were eligible for this type of assistance and in the proportion of fami¬ lies including persons other than parents or another supervising relative and the children approved for aid. The age through which children are eli¬ gible for aid to dependent children ranged from 15 years in the District of Columbia, Missouri, and Oklahoma to 20 years in Wisconsin. Because the maxi¬ mum assistance payment is usually determined by the number of eligible chil¬ dren in the family. States that provide for the eligibility of older children naturally can make larger payments to some families than States having a lower maximum age. A little more than half the families included persons other than the children approved for aid and the parents or another relative vho was responsible for care of children. One-third of all the families included such other members in the ages 18-64, and about one-fifth had other members who were under age 18 or aged 65 or more. Families with other members of working age obviously had a greater opportunity for income from earnings than those consisting of only the children approved for aid and the parent or other relative who cared for them. Total Cash Income of White and Negro Families The greater prevalence of need among minority races was discussed in Part I of this report* It is well known that there is a wide variation in income from private sources among various races. It is important to deter¬ mine whether there are also significant differences in total income among families of different races receiving aid to dependent children. In all States except Arkansas for which this computation could be made, Negro fami¬ lies had a lower average total cash income than white families (table 4)* _ u - Table 4« — ^Average total cash income of white and Negro families on ADC rolls, and average size of such families, for 8 States, October 1942 State Average total cash income 1 Average size of family White 3/ Negro White iJ Negro Total, 8 States.. 171.50 ^$67.59 4.5 4.8 Arkansas . 29.08 35.05 4.5 4.8 District of Columbia... 74.59 62.79 4.5 4.8 Massachusetts . 103.91 85.71 4.1 3.8 Missouri . . 70.14 67.50 4.6 4.5 Montana . . 60.83 (3) 4.2 (3) North Carolina . 46.20 41.51 4.7 5.4 Oklahoma . . 48.18 , ‘ 44.27 4.8 4.8 Wisconsin . 92.62 (3) 4.3 4.0 “iJ Races other than white or Negro are included with white.

In States with a lower average for Negro families, the differences betT^een the average for Negro and that for white families ranged from less than $3 in Missouri to about $18 in Massachusetts. In Arkansas, the average- for Negro families was about $6 more than that for white families. The lower average total cash income of Negro families in Massachusetts can be explained in part by the fact that there were relatively fewer large Negro families in that State. On the other hand, the higher average for Negro families in Arkansas is partly explained by the greater average size of Negro families in that State, as compared Ydth Thite families. Comparison of total cash income of families of one race and of fami¬ lies of another race implies comparison of the relative level of living of the two groups. At best, average total cash income serves as an extremely rough basis for such comparison* It does not take into account family size or composition, both of which affect the need of the family and its ability to produce income. Without more information than is available, definite conclusions cannot be drawn regarding the relative income levels of the two racial groups. In the 8 States combined, Negro families had an average total cash income of about $68, Ydiile that for white families was about $71. 10/ 10/ The average for Negro families has been adjusted to compensate for the weighting that results from the marked variation among States in the proportion of Negroes in ihe recipient population. To adjust for this weighting, the average was computed on the assimiption that as many Negro as white families in each State received assistance. III. CASH INCOME FROM PUBLIC AID Income in cash from public aid was obtained from aid to dependent chil^en, from payments for other types of public assistance, and in a few instances from WPA earnings and other programs financed by public funds. Aid to Dependent Children Aid to dependent children is provided in the form of a money pay¬ ment to be spent as the parent or other supervising adult thinks best. Payment of assistance in cash enables the family to use this income just as it would use earnings or other income from private sources. It thus can buy goods and services through regular trade channels without being identified as receiving assistance. t Aid to dependent children was the most important single source of cash income and represented almost 94 percent of all cash income from public aid. The median payment was $25, in the 8 States combined, and ranged from a little more than half this amount in Arkansas and North Carolina to more than |60 in Massachusetts. 11/ The range in median pay¬ ments for families with 6 or •more children approved for aid was even greater than that for all families. For these large families, the median amounts ranged from $24 in Arkansas and $30 in North Carolina to $110 in Massachusetts (table 5). Median payments in the District of Columbia and Missouri were undoubtedly influenced by the maximum limits in these States. Relatively few payments were made at the maximum in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Massachusetts and Wisconsin do not have maxiraums. 12/ 11/ To ensure greater comparability in the data, workers were instructed to report the amounts of the regular monthly payments, excluding any amo\mts added to the regular payment for the month of the study to meet such special emergency needs as medical services or, in a few instances, burials. Such additional payments were made in two States as follows: Percent of families receiving specified amounts of additional payments from ADC funds ' state Total Less than $10.00 $10.00-24.99 $25.00 or more Massachusetts 12.8 9.3 2.5 1.0 Wisconsin 2.9 2.1 .8 (*) (*) Less than 0.05 percent. 12/ Maximums on payments in October 1942 in Arkansas, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Oklahoma were $18 for the first child and $12 for each additional child. The maximum payment to a family, however, was limited to $30 in Arkansas, to $60 in Missouri, and to $65 in North Carolina. Maximums in the District of Columbia were $30 for the first , - child and $6 for each additional child, with a family maximum of $60. - 16 - Table 5. — Median ADC payment, excluding amounts for special needs, by number of children approved for aid, for 8 States, October 1942 State All families Families with specified number of children approved for aid 1 2 3 4 5 6 or more Total, 8 States. . . §25 $18 $26 $35 140 $45 $58 Arkansas . . 15 12 U 16 18 20 24 District of Columbia... 42 30 36 42 48 54 60 Massachusetts . 63 47 64 77 89 95 110 Missoiori . 30 18 30 42 54 60. 60 Montana. . . . 30 18 30 42 50 55 60 North Carolina . 15 12 15 18 20 25 30 Oklahoma . 18 . 13 21 28 34 41 50 Wisconsin. . . 38 23 37 47 54 60 71 In each of the 8 States, the average ADC payment to Negro families differed little from that to white families.

Average payments for Negro families were higher than for white families in Arkansas and the District of Columbia, but the average Negro family was larger in those States than the average white family. In Missouri, Negro families were smaller and received a lower average payment than white families. The average payment for white and for Negro families in each of the States was as follows: White 13/ Negro Total, 8 States.... $33.39 $34.00 Arkansas . . 15.96 16.04 District of Columbia.... 38.58 40.32 Massachusetts . 62.98 65.15 Missouri . . 31.68 31.38 Montana . . . . . 32.13 (15) North Carolina . 17.99 16.77 Oklahoma . 22.92 20.92 Wisconsin . . . 40.59 (15) 13/ Races other than white or Negro are included with white. 14/ Adjusted to compensate for variation among States in proportion of Negroes in recipient population. 15/ Not computed, base too small. - 17 - The average for Negro families in the 8 States combined was $34, while that for white families was more than $33. Other Public Aid Public aid other than aid to dependent children was relatively unim¬ portant as a source of money income. Such aid accounted for only slightly more than 6 percent of the cash income from public aid (table 6).

In all the States except Montana, relatively few families received other pub¬ lic aid in cash; the proportion ranged from 0,2 percent in Arkansas to 13 percent in Missouri and Wisconsin, In Montana, however, about 26 percent of the families received such public aid (table 7), Because some of the other public aid was paid to family members other than the payee for aid to dependent children, the additional income may not always have been avail¬ able to the dependent children and the parent or relative caring for them. In the families receiving other aid, however, it represented a substantial addition to total family income. ~ 18 - Table 7. — Percent of families on ADC rolls receiving other cash income from specified type of public aid, for eight States, October 1942 State One or more types of addi¬ tional public aid Percent of families receiving one type of additional public aid Two or more types of addi¬ tional public aid OAA AB GA WPA Other public aid Total, 8 States . 9.2 4.8 0.4 2.3 0.6 0.6 0.5 Arkansas . .2 (1) .1 .1 ^ , District of Columbia . 3.9 2.5 .8 .1 .4 ■ .1 Massachusetts . 6.0 3.1 .5 1.2 .4 .4 .4 Missouri . 13.1 5.9 .3 4.4 1.0 .2 1.3 Montana . . 25.7 8.7 .6 15.1 .3 .5 .5 North Carolina . 6.2 2.8 .4 1.6 .6 .6 .2 Oklahoma. . .

The proportion of families receiving old-age assistance ranged from less than 1 percent in Arkansas to 9 percent in Montana. Fifteen per¬ cent of the families in Montana received general assistance. This type of assistance was received by some families, also, in each of the other States. A few families received aid to the blind, ISPA earnings, or some other public aid in cash. None of these types was received by much more than 1 percent of the families in any of the States. Whether families received assistance in addition to aid to depend¬ ent children was determined by the composition of the family, agency policy, and the adequacy of agency funds. Such other payments were more frequent in families with both parents than in those with one parent, and were relatively more frequent in families that included persons in addition to the parent or parents and the children who had been approved for aid (table 8). In the States in Tdiich ADC payments were limited to the require¬ ments of the payee and of the approved children, the presence of additional needy persons in the family increased the need for additional assistance. In most States, it also increased the possibility that some member of the family was eligible for another type of aid.

Montana, however, was the only one of these States provid- . ing general assistance to any substantial extent to meet requirements exceeding the maximum payment for aid to dependent children. This policy largely accounts for the fact that in Montana, 20.4 percent of families consisting of only one parent and the children approved for aid received another type of payment. In Massachusetts and Wisconsin, the absence of State maximimis made it possible to meet the full amount of need through the ADC payment. \ IV. CASH INCOME FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN PUBLIC AID A substantial share of the income of the families included in the study was received in cash from private sources, such as earnings, cash contributions from friends or relatives, and income from property. These families also had small amounts of cash income from public sources, such as old-age and survivors insurance and unemployment compensation. For convenience, both these types of income will be referred to as cash income from sources other than public aid. Inevitably an inquiry made during wartime, when many persons of marginal employability had jobs, reveals greater earnings and a higher ratio of such cash income in relation to assistance than would be found under less favorable economic conditions. More than two-thirds of all families on ADC rolls of the 8 States had some cash income from sources other than public aid. Massachusetts had the smallest proportion of families with such income, less than one- half. At the other extreme were Arkansas and North Carolina with four- fifths. While a substantial proportion of the families had cash income from sources other than public aid, such income represented a much smaller proportion of all cash income. This is true both in the 8 States combined and in each of the States. In each of the States except North Carolina and Wisconsin, and in the 8 States combined, sources other than public aid furnished less than half the cash income of the ADC families.

About tliree-fifths of the families had some earn¬ ings, including payments from boarders or lodgers, and proceeds from the sale of crops as well as wages. 16/ Arkansas, Missouri, and North Carolina reported cash income from private emplo3nnent for spproximately 70 percent of the families on ADC rolls. North Carolina not only had the second largest proportion of families with income from earnings but was also second among the S States in the proportion of families with persons 18-64 years of age, other than parents, or the adult in loco parentis (37.2 percent). In this State, therefore, the larger percentage of potential wage earners may account to some extent for the greater proportion of families with income from employment. It may be assumed that in many instances, especially in Arkansas and North Carolina, aid to dependent children was inadequate to meet the family* s needs and the employment of older children, and fre¬ quently of the mother, became necessary particularly as living costs rose*. Arkansas and North Carolina had the largest proportion of v/orking mothers — 46.8 and 40.0 percent, I'e spec lively. These percentages are 9 and 8 times that of Massachusetts, which had the lowest proportion of employed mothers and the highest median payment for aid to dependent children. In Arkansas and North Carolina, average earnings in the families with such income were ^17.00 and $33. 40^ respectively. Arkansas had the lowest average earnings as well as the lowest average ADC payment. North Carolina, on the other hand, was the only State where earnings averaged nearly twice the ADC payment.

Less than 10 percent of the families, however, benefited from such con¬ tributions. Income from the ownership of real or personal property, pensions, dependents^ allowances, and so on, were even rarer sources of cash income (table 9)* Since servicemen* s allowances are much higher than the payments permissible under the standards of aid to dependent children, it is not surprising that many families in receipt of allowances are in¬ eligible for aid to dependent children. The payment to a serviceman* s wife and one child is $80 a month as compared y/ith the maximums of $30 payable to a mother and one child under aid to dependent children in Arkansas, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.

V. NONMONETARY INCOME FROM PUBLIC AID More than half the families receiving aid to dependent children in the 8 States had some form of nonmonetary income from public aid.

The proportion of families receiving free food either through the Stamp Plan or through direct dis¬ tribution of surplus agricultural products ranged from about 42 percent in North Carolina and Oklahoma to more than 96 percent in Massachusetts (table 10). Nearly one-third of the families in the 8 States participated in the Stamp Plan, buying orange stamps in amounts presumably equal to their ^normal” food purchases and thus becoming entitled to free blue stamps of equal value exchangeable for food to supplement purchases. The Stamp Plan was not Statevdde in 6 of the 8 States. Nearly one-fourth of the fami¬ lies in these States received surplus foods through direct distribution. Surplus-food distribution was fairly substantial in amount as well as in extent. Although the value of such foods was not reported in this study, information from the Food Distribution Administration shows that the average value of the free stamps issued in December 1942 to families receiving aid to dependent children was between $10 and $15 in each of the States operating under the Stamp Plan except Massachusetts, where it was $19. In Arkansas and North Carolina, a few families received cotton stamps in the month of the study, although in most parts of the country the cotton stamp program had been suspended. Clothing produced on WPA projects was distributed to some families in each State and to about two-fifths of the families in the District of Columbia and Montana, - 25 - - 26 - Table 10* — Percent of families on ADC rolls vdth specified type of nonmonetary income from public sources, for 3 States, October 1942 State Surplus commodities Food stamps Cotton stamps WPA processed clothing Other Total, 8 States. 23.2 32.5 8.8 1.0 Arkansas . 37.5 48.4 .2 4.9 4.7 District of Columbia. 82.6 — — 39.0 — Massachusetts . 49.3 47.1 — 14.8 .6 Missouri . 26.5 17.1 — 11.1 .2 Montana . . 7.0 2/47.8 — 40.6 1.2 North Carolina....... 25.3 16.4 .1 6.2 .4 Oklahoma . .9 - 40.9 — 4.9 1.5 Wisconsin . . 19.8 29.4 . 1.5 .2 \J Less than 0,05 percent. 2J Not available from study.

Medical Care Some States included medical care among the budgeted requirements in computing the amount of the regular monthly payment when inclusion of this requirement did not bring the total amount above the State *s maximum payment. Because of maximums, however, 6 States could provide very little medical care through the monthly assistance payment. In the other 2 States, Massachusetts and Vdsconsin, ADC payments included the cost of emergency medical services for about 12 percent and 3 percent of the families, respec¬ tively. About 10 percent of all the families received medical services provided through general assistance or services in public hospitals or clinics financed from public funds. The proportion of families receiving such services ranged from about 2 percent in Arkansas to about 29 percent in the District of Columbia (table 11). Medical services were provided some families by voluntary health or welfare agencies. Only in the District of Columbia did a substantial proportion of the families receive medical services from this source.

Note VI. NONMOWETARY INCOME FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN PUBLIC AID About two-fifths of the families had nonmonetary income from pri¬ vate sources (table 12). Living quarters and food comprised the b\ilk of such income. About one-fourth of the families had shelter, owned, pro¬ vided by relatives, or obtained in exchange for services. Some food other than surplus food of the Food Distribution Administration was available without purchase to a fourth of the families. More than 7 percent of the families received clothing, fuel, or other income in kind.

The only appraisals of such income were estimates by the case workers as to whether such income was wor-Dh less than or v/as valued at $5 or more. For soDiewhat more than 1 family in 4 in the 8 States, the nonmonetary income reported had a value of at least $5. The percent of families in each State with nonmonetary income from sources other than public aid valued at $5 or more was as follows: 18/ Private agencies may have been the source of nonmonetary income in some families, but judging by the small amount of cash income from this source it can be assumed that the amount of nonmonetary income from private agencies was negligible. - 29 - Percent State of families Total, 8 States.... 27.7 Arkansas . 52.5 District of Columbia.... 2.5 • Massachusetts . . 3.1 Missouri . 35.7 Montana . 47.4 North Carolina . -43.1 Oklahoma . 13.0 Wisconsin . 37.5 The very small proportions shown for the District of Columbia and Massachusetts, the most urbanized States studied, suggest that such in¬ come is more prevalent in rural States. y VII. SUMMARY In a period when employment was expanding and jobs were open to persons not normally in the labor market, families receiving aid to dependent children in 8 States had an average total cash income for a month of less than $63 for an average family of 4.5. persons, including the childrep for whom aid was planned and others living as a family in the same household. A little more than half of this ^ount came from the ADC payment, the most important single source of income. About 11 percent of the families had no appreciable income other than this assist¬ ance payment. About 3 percent of the total family Income c^e from o^er public aid and about 46 percent from all other sources combined, chiefly earnings. Three-fifths of all families had some income from earnings. In all States except Arkansas and the District of Columbia, a few families received general assistance in the form of commodities or orders on vendors. More than half of the families shared in the Food Stamp Plan or direct distribution of surplus agriciatural products. Other studies have shovm that the value of this aid was fairly substantial. The importance of different types of income and the proportion of total income from public aid and from other sources varied greatly from State to State. This variation is an inevitable consequence not only of differences in State policies and practices but also of differences in family composition, degree of urbanization, and labor market conditions. Wartime economic conditions are reflected in the importance of earnings as a source of income for these families with dependent children. The proportion of families reporting income from earnings ranged from a little less than one-third in Massachusetts to nearly three-fourths in Arkansas and North Carolina. These last two States also had the largest proportion of working mothers. The war has had the effect not only of increasing employment but also of raising living costs. Assistance pay¬ ments, insufficient to meet need in many States because of maximums on payments, low standards of assistance, or inadequate appropriations, have been, in some instances, less adequate as living costs have mounted. The combination of inadequate assistance and rising living costs undoubtedly has forced many mothers to seek employment even when they were needed in the home to care for their children. In such households, earnings were probably received at the expense of the care and supervision of the children. The opportunities offered by a tight labor market for employment of persons not normally employed may not continue indefinitely. If the current demand for labor slackens, unemployment will undoubtedly result for many families with members of low employability. At that time the importance of earnings as a source of income for these families will decline, and more families than at present will probably be entirely de¬ pendent for their livelihood on the assistance payment. - 30 - U.

The statement is , ;ntended to assist in making and interpreting policy for the guidance )f ^v'orkers and in directing staff development. Its purpose is to suggest ' vays in which the objectives of public assistance may be more effectively •ealized in a service rendered to individuals. * Jrder of Presehtation 1 This analysis of service in public assistance is based on the belief ^Ihat an agency is responsible for offering service that meets the essential [; requirements of the task that the agency is set up to perform. - I In public assistance, the primary task of the agency is to provide issistance. This is the practical reason why the public furnishes the [agency with assistance funds and why people in need apply to the jigency. To determine how it must operate to provide assistance properly, Jhe agency must clearly realize the social purposes it is expected to advance, rhe agency and its workers should be able to distinguish these purposes Torn other purposes inconsistent or unconnected with them. The agency nust also appraise the various means it employs to make sure that they are suitable to its purposes and are used in a way that brings about Jie intended result: a helpful service to the people who seek its assistance. For these reasons, this statement, in defining service, examines the imderlying purposes of the Social Security Act in providing grants-in-aid for public assistance and analyzes the responsibility that consequently jEalls upon the agency and its workers in doing the job that is faithful these purposes. ! Underlying the statement is the belief that the agency and its workers mrill find it easier to perform the task of administering assistance to individuals if they are agreed on the purposes for which they are working ind if they can test what they do by its effect in achieving these purposes. Limitation of Presentation The emphasis in this statement has been placed on common minimum JSsentials of service in public assistance administration. It is to be expected Slat as the administration of assistance becomes firmly grounded in agree- aaent on the demands of the job, and as skill develops in satisfying these flemands. the social usefulness of public assistance as a service to vn ■J ■i' individuals will be extended and deepened. Agencies will naturally de-j velop effectivness in service at the pace and to the degree permitteBj by their special conditions and opportunities. Differences in the qualitt of service will result while workers are in the process of learning ti orient themselves to this kind of administration of assistance. An elemenJ tary definition should therefore provide agencies with a means for aw praising the soundness of their service, that is, the extent to whici the ser^'ice is geared to carrying out the basic job of providing publilj assistance. ■1 I I : p I ' a a t ■ f ! ^ 1 a VIII a Purposes of Public Assistance as Program of Social Security Effect on the Agency^s Operation of Its Idea of Its Underlying Purposes The agency^ administering assistance is continually faced with ques¬ tions which it will answer in accordance with its conception of its social purposes. Because individual ideas of the ends to be ser\'ed in providing issistance will vary wddely both inside and outside the agency, it needs to w'ork through the variations of opinion and attitude within its own Staff to secure a social consistency in the formulation, and then in the Individual interpretation and application, of its policies. \^Tien the agency and its staff have arrived at decisions about funda¬ mental purposes, the task of maintaining and strengthening them begins, rhe desired objectives may be difficult to achieve. The conditions hamper¬ ing full achievement are often external. They may include legal restric¬ tions, inadequacy of funds, and lacks or defects in other local w'elfare services. There may be internal problems in the agency’s structure, ad¬ ministrative operation, and stage of staff development. In any case, the igency and its workers must frequently take into account handicapping factors and w'ork out practical adjustments to them. Tlie agency’s current situation may force certain compromises in policy that restrict or partly obscure the underlying social purpose. Because the social purpose does not find full and unmistakable expression in practical policy, the agency is under the more urgent need to create and preserve an understanding of fundamental objectives. There are ;8everal reasons why the agency must cultivate this understanding: (1) to obtain the maximum realization of the positive possibilities within the 'Recognized restrictions in its current policies; (2) to assure unity in administrative direction and consistency in W'ork with clients; (3) to give direction to changes in external and internal conditions that affect practice adversely; and (4) to improve policies that affect the worker’s Opacity for satisfactory performance in assisting people in need. ■ 1 Since few public welfare agencies administer public assistance alone and can therefore properly fie called public assistance agencies, for the sake of brevity the term agency administering assistance, or simply agency, is used in this statement. Public welfare agencies carrying a number of functions may divide them differently under departmental administrations or combine them under one administra¬ tion. These differences may result, in turn, in different combinations of responsibility for workers. This discussion will not attempt to go intb the organization and coordination of different services, )kor will it deal in detail with the basis on which a worker carrying an integrated case load may render both public assistance and other functional services to the client at the same time. For a brief general discussion of this subject, see, however, pp. 28—31. 696972—46—2 1 2 Purpose of Social Security and Its ' Implications for Agency Operations The public stake in protecting the economic security of individual; extends beyond ensuring their physical survival. Well-being in a demo< cratic society must include the individual’s maintenance of his capacity for independent functioning. General security requires that individual be shielded against hazards that may undermine this capacity or thwarl its development. Good public policy demands that opportunity for indi¬ viduals to carry their personal responsibilities be the more carefully safe guarded because these personal responsibilities are of such a nature thal no external organization, public or voluntary, can undertake them will equivalent adequacy and economy. Under the Social Security Act, the purpose of public assistance is tc supply the necessary minimum of economic security to persons in specified groups of the population who lack resources of their own to meet then essential needs. Since the well-being of the community depends on th( well-being of its individual members, the agency, in furnishing assistance to people unable to support themselves, is serving at one and the same time the welfare of these individuals and the welfare of the genera! public of which they are a part. This concept of social security has practical usefulness for the agency It provides a positive and stable position from which to deal with contra dictory ideas about the purpose that should determine the agency’s cours< in a given situation. This definition of social security disposes of th( conflict often assumed to exist between the essential welfare of the genera l group and the essential welfare of particular members. If the basic interests of the community and the basic interests of the individual are properl) defined, they are not at odds, and the agency can have an inner assurancs that in serving the good of the individual it is also serving the good o: society. The purpose of social security gives the agency an active, constructs function in providing assistance: to employ every available resource o; its own and to furnish access to every available resource in the com i munity needed and desired by the individual to maintain and improvi i his independent command of his situation. This aim requires that th( : agency make assistance available to all who can be proved eligible and i in addition, make this assistance as sufficient to their need as is possibh within the agency’s legal sanctions and financial ability. The agency’i ' objective includes preservation of the values that accrue to society fron the individual’s attaining and conserving his maximum capacity' anc opportunity for self-direction. Effectiveness of administration can there j fore be measured by the degree to which it allows the individual t< , 3 move under his own power and to manage his own personal and social relationships. Statutory Basis for the Right to Assistance Associated with the objectives of social security and reinforcing them are two major operating purposes: (1) to administer assistance as a right, and (2) to achieve social fairness and dependability in the dis¬ tribution of funds to individuals. Three provisions of the Social Security Act furnish a definite statutory basis for administering assistance as a right. The requirement that the individual have an opportunity for a fair hearing establishes his claim on the agency for a review of its proceed¬ ings when he is dissatisfied with its decisions. This right to appeal enables the individual to challenge the factual basis on which the agency has operated in his case and the validity of its judgments. Eligibility requirements thus acquire a distinct and tangible value for the individual by providing the ground on which he can hold the agency responsible under the law and regulation for the action it has taken on his appli¬ cation or in determining his payment. The provision restricting the agency’s use of information about the individual to the purpose of serving him establishes another aspect of his right. His affairs may not become public property, nor his personal status or his welfare be damaged by disclosures about them. His business with the agency remains his private business, and the agency is obligated to respect it as such. The provision for payment of assistance in money recognizes that once the agency has determined his eligibility and the amount of his payment, the money belongs to the individual. He is free to decide for himself, on his own responsibility, how he will spend it, and having spent it, he is free of any obligation to account for his use of it. The provision of the act requiring the establishment of methods for proper and efficient operation has played an indirect part in strengthening and extending the meaning of the right implicit in the three provisions mentioned above. Efficiency in administration naturally demands con¬ sistency throughout administration and therefore makes all of administra¬ tion responsible for respecting and safeguarding the right to assistance in its various implications. Implications of the Right to Assistance for Eligibility Determination ^ The right to assistance implied in the provisions for fair hearing, ‘protection of confidential information, and the money payment gives support to basic elements in social security. The fair hearing safeguards 4 the material claim of those who are eligible for assistance and, in addition, their claim to the full amount of assistance due them under the agency’s defined policies. The other provisions safeguard the social claim of people in need to protection of their private status and to personal free¬ dom in spending their money. The right to assistance is, however, con¬ ditional on meeting eligibility requirements. It therefore depends on the way in which eligibility is determined. To meet its responsibility for administering assistance as a right, the agency must bring eligibility determination under objective controls, defining the conditions binding on the individual in obtaining assistance and on itself in disbursing assistance. In defining these conditions, the agency is fixing and limiting the nature and scope of its legitimate concern in what the individual does in his individual situation. In stating definitely the obligations which the individual must meet to obtain assist¬ ance, the agency is also restricting the demands which it can properly make on him as a recipient. Thus the right to assistance rests on two related and essential conditions, the availability of assistance to eligible persons and the definition of the mutual obligations of the agency and the individuals, it serves. How the Right to Assistance Affects the Relationship Between Agency and Individual The relationship between the agency and the individual that is dictated by the principle of assistance as a right also predicates a series of beliefs about people in need. People in need vary from one another as other people vary. Individuals in need, like most others in the population, usually have a capacity to understand and respect the purposes animating their Government in relation to them and have a similar ability to deal responsibly with that Government. Like the majority of people, individuals in need generally prefer to support themselves unaided and therefore will use any opportunity to lessen or end their dependence on public assistance. Like other people, they ordinarily have both the wish and the capacity to direct their own affairs and manage their personal re¬ sponsibilities, and they do not differ from other human beings in an active and independent concern to improve their living situations and to master problems that interfere with their effective personal functioning. In short, the condition of financial need and dependence does not mark a difference in the kind or quality of people whom it overtakes. Implicit in the views stated above is the belief that people in need possess the same range of differences as the financially independent and have a similar right to these differences. Those with whom the agencv is concerned, however, have certain common characteristics: their need and request for help and other factors that make them eligible for assist- 5 ance. The agency’s requirements are consequently designed to identify them as eligible, and the specific obligations it defines for them will be strictly related to its own need to make sure that it is providing assist¬ ance only to eligible persons. The agency establishes its relationship with individuals on a basis that enables them to know what they can expect from it and what it expects from them, and it endeavors to supply assist¬ ance adequate to their need. These proceedings have a special virtue in releasing and stimulating the motives that usually animate people to assume responsibility for their own lives. The agency’s course is directed by its responsibility to see that the right to assistance acquires meaning and value to each individual. To make such a relationship possible and socially effective, the individual’s use of any service of the agency must be voluntary, shaped by his own conscious choice and by his independent decision to bring about some modification in his situation. The agency’s service in administering assist¬ ance should be directed toward enabling the individual to find and act on his own incentives, to better his condition, and to provide him with whatever help within its reach is necessary to achieve this end. To develop the values implicit in the right to assistance, the agency and its workers give up activities that regulate his relationships or entail super¬ vision of his affairs. Such activities undermine the individual’s ability to function self-responsibly and to assert his own intelligence and initiative in ordering his personal life. Fairness and Dependability in the Administration of Assistance The agency’s responsibility for giving reality to the right to assist¬ ance makes dependability a dominant objective in disbursing assistance efficiently. To provide assistance to different individuals in different cir¬ cumstances on a basis that is fair and reliable, the agency governs its administration by law, principle, and policy. Policy is the agency’s practical instrument — ii 1. For seeing that people in similar circumstances actually receive similar treatment from their government; 1^ 2. For acquainting all individuals who deal with the agency with what ^ it can do for them in their specific situation and under what con- K ditions and on what terms its assistance can be provided; ■ 3. For placing at each worker’s command the agency’s guides for pro- jt ceeding surely at points of doubt or difficulty in individual situations; 4. For furnishing each worker with knowledge indispensable to action ft that can be sustained by the agency; and K 5. For assuring that its business in each case is conducted in such a 6 way that the agency, as an office of government, can account for.^ what it has done and submit its actions to impartial scrutiny. Policy is used in the agency’s operation to bulwark the agency’s purpose in administering assistance as a right in the following ways: 1. To enable the person in need to find out what his right to assistance is; 1 2. To serve as a source of clear and reliable information for the individual; 3. To help the worker recognize the individual’s stake in exercising his right by — a. Permitting him to know and meet responsibly the requirements ^ and condition on which eligibility rests, and b. Giving him a ground for holding the agency to its obligation if he questions its decisions; and 4. To provide the agency with a necessary foundation for fulfilling its responsibility to the public by — ^ a. Explaining the basis on which need is currently met, and b. Indicating the value and defects of the agency’s present means of supplying assistance. Even though policy has the general value of achieving dependability in administering assistance, any specific policy may be socially or admin¬ istratively defective. Understanding of the social uses for which all policy is intended enables the agency’s staff to make existent policy work to the maximum advantage and yet to be critically aware of its deficiencies. Testing what it is doing against its social purposes helps to assure progres- i sive development of policy in the agency. Through this method, the agency can continue striving for whatever changes in internal or external conditions are necessary to improve its usefulness. Summary The underlying purposes of public assistance as a social security pro¬ gram prescribe for the agency what it must do if the result is to be a service to individuals in need: The individual should be enabled to meet his essential needs prompt¬ ly and adequately, through the money payment and through help in obtaining, from other sources within or outside the agency, supplemen¬ tary means and other services that are necessary to his physical and social welfare. People in need should have appropriate opportunity to strengthen, : recover, or develop their personal capacities so that they may lead | self-directing and self-sufficient lives within any inevitable limitations i of a personal or environmental nature. 7 The agency should develop methods of administration that permit its clients to maintain their personal status in a manner consistent with the central purposes involved in providing assistance as a right. I Service may include various kinds of help in meeting various types of needs that are related to the necessity for obtaining and living on assistance. The distinctive characteristics of this seryice derive from the right to assistance. It is necessary, therefore, to differentiate this service {rom other services that may be rendered in the public welfare agency t>r in voluntary agencies, such as those deriving from authoritative and protective functions. Service in Public Assistance i Administration ^ Eligibility Determination as the Base for Public Assistance Service In administering assistance as a right, the agency has to take into account an essential but complicating feature: the right must be established by meeting certain terms defined by law and policy. Since eligibility! establishes the individual’s right, the processes through which eligibility! is determined have primary importance both for the agency and for th« people who request or receive assistance. The right to assistance has! reality only insofar as eligibility determination is conducted with accuracy, | fairness, and social judgment. To make that right an actuality, the agency: and its workers must develop full understanding of what is required ofj them for the proper handling of initial and continuing determination ofj eligibility. The actual claim to assistance as well as the amount of the payment depends on combinations of circumstance that differ from individual to individual. For any individual, these combinations of circumstance are also subject to change from time to time. Agency policy furnishes genera guides for workers, but workers must still carry responsibility for seeing] how general policies apply to the specific circumstances of specific appli-| cants. Determination of eligibility therefore cannot be satisfactorily perj formed through routine procedures. Financial and other needs cannot be expected to remain fixed in kind or degree. Therefore, concern witll eligibility cannot be limited to an isolated series of procedures and toi periodic reviews and recalculations. i|| The significance which eligibility holds for the agency does not end wit6 these material aspects of the right to assistance. The individual’s potenti» or actual eligibility is the indispensable practical foundation on which thi relationship between him and the agency rests. His maintenance and us^ of his eligibility status are bound up with the changing course of hi circumstances, relationships, and events and with what he needs and want to do in managing them. Bound up in his eligibility are the vital an< varied considerations about which his business with the agency and thi agency’s business with him continue to revolve. The agency’s service o; granting assistance, therefore, can be enriched and deepened by the wai in which it determines initial and continuing eligibility and handles re lated requests. 8 9 In determining eligibility, the agency and its workers have responsi¬ bility for enabling each individual to — 1. Establish his eligibility promptly and obtain all the assistance avail¬ able to him in his specific circumstances; 2. Conduct his relations with the agency under conditions that permit him to exercise his full right to assistance and to meet the specific obligations through which the right must be maintained; 3. Have opportunity, throughout his contact with the agency, to know ! what other resources and services for meeting his individual needs are available within other programs of the public welfare agency i and in the community, and to utilize these as his individual necessity and desire indicate. In practice, the reliable determination of initial and continuing eligibility calls for a process of collaboration between the agency worker and the individual. Through the worker the agency must supply the individual with information and guidance about ^vhat needs to be done. The individual, in his turn, must supply the worker with facts or access to facts on which decisions may then be based. Agency and individual are thus dependent on each other for practical knowledge and reliable action in their related jspheres of responsibility. Since the process of eligibility determination jrequires intelligent activity from the individual, the agency must provide him with an objective basis for carrying out his part in the process as effectively as possible. To give him the help that is necessary, it is importairt to see what his difficulties are likely to be in taking on his proper role in relation to the agency. The Individual’s Problem in Establishing Eligibility Certain natural disabilities may seriously hamper the applicant in estab¬ lishing his claim to assistance. In many instances his practical hold on his own affairs has been weakened by an increasing lack or sudden loss of essential resources, and he has a sense of helplessness and failure in irunning his owm affairs. He is often beset by fears that his need may hot be understood or accepted as legitimate. He may think that he will have to submit to humiliating and socially disturbing procedures or that |he may be forced to surrender control over his own manner of living. He I usually has little knowdedge of how the agency proceeds, or w^hat its 'reasons are for its particular proceedings with him, or w'hat it can do for him or wdll expect from him. The agency’s necessar}' inquiries enter jinto various phases of his private life that involve or are involved in his 'finances^ — his household management, his relations with his immediate family and relatives, and his personal living arrangements. These are matters affecting him so intimately that without help he may not succeed in pre¬ senting a realistic picture of his situation. To qualify for assistance under 696972— 4 e— 3 the agency’s conditions and standards or to live on the amount of assist-^ ance available, he may have to make various changes in his plan or scale; of living, and this prospect may further upset his hope of keeping any^ grasp on his affairs. In addition, problems arise for any individual in becoming dependent on an external agency for all or part of his subsistence. Normally, for the independent person, control over his financial economy is the basis on which he determines and meets his own needs, manages his affairs, and conducts his personal and social relationships. When the agency becomes an active factor in this financial economy, its operation affects the struc¬ ture on which the rest of the individual’s existence depends. Because public assistance can supply only an established minimum, money is bound to i be a more immediate factor in every part of the life of recipients than of persons who have a financial margin. Agency control over his means of subsistence may therefore disturb or overthrow the individual’s habitual basis for management. A correspondingly greater responsibility falls on the agency to forestall this turn of events and to make it possible for the individual to assert his powers of doing for himself, making his own decisions, and devising his own plans. The aim of the agency is to enable the individual to use its assistance in a plan of living that is determined by his particular circumstances and interests. It must therefore help him to find an accommodation to its i mode of operation that permits him to work with it to this end. To ; extend this help, the agency must realize that its organized, systematic proceedings are very different from those an individual would follow in appraising and trying to solve his own financial problems. The scope of the agency’s concern in the individual’s affairs and the restrictions on its assistance may seem to leave him with little or no room for using his practical judgment and initiative. To be helpful to the client in main¬ taining or regaining his self-control, the agency should be aware of the possibility that his feelings about his need for assistance and about the agency’s position of economic control are factors that may hamper him in assuming an active role in dealing with his affairs. An essential remedy for these difficulties lies in the w'orker’s undertaking to make the agency’s role intelligible to him. i To deal planfully with the agency, the individual must have an oppor¬ tunity to understand the considerations that determine its specific acts ; and decisions in his case, the financial reliance he can place on the I agency, and the requirements he must meet in order to maintain his relation to it. The individual needs this definite understanding so that he can choose and plot his course with aw'areness of the possibilities and responsibility for consequences. He needs it also to discover concretely 11 i how a way of living that will be feasible from his point of view can be managed within the scheme through ^v'hich the agency provides assist¬ ance. The service performed by the worker in providing this under¬ standing has a crucial value in enabling the individual to deal with the agency itself as a comprehensible and reliable factor in his economy, that is, as the instrument through which his need may be met as a matter of right. Explaining Eligibility Requirements The first and basic need of the individual is for a simple and practical explanation that makes it possible for him to understand the agency’s eligibility requirements as they apply to him. This explanation furnishes the ground on which he can enter into an active, self-reliant relationship with the agency. In developing explanation as an interviewing skill essential to its service, the agency transforms a one-sided investigation of the individual’s circumstances into a joint enterprise in which he is recognized as an indispensable direct partner. As the agency’s workers acquire proficiency in this distinctive skill, inquiry into the individual’s eligibility ceases to be an investigation conducted about and around him as an inert object that is without interest and responsibility. Instead, responsibility for establishing eligibility is shared with him to the limit of his capacity. In the application interview, the worker should make plain that in proving eligibility the individual is establishing his right and should also inform him from point to point what he may expect the agency to do as its conditions are met. If the individual is obviously ineligible according to his own clear state¬ ment, the need that has prompted him to make inquiry or request assist¬ ance imposes an obligation on the worker to indicate other resources within or outside the agency in which he may be interested, as well as to inform him of the circumstances that make him ineligible. Before con- , eluding that he is obviously ineligible, however, the worker should be careful to distinguish fact from unjustified assumptions, such as an assump¬ tion that he should be able to earn what he needs or that his relatives should support him. When the applicant is not needy according to the agency’s standards, the worker’s review of his circumstances with him may occasionally reveal that he could relieve or meet his particular difficulty i by using other resources or services in the community for which he may be eligible. If the individual is potentially eligible, the worker is responsible for explaining each factor affecting his eligibility, the facts necessary to establish it, and the means by which he may most readily obtain proof. ; It is important to recognize that applicants vary in their ability to follow detailed discussion. The worker who is concerned with making the 12 individual’s right accessible to him will be sensitive to difficulties. For example an individual may be unable to give attention because he has delayed application until his need has become critical and he is deeply, distressed. If the worker is able to identify this anxiety, discussion of J emergency assistance or referral to a community resource for temporary | aid may relieve the applicant so that he can put his mind on the I application process. Another person’s difficulty in producing information ^ may be indecision and reluctance in pursuing his application, and he i may want time to reconsider his situation. Another person may not , volunteer information because he thinks that he can have little part : to play in the agency’s inquiry into his circumstances. In interviewing 'i him, the worker will make clear that the agency customarily obtains 1 necessary facts from or through applicants and will make sure to consult him on all points in which there may be questions of choice. The applicant ^ should have an opportunity to know whether the facts so far given or • obtained are meeting the agency’s requirements and whether the meaning .j they have for the agency agrees with his understanding of his situation. | If he is found to be eligible but believes that the amount of his pay- 1 ment is less than he needs or is entitled to, he should have an opportunity | for further explanation of the basis of the payment. He should also be i informed of any resources or services in the community that might enable i him to supplement the money payment and meet needs for which he | wants attention. If he wishes to appeal any action of the agency, he I should be aided in doing so. Value to the Individual in ^ Understanding Eligibility Requirements ) Development of skill in interviewing applicants is essential. If harsh eligibility lequirements and low standards are part of the reality that the applicant confronts in seeking assistance, it is the more important f" that the agency’s workers give him a foothold for coping with these } difficulties as effectively as possible. Even when the agency’s circum- stances are favorable and the conditions to be met in establishing eligibility ^ are fair, it is essential that he know what conditions apply specifically to him, why the agency is obliged or chooses to lay down these conditions, and what it can do for him if and when he meets the conditions. From the information he gains about the agency’s eligibility require¬ ments as the workers tells him of the concrete steps required of him, the applicant may begin to understand that once he accomplishes what is necessary he acquires a definite position in relation to the agency that, is built on his eligibility. He sees that he can hold the agency responsible for what it does under its rules and standards just as it can hold him to his obligations. He knows what he is expected to do and that what 13 is expected of him is expected of all others in the same general circum¬ stances. He can deal with the worker in a businesslike way not unlike the ways familiar to him in other transactions in which, to get what he wants, he expects to meet terms. When he knows that the worker is bound by official requirements and policies, he realizes that he does not have to rely on the voluntary good will and judgment of another individual for the essentials of life and that he has not become subject to a person who has uncontrolled power to give or deny him assistance. Explaining Policy and Procedure in Eligibility Determination The worker may discover from the applicant’s questions or suspect from his behavior that he does not understand or accept the agency’s policies and procedures for establishing eligibility and for determining the amount of the assistance payment. If so, it may be necessary to explain further exactly how a particular factor affects the individual’s eligibility or the amount of his payment, or to make clear why the agency requires the particular information from persons in his circumstances. The individual may feel that the condition in question is unnecessary in his case, but even when he does, the opportunity to understand the general purpose of the condition frequently results in his accepting it as protection of a public interest in which he, as a member of the com¬ munity, also shares. Occasionally an applicant will object to some step in the process that is unavoidable in his particular case. For example, the agency may require that relatives be sought out and asked to support him, and he may decide to interrupt his application until he can decide Avhether he will agree to this requirement. In such instances, it is im¬ portant that the worker be able to identify his reservation and to respect his feeling about it, so that he may discover that the agency recognizes his full right to decide for himself whether he can accept the rules under which the agency must operate. Discussing Choices Under Agency Policy and Procedure Since the intent of the agency is to enable the applicant to pursue his own plan of living, the worker should inform the applicant of any latitudes or alternatives under agency policy or procedure that may bear on his choice of a course of action. For example, the old-age recipient who needs physical care may not know that the agency provides assistance for sheltered care; the applicant for aid to dependent children may not know tliat an older child who has been brought up by his grandmother may be eligible for aid in the grandmother’s home. The applicant should also have as much voice as possible in determining how procedures are to be carried out, especially when his family relation¬ ships or his status with other persons ip the community are at stake 14 or his privacy is involved. If the applicant’s stake is to be properly con¬ sidered, the worker must be able to define for him the specific facts needed from outside sources. Knowing what these are, he has less reason j to fear that personal opinions are being sought from his intimates or acquaintances or that his private life is being investigated. In addition, when he learns the purpose of such procedures, he may be able to make suggestions that save effort or time, or to devise feasible ways for ac¬ complishing the necessary objective and protecting his legitimate personal ; interests. In accordance with the agency’s concern to take the individual into account as an active collaborator, the worker will give the applicant an opportunity to consider such questions as how an absent father or other legally responsible relatives may best be approached or how informa¬ tion on earnings should be obtained. Among the alternatives that may require such attention is that of the spouse’s giving directly certain kinds of information or having a part in deciding some question that arises in the interview. This issue is usually more than an issue of procedure and may entail regard for the usual roles of different members of the family. In aid to dependent children cases, for example, there may be need to provide opportunities for both the mother and the father to participate in decisions. Understanding the Meaning of Dependency in Dealing With the Applicant For the average person, financial independence constitutes an essen¬ tial title to self-esteem and the respect of others. This independence estab- I lishes his individual adequacy in the realm of work, in his family role, in his neighborhood, and in his relations with relatives and friends. His capacity to provide for himself has given him freedom to pursue his : preferences, to select the duties he will emphasize and those he will minimize, to give importance to certain needs and problems, and to endure or ignore others. In brief, economic self-suflSciency, however marginal or uncertain, is for most individuals a necessary sanction for independent judgment and action. They count on their capacity to meet their own needs as a protection against outside interference with their private living. If an individual is to be free to act in his own behalf, he must be assured that the worker accepts him as a person with the ability and the right to think for himself. To grasp the part such assurance must play in helping the individual to regain an independent footing, the worker must understand the position into which he has been forced by; his need of assistance, and the power over him that this seems to him to give the representative of the agency on which he must now depend. However self-respecting he has been, his need to apply for assistance marks a loss of status because of the value commonly placed on economic' ..t ii 15 self-sufficiency. On the other hand, the individual’s own sense of the mean¬ ing of financial independence, if that meaning is not dulled by inadequate ’ assistance and disturbing experiences with the agency, may be counted ; on to motivate him to recover insofar as he can the capacity to satisfy his own wants. Assistance itself, however liberal, is no substitute for the personal advantages of having one’s owm resources. Therefore, if assist- ' ance is to serve its social purposes, workers must take responsibility for ! recognizing in their dealings with individuals the capacities for action and judgment that are shaken by the loss of independence. It is only as people in need discover, through their experience with the agency, that they can still think and act for themselves, that they retain full incentive to master their situations, in whatever ways and to whatever degree their specific circumstances of age, health, and abilities permit. Providing Opportunity for the Applicant To Take Responsibility In administering assistance as a right, it becomes a matter of prime importance that the worker does not take from the individual his re¬ sponsibility for conducting his part in his business with the agency. The worker’s task is to make it clear in w'ords and behavior that the agency recognizes that the applicant’s affairs remain his own and that responsi¬ bility for decisions about them is ultimately his. The worker may show steady interest in and respect for the applicant’s capacity to do for him¬ self without discounting the need the particular individual may have for help in obtaining certain facts or documentary evidence. Judgment is required of the worker in estimating the physical and mental capacity of the individual to do some of the necessary things effectively and promptly, i The worker needs to determine with the individual what responsibility he can take for obtaining proof or investigating potential resources or j settling questions that may affect his arrangement and the agency’s assist- i ance. Planning the tasks to be performed and allocating responsibility ■ for them serve a positive purpose. The applicant has a chance to take practical hold of his role in the process and to choose what he will do rfor himself and Avhat help he will accept from the agency. Moreover, Phis sense of responsibility is strengthened by a proceeding that accepts I him as a trustworthy and self-sufficient person. Respecting the Individual as a Factor in \ Eligibility Determination f Respect for individuals is founded on the worker’s capacity to accept I individual differences and to control prejudiced reactions to them. The [ differences may be those of national origin, color, religious belief, or ' economic background, or they may be more individual in nature. Respect I for the applicant requires that his peculiar feelings, ideas, standards, be- 16 havior, and relationships be accepted as natural and reasonable for him. This disciplined attitude is necessary if the worker is to recognize each individual’s particular capacities and his right to protect his personal status and integrity from injury. Thus what the applicant feels or thinks is not open to criticism or in need of justification. The accurate and fair performance of eligibility determination often hinges on the worker’s development of a capacity to respect the individual j in his differences. The worker’s attitudes may directly affect the reliability 1 of the facts on which decisions are based, the understanding the individual J gains of the agency, or the recognition of a problem with which he ^ needs practical help. The worker’s expression of her real respect for , the applicant as a person will be an important factor in his recognition j of his right to express his own feelings or to ask that they be given , whatever consideration is possible under the agency’s policies. i The worker’s ability to maintain a discipline over personal reactions ! and prejudices is frequently put to the test. The applicant may belong || to a community group that live in severe poverty. If the worker therefore | concludes that his standards are inherently low and that he would not j use assistance to raise his level of living, she will tend automatically to exclude certain aspects of need from the inquiry. Another applicant may ) demand unusual concessions to personal tastes and preferences. If the j worker thinks such behavior unsuitable in one who is dependent, the ! result may be a failure to see what provision the agency may properly ■ make for what is special in the applicant’s need. If the worker is antagonized | by a mother’s complaint that she is tired of struggling for her children, * she may fail to explain the various arrangements under which aid to ■ i dependent children might be provided. An old-age applicant may greet i the mention of each step in the process with immediate protest. If the Avorker does not overcome annoyance at this belligerence, interpretation of agency requirements and policies will go by the board. i On the other hand, when workers respect the feelings of individuals, the service they render may include help in meeting the difficulty that • sometimes arises out of the conflict between those feelings and the policies j of the agency. The following case is an example of service in the ad¬ ministration of public assistance: j A disturbed young woman applied for aid to dependent children, j She had secretly had an illegitimate child 2 years before and had left j her mother to take responsibility for him from the time of his birth. 1 Now her mother was dead, and her sister would send the child to her ! unless she found some place to put him. She wanted the agency to , ! board the child somewhere and relieve her of the danger that others | would discover the irregularity in her past. The worker explained ■ to her the purposes for which aid to dependent children is intended and : told her briefly what the agency’s requirements were. I 17 The applicant became extremely upset. She could not permit any inquiry, nor could she afford to spend any of her money on the child. She had to protect her position in this community that had become home to her. No one knew that she had a baby except the doctor and several members of her family. Whatever happened, no one was going to know. When the young woman became calmer, the worker told her that it was difficult to see what could be done under these conditions, but discussed with her the possibility of applying to a child-placement agency. The applicant was momentarily interested in this suggestion but re¬ jected it because sbe could not risk any further disclosure. The child was a stranger to her; though she knew that she owed him something, she could not allow her future to be ruined. The worker remarked that the applicant had taken a risk in coming to this agency when she might have thought of some other way of disposing of the child. At this point the applicant wept bitterly. Even though she wanted to get rid of the .child, she could not quite bring herself to abandon him: after all, he was her child and it was not his fault that he was born. When her tears subsided, the worker said that the applicant’s problem was to find out what she could do with the child without too much cost to him or herself. After a pause, the applicant asked the worker to repeat all that she had previously told about foster-home placement and adoption. When she had thought over what might reasonably be required of her by the child-placement agency, she remarked that she would have to face it; probably her fears were exaggerated; this talk with the worker made her realize that she did not want to throw the baby away, and she would go to the placement agency and see whether he could be considered for adoption. In this situation, help was founded on the worker’s ability to control personal reactions to the young woman’s behavior and, after identifying I the applicant’s conflicting purposes, to furnish her with a practical basis pfor deciding what she would do. \Concern for the Individual in His Relationships W- The agency and its workers must see that applicants are not handi¬ capped in making decisions and choices that they need to recognize as ■ their own if they are to remain accountable for the conduct of their affairs. Because the conditions under which assistance is given may affect the individual’s relationships and those relationships may play a part in 'increasing or decreasing the need to be met by assistance, the agency carries a heavy responsibility for its influence on this phase of his welfare. The agency is confronted with the problem of determining how, under requirements and restrictions that affect personal and family relationships, its proceedings with individuals may be so conducted as to give them all possible choices. It is not within the province of the agency or its workers to determine whether a mother should keep or place her child, an absent 4 18 father return to his family, an old-age applicant live with or apart from a spouse, a widow marry a man who is unable and unwilling to support her children. The agency’s responsibility is for its requirements, policies, and standards as they relate to the objective conditions under which assistance may be obtained. In situations like those above, the agency should enable its workers ^ to make clear to individuals how its policies bear on their specific problems and affect the choices open to them. In all proceedings involving 1 personal and family relationships, the crucial element to be safeguarded by the agency is the individual’s responsibility for decision wherever J actual room for decision exists. In short, the decision must be made by '! the individual and not by the agency worker. In such situations, the ‘ obligation of the agency is to define where the agency will stand on points that the individual should take into account in weighing alternatives. If the agency provides the means to its workers, they may use explanation of conditions and policies to give the individual an opportunity to compare : advantages and disadvantages in different plans and to balance personal ‘i desires against practical consequences. | An applicant for aid to dependent children was taken into her par- | ents’ household when her husband became ill. Her husband has died, j i and her parents are willing to help her by letting her remain with ! them rent-free. She would prefer, however, to relinquish this resource ; if any other arrangement is possible because her overindulgent parents do not allow her to discipline her boys and, in effect, deprive her of . parental control. When she learns that the agency would not expect her to use this resource under these conditions, her problem is to find out whether, under a maximum that will make part-time work necessary, she can make other living arrangements that will ensure supervision for the children. Her course is marked by practical calculations based on information about what the agency can do under differing circum¬ stances, and her eventual decision is her own. An applicant for old-age assistance whose health has been failing and who can no longer safely live alone does not wish to enter an institution. The daughter who might take him into her home cannot give him the attention he needs and also continue the part-time job through which she is keeping her son in high school. Information about the financial provision the agency could make for his personal care if he entered her home provides him with ground for seeing what rearrangement his daughter can make. Realism in administration requires that the agency recognize that the ' amount of its assistance is a basic and conditioning element in its service, affecting the capacity of adults to maintain their roles in the family and the chance of children and youth to have the care and oppor- ; tunities necessary at their stage of development. The willingness and capacity of the recipient to make full use of the agency’s service are likely 19 j to depend on the extent to which his financial need is met. The agency’s ability to meet financial need may therefore determine the kind and i quality of the agency’s service. The agency should not remain content with efforts to make up through other kinds of help of its own or of other services for difficulties that would be more effectively met or would not arise at ail if the money- payment were adequate. In aid to dependent children, for example, adequate assistance should provide for the need of parents, for it is their place in the life of the child that the program is designed to preserve and strengthen. When the mother is compelled to work for essential income, the care and supervision she can give the children are ordinarily limited and her relationships with them may be subjected to undesirable strains. When the money payment does not provide for the needs of the incapaci¬ tated father, he suffers not only the loss of his wage-earning role and the hardships of his illness but also the sense of burdening his family with his unmet needs without power to change their situation or his own. In such circumstances, the inadequacy of assistance permits relation¬ ships within the family to be distorted and prejudices the chance of the father to come to positive terms with his incapacity. When assistance is insufficient, parents are unable to give their children what they need for later competition with their fellows and for escape from the hazards of a marginal existence. When older children are forced to contribute a large percentage of their earnings to the family exchequer, the natural impulse toward emancipation may be unwholesomely checked or stimu¬ lated and their feelings for their family may be alienated. Range of Individual Needs Individuals who come to the agency have a wide range of needs. One frequent source of need is physical and mental illness or defect. Special needs of the aged result from the waning of their strength and capacity, the narrowing circle of their contemporary relatives and friends, and their desire to maintain their patterns of independence and self-direction despite itheir infirmities. In families applying for aid to dependent children, Iwhen a parent has died or is absent or has become incapacitated, the changes in parental roles and responsibilities give rise to a variety of 'special needs. These shifts in family relationships create problems both for the adults and for the children, who are often deprived of a previously sustaining relationship and lose as well some measure of the supervision [and care to which they were accustomed from the other parent, el i In undertaking to meet special needs, the agency should again be aware that the practical usefulness of assistance provision will be proportionate to the adequacy of the money payment to meet basic needs. If recipients are at a loss to obtain Basic necessities, they may have to divert money 20 requested for special needs to pay the rent or grocery bill. Insufficiency of assistance for elementary needs may also make it impossible for the individual to profit from special services to which the agency provides access. Continuing instability in his financial affairs may impede him in organizing himself and in mobilizing the energy required to work out other problems in his situation. People requesting or receiving public assistance may need various kinds of medical and psychiatric care, special physical appliances and j jequipment, psychological examinations and diagnosis, special diets, vocation¬ al rehabilitation. They may require specialized services for help in child training and care, housekeeping techniques, behavior difficulties, educational problems and plans, vocational guidance and training, employment and recreation. Some common individual needs, such as needs for health care, j are specific to particular situations. Other needs are special in the sense that they involve use of highly specialized resources and services and may demand from the worker specialized knowledge of facilities and special j planning. If, because of the agency’s financial limitations, the worker cannot provide the resources or services that are needed and desired j by the individual, the worker is under an obligation to help him to . locate any available agency or source from which they may be obtained. I The worker is responsible for acquainting the individual with the existence of specialized resources and services of whose purpose and possible use¬ fulness to him he might not otherwise know. In addition, the worker is under an obligation to give the individual any help he may require in applying properly for them. Responsibility for Identifying Special Needs In many cases the individual feels no necessity or desire for service to meet special needs or, if he does, is capable of asking for what he wants or of getting it on his own initiative. On the other hand, the applicant does not always know what the agency is able to do. His difficulty may be of a sort unfamiliar to his experience, or he may be so used to it that he does not define it as a need or problem for which help may be obtained. The worker, therefore, bears an active responsi¬ bility for observing indications of special needs and for bringing them up for sufficient discussion to discover whether the individual is interested in them and wants some help in meeting them. Skill in identifying needs for which the individual may require special resources or services rests on several factors. Primary among these is the importance which the agency and its workers attach to the process of eligibility determination. In the different considerations embraced in eligibility, workers are dealing particularly with the vital meanings of need to the individual. When workers realize that the fundamentals of 21 the individual’s living are affected by assistance, they are bound to be sensitive to problems with which he may need special kinds of help. An old-age assistance applicant refers to dizzy spells as a reason for decreasing ability to support himself by odd jobs. In discussing his needs, he does not mention medical care. He has not been in the habit of consulting a doctor and, in his losing struggle to remain independent, he has had neither the energy nor the freedom of mind to consider his health. When the worker asks whether he has gone or wishes to go to a doctor, his response is casual and indifferent. He must straighten out his financial affairs before he can attend to anything else. The worker’s responsibility, however, is to let him know that the agency does take care of medical needs or that it can refer him to a source that does provide them, if and when he so desires. A father applies for aid to dependent children on the eve of going to a hospital for an indefinite period. He explains that he should have gone a year ago, and that he is still uncertain about remaining any ' length of time. Neither he nor his wife can bear the thought of his ‘ separation from the family. The worker realizes that it is important E! to discuss the possibility of the family’s visiting him at the hospital and the possible need for money for transportation. She also notes the father’s anxiety about the welfare of his wife and children. The ,| interview' is planned to provide him with opportunity to satisfy himself I that in his absence both he and his wife can count on the agency for practical consideration of need and a reliable interest in enabling -• the wife to meet it, \^Tien w'orkers recognize their responsibility for helping the applicant to obtain assistance, they wdll be interested in the meaning of the applicant’s situation. This interest will make it possible for them to proceed freely in identifying possible needs and in examining with the applicant what he himself wants to do about them. , A mother who has had a serious operation can no longer support her two children. She applies for aid to dependent children. The w orker i notes that this young woman has had great pride in not depending on " anyone in providing for her children and that she carefully cuts down be every estimate she offers. When the worker visits the home, the mother ,ti has just finished a large washing and seems exhausted by a task beyond i her strength. The worker comments that there has been no discussion j of the need for laundry or other domestic services, and explains that ™ it is the agency’s practice to recognize the cost of such services when a health condition such as hers requires them. The applicant hesitates, I.’ and then says that if the agency does this for other people, it would be sensible for her to have her laundry and heavy cleaning done until jj she is well enough to do them herself. ,5, The workers may observe evidence of severe malnutrition in children; ij the apparent deafness of a girl who is not doing well in school; the i unsuitability of a third-floor furnished room for an old-age recipient i w'ith cardiac disease; or the need for recreation for children of parents 22 whose health limits their capacity to furnish the youngsters with occupa¬ tion or pastimes. If the purposes for which assistance is intended in the individual case are being fulfilled, the responsibility of the worker to identify needs and inform the applicant of available provisions for them should be progressively lightened. The individual will have been enabled to deter¬ mine what his own needs are, to take the initiative in bringing them up, and to decide for himself with which of them he wishes to concern him¬ self. The worker cannot presume to make these decisions for him, but at the start she should take the initiative in letting the individual know what resources and services the agency can put at his disposal. Defining the Conditions and Obligations of Continuing Eligibility The application process should include explanation to the individual of the conditions to be met in maintaining continuing eligibility. This explanation should be made at a time and in a way that permits the individual to consider these conditions as definitions of the obligations of all recipients in circumstances similar to his, in accordance with the public purpose in providing assistance. Agency and individual continue in a partnership directed by a concern to keep assistance and other elements in the agency’s service accurately adjusted to the facts of need and in line with the agency’s policies. The agency should therefore define for its workers the conditions about which the individual should be informed and some agreement reached with him. These conditions will cover the various kinds of changes to be reported by the recipient because of their bearing on his eligibility and the amount of his payment. The agency will also include its general requirements, such as for periodic review, information about the current physical condition of the incapacitated individual, and the acceptance of employment if physically able. The more complete the information given the applicant, the more effective it wall be in defining for him the nature of his relationship to the agency. Knowing that he has both rights and obligations in con¬ nection with the agency enables the individual to maintain the self-respect that is a basic element in personal security. The agency’s definition of his role assures him that he will not forfeit the responsibilities and privileges that belong to the independent status. Instead the agency recognizes that as a self-directing person he has a right to know what commitments ha is assuming in receiving assistance, where he stands, and what moves he is free to make. It is then possible for him to see his new position in practical terms and use his own resourcefulness to improve it. The value to the individual of knowing his rights and. obligation!' as a recipient of assistance does not end with an initial determination ol 23 •eligibility and the receipt of a payment but continues as long as his need continues. Agency and recipient have to reckon with change as a persisting factor in their relationship. The agency’s policies and standards may be modified. Increase in age may render one individual in the house¬ hold eligible and another ineligible for public assistance. Supporting rela¬ tives may marry or die, or their contributions may grow larger or smaller for other reasons. Changes in health may affect the need for assistance. The recipient may wish to make different living arrangements, or he may have more or less capacity to earn income of his own. As he works out a new scheme of living he may want to improve his situation by taking hold of problems that previously he felt compelled to overlook, or he may wish to plan ways in which he might supply some of his own needs, or he may become interested in developing the capacities of his children. If the recipient is to chart his course in a continuing relationship to the agency, and if he is to do this with proper regard for its requirements and for his obligations, he needs to understand what his responsibilities will be under whatever contingencies are likely in his particular situation. Information about his continuing obligations, carefuUy given in advance, equips him to take consequences into account on points in which his seligibility is involved, or to consult the agency to find out what his position would be if he takes this or that step. Knowledge of the differing conditions under which his assistance may be increased or decreased allows him to plan more freely on his own initiative. To the extent that he has accurate understanding from the start of the matters on which he is responsible for reporting to the agency, and of the things he must do periodically to maintain his eligibility, he is helped to differentiate the concerns in which the agency’s interest is involved from those that remain within his independent discretion and choice. Agencies have developed various devices to acquaint the individual both with the general requirements and obligations he is expected to observe and with the changes in his specific situation about which he should inform the agency. For example, one agency has devised a form that is given to the individual in advance of detailed discussion [with him of the conditions that apply in his relation to the agency. The J^discussion is planned to take place after his initial eligibility has been established and the amount of the payment settled, when he will be able to give it his full attention. Frequently this discussion brings up ques¬ tions that enable the worker to clarify not only the obligations of the individual to the agency but the agency’s obligations to him. Careful discussion of the terms of continuing eligibility has the value of defining the scope and limits of the agency’s concern in the individual’s affairs and helping him to use the agency appropriately and adequately. If his plans are not permanently settled, clarification of the respects in which 24 a future decision would affect his eligibility or payment enables him to proceed more securely. When eligibility rests on the existence of a defect or incapacity, agency policy should define for the worker the exact nature and extent of the agency’s interest in medical diagnosis, possible reexaminations, and any further action that may be required of the individual to determine his continuing eligibility. Once these distinctions are made plain, the worker may offer the individual service in connection with some problem be¬ setting him. A father whose incapacity derives from a condition in which improve¬ ment has been anticipated fails to have the medical reexamination re¬ quired by the agency at the time originally suggested by the physician. The worker talks with him about his delay in submitting to reexamination and finds that he thinks his illness due to a progressive and incurable disease that has struck down several members of his family. He has accordingly renounced all hope as well as all effort for recovery. ' The worker also discovers that this man, who has felt acutely his loss of position as the family wage earner, is the person who formerly managed the family affairs. He needs not only reliable information about the condition that precipitated his severe illness but also recognition of his proper role in family planning. An elderly woman had been receiving assistance for several years in behalf of two grandchildren. On several recent occasions she had failed to notify the agency of changes in her situation, which hitherto she had been punctilious in reporting. At the time of review she was unable to concentrate on discussion of either her resources or the children’s needs, although she had said at the outset that she could not manage and would have to have an increase in the payment. The worker asked whether she was finding it hard to deal with two active growing boys. This was actually the crux of her difficulty, and she really wanted to make some other plan for the boys. The worker’s matter-of-fact acceptance of the grandmother’s real feelings enabled the latter to undertake on her own responsibility to consult other near relatives of the children and to work out a plan resulting in an uncle’s applying for aid to dependent children to maintain the children in his home. A mother was having difficulty with her IS-year-oId son. His loss of interest in school was threatening her plan to have him continue his education until he w'as 18. At the worker’s suggestion, the mother interviewed his teacher to learn more about his abilities and the possi¬ bility of some change in plan. When she was informed that his abilities did not warrant continuation of an academic or commercial course, her first thought was to have him transferred to^ a trade school, though there was no evidence that the boy had any special aptitudes or interests of this sort. The worker then brought up a question that had previously concerned the mother, asking whether she was worried about the cessation of the payment. The mother admitted that the pros¬ pect Avorried her and that perhaps she Avas forcing the boy to stay 25 in school to assure herself of assistance. Having faced the real source of her conflict with her son, the mother, with the worker’s help, pro¬ ceeded to consider ways and means by Avhich, during the remaining year, she might increase her earning capacity. Eventually she used her exceptional ability in sewing to work up a promising repair and re¬ modeling service. Service in Referral to Other Programs or Agencies Opportunity for service through referring the individual to another pro¬ gram, either within the agency or under separate auspices, obviously depends on the extent and development of local welfare services. Making appropriate referrals requires certain skills, including: 1. Accurate knowledge of community agencies, their services and intake policies. The worker must be careful to see that the individual under¬ stands that such programs will furnish resources or services only in accordance with the specifications they set directly and independ¬ ently with the individual. 2. Self-discipline in workers, to avoid using other agencies as subsidiary arms of their own. Both the other agency and the individual need an opportunity to establish a responsible basis for the individual’s use of its service. 3. Ability to distinguish between furnishing information about another agency and persuasions that leave the individual in doubt about his freedom to use or ignore a suggested resource or to discontinue use of it without penalties. The worker may properly supply assistance for special needs discovered by the other agency and presented by the individual or may provide assistance under some plan which the individual wishes to effect with the aid of another agency. The responsibility for determining and providing assistance, however, must continue to rest with the public assistance worker, operating under the policies governing the administration of assistance, exactly as the responsibility for establishing and maintaining the relationship to the other agency rests Avith the worker in that agency. When the individual has difficulty in using another resource the agency may occasionally be helpful to him. A mother who was receiving aid to dependent children asked about medical facilities but made no move to use them in spite of the' increasing pain and disability she was experiencing. When the worker commented on her indecision, the mother admitted to a fear that she might have to be hospitalized and her home broken up. The Avorker s discussion of the various arrangements that might be made gave her the con¬ fidence she needed to consult a physician, and later to proceed with . plans for the operation he recommended. \ Another mother was deeply upset by a request from the school that her boy have a psychological examination. Without asking for an explanation, she concluded that he was going insane, as his father ■I!' 26 had. This had been her persistent fear and had taken the form of excessive supervision of the child and a nagging concern about his school performance. The worker raised a question about the school’s reasons for asking for the psychological examination and was asked by the mother to interview the school principal. The worker discovered that the boy had excellent abilities but that lately he had been making little use of them. When she discussed this report with the mother, the latter wondered what effect her own excessive concern had been having on the boy, and the worker agreed that this might be disturbing to him. The mother remarked that perhaps she was the one who needed psychological advice and decided that she would take herself and the child to a child guidance clinic. In the rural agency the frequent necessity for depending on resources not organized as social services requires that the worker play a more active and extended role in referring recipients. Specialized services may be located at a distance and may become available only through special arrangements made by the w^orker. Usually the agency has established access to voluntary resources in the community, such as physicians ^villing to give free services, and knows what kinds of service they are prepared to give recipients and how much responsibility they will be willing to take. The agency has organized information about the various civic organi¬ zations, fraternal societies, and church groups that dispense funds for special purposes, and usually has worked out simple procedures for getting in touch with designated persons to learn whether money can be made available and to discuss an anticipated referral. In utilizing resources of this sort the worker should be aware that such j groups are not organized on a basis that assures consistent action on referrals to them, and that the recipient may not know where to turn if | the particular need for which he was referred is not met appropriately or adequately. She may therefore have to take responsibility for ascertaining what aid such resources have given to the individual so as to understand the possible necessity for further efforts in his behalf. In some cases the j worker may also have to plan with the voluntary group in order to organize and coordinate joint efforts to meet the recipient’s needs. The worker’s concern in carrying this responsibility is to keep the recipient from becoming confused about the basis on which he is receiving aid from these different sources, about his continued claim on the public agency, or about his obligations to the agency as a source of assistance. Service in Situations Involving Problems of Behavior and Personal Relationships In every case load there are some situations in which poverty, chronic illness, or marital conflict produce a bewildering number of consequences, such as bad housing, undernourishment, insufficient household equipment. 27 slovenly housekeeping, negligence in the training and supervision of the children, or unregulated management. In such situations the agency is I tempted to shift from providmg assistance, as adequate to need as the . agency’s general standards and funds permit, to regulating or managing 5, the individual’s affairs. Assistance is used as a base for disciplinary er, relationship to the recipient, and emphasis is placed on his conformity i to the agency’s plans. The agency’s doubt of the ability or desire of such individuals to improve their lot often results in their receiving less assistance than others known to the agency. When that occurs the agency and its w'orkers are not fulfilling their essential obligation to meet need on a basis that gives individuals the wherewithal to change externals in their situation and leaves with them the ultimate responsibility for de- termining their mode of life. When the agency sees that its main task is to provide assistance, the ‘ relations of workers to individuals in need may follow a sounder course and the latent capacity of these people to take hold of their o^vm affairs may have a chance to assert itself. Two of many examples show how change in the individual’s attitudes to^vard his own situation followed a change in the agency’s dealings with him. The incapacitated father of children receiving aid to dependent chil- dren had been under continued pressure from the agency to pursue for , ^ medical treatment and follow precautions to protect his family from jje If' infection. The mother, careless in her housekeeping and negligent in her care and supervision of the children, had been subjected to , j| inspections of her household and warned that assistance would be stopped if she could not make her husband meet the agency’s demands. 01^ !§ After several years of unsuccessful effort to control the recipients in if ^1-. these ways, the case was transferred to a neAv worker for the express elvJ.^ purpose of changing the agency’s way of handling this particular ijj situation. Hitherto the payment had been measured to the family’s lowered standards. The worker redetermined need on a realistic basis, li and the payment was raised to the agency’s maximum, with supple- mentation from general assistance. The Avorker discontinued effort to regulate the family’s affairs. rbe Six months later the mother volunteered that she found it difficult Q51 to keep her home clean and orderly. The worker asked her and the 1 father what they thought could be done to make housekeeping easier. P Both eagerly discussed fundamental repairs and essential equipment needed for the house and engaged in working out a plan of their own te.' for using the assistance that the agency could provide over a 6-month f period. At this point the father showed his first independent interest in his health, an interest which the worker acknowledged without exerting agency pressure on him to follow it up. Within another 6 months the home was noticeably improved through the effort and ingenuity invested by both parents in remodeling and furnishing it. There was also evidence of ambition on the part of each to master problems to which they had formerly been indifferent. 28 Provision of adequate assistance gave material opportunity to the re¬ cipients. The respect and confidence of the worker, as the agency’s representative, stimulated their ability to think and act for themselves. In another home, a succession of workers had tried in vain to influence an unresponsive and apparently dull young mother. Her problem of managing on inadequate assistance was complicated by the father’s alcoholic deterioration and mental irresponsibility. Her excuses for general neglect of her children were her inability to meet needs con¬ sistently and the father’s interference with any attempts to plan. The agency had acted on the belief that neither she nor the father would be able to profit by assistance greater than his always insufficient and uncertain earnings. In addition to close supervision of her house¬ keeping and care of the children, an unavailing effort had been made to help her understand her husband and deal with a disturbed relationship with him. When the agency decided to change its approach in this case, the first step was to reconsider need. The recipient was initially at a loss in describing the kinds of things for which she needed money. Several discussions were held before she was able to collect herself effectively and finish the business in hand. The worker concentrated exclusively on questions of need and what the mother herself wanted to do about practical problems of concern to her. The worker’s respect for the young woman’s capacity to work on concrete questions of need supported her in taking hold of her own responsibility for managing her household and finding her own way of changing a situation that was no longer tolerable. Later, this previously inert young woman came to the agency to say that she could not do what she should for her children if her husband remained in his present condition. Recently she realized that either he would have to change his ways and give the children a chance, or she would have to leave him. She could not let everything slip back into the old state. The subsequent course of action was directed from point to point by the mother’s resolution to gain control of her situation. The worker supplied information about possible procedures and what would be involved in following them. The father had no belief in psychiatric treatment. An involuntary commitment to a State hospital was not possible, although the psychiatrist who was consulted had no doubt that he was psychotic. The mother failed on one attempt to move to another neighborhood and conceal her whereabouts from him and also in an attempt to settle in a neighboring county. After a stalemate, the mother decided to act on a suggestion from the worker and present a plan she had devised for herself to a family agency in a larger city of the State — to take training for a job in which her manual dexterity would be useful. The family agency agreed to help her in carrying it out. The development in this case was of the recipient’s determination to find an active solution to her problems. Defining the Agency^s Responsibility in Problems of Personal Relationships To establish the proper basis for service, the agency must define for 29 tself and its workers what responsibility it takes for problems in the )ersonal relationships and behavior of persons to whom it is providing issistance. Questions about agency responsibility for dealing with personal problems irise in various connections. Difficulties in family relationships may be nentioned by the individual who is requesting or receiving assistance, or hey may be known to the worker even though the recipient makes no reference to them. In some cases the agency and its workers may have lirect reason to be concerned about problems in relationships and be- lavior that affect the individual’s eligibility or his obligations as applicant 3r recipient. In other situations, the worker feels a concern about a aaarital disagreement, or the parent’s attitude toward a child, or a daughter s treatment of an aged parent, or a widow’s relations with a masculine friend. Sometimes another agency, such as the court or school, asks the agency providing assistance to take responsibility for supervising some member of the family in meeting an educational or health regulation or some standard of conduct. Questions about obligations for dealing with personal problems in assistance cases may arise because the agency com¬ bines various services under a single administration and assigns to one worker responsibility for providing several different types of sefvice to the same family. For example, the agency may have to administer aid to dependent children under a “suitability of home” requirement.^ Though the administration of assistance as a right excludes the imposi¬ tion or giving of help on undefined and indirect grounds, the public assistance agency may have its own particular usefulness to individuals beset with personal difficulties in relationships or behavior. The occasions for this service occur when personal difficulties affect the individual’s [discharge of his defined and known obligations to the agency or when the action the individual might take about his problem involves some issue of eligibility and the amount of the assistance payment. The first responsibility of the worker in such situations is to make clear to individual applicants and recipients whatever connections there may be between these problems and the conditions affecting eligibility. If decisions are involved for the individual, the worker should make sure that he under¬ stands the concrete considerations that bear on them. The purpose of the worker is to enable the individual to find his own way to deal with his difficulty. To accomplish this purpose, the worker must have the capacity to recognize and respect the feelings of the individual and to clarify the practical alternatives open to him so that he may have the opportunity to measure possibilities and consequences 2 See ‘“Suitable Home’ Provisione of Stale Plana for Aid to Dependent Children ’’ Bulletin, April 1945, pp. 19-21. summarized from statement with the same title, sent by the Bureau of Public Assistance under date of March 5, 1945, to State agencies. 30 and so to objectify his problem and deal with it rationally. Such service was given to the following family, which was receiving aid to dependent children. ( The mother had repeatedly deserted three children under 6. Shi had married for a second time a man for whom her children were ai * obstacle to the roving life he wanted. He left her but periodically ji yielded to her overtures by sending her money to join him wherevef j he happened to be. When she had been with him for a month or so^ jj however, she would quarrel with him about his refusal to live with the I children, and these quarrels would end by his sending her home. ; f On the mother’s return, the worker explained to her that the particulaj? I* purpose of aid to dependent children was to enable a mother to care t for her children if she wished, and that the agency could not continue li to grant her aid to dependent children when it was so uncertain that [ the children were really going to have a home with her. ^ The mother told the worker about her troubles with her husband and her inability to decide whether there was any way of settling them. The worker recognized her dilemma and how it made it difficult fol !• her to stay home and give the children the care they required. The 1 worker mentioned several other possibilities for caring for the children: f there might be relatives who would take them, or foster home or insti* j tutional care might be possible if the mother wanted to be free of ^ them to work out her problem with her husband. The mother soberly ! inquired into these possibilities but concluded that her problem with her husband was that she wanted the children and could not get along without them. She had not realized before that she had been deserting them. She wanted to write to her husband to see whether this new development would affect his attitude, and she asked whether the worker could arrange to have him interviewed. Within 6 weeks she made her decision to stay with her children and seemed to have settled with herself that both her responsibility and her desire were to maintain a home for them. Similar service was given in another home where a husband and wife were recipients of old-age assistance. The husband and . wife quarreled incessantly, to the detriment of their health and any order in their regime. Each tried to enlist the agency in an alliance against the other. Their loss of control was evident in violent scenes in the presence of the worker. Each accused the other of constant abuse and demanded that the worker make the other behave. After several episodes in which the wife threatened to leave her husband, the worker followed up the wife’s talk of leaving ! him, defining the different arrangements possible under the agency’s policies and standards and indicating to the husband a willingness to discuss what he wished to do if they decided on a separation. The recipients considered their situation and later presented to the worker the plan they had worked out together. They wished to move to a neighborhood within easier access of old friends. Increased social oppor¬ tunities, they said, would keep them from getting on each other’s nerves 31 so much. The wife had decided to reneAv neglected medical treatments, and the husband wanted help with plans for keeping himself occupied. Conclusion The agency has a responsibility for defining the basis on which it furnishes assistance and for differentiating this from the basis on which Its workers may undertake other activities for the same individual. To 3:eep clear the basis on which it makes assistance payments, the agency foust have a precise understanding of the responsibility imposed upon it .•n administering assistance as a right. The agency and its workers must ee that eligibility for assistance is established and maintained according o requirements and obligations it defines in advance as applicable to all individuals in similar circumstances. The agency’s service includes what- !ver help the individual desires in establishing and maintaining his eligibility ind in obtaining other service from the agency or from other sources. \n essential characteristic of this service is that the individual is free i o accept or reject it, and that the worker in offering it recognizes with iiim his liberty to take or leave it as he thinks best. This basis for service tijxcludes any activity on the part of the worker that would lead the I individual to believe that he must comply with special suggestions or tiemands for changes in his relationships or conduct in order to maintain • lis eligibility for assistance. if The agency has a responsibility to make a clear distinction between i; lie requirements and obligations it has defined for all individuals in similar 5 jircumstances and any demands for changed behavior that would be special I to the individual situation. In administering assistance as a right, the I agency is bound not to use the individual’s economic helplessness for purposes that have not been generally declared and defined even though I I these purposes are presumably inspired by interest in the individual’s wel¬ fare or the welfare of his dependents. Since the agency is an agency of government, its workers should not employ the powers and resources of government for purposes that are individually determined by them. Service that is directed to changing the individual’s behavior or relationships or I to supervising or regulating his management of his affairs is therefore at odds with fulfillment of the agency’s primary duty, the provision of assistance as a right, that is, on a basis of mutual obligation that is plainly stated by the agency and can be made known in advance to the individual. When the agency has responsibility for follow-up or supervisory services to courts, schools, or other authoritative agencies, its basis for these activities in assistance cases should be carefully distinguished from its basis for providing assistance, and the difference should be made clear both to the referring authoritative agency and to the recipients concerned. I 32 The agency should be careful to distinguish between the requiremenfi of school or court and its own eligibility requirements and to make deal the difference between the individual’s obligations to the ' agency as i recipient of assistance and his obligations to conform to the regulation of the school or to obey the orders of the court. In these instances tltf workers would again have to differentiate between a real responsibility for informing the individual about the possible effects of his decisionii on his eligiblity and payment and an improper pressure on him tfl meet school or court requirements in order to maintain his eligibili^: status with the agency. I When the agency directs and regulates its services in providing assistancB in accordance with the dictates of a right, the course that it will take in problems of individual relationships and behavior becomes clear. The agency and its workers will see that neither persuasion nor compulsion is exercised on an individual to accept help with a personal problem as a condition to establishing or maintaining his eligibility for assistance. It| will restrain itself and its workers in this regard, whether the help in ques*; ; tion would be provided by the worker who administers assistance, a ! worker in another department of the agency, or by another public or ; private agency. Pursuit of this course does not exclude discussion by the worker of a possible need and desire of the individual for help with j a personal problem, but requires that such discussion leave to the individual ' the freedom and responsibility for deciding whether he wants to obtain)! the help available. A recipient may ask the agency for a special service,- such as help in making a plan outside the home for a child, or finding i out what can be done about a serious health problem in the family, or considering what action might be taken in a marital difficulty. In such | circumstances the worker needs to distinguish between her direct responsi¬ bility for telling the recipient what action is possible and how any particular action may affect his eligibility or payment and the very different pro-^ , ceeding of telling him what he should or must do. If the recipient’s difficulty is an inability to decide what he wants to do and he desires i special help in understanding and solving this difficulty, the agency’s re-i ! sponsibility is to help him locate the appropriate special service in an agency assuming responsibility for treating such personal problems.

Ashton: "The In^jlications of the Federal Social Security Act for Social Work Agency Practice," and "Money-Giving in Social Work Agencies - in Retrospect and in Prospect," The author is now Fellowship Counselor with the Fellowship Branch of UNRRA. She was on the staff of the Bureau of Public Assistance from 1944 to 1946 when the Bureau undertook intensive work in the area of standards of assistance. These papers embody a statement of some of the ideas that were influential in this phase of the Bureau’s work, as well as new paths of inquiry that need further exploration. Miss Ashton’s own interest led her to an analysis of the philosophical implications of the Social Security Act and of the problems that professional social workers encounter in carrying responsibility for money giving. The statements she developed were found to be clarifying and provocative to Miss Ashton’s immediate associates. They are, therefore, being offered to a wider profes¬ sional audience, including the staff of the Bureau of Public Assistance and of State and local agencies administering assistance, and to persons in teaching and related fields who have an interest in public assistance and its meaning to the field of social work as a whole. In making these state¬ ments generally available, it is our hope that they will be helpful to social workers in putting into practice the objectives suggested, with the resultant benefits to those whom these programs are designed to serve, Jane M. Hoey, Director Bureau of Public Assistance ACKNOWLEDCMEl^T These two papers grew out of ray experience as a member of the staff of the Bureau of Public Assistance and express my own conviction that in our kind of democracy there are certain basic essentials in the relationship of government and citizens in every governmental service, including the service of financial assistance. My convictions have been strengthened as I have worked in the UNRRA fellowship program with trainees from certain foreign countries and have gained a sense of the foreigners’ deep apprecia¬ tion of the nature of the relationship of government and citizen in this country, I should like to express my appreciation to Jane M, Hoey and Pauline Miller for their interest in this material as it was developed and also in its distribution; and my especial appreciation to Vocille M, Pratt for her specific and invaluable help throughout the period of the development of the ideas and in the actual formulation of the statements, ' Elma H. Ashton February 1947 The Implications of the Federal Social Security Act For Social 7fork Agency Practice (Kie Federal Social Security Act speaks significantly to social ■workers in its expression of -v^at our government intends for its people ■who seek financial help from government and also in the implications of that expression for practice of private and public agencies that offer any kind of service to any member of our democracy, Ihis paper speaks to social Tforkers from ■bhese t^wo points of view and attempts to present a -way of thinlcing about social work agency practice in our democracy. Social workers have had ten years of experience in categorical assistance programs established by the Social Security Act; ten years of learning to represent government, as staff members of agencies, in administering assistance to the groups specified in the act. This year, as we evaluate the accomplishments and progress of the decade, it seems timely to review -fehe Federal act, explore its implications, and look at our practice in terms of those implications. The Federal Act - An Expression of a Democracy Basic to our democratic way of life is the provision of opportunity for every indi-vidual to become a responsible, participating member of the democracy, participating ■sd.th his government in matters that pertain to his personal welfare and the Nation's general vrelfare, participating in the life of his community in the sense of belonging to his community. The democratic principle in operation allows opportunity to the individual to be or become vdiatever he is capable of being or becoming through the active use of his abilities ■within the democratic framework. In such a societal setting, each individual contributes of himself and his resources and thus participates in creating the whole from which each derives whatever benefit he is capable of using. Every indi'\n.dual has a right to share bo^fch as a contributor to and as a recipient of the benefits of the Nation, To maintain a ■vital, creative democracy, the governmental structure and its way of functioning must enable every person to achieve maximum productivity, to carry his part of the responsibility for the functioning of the democracy, and to make effective his right to receive the benefits. Any law -within the governmental pattern must be an organic part of the democratic structure, contributing directly or indirectly to the welfare of the individual as a responsible participating member of his community and the Nation, The Social Security Act, a law -within -this democratic pattern, is an expression of the interdependence of the whole and its parts, of government and its people. Government has created a money service for the benefit of - 2 - itself, and the benefits are therefore available as a citizen's right* Significant Provisions of the Assistance lltles Tne Social Security Act is designed to provide for the general welfare, and the assistance provisions were established to enable States to furnish financial assistance to certain needy individuals (the aged, ^pendent children, and the blind) . The act requires that States assure the client's right to appeal to the State agency against the decision of the local agency or individual staff worker; the client's right to have the information about his circum¬ stances kept confidential; and the client's right to money payments, interpreted to mean pajonents unrestricted as to the way the money is spent. Writing a general welfare purpose into the Federal legislation that includes financial assistance to individuals is an indication that the representatives of the people of these United States saw an intimate rela¬ tion between our government's accepting responsibility to provide money to people in need and its responsibility for the general welfare. Requiring the administering agencies to observe the right to appeal, confidentiality of information, and unrestricted money payments implies a recognition that the way States give money to needy individuals has significance for the general welfare; or more specifically, that in carrying out the responsi¬ bility of providing such assistance States must preserve certain individual values essential to the general welfare. General Implications as Regards "Needj^ People By assuming responsibility for the preservation of certain rights of needy individuals, the government implied a knowledge of the burden of stigma that has been borne by recipients of assistance and of its intention to assume responsibility for creating a program directed toward lightening that burden. The fact that an individual receives his means of support from an assistance agency rather than from wages or other recognized income is a fact of difference from his neighbors that cannot be denied or dismissed lightly. Ihere is a deeply rooted tradition in this country that the person Tidio is "anybody" supports himself by his own efforts. There is, therefore, a general feeling that it is right for an individual to work for his living, to gain his source of support through investment or business enterprise, or to be supported by relatives. Inherent in this sense of the rightness of these ways of providing one's livelihood is the feeling that there is some¬ thing wrong about getting one's support from a source created by the idiole, but to which one has not directly contributed his labor or his money; thus, the individual -vdio gets his support from a social agency is considered in a group "apart," culturally different from his neighbors. Ihis feeling exists in the client, in his neighbors, and sometimes in the representative of the agency. - 3 - !I!he provisions of the Social Security Act that establish specific rights of the needy individual express the Nation's recognition of the fact that the needy individual's belonging to and responsible participa¬ tion in the life of his community are essential to the democracy of that community. Ihese specific provisions recognize the needy individual's strength and abilities 3 the fact that he is like his neighbors and belongs to his community; and, because of the differences in his source of support, the necessity for his government to be actively interested in providing him the opportunity to achieve and maintain a feeling of likeness to his neighbors and a sense of belonging to and being an active participant in his community. Implication of Specific Provisions for Administrative Action Three specific provisions of the Social Security Act require admin¬ istrative action in relation to certain claims a needy individual may make upon the governmental agency. Ihe dominant component of each requirement is an individual value that must be assured the citizen if he is to achieve an active, responsible relationship to his government and be a vital par¬ ticipant in the democratic -way of life. The appeal provision. — The appeal provision is tangible evidence of the government's assumption of responsibility to assure to the needy indi¬ vidual the opportunity of self-assertion in his relations vath the govern¬ mental agency — just as any other citizen is assured the opportunity to speak for himself in presenting his demands to his government. Ihe right of individual self-assertion -with government is essential to democratic functioning and significantly differentiates democracy from certain other types of governmental pattern. If we dislike what our leaders do and say, we have ways of expressing our dissent. If we have ideas, we have ways of making them known. If a decision concerning us seems unfair, we can appeal. All of these ways of assertion are open to all citizens. Ihe needy individual, because he lacks economic independence in a culture in which economic independence gives status, may feel insecure in expressing himself, and may even feel he has no right to express himself. For him, therefore, it is in^jortant that his government not only give tangible evidence of his right to sp*eak for himself but assure him the opportunity to do so. The right of appeal has value for the individual to the extent that he knows udiat he can claim from his government, and under what circumstances; to the extent that he knows he is expected to assert his rights as he sees them. He needs to know that government itself gives him the right to go beyond the person who made the decision, to go to higher authorities and participate with the fina'l authority in decisions that affect him. To make its provision for individual appeal a reality, the government must be actively concerned that the administering agency is actually making the provision effective. - 4 - Ihe confidentiality provision^ — The confidentiality provision expresses our government’s assumption of responsibility for protecting individual privacy in a citizen’s relationship ydth his government. An individual must share with his government by giving information about himself to "whatever extent is necessary for him to gain the benefits of governmental service. A person who applies for an automobile license, a driver’s license, a passport, must give certain information specific to the request. For many reasons that we need not review here, the fact of asking for public "relief" has, in the past, placed "the "needy" individual in the position of revealing his own affairs to vhatever extent an agency requested^ and his "need" was often regarded as creating a necessity for the agency to inquire into those affairs beyond the limited area that would establish eligibility for the service. The Social Security Act sets up certain eligibility requirements, and the administrative agency must get sufficient information to establish the fact of eligibility. However, the act both limits the facts that a State agency must ascertain and attempts to assure that the information given will be held confidential. That government has accepted its responsibility thus to protect the needy indi¬ vidual indicates its recognition "that he has more difficulty than others in protecting his own privacy. The confidentiality provision has significance for the needy individ¬ ual to the extent that he kno"ws that his government -will inquire of him only what is essential to establishing his claim; that his government expects him to protect his own privacy and -will support him in so doing; that his government will treat as confidential whatever information he gives. To make real the government’s interest in assuring the individual an opportu¬ nity for privacy, the government must assume responsibility for seeing that its representative carries out the purpose of the provision. The unrestricted money payment. — The unrestricted money payment expresses government’s intent to the individual to exercise personal responsibility in a money economy. The usual medium of exchange in our society is money. A person buys what he wishes and can afford of the available commodities. In general, he gains his status as a community member by his active participation in the money economy; securing for him¬ self and his family the goods and services that he considers the essentials of TjLfe and contributing his part to community institutions. He hxjys from his grocer and his clothier, pays rent to his landlord, pays for his ticket to the movies, his carfare, and so forth, and contributes to his church, his club, his community fund. He provides for his old age and for periods of ill health and unemployment through purchase of insurance or contributions to some sort of fund; and he contributes to his government through payment of taxes. The extent to -which an individual purchases and contributes is determined by what he has, what he wants for himself, and what he is willing to contribute, except that his contribution to his government is determined by the government on the basis of his income and possessions. - 5 - Communities accept in individuals a wide range of differences in source of income and ability and willingness to participat.e in community affairs through use of money. Two groups that risk being rejected by the community, however, are those who lack money and cannot, and those who have money and will not, carry what the community considers their reason¬ able share of community responsibilities. The person who has money but keeps his participation in the community below a reasonable level brings himself, into conflict with his conmunity. If he does not pay his debts or displays other antisocial behavior, the' force of law goes into action against him. If he does not provide himself with clothing and housing that the conmunity considers decent, the force of community attitudes will move against him either by active protest or by ostracism. If he fails to avail himself of community services and to contribute to community life, his fellow citizens have ways of showing their disfavor. Within certain limits he is free to defy the community way of life and 'thus isolate him¬ self, or enter into conflict with his fellow citizens. He vails to be different and vdlls to take the consequences. Tie government takes its proper responsibility toward this citizen when it sets up ways in which he may, if he wishes, become a responsible participating member of the commu¬ nity. The government also takes its proper responsibility in relation to the general welfare — the protection of individuals in their personal freedom — vhen it makes no further demand on that individual except when he fails to meet governmental obligations or endangers others. The individual vdio has no money, or so little that he cannot pur¬ chase what he needs and cannot contribute to his community, is in no position to be a responsible participant in his community. His participa¬ tion is limited not by his own will but by his economic circumstances. He cannot keep himself adequately fed, housed, and clothed and in good health. He cannot pay his church dues or contribute to other community institutions. Because he has no money and cannot participate and because he is aware of the accepted way of life and his difference from that way, he feels his own inadequacy, and his neighbors "look down on him." Because the community cannot justify its rejection of him, its attitudes and behavior toward him are confused and conflicting but generally disapproving. Toward this indi¬ vidual, the government has a responsibility to make sufficient money available so that he can participate in the money economy and buy what he needs for decent living and for making a reasonable contribution to the life of the community. In addition, the government should make that money available in such a way that he can achieve a sense of belonging by the very fact that he is sharing in one important aspect of the democratic way of life. In carrying out this responsibility toward him, the government is fulfilling its responsibility for the general vrelfare, in that democracy is made real only as all members have opportunity to and do become respon¬ sible participants in its functioning. Implications for Social Yfork Agency Practice Social workers in public assistance have learned more and more about how to carry out the intent of the Social Security Act throxigh thoughtful - 6 - administration of its provisions* Experience has established for us the "rightness* of the public assistance provisions. Have we, however, examined the act and its provisions for the implications for all social work agency practice? Let us look at the fact that we tell only part of the story when we say, "these provisions are appropriate for public assistance clients." Kie vdiole story is that these provisions are in the act for public assistance recipients because they are appropriate for all citizens of our democracy. llie Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the democratic folkways and mores, the verbal expressions of a people establish a base out of viiich the Nation takes form. Laws are the tangible expression of the Nation that set an organic pattern mthin which its people move. The citizens' relation to government is made tangible through law, but law is merely an expression of the citizens* proper relation to any part of the democratic pattern — any of democracy's institutions. Social work agencies, vdiether private or public and vdiether they give money or "service," are integral parts of the democratic pattern. They are expressions of a community, a State, or a Nation, lliey have grown out of and upon our constitutional base. They are part of a society in which giving and taking are correlative, in which the individual contributes to the whole in various ways and in varying degrees, in which the whole establishes services, in which the individual benefits from the whole through its services that he can use. The client of any of our agencies is a member of his government and his community and has rights and privileges as such. He has a right to express himself about the services his community or State or Nation will provide; to know the established services of the established public and private agencies and the conditions under which he can avail himself of those services; to express himself within and outside the agency concerning the kind and quality of the service he and his fellow citizens are receiv¬ ing; to expect confidential handling of matters that pertain to him and protection of his privacy; and to use the community services or money pro¬ vided for him in the way that suits his purposes. Every experience in life is important to each of us, for it is through our experiences that we gain or lose our sense of our own strengths, capacities, and value, and establish our relationship to the world in which we live. The client's experience with the agency is a significant life expe¬ rience, one in which he will get some kind of feeling about himself as a person and in which he will, at least in part, establish his relation to his community or his government. Any agency that has a "helping" function has a responsibility for setting up a structure and effecting a process that will give to every person who seeks its service an opportunity to gain and main¬ tain a sense of his own value as a person and as a functioning member of our democracy, with the rights, privileges, and responsibilities that are inherent in the democratic way of life. Only when an agency achieves this way of operating does it become a vital part of our democratic pattern. August 1946 Washington, D.C Money-Giving in Social »*ork Agencies - in Retrospect and in Prospect Money is an essential in our economy# With it we not only purchase the commodities we need and want but we establish our status as citizens of the coamiunity » ’Without it we cannot purchase what we need to live decently# Without it we are likely to lose our sense of our own value to ourselves, to those near to us, and to our fellow citizens# Because of the essential quality of money and its psychological concomitants, it is difficult for us to ask for or accept money, especially when we need it, or to offer it as help to another, or to withhold it from one who asks for it# In social work practice the problems that arise in giving financial assistance reflect our personal problems in giving money, for the profession has not yet developed a body of knowledge, a way of think¬ ing and a way of operating in this area that help us make the shift from giving money as a private individual to giving agency money as a professional person# A cursory glance at our professional history shows that at the beginning we failed to recognize that the giving of money was a proper area of professional practice# Later, having recognized that it was an inevitable part of agency responsibility, we struggled to learn how to give it profes¬ sionally when helping with money presented both the agency and the worker with demands and problems that had not been recognized as present in other areas of helping# Social workers began to identify their profession when they began to focus on the individual's needs, feelings, and behavior, and to think of the profession as one of helping the individual# The significance of this focus cannot be overestimated, for it was throu^ the exploration of the dynamics of human behavior and the development of skill in working with human beings that social work established itself as the profession equipped to work in programs offering help to individuals# However, our efforts to understand and help individuals plunged us into a period in which we were so absorbed in our own learning in the psychological area that we lost our connection with agency and community and thus did not carry what we now regard as proper professional responsibility in our jobs# During that early period the worker, directed by her concern for the individual and his problem, worked as an individual with an individual and thou^t of herself as working with her client in a process in which she was limited only ly her own skill# “^e was oriented to the psychologi¬ cal problem of her client 5 thus, when the problem the client presented was lack of money, she tried to relate his need for money to some psychological or emotional disturbance# In attempting to give money on an “individual basis,** she made money incidental to some kind of deeper help and measured her success and status ty her ability to ** treat’* on this deeper level# In retrospect we see that money would not yield to this subjedtive, highly individual handling and that in reality money cannot be relegated to an incidental poAition when the client’s need for it is real and immediate# Social work has been attempting to force into an alliance two incompatible processes — the social worker’s highly individualized practice - 2 - as traditionally conceived, and the giving of agency money which is not available for the worker's unlimited use# When the economic depression of the thirties created an unprece¬ dented necessity for the provision of money to individuals, social workers in public and private assistance agencies had to find a way of working with clients in an agency setting in which the giving of money was the immediate objective and the worker's activity, including the amount of money she could give, was governed by agency-determined limits# Workers who had focused on functioning on an "individual basis" had reason to protest daily at what seemed like the agency's interference in matters ' that they thou^t concerned only two individuals — the worker and her client. Social workers in the policy-making positions in both public and private agencies tried to handle agency money-limits in such a way as to preserve as far as possible what they conceived of as "individual treat¬ ment" of the client. Home economists were brou^t into agencies to work on the problem of how to set reasonable limits on assistance payments, and the objective data they provided were generally regarded as guides# Some agencies used the figures on specific items as maximum amounts, varying the payment up to the maximum in accordance with the individual client's estimate# Some limited the kind or number of items that could be considered and, on the basis of the client's estimate of his needs, varied both the amount per item and the number of items within the list accepted by the agency# Some allowed each worker a specific amount of money per month for her case load and let her determine the amount for each client# Other agencies left the worker free to "consider" any amount or any number of items but set limits on the totals by reducing payments to a percentage of the total, for example, or subtracting a specific amount from the total. Still others predetermined the amounts for certain classifications of individuals but allowed the worker some leeway for "special needs" not included in a classification# Within the framework of these various agency-determined ways of giving money, workers continued to encourage their clients to discuss in detail their needs, item by item, and to estimate how much money they needed for each item# The worker could keep the illusion of giving money on an "individual basis" if she could get the client's long list of items and his money estimates, despite the actuality that the amount the agency would provide mi^t buy oniy one item-food, for example — in the client's estimate. The worker lived both 'in a "dream world" of considering the client's individual need, and in a factual existence of the agency's giving and the client's receiving money on an agency-determined basis • The Social Security Act was passed at a time when agencies and social workers were in this dilemma of reaching for the star of "indivi¬ dual need" and having to keep their feet on the ground in giving money within the limits determined by the agency# In only a few programs of old-age assistance did any real departure from traditional theory and - 3 - practice develop# ' ^st of the States' methods for determining both need and the amount of the payment within the categorical assistance programs continued to emphasize the necessity for exploring the client's individual needs, giving the client every opportunity to list in detail his full needs item by item, and estimating the cost of each item* Our experience in social work made us aware that "needs" and "wants" are often so inextricably interwoven in an individual's feelings that he cannot isolate one from the other and that each individual's needs and wants vary from time to time. Actually, no individual can really determine all of his needs at a given moment, and certainly no worker can determine another person's — the client's — needs. More and more refinement of skill in helping clients estimate needs has led agen¬ cies into the curious position of discovering more and more about what they cannot give money for and how much they cannot give, since a really sympathetic and detailed estimate of the need of any one of us will almost inevitably reach a total that no agency can meet. This probing into "needs," especially when the "needs" cannot be met, is wasteful. Staff effort and time and thus agency money have gone into gathering informa¬ tion not necessary for the agency's immediate business with an individual client. More important still has been the harmful effect on the client and on his relationship with the agency. The client has become distrust¬ ful and fearful of the agency because of the false setting in which he and the worker have operated. Workers have been laboring under the delusion that they were considering "individual need," but in fact they were exploring needs as far as the worker knew how and the client was willing to probe for them, and then were determining the assistance pay¬ ment on a very different basis. In line with our social work tradition, some of us have continued to believe that to do our "best work" we must polish our method of prob¬ ing into the client's needs, while the prosaic fact of agency function and limitation of funds has led to the establishment of agency determinants for administering assistance. As soon as agency determinants move in, "individual needs" as traditionally conceived become subordinated. The social work theory and practice that have created these difficulties for agencies and client in the administration of financial assistance have carried certain implicaticns that some social workers are now beginning to question, in sach terras as the following examples. Does not the Implication that the worker's effectiveness with her client is in direct proportion to her freedom to operate as an individual with an individual suggest that a social worker can be a free agent? Most social workers recognize today that the worker, who in her profes¬ sional role gives agency money to people, must operate as a representa¬ tive of an agency. She is giving money that is not her own and giving it because it is her Job to give it, and she is free only within the limits of her agency. If she had a private practice of her own, she would not have these limitations, but neither v/ould she be able to draw on the resources of the community or government; nor would she and the client have the protections and the positive values of a definite agency structure. - ii - l3 It ■good** for an Individual (the client) to expose all the de tails of his life to a social worker? To examine this question we should consider the fact that the client, like the rest of us, finds his positive relation to living throu^ truly sharing with others; and he truly shares only when, in the sharing, he has a sense of his own control in his activity* The agency that places upon the worker responsibility for determin¬ ing what information she will require of the client places her in the posi¬ tion of making personal demands on the agency’s client and places the client in the position of submitting to or struggling against another person’s will. In submitting, he gains no strength for himself; in strug¬ gling he uses his strength in the fi^t and cannot use the worker in her capacity as helper* Ihe agency has a responsibility to establish the specific informa¬ tion that must be sought— information directly related to the service— and to limit the inquiry to those specific items* In so doing, the agency gives the worker a setting in iriiich she can be a representative speaking for the agency, rather than an individual speaking for herself* Released from the struggle against the worker’s will to know him, the client can feel free to use the worker’s help in meeting the agency— in focusing on the conditions of its service* With her help he may be able to move throu^ his own inner struggle and confusion to a decision whether he can or cannot share the information the agency requires and whether or not he wishes to use the agency* If he decides he wishes to use the agency, knowing what he must share, he may by the very act of sharing gain a sense of his own posi¬ tive move, of his own activity, of his own control in the sharing, and of his cwn control of himself* He can know the boundaries of his relationship with the agency and can know also that he has a private life that he may keep to himself or share in other relationships as he sees fit* In the process of determining the need of the individual, must a worker discuss needs item by item in order to "individualize the client**? It seems important to point out tkai, no matter what service is offered, the agency that claims a helping function has an obligation to so render its service that the applicant or recipient will get a sense of the agency’s recognition of him as an individual who has his own ri^ts, privileges, and strengths and who can make his own choices with some feel¬ ing of confidence in his choice* This kind of relationship can be estab¬ lished whether the client is asking for much or little, for money or some other kind of service, provided the agency takes its proper responsibility in making clear to him what the agency can do, helping him define his own request, making clear what he must do to avail himself of the agency’s service, helping him in the process of making his choices; and, if he chooses to use the agency’s service, helping him use that service to his own best advantage* - 5 - Are law and policy negative forces in social work? Earlier ^liefs that law and policy are inherently "negative” have given way increasingly to the recognition that government, operating throu^ law and public agency policy, and the community, operating through private agency policy, are responsible positive forces that provide the money that social workers as agency representatives administer to individuals. If we, as social workers, are to carry out the purposes of government and community, it seems essential that we recognize the positive nature of the responsibility that government and community have assumed and that we use our knowledge, experience, and skill in creating policies and procedures that reflect the positive nature of the responsibility* Government (local, State, and Federal) has assximed responsibility for making money available to certain needy people throu^ public assist¬ ance and has given social workers an opportunity to work in agencies designed to carry out this responsibility. As social workers in those agencies, we have the responsibility to establish a method that will not rely solely on our personal ability to work with people but will utilize our professional skill in administering a program so that we express government’s intent to give this service in such a way that citizens who use it can have the same sense of governmental protection and of individ¬ ual freedom that they have in using other types of governmental service, • At any point at which government recognizes that a specific kind of public service is necessarj'- for the good of all, it generally assumes that specific responsibility. In services other than assistance, govern¬ ment establishes what it will do and what the individual must do to benefit from the service. Both the government’s and the individual’s roles are known or knowable to all, Ihe requirements placed upon the individual are related specifically to the service. No agent has freedom to make additional requirements or to deqy the service to any individual who meets the established requirements. This pattern of known and specific relationship between government and its citizens gives the citizen a sense of government’s concern for him, its protection of him, its recognition of him as a responsible member of a democracy. The citizen can know that he must assume certain responsi¬ bilities if he is to use the services, and he can be free to use or not use them because he knows both what government will do and what he must do. Government can make possible this same quality of relationship with its citizens who seek financial assistance if it establishes what it considers a basic content of living that should be available to all its citizens; if it establislies the amount oi* money required to purchase this basic content^ and if it also establishes how mucK money it will provide and vfhat the individual must do to avail himself of this governmental service — that is, money. - 6 - Thus far, under the public assistance titles of the Social Security Act, the Federal Government has assumed the responsibility for granting money to States "to furnish assistance, as far as practicable, under the conditions in such State" to certain groups of needy individ¬ uals only# Each State therefore now has the responsibility of estab¬ lishing what it considers the content of living that its citizens should have money to purchase. The Federal Government, moreover, is now making studies to establish a Nation-wide basic content of living, ^.^len such a "content” is established, it will be available to all governmental agencies. Federal, State, and local, for use in their various programs# State public assistance agencies will then know what the Federal Govern¬ ment considers the essentials for assuring that its people are decently fed, clothed, and housed, are in good health and have an opportunity for participation in the normal activities of the conmunity. A State agency can determine what this content of living will cost in the various sections of the State and can determine what part of this content it will make available to its citizens throu^ its assistance programs. Mth the development of this basic content of living, social workers will have an additional knowledge that thej*- can use in formulat¬ ing agency policy and in working with the people v/ho seek financial assistance. The known fact that there is a recognized content that everybody must have in order to live decently is a focus of operation very different from the focus of "what do you need." In the latter, the, client carries a burden of proving that he , in his state of "not having," needs certain things. In the former, the agency asserts its own knowl¬ edge that everybody needs certain basic essentials and that the agency's reason for being is to make money available to supplement what an individ¬ ual has, so that he can purchase the basic 'minimum that everybody needs* In the realm of policy, the social worker will have as a focus what the agency knows about basic needs of people and what the agency can do within that known. State policy and procedures will reflect this shift in focus throu^ a reorganization of procedural material with new emphases, and through clear presentation of the knowns, and clear instruc¬ tions concerning the worker's explorations with the client. Specifically, there would be a presentation of the basic essentials that everybody has to have, with a detailed description, for the worker's reference, of the elements that make up those essentials, as well as the details of the agency's plan for determining eligibility and granting assistance. The known facts that the worker can share with persons applying for assistance and that will put something different into the relation¬ ship are (1) what the Nation has decided are the basic requirements for people in this country tb live decently, and (2) what part of those requirements her agency will be responsible for providing when the individ¬ ual's own resources will not do so. Ihe client can get a sense of his - 7 - own value as an individual in the worker's recognition of him as a person who needs money to secure a basic content of living in order to live decently and to be a participating member of our democracy# This recognition establishes his "likeness" to his fellow citizens, in a situation in which he feels keenly the burden of his difference, in not being able to proviae for himself the essentials that he, like his fellow citizens, needs# No matter how an agency gives money to "needy" individuals, the client will have feelings about asking for money, about taking it from another, about taking it on another's terms, about using it on his own terms when he feels that it belongs to another* Once the agency has established the terms of its responsibility, however, the client will no longer have to struggle with the vforker to establish what ^ needs and can concentrate on establishing what he has* He will no longer have to be involved in the feeling struggle of "Should I ask for much or little?" '*\Yill the worker like me if I ask for much?" ""^iill she think I am not 'in need' if I ask for little?" and the like# He can make clear what he has, and be free to express his feelings about having to ask and take, and about using what is given by another* He and the worker will have a more concrete working basis and can more easily find the real bases of his conflicting feelings. The client will be in a known relationship with the agency, and the very clarity of that relation¬ ship will give him more freedom in it — freedom to take or leave, for he can know what he is taking or leavingj freedom to express his concern about what he is receiving, for he and the worker, throu^ their common knowledge of what people in his circumstances and in that community need and what the agency can give, have established a mutual understanding and confidence. He will feel free to seek information about other sources of help, for the quality of the relationship assures him that the worker both knows the limit of her own service and accepts his necessity to seek other services* He can sense the worker's respect for him in the way she shares with hljn what the agency knows and can do and in the way she works with him in relation to whatever he expresses about himself. By force of necessity, government assumed the money- giving func¬ tion on a large scale through assistance programs that affected the entire Nation# ‘.’iith that big job on their hands, representatives of government have had to work out more and more effective methods of parry¬ ing their responsibilities# Thus, most social work thinking about money¬ giving has been focused on public assistance# Vie see a trend in public assistance toward methods and practices that are becoming more constructive for the client and more in harmony with the democratic principles underlying our governmental structure and operation, and this trend has implications for all social work agencies engaged in giving money to "needy" individuals. The Federal Government is moving toward greater responsibility for making money available so that its citizens can purchase -things necessary for decency and health# S-ba-be governments have furnished money for groups not yet covered by Federal legislation# - 8 - Private agencies will continue to give money for those groups of persons who fall between the various government programs and for special purposes beyond the scope of governmental service# These agencies will need to look at their money- giving function in terms of its relation to governmental functions and also examine their methods of giving money. They must ask themselves such questions as: Do we duplicate a govern¬ mental service? Does the community including the client know the basis on which we give money? Can we establish with our client a clear working basis so that he, as well as we, understands why he is or is not eligible for our money, why he gets a specific amount for a specific purpose? Is our client free to speak as a member of the community and say what he thirdcs or feels about the agency’s purposes and practices in the area of giving money? Can the citizen take money from us and maintain his sense of his own value as a citizen? The private agency client is a citizen of his community and of his government just as is the public agency client. Private agencies are part of the democratic pattern and have responsibilities inherent in such a pattern# They do not operate under a specific law, but they have the democratic principles of our society upon which to base the structure within which they work vdth the citizen who seeks help# As long as there are, in our society, groups of "needy” people sufficient in number to require the Nation’s expressed concern through assistance agencies, as long as social workers carry responsibility for administering financial assistance in those agencies, we must continue to search for better and better methods of giving money.

Their work is of decisive importance in determining irtiether these pro¬ grams meet the needs of the individuals they are designed to serve* The staff of the local office must give concrete expression to the laws of the Nation and of the State as they affect particular individuals in particular circumstances. Satisfactory perfoimance of this difficult task demands a basic understanding of people and of the objectives of social legislation. Recognition of the importance of the function of the local office in the euiministration of public assistance and of the need to pay salaries that will attract and hold coi^petent workers in these offices led the Bureau of Public Assistance to undertake an inquiry into the salaries being paid local office personnel of State public assistance agencies early in the calendar year 1946. The State public assistance agencies in 47 States fldilch cooperated with the Bureau in conducting this inquiry si:q>pliod information on the salaries paid upwards of 30,000 full-time employees in about 3>000 loceil offices.]/ These employees represent approximately three-fourths of all personnel in local offices of State public assistance agencies. State agencies also reported the monthly salaries paid their field representatives idio supervise local offices with respect to general administration, the determination of eligibility, and the provision of assistance and service. Part I of this report presents a summary and analysis of the salary information obtained in the inquiry. In addition to salary information, the study yielded data about the number of local offices and the size and composition of local office staffs. This information, which has hitherto not been available in summary form, is summarized in Part II. Biroughout this report, the terms "agency** or "State agency" are used to refer to the single State agency responsible for administering assistance or for supervising the administration of assistance by local agencies. The term "local office" as used in this report refers to both the local offices of a State agency idiich administers assistance and the local agencies which administer assistance under the supervision of a State agency. For purposes of this study the District of Columbia was considered to be a local office serving a city of 250,000 or more popu¬ lation. Including the District of Columbia, the number of agencies 9 1/ See appendix table I for detail on State agencies participating in the study. Agencies in Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma did not participate. For information on types of local office personnel for which salary information was not requested, see appendix A. - 1 - participating in the study was 49;^ for the States having more ttian one State agency included in the study, the programs for idiich each is responsible are indicated by the letter A for old-age assistance, B for aid to the blind, C for aid to dependent children, and G for general assistance. Of the 30,600 local office employees whose monthly salaries were reported, almost half were visitors* These are the staff members who are immediately responsible for working with individuals to determine their need for assistance or other welfare services* Clerical workers comprised almost two-fifths of local office employees. The others were either directors or director— workers, who are the administrative heads of local offices, and supervisors, who supervise the activities of visitors* The number of workers in each of these four major classes was as follpws: ■Cla..aa 1/ Number Percent Total . . 2/ 30,631 100*0 Director* . . . 2,491 S*1 Supervisor* •••*••• . 1,675 5.5 Visitor . . U,830 4B*4 Clerk . . . U,635 38.0 For definition of each type of worker, see appendix B. ^ For detail on types of local office per- ' sonnel not included, see appendix A* Though local offices with 10 or more full-time employees repre¬ sent only about a fifth of all local offices, they employ almost three- fourths of the local office personnel* Except for directors, therefore, the great majority of workers whose salaries were reported represent personnel of these larger offices* The salary information has been summarized and analyzed separately for each class of worker* Evaluation of the salaries paid iio employees in a particular State agency as "high” or “low” is necessarily based on comparisons with salaries paid to workers in similar jx/sitions in other State agencies* These comparisons are subject to certain qualifications that must be considered in interpreting the data. In the first place, the comparisons are based on broad groupings of workers* To some extent within each class, and to a considerable extent within the class of director, differences in the duties performed may account for part of the differences in salaries paid* Secondly, variations •'r.'ug agencies in the length of service of employees may account for some In addition, salary data were reported for visitors working out of the State office of the Delaware Old Age Welfare Commission; no local offices are maintained* - 2 - salary differences. Thus, agencies paying comparatively high salaries may have experienced less turn-over and may have relatively more personnel whose periods of service entitle them to maximum rates of pay. Since the age of the agency itself is also a factor in determining length of service, other things being equal, older agencies might be expected to have more employees at maximum rates of pay than those more recently established. In interpreting the data, consideration should also be given to the fact that salaries that appear to be relatively high on this limited basis of evaluation may actually be inadequate in relation to the salaries paid for comparable jobs in other fields of work, to the qualifications re¬ quired for the job, or to the coat of living. Moreover, use of salary data alone as the measure of the economic value of a particular position omits from consideration conditions of employment other than salary. Though salary is undoubtedly the deciding factor, most workers in their choice of a position are influenced to some extent by the hours of work, opportunities for promotion, and provisions for vacation and sick leave, security of tenure, retirement, and compensation for overtime. Infor¬ mation on hours of work in locaJL offices was collected as part of the study i but analysis of the data did not reveal any consistent relation¬ ship between the number of hours worked and salaries paid.^ State agencies were requested to report monthly salaries for a pay-roll period ended betv;een December 31, 1945, April 30, 194^. For 28 agencies, the information was taken from the December pay roll and for the remaining 21 agencies, from a pay roll for a month early in 1946.^ Since the date of this inquiry, a number of agencies have made upward adjustirsents in salaries. The procedures for granting salary Increases are so varied that no estimate of their effect on the distribution of salaries could be attempted even if complete information were available on the changes that have taken place. For example, some agencies In¬ creased salaries for an unspecified period, others, for only a temporary period; in some agencies, ell salaries were increased, in others, only those of selected classes of workers; some agencies granted "bonuses” to help employees meet -the rise in cost of living, others gave percentage increases, and still others raised salaries by a flat amount per T^eek, month, or year. The average used in comparisons is the medien, that is, the middle salary for each group when all salaries v/ithln the group are arranged in order of size. y For State detail on hours of work, see appendix C. 4/ For State detail on month for which data were reported, see appendix D. - 3 - Dlf^XJTORS Monthly salaries were reported for 2,491 directors of local public assistance offices. The class of directors includes the resjponsible head of each local office, regardless of the size of the office or the title of the position — such as commissioner, superintendent, secretary, director, or director-worker — in a particular State or locality. Salaries reported, therefore, include at one extreme those paid to the responsible heads of large metropolitan offices staffed ttith hundreds of workers end at the other, salaries paid to individuals who work alone or direct only the activities of a single clerk. Average (Median) Salary and Range in Directors* Salaries For the 2,491 directors, the average (medien) salary was 1^185. At the extremes were 1 percent at less than |;120 and 1 percent at $3^0 or more. Salaries of the middle half fell between $165 and ^>230.^ Table 1 shows the heavy concentration of salaries in the lower amounts and the small proportion included in the wide range above 1240. As will be shown later, size of staff more than any other factor influences the amount of a director's salary. This distribution therefore undoubtedly reflects the fact that 80 percent of the local offices had less than 10 full-time employees.

In 3 agencies — Arkansas, New Hampshire, and South Carolina — all directors received salaries below the national average of $185; in Mississippi, only one of the 81 directors received as much as this average. On the other hand, all directors in 11 States received salaries in excess of the national average as follows: State Number of Type of agency directors office Arizona. . . Connecticut. . . . . .

For example, in South Carolina, the middle half of the salaries fell within the same |10 class interval. In California, however, the middle half included amounts from $210 to $330, a spread extending over 13 class intervals of $10.

Factors Affecting Directors* Salaries The analysis which follows indicates that size of staff influences the salary paid a director more than any other factor or combination of factors. Size of staff, however, is related to size of case load, which in turn is determined to a considerable extent by the number of persons in the community served by the local office. In the last analysis it is probably the size of the community and the salaries paid the responsible heads of other local govemmenteil departments in the same community that Influence the salary paid the director of a local office. Intrastate differences in salaries paid directors are attributable almost entirely to differences in size of staff, since the directors in the larger offices in most States usually receive higher salaries than other directors in the same State. Though other factors may also account for intrastate differences, the influence of size of staff is so overwhelming as to obscure their effect. - 7 - Similarly, the extent to which interstate differences in directors* salaries may be attributable to factors other than size of staff is diffi¬ cult to determine. States v/ith relatively high fiscal ability might be expected to pay better salaries. The data indicate, however, that what¬ ever effect fiscal ability may have on directors* salaries, it is sub¬ ordinate to the effect of size of staff. Agencies in 15 States, including 6 States with below-average per capita income, had a relatively large proportion of large offices (table 4)* In all but 4 of these agencies the average salary of directors was substantially above the average of ^185 for the country as a whole; 2 of the 4 — Indiana and Ohio (A), with averages of only $175 and $185, respectively — v/ere in high-income States. Among the 22 "small-office” agencies, including 4 in States with above-average per capita income, 7 had an average salary for director above the national average. Two of these 7 States — Oregon and V/isconsin — were above average in per capita income, and 5 — Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Utah — were below average.

The findings of this study do not indicate that directors of local offices administering several assistance programs, or welfare programs in addition to the assistance programs, receive higher salaries than those administering a smaller number of programs. Differences in the degree of supervision exercised by State agencies over the appointment of local office personnel or in the extent of local financial participation in salaries may account in part for interagency differences in the average salaries for directors or in the range of salaries paid. Because of the predominant effect of size of office it is impossible to determine the - 9 - Influence of these two factors* For other classes of workers, however, these factors do not appear to be of major importance in accounting for interagency differences in average salaries or in the range of seilaries paid. The high degree of correlation between number of employees and directors! salaries for all States combined is shown in table 5» All of the 91 directors receiving less than |130 a month were in charge of offices with less than 5 employees; on the other hand, all but 1 of the 129 directors with salaries of |300 or more directed offices with 5 or more employees. Only 35 percent of the directors in offices with less than 20 employees were paid $200 or more; 93 percent of the directors in these larger offices received such salaries. The median salary is pro¬ gressively higher as the size of the staff increases — from $145 for offices with the director as the only full-time worker to $310 for the 182 offices staffed with at least 20 employees. - 10 - SUPERVISORS Both the number of supervisore and the number of local offices which employ such personnel are relatively small , Only 1,675 employees were supervisors; they comprised less than 6 percent of all local office personnel and less than 9 percent of local office personnel other than clerks. The 440 offices to which they were attached represented only 15 percent of all off ices. V For purposes of this study the class of supervisor ?ras defined to include only employees whose major fiinction is the supervision of either visitors or supervisors of visitors. To the extent, therefore, that supervision is provided in local agencies by personnel, such as county directors or senior case workers, whose major function is the performance of other duties, these data understate the amount of supervision provided in local offices. Most supervisors work in large offices. Over half were attached to offices with 100 or, more employees and about one-fifth to offices of less than 25 employees. As a result, supervisory I'erscnnel is heavily concentrated in the States with large offices. About 1,000, or three- fifths, were employed in the five States with the largest numbers of supervisors — California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington; New York alone employed 469* Three States — Connecticut, Florida, West Virginia — which Fire organized on a district basis had supervisors in all local offices. At the other extreme were nine States 7/ with no super¬ visory staff employed in any of their 353 local offices, the majority of which are small county offices in rural areas. Average (Median) Salary and Range in Supervisors* Salaries For the country as a whole, salaries of supervisors generally are higher and more nearly uniform than those paid directors or visitors. The median salary of |210 for supervisors is considerably above the medians of $185 for directors and $165 for visitors. The higher average salary for supervisor than for director is accounted for by the fact that the average for director is heavily weighted by the lower salaries paid directors of small offices. Within the same office the director’s salary was always higher than the supervisors’. The interquartile range of $35 for supervisors, which includes the middle half of their salaries, shows considerably less spread than the $65 and $50 ranges for directors and visitors, respectively. Salaries of the middle half fell between $195 and $230.^ Extremes included 1 percent below $160 and 2 percent at $320 or more (table 6). ^ The number of offices with supeivisors is shown, by State, in appendix E. 7/ Idaho, Miss., Mont., Nev., N.Dak., S.Dak., Tex., Vt., Wyo. ^ Appendix table III shows the distribution of salaries paid full-time supervisors by $10 and $20 intervals for 40 agencies and the median and first and third quartiles for 25 agencies with 10 or more super¬ visors. - 11 - CHART 2.

Over half the supervisors whose salaries were reported worked in 39 offices serving areas that in¬ clude a city of 250,000 or more. Almost three-fourths of these 39 offices reported salaries for some supervisors no higher than that paid at least one visitor on the staff.^/ In most of these offices the numbers of supervisors and visitors whose salaries were comparable were small. In the offices in Buffalo, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and New York City, how¬ ever, the extent of overlapping in salaries paid workers in the two classifications was greater than in other large offices. As shown in table 9> both the proportion of supervisors Y^ose salaries were equaled by some visitors and the proportion of visitors paid at rates comparable to those for supervisors were relatively large in these four cities. 2/ Appendix table VT shows the distribution of salaries paid supervisors by $10 and $20 intervals for 39 local offices serving areas that include cities of 250,000 or more population, and the median and first and third quartiles for 16 offices with 10 or more supervisors.

Agencies in States with above-average per capita income tend -bo pay higher salaries than those in other S-bates, Thus 11 of the 14 agencies in high-income States had average salaries at or above the median of $210 for all States. In contrast, the average salary for supervisors was at or above the national average in only 5 of the 11 agencies in low- income States (table 10). The influence of factors other than fiscal ability is indicated by the fact that in New Jersey and Ohio, which have two sets of local offices, tlie average salary for supemdsors in one set of local offices is at the nationel average, and in the other it is below. The findings of this study indicate that differences in the average number of visitors supervised do not account for interagency differences in supervisors* salaries. On -the average, the 440 offices to which super¬ visors were attached had 6 visitors per supervisor. Among the 10 agencies with a median salary equaJ. to the national median of $210, supervisors had on the average from 4 to 8 visitors under their supervision. In the Ohio Division of Aid to the Aged, Tibich has the largest number of visitors per supervisor, the average salary was only $195* On the other hand, among the 3 agencies averaging less than 5 visitors per supervisor, the median salary \:as $210 in the Ohio Division of Social Administration and $230 in Minnesota end Utah. Table 11 shows the average number of visitors per supervisor and the median sedary for supervisors in -bhe 25 agencies employing 10 or more supervisors. - 15 - Table lO,— Average (median)' salary of supervisors in high and low-income States 1/ State agency Average (median) salary State agency Average (median) salary States with above- States with below- average per capita average per capita income: income : r.nl 1 f'rvm^ n. 1210 Colorado •••••••••••• vl90 T1 1 iTlnl R . 230 Florida ............. 195 TnHi Rnn 185 Georgia ............. 185 IrtfiT^irT finr^ _ _ _ _ _ 210 Kansas 210 rh"! crfl.n ............ 250 Loui siana ••••••••••• 210 Naw .Tai*aavi tlR I . ^ ^ 210 Maine ••••«•••••••••• 195 fc) . 195 Minnesota. .•••••••«• 230 TJpw Vr^TV 230 Missouri ............ 195 Ohlo(A) ............. 195 North Carolina. • 190 rpcG) . 210 Utah. ............... 230 Oreg<^n 210 Virginia. ........... 210 Pennsylvania •••••••• 210 Bhode Inland . . 210 Washington. • . . . 250 i/ On the basis of income data for 1945.

About three-fourths of the offices employed one or more full-time visitors. Only the very small offices had no fiill-time visitors; in these offices either an employee classified as director or a part-time visitor performed the functions usually assigned to visitors. More than 3 >000, or a fifth of all visitors, worked in Hew York State. Average (Median) Salary and Range in Visitors* Salaries For the country as a whole, wide differences exist in the salaries paid visitors. These differences are revealed by the considerable pro¬ portion of salaries falling in each class interval between |120 and $220 and by the fact that 4 percent were at the extremes below or above these amounts (table 12). The average (median) salary was $165 with the middle half falling between |145 and 1195.10/ Table 12. — Distribution of visitors » salaries Monthly salary Number Percent Total . 14.830 100.0 Less than $120... •• 450 3.0 120-139.99 . 2,570 17.3 140-159.99 . 3,895 26.3 160-179.99 . 3,414 23.0 180-199.99 . 2,163 14.6 200-219.99 . 2,160 14.6 220 or more... . 178 1.2 The average (median) sala^ of $165 for all visitors is higher than the average in almost two-thirds of the agencies. This situation results from the relatively high salaries paid in New York State and the large proportion of all visitors employed in that State. For this reason the average (median) salary in the median agency — $155 — has been used as a more valid measure of central tendency for purposes of interagency corn- prison. As shown in table 13 and chart 3> the leirgest single group of agencies — 11 — had an average of $155; in another 10, the average was $135 • The highest average ($210 in New York) exceeded the lowest ($115 in Arkansas and Mississippi) by more than 80 percent. 10/ Appendix table IV shows the distribution of salaries paid visitors by $10 and $20 intervals for 50 agencies and the median and first and third quartiles for the 49 agencies with 10 or more visitors. - 17 - CHART 3.

All visitors in five States— Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Texas, and Washington — ^were paid at a rate above the average of $155. At the other extreme , all visitors in four southern States — ^Arkansas, Georgia, liississippi, and South Carolina— received less than this amount. Though interagency differences in salaries paid visitors were considerable, variations in salary among visitors in the same agency were not so great. In about two- thirds of the agencies, the middle half of salaries in each agenpy fell within a range of $20 or less (table 14) . Of the three agencies in which the middle half of salaries fell within a single $10 class inteirval, only Kentucky had a uniform salary for all visitors. At the time a revised pay scale for visitors was adopted in this State, salaries of all visitors were raised to the bottom of the new range. - 19 - Table 14.— Distribution of 48 agencies by interquartile range in visitors* salaries Interquartile range Number of agencies State agency $0 . 3 Ky., N.J.(C), Tex. 10 . 9 Ala., Ark., Ga., Mich., Mo., N.H., S.C., Tenn., TJyo. 20 . 19 Del.

For offices serving cities with a population of 250, CXX) or more, the average Uediea) salary for all visitors was $185* 11/ Here again, the influence of the' higher salaries in New York State is apparent, for New York City vdth more than a third of all visitors attached to large- city offices had an average salary of $210. The average salary in the median office was $165, with 9 offices falling at this average and half the remaining offices falling above, and half below $165 (table 15) . In general, the average (median) salary was relatively high if the office was in a State agency with above-average salaries, and it was low in other offices* Thus, 22 of the 30 large- city offices in State agencies with salaries average or above had hig^ averages, whereas 8 of the 10 large-city offices in State agencies with below-average salaries had low salaries. 11/ Appendix table VII show^s the distribution of salaries paid visitors by $10 and $20 intervals for 48 offices serving areas that include cities of 250,000 or more population and the median and first and third quartiles for the 41 offices with 10 or more visitors. - 20 - Table 15. — Distribution of 41 offices serving cities of 250,000 or more population by average (median) salary of visitors /I signifies a^nistration of old-age assistance; B, aid to the blind; C, aid to dependent children; and G, general assistance^ Average (median) salary , Number of offices City served $125 . 1 Denver Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Providence Baltimore, St. Louis Cincinnati (G) , Cleveland(G) , Jersey City(AB), Louisville, Nev/ark(C), New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Portland Cleveland (BG) Buffalo, Cincinnati (a) , Cleveland(A) , Columbus (A) , Indianapolis, Kansas City, Philadelphia, St. Paul, Toledo (a) Rochester Cincinnati (C) , Los Angeles, Newark(jiB) Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, District of Columbia, Houston, Minneapolis, San Antonio, Seattle Cleveland(C) , New York Milwaukee (A) and (CB) 135 . / 145 . 2 155 . 8 160 . . 1 165 . 9 175 . 7 1 185 . . . 3 195 . 8 210 . 2 230 . 2 Comparison with Salaries Paid Clerical Workers Visitors* salaries usually exceed those paid clerical workers within the same agency. The median salary of tl65 for visitors tos $30 higher than that for clerks. In two-thirds of the agencies the average for visitors was $20 - $30 above the average clerical salary. The re¬ maining agencies, however, showed marked variations in the extent to which salaries for these two classes differed. Connecticut, for example, had the same average salary — $135 — for workers in both classifications, whereas the average salary for visitors exceeded that for clerks by $70 in South Dakota and Texas. Table 16 shows the difference in medians for these two classes of workers for each of 45 agencies for which both medians could be computed. - 21 - Table 16. — Distribution of 45 agencies bj amount of difference between average (median) salary of visitors and of clerks Amount of difference Number of agencies State agency «0 . 1 Conn. 10 . 2 Md., W.Va. 20 . 17 Ala., Colo., Ga., Ind., Iowa, La., Miss., Mont., N.H., N.Mex., N.C., Ohio(ECG), Oreg., S.C., Utah, Va., Wash. 30 . 13 Ariz., Ark., Calif., Idaho, Kans., Mo., Nebr., N.J.(AB), Ohio(A), Pa., R.I., Wis., Wyo. 35 . 1 N.Dak. 40 . 6 Ha., Ill., Maine, Mich., N.J.(C), Tenn. 50 . 2 Minn., Vt. 65 . 1 N.Y. 70 . 2 S.Dak., Tex. Although visitors* salaries on the average are higher than clerks* within the same State agency, 12/ the average salary for visitors in some agencies is considerably belo7/ the average for clerks in other agencies. Thus, in 27 agencies the average salary for clerks exceeded the average for visitors in Arkansas and Mississippi. 13/ Agencies in three States— Arizona, Michigan, and Washington — ^had average salaries for clerks of $155 or more; these were higher than the average for Tisitors in 21 agencies (table 13). Interstate Comparison of Salaries Paid Visitors and Teachers In the comparison which follows, salaries paid visitors and salaries paid elementary and secondary public school teachers in each State are considered high or low relative to amounts paid visitors and teachers, respectively, in other States. In such a comparison, to say a State is relatively hi^ in salaries paid visitors and relatively low in salaries paid teachers does not necessarily mean that visitors receive more than teachers in that State. The comparison indicates only that the- State pays visitors mor% and teachers less, relative to what other States pay visitors and teachers, respectively. Except for Connecticut. See table 20. - 22 - The most recent comprehensive inforju'ition on teachers’ salaries indicates that 24 States paid 6 percent or more of their teachers less than $1,200 in the school year 1945-46. 14/ For purposes of comparison, these States were considered as paying ’’low” salaries to teachers. Similarly, States in which visitors* salaries averaged less than $155 were considered as paying ”low” salaries to visitors. As shovm in the suoaraary below, salaries of both teachers and visitors were relatively ”lov/” in 15 States and relatively ’’high” in 16 States. The remaining 15 States included 9 with ’’high” salaries for visitors and ”low” salaries for teachers and 6 States in which teachers fared relatively better than visitors.

Factors Affecting Visitors’ Salaries Visitors’ salaries tended to be higher in agencies that have a relatively high proportion of large offices and are located in States that rank above average in per capita income. Thus the median salary was at or above the average in 9 of the 12 agencies that met both these con¬ ditions. On the other hand, the median salary was average or above in only 8 of the 20 States that are below average in per capita income and yj National Education Association, The Continuing Crisis in Sducation.

Within States, visitors working in offices tliat serve cities with a population of 250,000 or more usually received higher sslaries than those in other offices in the same agency. In 25 large-city offices, the average salary was higher than that for other offices in the same agency (table IS) • Twelve large-city offices, however, had the same average as the rest of the agency, and 3 — ^Baltimore, Denver, and Prov¬ idence - ^had a lower average. Four State agencies — ^Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — included both large-city offices in which the average was above, and laxge-city offices in which it was the same as that for other offices in the agency. The fact that visitors in larger offices usually received higher salaries than those in small offices probably does not, as it does in the case of directors, represent a significant difference in the content of the job or degree of responsibility. Rather, it probably reflects the need to pay higher salaries in urban areas where the cost of living is higher than elsewhere in the States, State agencies in which visitors on the average are responsible for a relatively large number of cases do not necessarily pay higher salaries. For example, among the 11 agencies with an average (median) salary of $155, tiie average number of cases per visitor ranged from less than 100 to 267 in December 1945. Though interagency differences in salaries apparently are not attributable to differences in case loads, it is entirely possible that within agencies visitors who receive higher salaries may carry more cases. 25 - Table 18.— Comparieon of average (median) salary of visitors in large- city offices and all other offices in the same State agency Large-city office Average (median) Percent of all State City visitors in State Average salary in agency served agency employed (median) all other in specified salary offices office AT phfimfl , ^ ^ T ^ Birmingham Los Angeles 18.6 61.6 $135 185 $125 175 California. . .

Almost 15 percent of the offices had no clerical staff. About a fourth of these were in Kentucky, where all offices at the time of this inquiry operated without clerical personnel; most of the others were one-person offices wiiich usually employ a director only. The 2,800 clerical workers in the loccil offices in New York represented almost a fourth of all clerical personnel. The average (median) monthly salary for the 11,635 clerical workers included in the study was $135; about half the salaries fell within $20 of this average, that is, between $115 and $155 • Though some workers — about 2 percent of the total — received $200 or more, about a third received less than $120, and almost two-thirds, less than $140 (table 19) . li/ Table 19. — Distribution of clerical workers' salaries Monthly salary Number Percent Total . 11,635 100.0 Less than $100*. 1,000 8.6 100 119.99 . 2,965 25.5 120-139.99 . 3,582 30.8 UO-159.99 . 1,953 16.8 160-179.99 . 853 7.3 180-199.99 . 1,023 8.8 200-219.99 . 134 1.2 220 or more . 125 1.1 The average (median) salary of $135 for all clerical workers was higher than the average (median) salary in two-thirds of the agencies. As in the case of visitors, this situation reflects the relatively high salaries paid in New York State and the heavy concentration of clerical personnel in that State. The average (median) salary in the median agency - $125 - , therefore, has been used as the measure of central tendency. Thirteen agencies had an average of $125, with 18 fa3J.ing below, and 14 above this amount (table 20 and chart 4). All clerks in Arkansas received less than this sum and in Washington all received salaries in excess of $125. 15/ Appendix table V shows the distribution of salaries paid clerks ty $l0 end $20 intervals for 48 agencies and the median and first and third quartiles for 46 agencies with 10 or more clerical workers. - 27 - CHART 4.

On the other hand, five agencies in low-income States — ^Arizona, Idaho, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming— reported average salaries in excess of $125. South Carolina and Texas showed the least variation in salaries, with the middle half falling within one $10 class interval. In con¬ trast, the large number of clerical workers in New York received salaries that varied enough to require a $60 range to include the middle half.

Field representatives were defined as the employees with supervisory responsibility for the general adminis¬ tration of local offices and for the activities of local office per¬ sonnel in determining eligibility and providing assistance and service. A total of 439 field representatives were reported by 45 agencies. 18/ Among these agencies, the number of representatives ranged from 1 each in Maine and Nevada to 62 in California. Only 14 agencies had 10 or more field representatives, and more than one- fifth of the total were employed by the two agencies with the largest numbers — California and New York. Average Qiiedian) Salary and Range in Field Representatives* Salaries The average (median) salary for all field representatives was |250. The middle h^f of the salaries fell between ^30 and ^90 — |60 range. 19/ The wide variation in salaries for this class of employee is further indicated by the extremes, which included 4 percent paid less than $200 a month and 9 percent receiving |320 or more (table 27) . Table 27.— Distribution of field representatives* salaries Monthly salary Number Percent Total . 439 100.0 Less than $200.... 18 4.1 200-219.99 . 71 16.2 220-239.99 . 94 21.4 240-259.99 . 97 22.1 260-279.99 . 40 9.1 280-299.99 . 46 10.5 300-319.99 . 34 7.7 320 or more . 39 8.9 Much of the variation in salaries is the resiilt of interagency differences. Among the 14 agencies employing 10 or more field 18/ The Vermont Department of Public Welfare and the West Virginia agency, both of which administer the programs through district offices, and the Delaware Board of Welfare b£.d no field representatives. ]^/ Appendix table IX shows the distribution of salaries paid field representatives by $10 and |20 intervals for 45 agencies and the median and first and third quartiles for the 14 agencies with 10 or more field reoresentatives. - 37 - repres©ntativ6B, the average (median) salary varied from $210 in 2 agencies to $37^ in one (table 28).

Intra-agency differences in salaries, however, are not so great. In 29 agencies all salaries fell either within a single $20 class interval or within two or three consecutive intervals. Moreover, among 10 of the 14 agencies oaploying 10 or more field representatives, the middle half of salaries fell within a range of $20 or less (table 29). Only the California agency paid salaries that covered a wide range in amounts.

Throughout Part II, as in Part I, the terms "agency" or "State agency" refer to the State agency responsible for administering assistance or for supervising the administration of assistance by local agencies. The terra "local office" designates both the local offices of a State agency administering assistance and the local agencies that administer assistance under the supervision of a State agency. A "local office" may, in areas of large population, maintain several branch or district offices; for piirposes of this study the staffs of all such offices were considered to comprise a single local office. For States having more than one State agency included in the study, the programs for which each agency is re¬ sponsible are identified by the letter A for old-age assistance, B for aid to the blind, C for aid to dependent children, and G for general assistance. Only employees on the pay roll are included in the analysis; vacant positions are not considered in either tlie size of the office or the staffing pattern. Since vacancies probably represent between 5 and 10 percent of all established positions, the data reported may in some instances not show staffing as planned. They do show, however, the nmber of workers on the job and carrying out the functions of the local office at the time of the study. In general, therefore, the data may be said to represent usual staffing patterns. Because part-time employment is difficult to measure and is relatively insignificant, the analysis, unless otherwise indicated, is limited to full-time workers. Part-time workers, measured in full-time equivalents, represented only 1 percent of the total number of local office employees. Includes 4B State agencies and the District of Columbia. See appendix table I for detail on agencies participating in the study. Agencies administering the special types of public assistuice in Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma did not participate. In addition, the State agencies adn ini staring general assist-nnee in New Jersey and Oklahoma are not included in the study. Data on local office personnel engaged in the administration of general assistance are reasonably com¬ plete only for Ohio and Nev/ York and for the 21 States in vdiich, as shown in appendix table I, all local offices administering the special types of public assistance also administer general assistance. - 1 - NUMBER MB TIPES OF LOCAL OFFICES AND PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED The special types of public assistance are usually administered by local offices serving a county area. Thus, of the 3»272 local offices ^ administering one or more of these programs, 2,695 (about 82 percent) operate on a county-wide basis. ^ Of the other offices, 478 or 15 percent serve areas smaller than a county unit, i.e., cities or towns or districts including several cities or towns; 93 or 3 percent serve areas comprising more than one county; and one office serves the District of Columbia. Though data on the number and types of local offices engaged in the administration of general assistance are incomplete, it is known that the county is the usxial administrative imit in most States. For the country as a lAiole, however, the many cities, towns, or townships adminis¬ tering this program in a dozen or so States far outnumber the county units that are typical of most States. The very considerable extent to which administration of the three special types of public assistance has been imified in local offices is shown in table 1. About four-fifths of the 2,956 local offices included in this study administer these three programs in combination, end about half ^ also administer general assistance as well. Programs other than these four major types of assistance are exiministered by a large propor¬ tion of the local offices, but information on the other programs was not collected as part of this study. The number of local offices through fhich the State *s public assistance programs are administered is a factor of considerable im¬ portance in obtaining imiform administration of the programs. Other things being equal, the larger the number of local offices, the more com- ^ plex and costly becomes the problem of securing uniform interpretation and application of State-wide standards. More than half the State 7j This is the total for the country as a idiole. Of tiie 2,956 offices included in the study, 122 administer general assistance only, 3 admin¬ ister veterans* assistance. The total of 3>272 includes, therefore, 2,831 local offices reported in this study as administering one or more of the special types of public assistance, and in addition, 5 non¬ participating county offices in California, and 436 offices in juris¬ dictions not participating in the study, viz., Alaska with 4 district offices, Hawaii with 4 county offices, Massachusetts with 351 city or town offices, and Oklahoma Tdth 77 county offices. Most (2,308) of these county offices administer all 3 of the special types of public assistance, and 1,464 of them also administer general assistance. ij Includes 1,006 offices in agencies with ABCG in all offices, 491 of 793 offices in agencies administering ABC in all offices and G in some, and 42 offices of the New York agency administering the 4 programs in combination. - 2 - agencies— 26 of 4S — ^have more than 50 offices. For most State agencies, the n\3inber of coiJnties in the State determines the number of offices, end tvio-thirds of the agencies operate only throi^gh county opices. Xet even among the State agencies operating only on a county basis, 6 States— Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and North Carolina— have 100 or more local offices. In addition. New York, Ohio (BCG), and Virginia, with both city and county offices, have more thnn 100 The local offices in these 9 States represent about two-^iiths of all local offices included in this study.

SIZE OF LOCAL OFFICE STAFFS Local public assistance offices vary greatly in the number of workers employed* Some have a staff of several himdred, but most have very small staffs. More than half the 2,956 offices included in this study had less than 5 fiill-time workers and about 80 percent had less than 10. Seventy-three offices were operated by part-time workers only.^ Thoiigh small offices predominate, the great majority of public assistance employees work in large offices. Thus, three-fourths of all local office personnel are needed to staff the large offices — those with 10 or more employees — ^which comprise only a fifth of all offices (table 3 and chart 1). About one-sixth of all local office employees work in New York City — 4>000 — and Los Angeles — ^1,328.

The size of local office staffs reflects the combined effect of many factors. Even factors that obviously influence the size of staff, such as population and population density, cannot be isolated and their influence separately appraised. Similarly it is impossible to determine the effect on size of staff and the standards of work each agency expects to maintain; of the varying numbers of ?/orkers, depending on their com¬ petence, that are required to meet a specified standard of work, and of the amount of funds available for salaries. Consideration of these factors would underlie an agency* s decision as to the number of cases each worker would be expected to carry. " The following discussion, therefore, is con¬ fined to an enumeration of the more obvious factors, with illustrations, drawn from the study, of their probable effect on size of local office staffs. ^ This criterion for classifying agencies resulted in a division of the agencies included in the study into two groups of approximately equal size.

Exclxides District of Columbia. 2/ Excludes data for 5 counties^ see appendix table footnote 4* - 7 - Size of staff obviously is related to the number of people living in the area served. Most local public assistance offices serve areas corresponding to established minor civil divisions, such as counties, cities, or towns, which differ widely in population size. For this reason, staff requirements vary more widely than they would if each office served an area comprising about the same .population. Density of population may also be a factor affecting size of staff. Local offices in densely populated areas should be able to serve rela¬ tively more people with the same number of employees because the propor¬ tion of staff time spent in travel should be less, and greater speciali¬ zation and attendant economy in the performance of local office functions should be possible. Population per square mile in the 46 States included in the study ranges from 1,0 in Nevada to almost 700 in Rhode Island, Arizona and Colorado, both large-office agencies serving areas with relatively small pop^ations, are below average in population density. Variations in the proportion of the population in receipt of assistance in areas with the same total population also influence the size of staff, Unfortmately data showing the effect of such variations on size of staff are not available. Moreover, funds to provide the staff required may be a factor of some importance. Thus, three of the lowest income States — Alabama,, Mississippi, and North Carolina — have relatively small offices despite the relatively large population served. In addition, case loads per individual employee are above average in these States. Limited program coverage may account for small offices in some areas with large populations. For example, the Delaware Board of Welfare, which administers aid to dependent children and child welfare services only, and the Ohio Division of Social Administration (BCG), with some offices responsible for only one program, have small offices serving areas with relatively large populations. - 8 - COIJPOSITION OF LOCAL OFFICE STAFFS Einployees in local public assistance offices include those classified in one of four major groups— director, supervisor, visitor, and clerk. In addition, some local offices reported employees in other classifications, such as technician, administrative assistant, spe¬ cialist, or maintenance and custodial worker. The number of full-time employees in each of these five groups 2/ was as follof^s: Type of Dosition 1/ Number Percentage distribution Total .... 32.122 100.0 Director. . . . 2,657 8.3 Supervisor, • 1,675 5.2 Visitor.. . • . U,819 46.1 Clerk . . . 11,635 36.2 Other . . 1,336 4.2 1/ For definition of each type of worker, see page 24, Directors, visitors, end clerks are found in most offices, super¬ visors and other workers, in relatively few. Offices without employees in each of the three most common positions are, with fev; exceptions, veiy small. These ver^’- small offices, i.e,, those vdth less than five full¬ time employees, represent more than half the total. Staffing patterns in these offices are summarized in table 5* There is considerable uniformity among States in the types of positions filled by full-time employees in these small offices. Usually the one-person office includes a director; the tw’o-person office, a director and clerk; the three-person office, a director, visitor, and clerk; and the four-person office, a director with either tv/o visitors and a clerk or two clerks and a visitor. Kentucky is the only State with many small offices that showed an entirely different pattern; it had no director or clerical position in any local office. In most States, deviation from the usual staffing pattern probably resulted from vacan¬ cies. Most offices have a director as the responsible head. About 90 percent of the 2,956 offices included in the study employed a full-time director. About a third of the offices without a full-time director had a part-time director; such offices were scattered among 14 States. 7/ Appendix table III shows the number of full-time workers in each classification, by agency. For number of part-time employees in these positions, see page 16. ^ Appendix table II show^s the classification of fiill-time employees of one, two, three, and four-person offices, by agency. - 9 - Most of the remaining offices with no director were in the three agen¬ cies— Delaware (C), Kentucky, and Vermont — that do not provide for thas position in any local office, ^ The rest of the offices without a director presumably had vacant positions. 10/ Table 5. — Staffing patterns in local offices with one, two, three, or four full-time employees Size of office and type of position Offices Number Percentage distribution Onp— •nf'.rsnn of flee, , 177 100.0 Director. «... . . 64.1 Visitor . «... . . 65 23.6 Clerk . 33 12.0 Other. 1 .4 Two— person off ice.**. ^20 406 100.0 Director-clerk. •**• . 78.1 Director-visitor. .*..*..*,•. 56 10.8 Visitor-clerk. •.•*•••.*•.••« 20 3.8 Other combinations. 38 7.3 Three— person office 489 403 100.0 Director- visitor-clerk . 82.4 Director-2 clerks... . 39 8.0 2 visitors-1 clerk.......,,. 14 2.9 Other combinations.. 33 6.7 Four-person office 282 100.0 Director-2 visitors-l clerk.

In Kentuclcy more than half the local offices have only one employee; in the offices vath more than one employee, it is possible that one staff member may carry responsibility that in other States would be assimied by an employee ctctually classified as a director. In Delawai'e and Vermont the number of local offices is small; becauvse the States also are small, it seems likely that direction is sup¬ plied through State office personnel, 10/ Appendix table III shows the nuEiber of full-time directors reported by each agency. - 10 - Approximately a fourth of the directors either worked alone or had only a clerical staff. More than 90 percent of those directors were in the one or two-person offices of 32 State agencies, 11/ At the other extreme, a few directors had office staffs of hundreds of workers in many different types of positions (table 6), Table 6, — ^Niimber of full-time employees responsible to the director in local offices serving cities with a population of 500,000 or more, by type of position 1 City served Number of full-time employees Total Supervisors Visitors Clerical workers Others y New York,,,,, . . 3,999 272 1,865 1,516 346 Los Angeles,**#.**,,. 1,327 83 553 557 134 Chicago, 685 59 356 245 25 Philadelphia . . . . 560 43 270 209 ■ 38 Pittsburgh, ,,,•*,,,,« 442 45 208 139 50 Buffalo ,••**,.,, . 395 33 183 152 Z1 St, Louis,,, . . 281 28 146 99 8 Detroit . 222 22 140 57 3 Baltimore . 221 27 120 58 16 District of Columbia. 115 9 49 44 13 Milwaukee (A),,.,,,.. 35 2 20 12 1 (BC) . 16 0 . 10 6 0 Cleveland (A). **•..,. 82 5 49 25 3 (C) . 43 5 26 10 2 1 (BG) . 50 4 22 20 4 ' (G) . 46 4 18 21 3 "y Includes administrative assistants, technicians, specialists, and main¬ tenance and custodial workers. Visitors were employed by local offices of all State agencies 12/ and represented the largest group of workers in most offices. Neverthe¬ less, a fourth of the local offices, usually the one or two-person office in which a director-w'orker performed the social work activities, included no fiill-time visitors, 12/ 11/ See appendix table II for number of offices, by agency, in which the director had only clerical staff, 12/ Appendix table III shows the nimiber of full-time y/orkers in each classification, by agency, 13/ Appendix table II shows positions in one and two-person offices, by agency. - 11 - Most offices with full-time visitors also employed clerical per¬ sonnel. Only 15 percent of the offices had no full-time clerical help, and less' than 2 percent of the visitors were in these offices. About a fourth of such offices and a large proportion of the visitors in such offices were in Kentucky. Most of the others were "director- only" of¬ fices in other States. For each full-time visitor there was, for all agencies combined, less than one full-time clerk; more precisely, there were 8 clerks for every 10 visitors. Data for the large-city offices illustrate the extent to which individual offices differed in providing clerical help (table 7).

More than half of these large-city offices averaged 6 to 8 clerks for every 10 visitors. Extremes above and below the average probably re¬ flected some differences in responsibilities of local offices as well as different staffing policies among State agencies. Vacancies also may have acco\mted for some of the variation. Within agencies, however, ratios were usuedly similar. For example, in Ohio the local offices of the Division of Aid for the Aged serving Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo had fewer clerks than visitors, whereas in the Division of Social 12 - Administration, fliiich has several small offices serving each area, clerks usiially were more nvimerous than visitors. The Philadelphia- Pittsburgh, Kansas City-St. Louis, and Dallas-Houston-San Antonio offices as groups, were similarly staffed. On the other hand, marked differences in the ratio of clerks and visitors existed between Minne¬ apolis and St. Paul and bet?/een the local offices administering old-age assistance and aid to the blind in Jersey City and Newark. Personnel classified as supervisors are for the most part employed only in a few large offices. For the purpose of this study, the class of supervisor was defined to include only employees whose major function is the supervision of either visitors or other supervisors of visitors. To the extent that supervision is provided by other personnel, such as a State field representative, or a director or senior case worker, the data on number of supervisors understate the amount of supervision in local offices.

Table 8 shows the distribution of offices, by agency. More than half the 1,675 supervisors reported were attached to the few offices with 100 or more employees, and only a fifth, to those frith less than 25* 1^/ California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, the five States with the largest numbers of supervisors, employed three-fifths of the total. New York alone employed 469* 15/ Connecticut, Florida, and West Virginia, which are organized on a district basis, had supervisors in all local offices. At the other extreme, nine States had no supervisor in any of their 353 local offices. Some differences in supervisors* responsibilities are shown by their number in relation to the number of visitors in the same offices (table 9). The combined average was six visitors per supervisor.

Measured in full-time equivalents, they represented only 1 percent of the total number of local office employees and were employed by less than a fourth of all local offices. 16/ Ten 17/ of the 49 agencies had no part-time workers, and a majority of the 39 agencies with some part-time personnel employed them in only a few local offices. Only one agency, the Delaware Board of Welfare with 3 locsil offices, had part-time workers in each local of¬ fice .18/ ^ The status of offices with respect to part-time employment was as follows: Total. . .

The 863 part-time workers reported were equivalent to approx¬ imately 391 full-time workers (table 10). Though they comprised 3 percent of all employees, their time on the job represented only 1 per¬ cent of total staff time. Many of the part-time employees reported were in the miscel- laneoiis "other” classification, which includes the specialists and main¬ tenance and custodial workers. This group, however, represented less than one-fifth of the part-time staff measured in terms of full-time equivalents (table 10). Twenty agencies included workers in this group; Louisiana, Maine, and New Mexico employed local office staff on a part-time basis in only IJiese miscellaneoiis classifications. 16/ Part-time employees include both those working part time and those working on a part-time basis in more than one office whose com¬ bined time amounted to a full-time job. 17/ Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Idaho, Michigan, New Jersey(C), Ohio(A), South Carolina, West Virginia, Wyoming. 18/ Appendix table IV shows part-time employees in each classification, by agency. - 15 - Table 10.— Distribution of part-time employees by type of position Type of position Full-time employees Part-time employees Total number Full-time equivalents Number Percent¬ age dis¬ tribution Percent of all employees Total 32,122 1/ 863 391 100,0 1.2 Director. . . 2,657 99 U 11.3 1.6 Supervisor. 1,675 17 9 2.3 .5 Visitor. . • • H,319 231 116 29.7 .3 Clerk. ..... 11,635 303 150 33.4 1.3 Other. . 1,336 1/ 213 72 18.4 5.1 \J Excludes 94 part-time workers for whom information on full-time equiv¬ alents was not available.

More agencies employed such workers, and the largest number of part-time personnel was in this group, which totaled almost half the part-time employees in the four groups. Texas made the most use of part-time clerical staff; about a fifth of all these workers were in the Texas offices. Part-time clerks accounted for nearly 10 percent of all clerical time in that agency and were employed in about half the offices. Visitors represented a little more than a third of the four major classes of positions filled by part-time workers. Almost a thii^i of the part-time visitors were in Kentucky where they represented more than 10 percent of total visitor time. All these visitors, however, were - 16 - actually full-time employees who worked part time in more than one local office. Seventy- two of the 120 local offices in Kentucky had some part- time visitors, including 12 in which they were the only persons in the office* Tliere were relatively few part-time local office directors— only 99 in 14 agencies. Two-thirds of the part-time directors were in three agencies — ^Nebraska, Ohio (BCG), and Washington* Seventy-three offices operated with part-time workers only* For the most part, these workers were classified as visitors or directors* Offices in Kentuclcy, Nebraska, and Ohio (BCG) accounted for about three- fourths of the total; there were a few others in each of eight other States — California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Virginia* - 17 - Table I.— Distribution of loc^l offices, by State and number of full-time State Agency Administering 1/ Type of loc&l office ‘fhree special General assistance ty u e s o f public aeeiet”* ance 2/ All local offices Some local offices Alabama Department of Public Welfare County X X Ar isona Department of Social Security and Welfare County X X Arkansas Department of Public Welfare County X X California Department of Social Welfare County X X Colorado Department of Public Welfare County X X Connecticut Office of Commissioner of Welfare: Division of Public Assistance District ^ X Delaware Board of Welfare County C only District of Columbia Board of Public Welfare: Public Assistance end Children's Services City X X Florida Welfare Board District ^ X X Georgia Department of Public Welfare County X Idaho Department of Public Assistance County 6/ X X Illinois Public Aid Commission County X ludiazia Department of Public Welfare County X Iowa Department of Social Welfare Co’inty X X iCansas Department of Social Welfexs County X X Kentucky Department of Public Welfare: Division oi' Pxibllc Auolstance Cox:nt7 X Louisiana Department of Public Welfare Farleh ^ X X Maine Departz&ent of Health and Welfare District ^ X Maryland Department of Public Welfare County X X Michigan Denartment of Social Welfare County X X Minnesota Department of Social Security: Division of Social Welfare Coun ty X X Mississippi Department of Public Welfare County X Missouri Social Security Commission County A&C X Montana Department of Public Welfare County 6/ X X Nebra(d:a Department of Assistance and Child Welfare County X X Nevada Welfare Department: Division of Old Age Assistance District 5/ A only New Hampshire Department of Public Welfare District 5/ X Mew Jersey Department of Institutions and Agencies: Division of Old Age Assistance County D 1 a t.r 1 r t. ^ C nnly New Mexico Deoartment of Public Welfare County X X New York Department of Social Welfare County and city 77 X V X North Carolina Board of Public Welfare ^ County X X North Dakota Public Welfare Board County X X Ohio Department of Public Welfare; County A only Division of Social Administration County and city ^ 6/ Mc' ^ X.

INTROEUCTICN Under title I of the Social Security Act, grants-in-aid are niade to States to enable them to furnish old-age assistance, as far as prac¬ ticable under the conditions in the State, to aged needy individuals. Each State established its own standards, policies, and procedures lor determining v;ho is needy and the amomt of assistance needed. The Federal act requires, however, that in determining need the State shall take into consideration any income and resources of an individual claiming assistance. As would be expected in view of the fact that responsibility rests with the States for establishing assistance standards and that the States differ greatly both in their attitudes toward meeting need and their ability to finance a share of the cost, great variation exists among the States in the amounts and relative adequacy of assistance payments. Although some States have from time to time made detailed studies of the requirements and resources, including assistance, of their recipients of old-age assistance, uniform inlormation of this type has not in the past been available for a substantial number of States. Consequently, the Bureau of Public Assistance has been forced to rely heavily on data on the amounts of individual payanents and on average payments as reflecting State differences in what public assist¬ ance agencies determine that old people require and what they have to live on. To supply a more nearly adequate basis for evaluating State differences in assistance payments, the Bureau of Public Assistance, with the voluntary cooperation of 21 State public assist&nce agencies, undertooK in 1944 to obtain information on the amounts that recipients required to meet their needs, the amounts and sources oi their iiicomes, and the aiaoimts of their assistance.!^/ In December 194:? a preliminary report was issued summarizing the results of the State studies, which were conducted on a sample basis in some month within the period April-Nov ember 1944. This report presents an analysis of in¬ formation contained in the preliminary report. U The participating States were: Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana also supplied some information compiled in an independent State-wide study before the plan for the Bureau’s study was completed. California District of Columbia Illinois Kansas Maine New Hampshire New Mexico North Carolina North Dakota Oklahoma Piiode Island Tennessee Vermont Virginia West Virginia 2J Public Assistance Report No. '9, Preliminary Tables on Incomes and Living Arrangements of Recipients of Old-Age Assistance in 21 States » 1944. y The sample data have been inflated to give each State its proper weight in the data for all States combined. For a statement on the size of the State samples and on the sampling method, see the appendix, p. 42. Since the time of the study, assistance levels have risen sharply, reflecting primarily the effects of changes in the federal law find mounting living costs. In 194^, Congress amended title I of the Social Security Act to provide a larger Federal contribution. The maximum on the individual monthly payment in which the Federal Government will participate was increased from t40 to $4b, and the federal share of expenditures for assistance also was raised. Al- though payments are generally higher than in 1944> the variation in State average payments has not been significantly narrov»ed. To reduce the degree of variation, the Social Security’ Adiiiinistration has recommended to Congress further amendiaent of the Social Security * Act to authorize special Federal aid to low-income States, taking into account the State's fiscal ability .4/ ■ -T With the availa.bility of additional Federal funds, the Bureau of Public Assistance and State public assistance agencies placed re¬ newed emphasis on the achievement of the requirement, implicit in the Social Security Act, of equitable treatment of needy individuals'^- in similar circumstances within a State. Assistance standards that are definite and capable of reasonably uniform application through¬ out the State are essential to reaching this goal.^ Since the amendments became effective, 'most States have made progressive changes in their State plans and procedures relating to the deteraiina- tion of requirements and consideration oi resources. Through its continuing reviev/ of State administration, the Bureau has had oppor¬ tunity to ascertain that these changes are generally resulting in greater uniformity within States in the amounts of assistance re¬ ceived by persons in similar circumstances, ffill attainment of this objective, however, will necessitate not only a larger Federal con¬ tribution to low-income States but also basic changes in methods of financing public assistance in some States in which the localities contribute funds ij See Annual Report of the Feder.-fL Security Agency.

Social Security Administration, Bureau of Research and Statistics Memorandum No. 66, pp. 181-206. - 2 - Since 1944, it is probable that changes have occurred in the amounts of income of recipients from sources other than assistance, as well as in the amounts oi their assistance, fewer part-time jobs are open to aged persons of limited employability th?^n in 1944, which was a war year. Higher living costs may have lessened the ability of many relatives to contribute to the support ol needy old persons. On the other hand, in some States more restrictive policies may have resulted in greater efforts to obtain contributions from relatives. Thus the assistance payment may represent a larger or smaller com¬ ponent of total income than in 1944 • Despite the important changes that have occurred since 1944, the data here presented should prove useful in illustrating the differences from State to State and within States in what recipients then had to live on and the sources of tlieir incomes. The report shows also the substantial inequities resulting in 1944 in certain States from lack of uniformity in stajidards, policies, cjcid procedures for determining amounts of assistance. The report, moreover, serves as a bench mark for measuring progress in achieving the objective of equitable treatment of persons in similar circumstences. - 3 - II. CLASSIFICATION OF CASES In determining the amounts of assistance payments, public assistance agencies commonly follow the practice of preparing a budget for each recipient or case. A budget is prepared in accord¬ ance vdth agency policies for the determination of requirements and their cost and for the consideration of the resources that can be applied to meeting the requirements. In some States, at the tijiie of the study, it was the policy to include in a budget the require¬ ments of only one individual, and to consider resources available to meet his neads. Policies in other States permitted the inclusion of requirements and resources of additional members of the family. To assure maximm comparability in the data, a uniform definition of a case was established, and cases were classified according to their composition. A case was defined as consisting of all persons in the assistance group; that is, all individuals whose personal requirements were included in the budget in determin¬ ing the assistance payment or payments. Cases consisting of the recipient only — or "the recipient and spouse only — and of the re¬ cipient and others, with or without spouse, were separately classified. In recipient-only cases, the requirements and resources of one recipient were included in the budget and the assistance payment was intended to meet the needs of this recipient only. For cases of recipient and spouse only, the requirements and resources of both husband and vdfe were included in the budget. The spouse may have been eligible for assistance or may have been included as essential to the well-being of the recipient. Similarly, the cases that in¬ cluded the recipient and others, with or without the spouse, might have included one or more persons — other than the recipient — eligible for old-age assistance. V/hether separate payments were made to individuals in cases that included tuo or more persons depended on the eligibility of each individual in the case, and on agency practice. If only one in¬ dividual was eligible, one payment was made to the case. When there were two or more eligible individuals, the number of assistance pay¬ ments depended on the practice of the State. Some States usually made a separate payment to each eligible individual, while several others met the needs of two or more eligible individuals through one assistance payment. Most of the analysis in this report relates to recipient-only cases and to those that included the recipient and spouse only. Thus the influence of differences both in budgeting practices and in com¬ position of the case load is minimized in State comparisons. - 4 - III. REQUIREME3JTS Since each State agency establishes its o'An standards lor requirements, they vary widely from State to State, State agencies commonly designate specific basic items that people require for living, such as food, shelter, clothing, and household operating- expense. Often the standards s^jecify the circumstances under which additional items are to be included. Some reci^^ients, for example, need uioney -with which to obtain medical care. Other recipients may not require medical care or may be able to obtain it by means other than through the money payment. Differences exist not only in the content of the standards for a given item but also in the range of items recognized. Some ox the variations reflect differences in the economic resources of the States end their ability to appropriate funds for assistance. Public assistance agencies with comparatively adequate funds have tended to include larger amounts for the basic requirements and to recognize a greater variety of specified circumstances necessitating additional amounts of money for certain groups of individuals than agencies with less adequate appropriations. In some States, at the time of tlie study, all items recognized as reouirements v/ere mandatory in part or in whole with the local agency; in a few States all items were optional vlth the local agency. State agencies varied also in their cost figures for a given item. These may have been for a fixed amount, varied only for differences in local costs, or they may have represented either a range of amounts or a maximum or minimum amount that might be included by the local agency. Sometimes cost figures were intended only as guides to workers. States differed, moreover, in the frequency with which cost figures were revised to take account of price changes. Although the current policy of the Bureau of Public Assistance calls for the establishment of State-wide standards governing the requirements common to all recipients and tne requirements common to recipients in certain specifisd circumstances, in 1944 some of the States participating in the study did nor have standards for all requirements tiiat were State-wide or definite. AVERAGE COST OF REQUIREMENTS Other State differences in budgeting practices affect the comparability of information on the cost of requirements. Some States do not include the cost of requirements that are available to the re¬ cipient — for example, free shelter. Other States include the cost of requirements and offset as resources the value of the items available 786346 0 - 48 -2 - 5 - in kind. Three of the 21 States — California, New Mexico, and North Dakota — included the cost of all requirements for all cases. Massa¬ chusetts, Iittissouri, North Carolina, and Vifest Virginia placed a money- value on income in kind in nearly all cases vdth such income. In the other States, however, a substantial proportion of the cases had income in kind on which no exact value was placed, with the result that the item available in kind was not included in the requirements.?/ To obtain comparability in the State data on the cost of requirements, cases for which the money value of items available in kind was not included in the requirements were excluded from this analysis. Tlie amounts shown, therefore, represent the total cost of all require¬ ments, as determined by the agency under standards in effect at the time -the study was made for cases in which the total cost was known. The number of persons in the assistance group also influenced the variation in amounts reported as requirements. California, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota took into account only the requirements of -the recipient, while the other 16 States included the requirements of more than one person in -the budgets for some cases. As stated previously, cases in these 16 States have been classified as recipient-only cases, cases that in¬ cluded the recipient and spouse, and those that included other per¬ sons, with or T/ithout the spouse. The analysis has been confined largely to data for the first two types of cases. REQUIREMENTS OF CASES WITH THE COST OF ALL REQUIRE^IENTS KNOWN The amounts of requirements of cases consisting of the re¬ cipient only, with the total cost of requirements known, represent the amounts, in cash or in kind, that the agencies determined these recipients needed to live on. The average monthly cost of require¬ ments for such cases for -the 21 States combined (excluding flat- gran t- minus-income cases in California) was ^^35. 64. The average was lowest in Tennessee ($18.31) and highest for budget cases in California ($61.11), and ranged between $30 and $40 in I4 of the 21 States (table 1) . Similar variation occurred among States in cases consisting of the recipient and spouse, Yd.th the cost of all requirements known. In the 16 States that computed these requirements jointly the average amount ranged from $30.38 in Tennessee to $73.4? in Massachusetts. In each of these States except Kansas the average was more than 30 percent greater than the average amount for recipient-only cases, and 7/ Cases for which the value of relatively small amounts of income in kind (less than $3) was not known are classified as having the total cost of requirements known. - 6 - Table 1.— Average requirements for cases with all requirements known, by type of assistance case, in a month in 1944 State Average per case for — Recipient- only cases ^ Recipient- and- spouse cases 2/ Total . i/ $35.64 $49.25 California, budget cases 4/.. 61.11 V - District of Columbia . 37.75 — Illinois . 34.26 — Kaneat . 30.14 44.21 Maine . 34.14 55.16 Massachusetts . 46.36 75.47 Michigan . 34.61 . — Minnesota . 33.22 — Mississippi . 24.37 39.55 Missouri . 30.O8 ■ 53.71 Montana . 37.24 60.12 New Hampshire . 31.72 53.96 New Mexico . 31.17 51.22 North Carolina . 28.27 44.93 North Dakota . 38.63 63.16 Oklahoma . . 31.57 51.25 • Rhode Island . 39.02 65.53 Tennessee . 18. 51 30.58 Vermont . 33.78 51.82 Virginia . 24.61 4h.i7 West Virginia . 22.07 36.75 1/ 21 States. 2/ 16 States; excludes 5 States that made separate budgets for each ” eligible individual. 2/ Excludes flat-grant cases in California, for which payments were determined by deducting income, if any, from $50* 4/ Represents budget cases for which payments were determined, with- ” in the $50 maximum, by deducting income from the amount of total need computed according to a standard budgetary guidp , in Missouri and Virginia it was almost 80 percent greater. The per¬ centage by which the average amount of requirements of recipient-and- spouse cases was greater than the average amount for recipient-only cases was as follows; Percent State Less than 50.0 . Kansas. 50.0 - 54.9 . Vermont. 55.0 - 59.9 . North Carolina. 60.0 - 64.9 . Massachusetts, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma. 65.0 - 69.9 . Rhode Island, Tennessee, 7/est Virginia. 70.0 - 74.9 . New Hampshire. 75.0 - 79.9 . Mssouri, Virginia VARIATION IN INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMEl^TS . , In recipient-only cases with the cost of all requirements known, the amount of requirements ranged from less than ^10 in 4 States to $100 or more in 13 States. The larger ligures resulted, for the most part, from the inclusion in some States of substantial amounts to cover requirements for medical care in a few cases. The distribution of cases by cimount of requirements varied greatly from State to State. In Massachusetts, lor example, the requirements of more then one-third of the cases were $40-49-; and relatively few had requirements of less tiian |30 or more than |60 (table 2) . At the other extreme, almost two-thirds of the cases in Tennessee were determined to have requirements of less than $20, and only about 1 percent had requirements of $40 or more. Not only does the dis¬ tribution vary among States, but it also varies among recipients in each of the States, except for the flat-grant-minus-income cases in California. Some variation is to be expected in the amounts individuals need to live on. If substantial amounts for medical care were in¬ cluded, the individual requirements would differ greatly within a State. Considerable variation might be expected in States with both large urban centers end highly rural areas, where costs of shelter differ substantially. In all States, however, marked variation was found in the amounts of requirements not accounted lor by either of these factors. In West Virginia, for example, though no medical care was included, the total requirements of almost 11 percent of the cases were determined to be $10 to $14, while for somewhat more than 11 percent they ranged from $30 to $49. In the District of Columbia, an entirely urban area, medical care was included for very few cases; yet the requirements ranged from $1^ to $19 in O.4 percent of the cases to $60 or more in 1.9 percent of the cases. - 8 - ible 2, — ^Percentage distribution of recipient-only cases with all requirements mown, by specified amount of total requirements, for 21 States in a month in 1944 Percentage distribution of cases with total requirements of — S j Less than $20 $20-29 $30-39 $40-49 $50-59 $60 or more j Total l! . 1 5*9 29.2 33.1 18.2 8.6 5.0 1 slifornia 2/ . ... 60.9 39.1 Istrict of Columbia. .4 10.9 53.7 25.8 7.4 1.9 Ilinois . 1.2 26.9 42.7 27.7 .9 .7 aaeas . 7.1 47.2 31.7 10.9 2.2 .9 aine . 5.8 28.3 38.8 20.8 3.0 3.3 lassachusetts .

IV. INCOME As has already been indicated, the Social Security Act re¬ quires that in determining need lor old-age assistance the State agency shall talce into account any income and resources oi the per¬ son requesting assistance. Such income may be in the form of cash or of goods or services available to recipients without cost. The Bureau of Public Assistance has alv/ays recommended that, in inter¬ preting this requirement, the income or resource should be real and available to meet in part the needs of the recipient. CASH INCOIuE OTHER TIM ASSISTANCE This section of the report presents data on cash income that v;as considered in determining the ajnount of assistance. Table 4 shows the percentage of cases with cash income and the distribution of cases and of income by type ol assistance case.

Slightly more than one-fiith of the recipient-only cases, and more than half those including recipient and spouse, had cash income other than assist¬ ance.^ For cases that included the recipient and others, with or without spouse, the proportion was almost two- thirds. Although this latter group constituted only 6 percent of all cases in the study, the group had almost one- third of the total cash incoflie. Five States had no assistance cases falling in this classification > and in a few States the number was relatively small. Significant State dif¬ ferences, therefore, are reflected more closely if cases that con¬ sisted of the recipient only and those including the recipient and spouse are considered separately. Cash Income of Recipient-Only Cases Slightly more than one-fifth of the recipient-only cases hfd cash income from soui’ces other than assistance. The proportion ranged from about 7 percent in West Virginia to approximately 4O percent in the adjoining State of Virginia (table 5). The wide range and the position of the States in the array are somewhat difficult to explain. It might have been assu:Tied that relatively more recipients would have cash income of their own in States where assistance standards as reflected by average requirements are moder¬ ately high, since more cases with some income would presumably be eligible in those States. In some States with low average require¬ ments, however, large proportions of the recipients were rexjorted as having cash income. The four States that reported the largest proportion of recipients with cash income — Virginia, Missouri, Mississippi, and Nortli Caroline. — are among those with relatively low average requirements. On the other hand, Tennessee and West Virginia, which also had low average requirements, reported that only 19 and 7 percent, respectively, of their recipients had cash income. Variations that cannot be explained also occurred among States with relatively high average requirements. In Massachusetts, more than one-fourth of the recipient-only cases had some cash in¬ come otbier than assistance. In California, which ranked highest in average requirements of recipients, only one aged person in five had cash income that w'as considered a resource in determining need. Riiode Island, which ranked third in the ainount of average require¬ ments of recipient-only cases, reported only one recipient in eight with cash income other tliEin assistance. ^ For States that prepared a separate budget for each eligible in¬ dividual, husbands and wives each receiving old-age assistance are classified as recipient-only cases. - 13 - 786346 0 - 48 -3 Table 3* — Percent of recipient-only cases vith cash income other than assistance, and average amount of such income, for 21 States in a month in 19H4 State Cases with cash income other than assistance Average per case for — Percent of all cases State rank All recipient- only cases Recipient- only cases with cash income other than assistance Total . 21.5 — $2.46 $11.42 Virginia . . 39.5 -1 3.74 9.46 Missouri . 3^.7 2 3.10 8.94 Mississippi . 30.1 3 . 1.65 5.^7 North Carolina . 29.1 4 2.16 7.43 Massachusetts . 27.4 5 4.94 18.01 Xsjisas . 25.5 6 ' 1.91 7.50 Michigan . . 24.8 7 2.55 10.28 Vermont . 23.8 8 3.12 13 .08 District of Columbia.. 21.5 9 3.04 14.13 Montana . 21.5 10 2.33 10.85 California . 21.0 11 3.39 16.11 North Dakota . 20.9 12 2.21 10.58 Tennessee . 19.4 13 .79 4.06 Illinois . 18.6 14 1.69 9.09 New Hampshire . 14.6 15 1.45 9.98 Minnesota . 13.6 16 1.29 9.52 New Mexico . 12.6 17 .72 5.73 Maine . 12.5 18 1.7s 14.28 Bhode Island . 12.2 19 2.08 17.06 Oklahoma . 11.7 20 .93 7.91 West Virginia . 6.7 21 .41 (1) y Not computed because number of cases included in this claasif ication in sample was less than ^0, - U - These wide differences undoubtedly reflect, in part, varia¬ tions in policies and practices with respect to consideration and evaluation of income. An examination of data on the average amount of cash income of recipient-only cases throws some light on these differences. For all such cases in the 21 States the average cash income was only $2.46. For cases with cash income the average was $11.42, with the highest averages occurring in the wealthier States. The average for Massachusetts was $13; for Rhode Island, $17; and for California, $16. In Virginia, Missouri, and North Carolina, ^ich had a large proportion of cases with cash income, the averages for such cases were about half those in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and California. Mississippi's average was about one- third that in each of these States. Three of the States in which a high proportion of the cases had cash income — Virginia, Mississippi, and North Carolina — have very limited funds for assistance. In an effort to spread assist¬ ance funds as far as possible among all recipients, these States may have considered very small amounts of income that did not con¬ tribute materially to meeting the needs of recipients on a continuing basis. Source of Cash Income of Recipient-Only Cases Recipients derived their cash income, other than that pro¬ vided through assistance, from a variety of sources, such as earn¬ ings, contributions from relatives, servicemen's allowances, benefits under the program of old-age and survivors insurance, and income from property. The various types of income were not eqxially impor¬ tant as a resource, whether measured in terms of the number of re¬ cipients with income from a particular source or in terms of the amount of that income. The following discussion, limited to cases of recipients only, attempts to evaluate the relative importance of several types of cash income from both these standpoints. In some instances the importance of a particular source varies with the composition of the assistance case. Earnings. — Despite the handicap age places on employability, 5 percent of the recipients in the 20 States for which, data are available had income from employment (table 6) . Average earnings for recipients with earnings were $8.27 (table 7). The average ranged from $3-55 in Tennessee to $13.64 in Massachusetts and $13.72 in the District of Columbia. Income from earnings represented 17 percent of all cash income other than assistance. The proportion of cases with income from earnings ranged from 2 percent in California, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and West Virginia to approximately I6 percent in North Carolina and Virginia (table 6). Although there doubtless was some variation among the States in em¬ ployment conditions in 1944, this would not appear to account for the wide range in the proportion of recipients with earnings.

One agency remarked that small amounts of temporary or intermittent cash resources were too frequently considered as existing permanently; another agency indi- 1 cated that the amounts of cash income from earnings seemed to be overstated in many instances . Similar situations have been found in some other States or local areas. Cash contributions from relatives. — Contributions from rel¬ atives constituted the most important source of cash income other than assistance, from the standpoint of both the number of cases in which such income was taJcen into account and the amount of this in¬ come. Tlie significance of income from relatives varied widely among the States. Part of the variation doubtless stemmed from differences in the ability of relatives to assist their aged kin. On the other hand, some of the differences are attributable to specific provisions of State laws or agency policies regarding the responsibility of rel¬ atives. A few States set up objective scales for amounts of contri¬ butions bgsed on the relative's income, number of other dependents, and other financial responsibilities. In other States, agencies have policies to be followed on an individual-case basis in exploring this resource. Somewhat less than one-tenth of all cases were shown as re¬ ceiving cash contributions from relatives (table '6), and the average contribution amounted to about $11 a month (table 7). Income from this source represented 40 percent of the cash income, other than assist£ince, availa^ble. Most of the States with a high proportion of recipients with cash income from earnings ranked 'high also in the relative number who received contributions from relatives (table 6). These States included some with comparatively low economic resources, v/here it may be assumed that relatives are least able to make regular cash contributions to recipients and v:here assistance pa.yments are low. In Virginia, such contributions were considered a resource of more than one-fifth oi the recit-dents . In Mississippi and North Carolina, also, comparatively high proportions of recipients were reported as receiving cash income from relatives.

In contrast, some other States in which per capita income was low re¬ ported relatively few recipients with contributions from relatives, and even when such support was provided the amounts were small.

SteteF lirnitations^ imposed by maximums on individual payments and in others, inability to make pajmients to meet the iull amount ol the budget deficit. Variations in the amount of average assistance payments were largely responsible for differences in the proportion of cash income irora each source. For recipient-only cases, for example, average cash income from sources other than assistance vifas approximately the same for North Dakota and North Carolina — ^2.21 and |2.l6, respectively. Because assistance paynients in North Dakota averaged $33 *27 for re¬ cipient-only cases, the $2.21 from other sources represented only 6 percent of total cash income; in North Carolina, where assistance pay¬ ments averaged only $10.46, cash income from other sources represented 17 percent of- total cash income. In five other States, cash income other than assistance represented 10 percent or more of total cash income, and in Virginia it amounted to 23 percent (table 10) . The average total cash income and other financial data for recipient-only cases are not fully comparable for all States, because of differences in budgetary policy, as stated previously, in Cali¬ fornia, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, a separate budget was prepared for each eligible individual in a family. The combined requirements of tY;o individuals living together are usually less than those for two maintaining separate establish¬ ments, and result in a lower average assistance payment to recipients with such living arrangements than to recipients living alone. If ca.ses in which two recipients lived in one household had been elimi¬ nated before the averages were computed in the District of Columbia, Illinois, ilichigan, and Minnesota, the average amount of total cash income for the rest of the recipient-only cases in each of these States would have been somewhat higher. The same may be true for those cases in California for which need was determined on a budg¬ etary basis. Hov^ever, total income of a large proportion of the cases in this State was governed by the provision that assistance plus other income must amount to at least $50 for each eligible individual . In Oklahoma, at the time the study was made, a separate budget was usually prepared for each eligible individual in the family, and in Massachusetts and Vermont tnis practice was followed frequently. As a result, averages for recipient-only cases in these States also are somewhat understated. The range among the States in average total cash income of cases consisting of the recipient and spouse was similar to that for recipient-only cases (table 11). Of the 21 States, 16 included the requirements of both recipient and spouse in a single budget. The States with lowest average cash income had relatively large numbers of cases. This resulted in an average of $39.04 for the 16 States combined that v/as lower than tne averages of 10 of them.

The average for Massachusetts was more than 3 tiiaes that in the 3 States at the lower end of the scale and was substcntially higher than that in any other State. In Massachusetts, where funds for assistance are relatively adequate, the amount of assistance plus other income that each recipient is to receive is underwritten by minimums specified in the State law, and there are no raaximums on individual payments. Moreover, the inclusion in the budget of amounts to meet the cost 01 relatively large medical bills for some recipients in this State tended to raise the average amount of total income. , North Dakota, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia, wnich ranked high in average amount of total cash income, also had no maximuras on individual payments. In North Dakota and Rhode Island the cost of medical care frequently was met through the money payment. In the District of Columbia, an urban area, medical care was provided largely by other agencies, and as a result the cash income of recipients was for maintenance needs only. Although Kansas had no maximums on individual payments, the average income was only $27.36 for recipient-only cases and $41*96 for cases that included the recipient's spouse. All States that had a raaximuiii of $30 on individual payments fell in the lower half of the range when States were arrayed by the average amount of total cash income of recipient-only cases. The fact that a number of States with a $40 Hiaximura, and New Mexico with a $30 maximum, also fell in the lower half indicates that the maxi¬ mum on individual assistance payments was not the only factor affect¬ ing the amount of cash income. Here again the controlling factors seem to be the differences in standards of assistance, in the appli¬ cation of the standards, and in the availability of funds to meet need in full. Also influencing the variations but to a lesser ex¬ tent was the degree of urbanization of the States, which affects the cost of certain goods and services, particularly tiie cost of shelter. Sources of Total Cash Income Assistance payments constituted the major share — 38.3 percent — of the total cash income of old-age assistance cases in 20 of the 21 States. As has been said previously, about one-fourth of the re¬ cipients had cash income from earnings or other sources, but the average amount per case receiving assistance was relatively low. In¬ come from these sources, which amounted to only 11.3 percent of the total, included cash income of other members of the assistance case in States where budgeting frequently was done on a family basis. For cases consisting of only one person, assistance payments constituted about 93 percent of total income in contrast to 81 percent for cases that included a recipient and spouse (table 12). - 26 - !

Assistance other than old-age assistance represented an extremely small proportion of total cash income — 0.1 percent for recipient- only cases and 0.3 percent for cases that Included the recipient euid spouse. The total assistance reported does not represent all assistance going into households in vhich recipients of old-age assistance lived. If it was the agency’s practice to prepare separate budgets for needy blind persons, children, or other persons in the household, the amount of such assistance was not Included. The data are significant, therefore, only for the one-recipient cases. Payments from general asalsteuice funds to supplement old-alge assistance were made to a very small number of recipient- only cases in nine States. In a few Instances, supplemental assistance was provided by private agencies or organizations. - 27 - The proportion of cash income from each source other than assistance was higher for cases that included the recipient and spouse than for recipient-onl7 cases (table 12) . Income from earn¬ ings accounted for a considerable part of this difference. The relative importance of cash income other than assist¬ ance in States with comparatively low assistance payments suggests that some cash income may sometimes have been included when it was not regularly available. On the other hand, some cash income of recipients was not considered in determining their needs in certain States. Six States exempted from consideration certain income from agricultural employment, as authorized by Federal law. 10/ Since the number of recipients for whom such income was waived was small, and the amount of their earnings probably was not large, the pro¬ vision had a negligible effect on average income. Some States have adopted the policy of permitting a recipient with specified dependents to allocate certain amounts of income for their support. Income so allocated is not considered available to meet the recipient's own need. In three States, a substantial amount of the cash income of recipients was allocated to meet the needs of dependents not included in the assistance group.

Although in a number of additional States cash income of the recipient could be allocated to meet the needs of dependents, Massachusetts was the only other State represented in the study in which appreciable amounts were so allocated. 10/ Public Laws 43 and 67, 78th Congress, and Public Law 40, 79th Congress. - 28 - INCOME IN KIND The development of effective standards governing the treat¬ ment of resources in kind has been slow and in 1944 few States had such standards. Even in States that had developed State-wide policies the bases of evaluation may not have been uniformly under¬ stood by the workers in the local agency. If funds are meager, even very small amounts of income in kind are likely to be consid¬ ered in order that available funds may be spread as far as possible among all eligible persons. The agency in one State, in which a large proportion of the recipients were reported as having income in kind, comments that these data must be interpreted 7d.th caution because of a widespread tendency in that State to overvalue such income. According to the reports, more than one- third of the re¬ cipients in 20 States had income in kind. The proportion of cases with such income ranged from 9 percent in Massachusetts to 84 per¬ cent in North Carolina (table 13). In 3 States more than three- fourths, and in 4 States less than one-fourth, of the recipients were reported as having income in kind. Effect of Place of Residence and of Living Arrangements on Receipt of Income in Kind As might be expected, the relative number of cases with in¬ come in kind was higher in States in which a fairly large propor¬ tion of the recipients lived on farms. Five States in which more than one-fourth of the recipients lived on farms — ^North Carolina, Mississippi, Virginia, Tennessee, and Missouri — ranked high in the proportion of cases with either free shelter or other types of in¬ come in- kind or wi-th both. All these States except Missouri also ranked high in -the proportion of cases in which the recipient was living with relatives. In Missouri, almost half the cases had produce or other types of income in kind, but the number with free shelter was relatively small. In three addi-bional S-bates — New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Vermon-b — -bhe proportion of cases wi-bh income in kind exceeded 50 percent. In -bhese S-bates, from 18 -bo 23 percent of the recipients lived on farms. Living arrangements of recipients are directly related to the prevalence of income in kind. Table 13 shows that when the re¬ cipient was living with relatives, shelter was usually provided without charge. Shelter Provided by Relatives Almost 15 percent of all recipients were given shelter by relatives, but State proportions varied widely. The extremes are represented by California and Mississippi, wi-bh 5 and 44 percent, respectively, of -the recipients ha-vlng -bhis type of income. - 29 - Table I3. — Percent of cases with income in kind, by type of income and selected factors affecting receipt of such income, for 20 States in a month in 1944 State Percent of cases with specified type of income in kind Percent of cases livini^ Total Shelter Prod¬ uce On farms With sonsJ Percent l/ b tate rank Total Pro¬ vided by rela¬ tives Other provi¬ sion rai sed and con¬ sumed and other f . daug^< ters, or other relft- tivea Total 2/ . 38.4 — 26.0 14.8 11.1 21.S 15.5 21.7 North Carolina . 83.7 1 59.1 43.8 15.3 75.9 43.3 43.9, Mississippi . 83.0 2 60.0 44.4 15.6 66.2 54.2 4i.o!

It is evident that, where funds for assistance are very inadequate and assistance payments low, recipients have little choice as to living arrange¬ ments and relatives who share their homes with recipients frequently do so at considerable sacrifice. On the other hand, it is apparent that in several States an amount was included in the budget for shelter for many recipients who lived with relatives. Although almost one-fourth of the re¬ cipients in Massachusetts lived with relatives, only 6 percent of all recipients got shelter without cost. In this State, contribu¬ tions of responsible relatives are determined on the basis of a fixed scale that considers both income and living arrangements of the relatives. In California, where 17 percent of the recipients lived with relatives, shelter was given without cost in only 5 per¬ cent of all cases. In a number of other States, and particularly in the District of Colmbia, Illinois, West Virginia, and Missouri, it is evident that amounts were frequently included in budgets to meet the cost of shelter of recipients who lived with relatives. Other Shelter Provisions It may be assumed that most of tne cases with free shelter^ that was not provided by relatives, owned their own homes, although in some instances shelter was received in return for work performed, and occasionally persons other than relatives provided shelter with¬ out cost to recipients. The number of cases that were reported as having "other provisions” for shelter, however, may represent an understatement of the extent of home ownership. According to in¬ structions for the study, the value of free rent was to represent the difference between the amount the agency under its standards would allow for rent and the amount included in the assistance plan for upkeep, taxes, or installment payments on property. If these expenses equalled or exceeded the amount the agency would have included for rent, home ownership would not actually consti¬ tute income in kind. Inhere such costs were included in the budget, the proportion of cases with "other provision” for shelter was reduced substantially. In Massachusetts, for example, only 0.9 percent of the cases had "other provision” for shelter, though a special study made in 1941 showed that 21 percent of the - 31 - recipients in the State owned their own homes* 11/ The proportion of cases with shelter in kind not provided by relatives in 1944 ranged from 0.9 percent in Massachusetts to 40 percent in Oklahoma and 50 percent in New Mexico. In half the States, however, the proportions varied within a very narrow range — from 2.4 percent in Rhode Island to 5.7 in Kansas. The extremely high incidence of home ownership indicated by the data for Nev; Mexico and Oklahoma cannot be explained fully from the information available. In almost one-fourth of the cases in New Mexico, persons other than the recipient or spouse were included in the assistance group. With the inclusion of additional persons in a case, there is greater likelihood that shelter will be avail¬ able through home ownership. However, in Virginia and West Virginia, where requirements and resources of other persons were included in the budget in 20-25 percent of the assistance cases, the proportion of cases witli other provivsion for shelter was much less than in New Mexico. In Oklahoma, budgeting on a fajuily basis did not occur to the same extent as in New Mexico, Virginia, West Virginia, or several other States, and requirements and resources of other persons were included in the budgets of only 6 percent of the cases. However, the tentative conclusion that an unusually large number of recipients in Oklahoma owned their homes is supported by a re¬ port of the St^ite agency that shows that 3^ percent of the recipi¬ ents of the three special types of public assistance in selected counties in 1945 lived in homes that they owned. 12/ In California, where the agency collected information on home ownership in November 1944, 20 percent of the recipients owned their homes. Tlie relatively high level of assistence in this State probably accounts, in part, for the opportunity to maintain home ownership. 13/ 11/ Special report of the Coim.dssioner of Public Welfare concern¬ ing an investigation and study of the administration of the old-age assistance law, December 1942, p. 56. ^ 12/ Unpublished report of the Oklahoma State Department of Public Welfare. 13/ "Income and Living Arrangements of Old Age Security Recipients," Public Assistance in California.

Value of Income in Kind The value of income in kind can be computed for only the 7 States that included the money value of such income in the budget for all, or practically all, cases that had income in kind. Table 14 presents these data for recipient-only cases and for those that in¬ cluded the recipient and spouse. Since income in kind is unadaptable to more than one use, the freedom that individuals have for making a choice of purchases and for managing their own lives depends to a considerable extent on the amount of cash income available to them. In California and Massa¬ chusetts, income in kind represented a very small part of total in¬ come and recipients had substantial amounts of cash income. In North Cairolina, on the other hand, where average income was low. - 33 - Table 14 . — Average total income, including estimated value of income in kind, by type of case, in 7 States in a month in 1944 State Recipient-only cases , Recipient-and- -spouse cases Average total income Average total cash income Estimated aver¬ age value of income in kind Average total income Average total cash income Estiiriated aver¬ age value of income in kind Amount Percent of total Amount Percent of total Calif. $52.04 $50.59 $1.45 2.8 ... ...

Average cash income amounted to $12.60 per month, or about 40 cents per day per recipient. Since this figure is an average, some recipients had less than this amount. In Massachusetts and California, the average recipient in recipient- only cases had cash income of more than |1.50 per day. Although 14 States do not have definite information on the value of income in kind, some conclusions may be drawn from data that are available. In most of the States where both assistance payments and total incomes of recipients were low, a large propor¬ tion of the recipients had income in kind. Since the value of this income was frequently estimated to be $5 or more, it obviously repre¬ sented a substantial portion of total income. Tnere were notable exceptions, however. In West Virginia, for ex;unple, less than one- third of the cases had income in kind, and this income was valued at $5 or more in only one-sixth of all cases. Therefore, though the average income of old-age assistance cases in the State was low, it must have consisted largely of cash. Table 15 shows the proportion of cases having income in kind with an estimated value of less than $5, and of |5 or more, and provides a basis for estimating roughly the relative importance of cash and kind income to recipients in each State . - 34 - Table I5. --Percentage distribution of cases with income in kind and estimated value of such income, for 20 States in a month in 19^i4- State All cases No income in kind Income in kind All cases Estimated value Less than $5 $5 or more Total 1/ . 100.0 61.6 38.4 12.9 25.5 North Carolina . 100.0 16.3 83.7 13.2 • 70.5 Mississippi . 100.0 17.0 83.0 30.8 52.2 New Mexico . 100.0 23.0 77.0 26 .6 50.5 Virginia . 100.0 26. h 73.6 17.0 56 .6 Oklahoma . 100.0 3^.2 65.8 7.5 58.3 Tennessee . 100.0 i^l.7 58.3 31.2 27.2 Missouri . 100.0 1^7.0 53.0 22.9 30.1 Vermont . 100.0 1^8.0 52.0 7.2 44.7 North Dakota . 100.0 58.2 41.8 12.8 29.0 Kansas . 100.0 61.7 38.3 14.3 24.0 Maine . 100.0 62.7 37.3 5.7 31.6 Michigan . 100.0 68.2 31.8 8.1 23.7 West Virginia . 100.0 68.7 31.3 15.2 16.1 Minnesota . 100.0 70.0 30.0 11.2 18.8 California . 100.0 73.1 26.9 17.5 9.4 Rhode Island . 100.0 7^.3 25.7 4.S 21.4 New Hampshire . 100.0 75.1 24.9 6.8 18.0 Illinois . 100.0 80.0 20.0 5.3 14.7 District of Columbia. . . . 100.0 82.4 17.6 4.0 13.6 Massachusetts . 100.0 91.0 9.0 1.0 8.0 1/ Excludes Montana, for which comparable data are not available. - 35 - TOTAL INCOME INCLUDING THE VALUE OF INCOME IN KIND Total income available to recipients includes assistance pay¬ ments, cash income from earnings or other sources, and the value of income in kind. An exact money value was not placed on income in kind for each case with such income, but for etich such case States were able to estimate whether the value amounted to more or less than $5* In computing average income, cases with income in kind valued at $5 or more, but on which no exact money value had been placed by the agency, were excluded. Cases with income in kind valued at less than $5 were included. However, the average value of such income per assistance case was negligible since both the estimated value of the income and the proportion of cases with such income were small. The study supports the conclusion that differences in fiscal capacities of the States are the greatest single cause of differences in levels of assistance. Vdien total income of assistance cases is considered, the low averages generally occur in States with low per capita income. Table 16 shows the States ranked (l) by average in¬ come of cases consisting of recipient only and of recipient and spouse and (2) by per capita income in 1944* The average amoiants of total income in the States ranged from $52.04 to $15.58 for recipient-only cases end from $75.79 to $24.19 for cases that included the recipient and spouse (table I6) . In other words, on the average, assistance cases in the State with the highest per capita income had three times as much to live on as those in the State with the lowest per capita income. The six States with the lowest per capita incomes had the lowest average amounts of total income available to recipients. Factors contributing to the wide range among the States in average amounts of total income are the same as those discussed previously under differences in amounts of requirements, assistance payments, and total cash incomes. The added factor is the differ¬ ence in the value of income in kind. Because the amount of income in kind was relatively large in some States, the ranking of States by average income differs somewhat from the ranking ty amo\mt of cash income. For a number of reasons, the State variations in the average amount of total income of assistance cases cannot be considered as representing absolute differences in what recipients have to live on. The extent to which the cost of medical care is included in determining the amount of assistance payments affects the averages. As already indicated, there is great diversity in State methods of meeting the cost of medical care for recipients.

In other States, amounts included for medical care may | be small and intended to enable the recipient to pay for an occasional visit to the doctor or for drugs in case of chronic disability. The agency may meet the cost of additional medical care through payments . to vendors from general assistance or other funds, or free care may be provided in public hospitals. The cost of care met through these sources is not reflected in the total income of recipients. In ti^o ' of the States included in the study, practically all the income of recipients was available to meet maintenance needs. In West Virginia, the agency met the cost of medical care by payments to vendors from general assist^uice funds. In the District of Columbia, medical care was provided largely by public hospitals and other community agencies. Although the inclusion of amounts for medical care tends to raise the average payments and average incomes of cases, it does not necessarily result in high averages. For example, amounts ranging from $3 to |9 to meet medical bills were included in the budgets of more th^ two-fifths of the cases in one State. Yet assistance pay¬ ments were extremely low because the agency was unable to meet the budget deficits in full. ' Practices with respect to evaluation of cash income and of income in kind also significantly affect the average total income of cases. State agencies have placed increasing emphasis in policy materials on the fact that resources considered in determining need should be actually available to recipients and should be received with regularity. As has already been pointed out, however, it is evident that in 1944 policy or practice in evaluating income differed very substantially among the States. HI Average income for recipient-only cases in the States that prepare a separate budget for each recipient would have been some- what higher if data for cases in which two or more persons in a family received old-age assistance had been excluded before the averages were computed. Although the factors discussed above affect the ranking of States by average amount of total income of old-age assistance cases, it is evident that, even if State practices had been more nearly uniform, the States that rank high would still be in the top portion of the scale, though possibly in different order. Similarly, the j other States would change ranx only within a. limited area on the ,1 scale. The \ride range among the States in the amounts recipients had to live on would not be substantially less than is revealed by » the data presented here. Significant narrowing of the range could be achieved only by the adoption of more nearly uniform standards for requirements and policies for considering resources, coupled with sufficient funds to meet need ^ full. - 38 - Table 1?. — Percentage distribution of recipient- only cases by specified amount of total income, for 21 States in a month in 19^4 l/ Q <0 CVJ CM 1 CM CM rH 1 1 , 1 H VO 1 4- 1 b— 1 1 I o • • 1 • • • • 1 1 • 1 1 • • 1 • 1 • 1 1 iH O o o 1 CMl CMl 1 1 1 1 rH 1 1 1 a ON On OJ CM 1 1 CM VO CM 1 iH -4 1 1 1 rH 1 CM 1 iTN 1 1 1 ♦ • 1 1 • • ^****>N. • 1 ♦ • 1 • 1 « 1 • 1 1 • 1 1 1 1 O o 1 CM| CMl I 1 1 1 1 ON -- VO CO 1 iH CM ro CM 1 1 iH 1 CM 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • • 1 • • • • ♦ 1 1 • 1 • 1 • 1 1 1 • 1 1 1 O o iH 1 CM 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -ce- ON VO OJ CM CO rH iTN rH ON H 1 00 VO 1 O 1 IfN rH On 1 VO CM 1 • • • • • • • • • 1 • • 1 » • • « • • 1 o OJ iTN rH iH VO 1 iH 1 fH 1 rH 1 H i VD •ce- ON ITN CO IfN ir\ CO CM 00 CO -:d- -=f O VO CM CM <3N VO CM 1 1 IfN CM 1 1 1 CO lOv CM lO CM H CM CM rH CO rH CO CM VO CM iTN OJ (ON CM -ce- CJN o 1 o CM Q\ ITN CO rH ITN CO ITN COCO rH ITNVO -4 -4 00 rH VO CM 1 o ir\ 1 f c>>oo • • ® • • 00 • 03 •H • ^ • • • • •H 43 ro • o o H O P ■P O ■a : 9 • iH ® • « • • • a5 (3 •H bO •P m • • *rH *rH • 03 ft -H 03 00 ® P o •H • • 43 3 o 00 h O p 'a M ro ■P -H •H Q o (h •H § 00 • (d ® o bO (0 03 -H ® ro 3 •H O § 3 w 43 43 o ro ® §s > EH •H ■P CO •H 00 cl fl •H CO 43 S to u n ro ro ro m a > > -P +3 05 'Ci H O § g ffa Oi o •H ffj ff} (d "H *H •H “H o ® ■p -p Pi Pi 0 '0 r-j O § g bO -P Pi 0 W 0 •H •H O 0 0 O O ^ Xi (1) 0 •H 0 s S S 2 s & s S #2; O ft Eh > > HIOJI Excludes cases for which total income was not known. Excludes 5 States that made separate budgets for each eligible individual A distribution of cases by amount of total income tiiro?/s additional light on variations among the States in total income available to old-age assistance cases. In addition, it reflects the variations in the total income of recipients within each State. The distribution for recipient-only cases by amoimt of total income is shown in table 17, and for cases that included the recipient and spouse, in table 18. Because the California law provided a minimum below which total income may not fall and sufficient funds were made available to carry out the intent of the law, each recipient had at least $50. Recipients vd.th more than |50 income are those with income from earn¬ ings or other sources whose requirements, determined on a budgetary basis, exceeded $50. Massachusetts, which has a minimura for assist¬ ance plus other income, shows a wider distribution of cases by amount of income, because the minimum varies according to the recipient’s living arrangements. Three-fourths of the recipient-only cases in Massachusetts had incomes of $40 or more. Those falling below that amount were recipient-only cases living in family groups, or husband and wife living together for each of whom income was determined separately. In Rhode Island, one-half of the recipients had total incomes of $40 or more. In contrast with these States, two States reported that four-fifths of the recipients in recipient-only cases had total incomes of less than $20; in Mississippi, approximately two- thirds of the recipients had less than this amount. In two additional States, more than two-fifths of the recipients had less than $20. In the remaining States the majority of the recipients had from $20 to $40. - 41 - V. APPENDIX SAMPLES ON THE DATA ARE BASED Data for 20 of the 21 States were recorded for a sample of recipients selected by random sampling methods. In introducing plans for the study, the Bureau of Public Assistance recommended to State agencies that the sample include at least 1,000 recipients. A larger sample, not to exceed 5,000, was suggested lor States with relatively large case loads. The proportion of the recipients in¬ cluded in the sample, the actual size of the sample in each State, and the month to which the data relate are shown in table 19. Because of budgetary practices in some States, it was nec¬ essary to adjust the sample of "recipients" to obtain a sample of assistance "cases." For purposes of the study, an assistance group or "case" was defined to include those individuals whose personal requirements and resources were included in the budget. Cases were classified as recipient-only, recipient and spouse, and recipient and others, with or without spouse. In recipient-only cases, the requirements of one recipient were included in the budget, and the old-age assistance payment was intended to meet the needs of this recipient only. For recip- ient-and- spouse cases, tlie requirements of botli husband and wife were included in the budget. The spouse may have been eligible for assistance or may have been included as essential to the well¬ being of the recipient. Similarly, the cases that included the recipient and others, with or without spouse, might include one or more other persons eligible for old-age assistance. Whether separate payments were made to individuals in cases that included two or more persons depended on two factors — the eligibility of each individual in the case and agency practice. If only one individual was eligible for old-age assistance, one pay¬ ment was made to the case. If the case included two or more eligible individuals, the number of old-age assistance payments made to the case depended on the practice in the particular State. In some States the usual practice was to make a separate payment to each eligible individual. In a number of States, however, the needs of two or more eligible individuals were usually met through one assistance payment. Since the original sample w^as based on recipients, "cases" that included two or more recipients had more chance of being drawn in the sajaple than cases that included only one recipient.

M w CO Foreword This statement on the application process in public assistance ad¬ ministration was developed in the Bureau of Public Assistance to meet the need for a policy statement in an area not adequately covered by previous Bureau materials or fully discussed in professional literature. The standards are based on the Bureau’s knowledge of State public assistance agency operations secured from State reports and continuous negotiations with State agency staffs. The Bureau acknowledges the contribution made to this statement by State agencies through use of their material and through comments made by State agency staffs on the draft statement. The Bureau's requirements for the operation of State plans under the Social Security Act as they relate to determination of initial eligi¬ bility and the application process are set forth here as minimum stand¬ ards. Each standard is interpreted and commented on, and recom¬ mendations are made concerning effective methods of establishing the standards in agency practice. F rom the standpoint of the client and of the agency, the application process in any program, public or private, family or child welfare, constitutes one of the most important areas of agency activity. These standards are offered for consideration by staff members of public and private agencies and by faculty and students of schools of social work in the hope that they mfiy con¬ tribute toward delineation and clarification of the principles involved in receiving and acting on applications in all fields of social case work. A significant contribution to professional practice can be made, par¬ ticularly by public welfare staffs, if their experiences in the prepara¬ tion of standards in relation to these proposals, and their discoveries in the use of such standards, are written down and made available for study and discussion. Jane M. Hoey, Director^ Bureau of Public Assistance. May 1, 1948 (ii) THE APPLICATION PROCESS IN PUBLIC ASSISTANCE ADMINISTRATION The application process in public assistance administration is an important focus of agency operation because it is the means by which an individual asserts his claim to assistance. The application process encompasses all activity related to an application, from an individual’s first indication to the agency that he wishes to receive assistance or to have his eligibility considered to the receipt of payment or other dis¬ position of his application. The purpose of the application process, therefore, is to receive applications, to assist applicants in exploring eligibility for assistance, to determine initial eligibility or ineligibility, and to assure the issuance of initial payments to eligible persons. Democratic principles of equity require that eligibility for benefits in publicly supported programs be defined by law. State laws, there¬ fore, specify the eligibility requirements in effect in the public as¬ sistance programs. This specification removes from the discretion of the administration the right to exclude persons who come within the scope of the program. All persons meeting the eligibility qualifi¬ cations are equal before the law and have a right to receive assistance under a uniform application of the law. The right of eligible persons to receive assistance is also inherent in the requirements of the Social Security Act for the development and operation of State public as¬ sistance plans. Methods of administration necessary for proper and efficient operation of State plans under the Social Security Act ^ are interpreted to include standards and procedures that protect this right for each individual by making the opportunity to apply for assistance freely available and by granting assistance promptly to each eligible individual. Also, under the Social Security Act, State agencies are responsible for establishing methods of administration that provide for a determination of eligibility or ineligibility on an equitable basis for each applicant and recipient. The State plan, as required under the Social Security Act,^ is con¬ sidered to be a means of achieving efficient administration of the public 1 Social Security Act as amended, title I, sec. 2 (a) (5), title IV, sec. 402 (a) (5), and title X, sec. 1002 (a) (5). ’ Ibid title I, sec. 1, title IV, sec. 401, and title X, sec. 1001. (1) 2 assistance programs. Therefore, ceilain minimum requirements forS State plans® have been established as essential to attaining efficiency | in determining eligibility and in carrying out the application process.)! In these activities the administration of public assistance agencies is| appraised not only by the provisions of the State plan but also by |j agency practice in carrying out the provisions. The five criteria that follow offer a means of evaluating the applica¬ tion process as it is carried on in public assistance agencies : , 1. All persons desiring to receive assistance have an opportunity to apply to the agency administering assistance. 2. All applications for assistance are given prompt and efficient consideration and action by the agency administering assist¬ ance. 3. Eligibility or ineligibility to receive assistance is determined for each individual application. 4. All applicants determined to be eligible receive an assistance payment. 5. All activity of the agency in receiving and acting upon appli¬ cations is carried on in a manner that enables each individual to maintain his personal dignity and integrity. Carrying out the application process in accordance with these criteria depends largely on the establishment of State-v;ide policies and procedures that clearly define the methods of handling applica¬ tions and the job of each individual staff member in the total process — policies that make it possible for each agency worker to act on indi¬ vidual applications promptly and with confidence. Supervision is important in the entire process to assure the agency that staff members understand the principles on which policies are based, have knowledge of agency policies and procedures, and apply the policies appropri¬ ately in individual situations with confidence and dispatch. In using this document as a guide in working with applicants, agency workers are reminded that these standards and recommenda¬ tions do not supersede any State agency’s instructions to its staff. To the extent that social workers can apply these principles within the framework of agency standards and procedures, the proposals have validity for staff use. In instances in which agency standards and procedures may not have been as fully developed as recommended here, staff can apply these principles only within agency limitations. I If ® The requirements for State plans under the Social Security Act are issued to State agencies administering public assistance under the act by the Bureau of Public Assistance, Social Security Administration, Federal Security Agency, in the Handbook of Public Assist¬ ance Administration. This handbook is not available for general distribution. 3 Definitions For clarity, certain words used repeatedly throughout this paper are defined as follows : An applicant is a person who has expressed to the agency adminis¬ tering public assistance a desire to receive assistance and whose appli¬ cation has not been terminated. For aid to dependent children, the relative with whom a child will live is the applicant in the child’s behalf.’ An application is an action by which an individual indicates his desire to receive assistance to the agency administering public assis¬ tance. Applications, which are construed to include reapplications, continue in effect until terminated. An individual may present his application through another person authorized to act in his behalf. Termination of an application is effected by one of the following actions : 1. Written notification to the applicant that a payment in a stated amount has been authorized. 2. Written notification to the applicant that his application is denied, including the reason for the denial. 3. Notation in the individual or family record that the appli¬ cation has been disposed of because of death or inability to locate the applicant, or because the applicant has decided he does not want to pursue his application further. Understanding the Application Process Before an agency can develop satisfactory standards and procedures relating to the application process and before agency staff can carry them out in a manner that meets the criteria for evaluating agency action, each member of the staff should understand fully the purpose of the process, its essential elements or basic steps, and its meaning to both the applicant and the agency. The analysis of the applica¬ tion process presented here will, it is believed, help agencies to develop standards and procedures that provide for a better quality of service to applicants and for more efficient administration of the programs. The mere fact of analysis tends to make the application process ap¬ pear somewhat formidable and routine; in reality, however, it cannot be routine in nature nor is it usually complicated. On the contrary, the methods of handling applications need to be adustable to the varying circumstances of each individual applicant. The application process usually consists of three more or less clearly defined steps. 4 1. During the first step the applicant with the help of the worker tells the agency why he is applying and relates his circumstances in sufficient detail to substantiate his request for assistance. In the course of this discussion the worker informs the applicant about the assistance programs for which he may be eligible and the conditions of eligibility that must be established. The applicant needs to know what infor¬ mation is necessary to establish his eligibility and also the extent to which he is expected to participate in establishing his eligibility. He must, furthermore, know what help the agency is prepared to give him in establishing it. When, in addition, he has gained an understanding of the agency’s responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the law in accordance with its established standards and procedures he then is in a position both to assume his responsibilities and to protect ' his rights, particularly with respect to fair hearings and the jirotec- ■ tion of confidential data furnished or otherwise made available to the agency. On the basis of the information received or already known to the ' applicant, he decides whether or not he wishes to pursue his applica¬ tion further. If so, it is the agency’s responsibility to inform the appli¬ cant that he may be eligible for assistance under more than one pro¬ gram, and thereby enable him to decide for which type of assistance he •' wishes to apply. The applicant may need, depending on his previous i experience and knowledge of the programs and his intelligence and * emotional condition, varying amounts of help from the agency in i relating to his own particular circumstances what he knows or learns i about the agency and the programs. The decision to continue the ' application or to terminate it is the applicant’s and his alone. This ; fact does not, however, relieve the agency of responsibility for giving every applicant whatever help he may need and wish to use in arriving at a decision. The degree to which the first step can be distinguished from the next : depends on the applicant’s accurate knowledge of the agency and the ' assistance programs, his ability to relate this knowledge to his own • circumstances, and the agency’s procedure for receiving and recording r api)lications. If the agency requires a written application, there is no j difficulty in determining when the first step in the application process , ends. It ends when the applicant decides to formalize his application ^ in writing. I The time needed to complete the first step depends largely on the 1 applicant, even though it is considered advisable for the agency to set a i reasonable time limit. For example, a person who has previously | applied for or received assistance may know enough about the pro- | grams to decide immediately to carry his application through to a final decision by the agency. In such cases, the first step takes only a few moments. Another applicant, after talking with the worker, may i o wisli to think the matter over and discuss it with his family before proceeding further. The agency should give him that opportunity, with the understanding that applications cannot pend indefinitely and that he should notify the agency of his decision at a date agreed upon. 2. The second step begins when the applicant decides to continue the process of establishing his eligibility. During this step, the ex¬ ploration of eligibility is completed, and the agency reaches a decision to authorize assistance or to deny the application, subject, of course, to the applicant’s right to terminate his application at any point. The consideration of initial eligibility continues without delay in accord¬ ance with a plan worked out jointly by the applicant and the worker. The second step is terminated by one of three actions— ^authorization of the amount of assistance, denial of assistance, or the applicant’s decision not to pursue his application further. 3. The third step in the process concerns only approved applica¬ tions, since it begins with the authorization of assistance. This step does not involve direct contact with the applicant but, rather, includes the administrative procedures involved in getting the payment into the hands of the new recipient. In general, public welfare agencies have not fully recognized that the degree of efficiency with which this step is carried out affects the quality of service to applicants quite as much as does the case worker's sensitivity in interviewing applicants. The removal of barriers to prompt action in issuing payments, whether they result from organizational structure or administrative or fiscal procedures, should receive the immediate attention of each State agency. Interviewing Applicants The first and second steps are carried out by one or more interviews with the applicant and by whatever other means may be necessary to supplement the information the applicant can furnish to establish his eligibility. Each individual interview follows its own pattern and no two inter¬ views, even between the same two persons, can be identical. Since an interview is a joint undertaking, it develops in accordance with the needs of the moment and not according to a set plan. Application interviews are planning sessions. While the applicant is being en¬ couraged and assisted to tell his story and while the worker is bringing IQ in, at appropriate points, the information that the applicant needs to know, both are initiating the exploration of eligibility and are reach¬ ing an agreement on future plans and the activity of each. The number of interviews needed to determine eligibility depends _ on the individual situation. In general, if procedural requirements ^ for determining eligibility are simplified, skilled interviewers should 6 be able in a larg:e number of instances to establish eligibility or in¬ eligibility in one interview. The purpose of the interview, the applicant’s specific situation, and agency facilities influence the choice of setting for the interview. In some instances an office interview may be more satisfactory than a home visit. The office setting is free from the distractions that exist in some homes and may be especially appropriate for persons who live in boarding homes or institutions. If, for some reason, the agency is unable to interview applicants when they first come to the office, the agency should arrange an appointment with the least possible delay. In the course of the application process, the worker should tell the applicant about the agency and the progi’ams and about his rights and responsibilities under the State plan. Some of this information is provided during the first step and some during the second. Many agencies give the applicants a descriptive pamphlet^ that includes much of the necessary information. A pamphlet is a helpful tool, but its use does not relieve the agency of the responsibility for oral inter¬ pretation of the programs during the course of interviews if applicants do not fully understand the agency’s functions and operation. An agency should make sure that, at appropriate points in the appli¬ cation process and as needed, each applicant is informed concerning : 1. The programs administered by the agency, including : a. Conditions of eligibility, and b. Factual information required to establish eligibility, and to determine the amount of payment. 2. How the agency operates, including : a. The participation of the agency in exploring eligibility, b. The agency’s responsibility for making the decision regard¬ ing eligibility or ineligibility, c. The method of determining the amount of payment, and d. When the applicant can expect a decision and how he will be notified. 3. Provisions safeguarding an applicant’s right, including : a. F air hearing, b. Confidentiality of information, and c. The money payment. 4. A client’s responsibilities, including: a. The extent of the applicant’s participation in presenting facts to establish his eligibility, b. A recipient’s obligation to keep the agency informed of changes in his circumstances that affect continuing eligibil¬ ity or amount of payment. See Public Information, p. 8. 7 5. Other services and assistance available within the agency or from other sources to supplement or complement the assist¬ ance for which he has applied. In providing the foregoing information the worker’s concern is with the validity and extent of the applicant’s knowledge about agency and program, especially with the additional information he needs to under¬ stand fully the meaning of the application process to him personally. If the worker has this concern he will correct misunderstandings about the programs and will give the additional information the applicant needs. Even more important, the worker will give this information in simple terms and, to the best of his ability, at a logical and appro¬ priate point so that the applicant can relate the explanation to his own circumstances. The Opportunity to Apply The following minimum standards are essential to making the op¬ portunity to apply for assistance freely available to all persons : No person is refused the opportunity to apply for assistance. Oh- stacles to making application.^ such as requiring the presentation of preapplication proofs of eligibility or of information that indicates conclusively or presumptively the eligibility of the applicant as a condition to accepting the application.^ are inconsistent with this pro¬ vision. As one way of safeguarding the opportunity to apply ^ agen¬ cies define and differentiate between applications and inquiries. Safeguarding the Opportunity to Apply Safeguarding the opportunity to apply for assistance depends on providing maximum assurance that no inquiry or application is ig¬ nored. It is necessary, therefore, that an agency’s instructions to staff distinguish clearly between inquiries and applications and em¬ phasize the importance of any appropriate follow-up, both on appli¬ cations and on inquiries that appear to be potential applications. It is recommended that, in defining and differentiating between inquiries and applications, agencies use some such definition of an inquiry as the following: An inquiry is a request for information unrelated to a request for assistance or, if related in general, not identifiable as such because the person inquiring does not go on to say specifically how the information requested applies to a specific individual’s need for assist¬ ance. An inquiry cannot be distinguished from an application merely by the method of requesting the information because both inquiries and applications may be received in identical ways. An inquiry is "■distinguished from an application by the intent of the person making the request to receive information rather than to receive assistance. Inquiries and applications sometimes come to the agency in the form 791809*- 8 of referrals. A referral is a request for information, service, or assistance in behalf of an individual, made by an agency, an institu¬ tion, or another person. A referral received by an agency is classed as an inquiry unless or until the person making the referral states that he is acting for an applicant with the applicant's knowledge and consent. An important element in safeguarding the opportunity to apply is emphasizing to staff that an application has been made when the indi¬ vidual expresses to the agency either his desire to receive assistance or an interest in having his eligibility considered. Applications may be made orally or in writing, in person, or through another individual. Although both inquiries and applications are most frequently made at the agency’s office, they may also occur in a person’s home or in the home of a friend, on the street, over the telephone, .through the mail, or in other ways. As a further measure in safeguarding the opportunity to apply, it is recommended that, as soon as an applicant decides that he wishes an official determination of his eligibility or ineligibility, the application be formalized in writing on an application form. It is further recom¬ mended that the application form be as simple in content as possible and include a statement that the applicant wishes to receive a specific kind of assistance, believes he is eligible, and is willing to give the information that will help establish eligibility. When an application form or other statement in writing is used, it is usually signed by the applicant or by his guardian if the applicant is legally incompetent. It is recommended that notarization of signatures not be required. Each blind applicant or other person unable to read will need to have the application read to him, both to ensure that his statement is correctly recorded and that it represents the applicant’s wishes. Other data needed by the agency to begin the process of determining eligibility and the amount of the payment is best recorded on a separate form, such as a face sheet, that permits revision as conditions change or additional facts become available ; or this information maj^ simply be included in the narrative. It should not cumber the application form. Public Information, Office Facilities, and Staffing Agencies may need to review their public relations programs to determine how best they can inform the community at large, and potential applicants in particular, about the assistance and services available through the public assistance agency. A method that is par¬ ticularly useful and pertinent to the application process is the distribu¬ tion of simply worded informational pamphlets to all applicants or persons visiting agency offices, and to other individuals, agencies, and institutions interested in and seeking specific information about the programs. Such pamphlets should describe the agency and its pro- 9 grams and tell how to apply, the conditions of eligibility, the methods of establishing eligibility, the rights and responsibilities of the applicant and recipient under the law, and the provisions of the law that safeguard their rights. Another factor in making the opportunity to apply available to all individuals relates to the facilities for interviewing applicants. A public assistance agency is responsible fcr providing office space that is readily accessible in the community and affords the applicant privacy and, so far as possible, freedom from inhibiting distractions and discomforts during interviews. The needs of the community may require itinerant interviewing points within a local administrative unit to supplement the facilities of the local office. Local agencies should schedule frequent and regular periods during which the office and interviewing points are open for interviewing, post the schedule conspicuously in public places, identify the office by outside signs bearing the exact name of the agency, and through other appropriate means inform the community served of the agency’s location and office , hours. An equally important element is the competence and adequacy of staff. It is recommended that applicants be interviewed by experi¬ enced and qualified members of the social work staff and, so far as ^ possible, by the most skilled workers available. To assure that re¬ ceptionists in clerical positions are not assigned duties that should be assumed by members of the social work staff, the agency needs to de¬ fine and clarify the function of a receptionist as it relates to the ap- ■ plication process. If assistance is to be made available effectively, it I is necessary to have sufficient staff to allow adequate and unhurried initial interviews with applicants and to complete the exploration of § eligibility promptly. 1. Promptness and Efficiency in the Application Process iThe following minimum standards are essential to prompt and efficient consideration and action on applications : Agerwy policies and procedures p^'ovide for prompt and efficient carrying out of the application process. Agencies establish standards for evaluating and methods of controlling the length of time expended during the application pi'ocess. Included are methods by which the agency is kept regularly infoimied concerning the points in the ap¬ plication process at which delays are occurring and the reasons for delays. , Expediting the Application Process Public assistance programs under the Social Security Act are in- ; tended to meet the needs of eligible applicants when that need occurs and the agency is informed of it, without applicants’ having to rely on other types of interim assistance from public or private social agencies. To achieve this purpose, the application process must be continuous and uninterrupted, without gaps in action either within or between the various steps. Agencies have a responsibility for eliminating con¬ ditions that hamper prompt action and for setting up procedures that make prompt staff action possible. Studying and planning how to eliminate delay may indicate the need for legislative amendments ; the overhauling of cumbersome organizational, administrative, and fiscal policies and procedures ; and the simplification of procedures for con¬ sidering and determining eligibility. Special attention will need to be directed toward such factors as the responsibility of the board in the organizational structure ; decentralization of decisions relating to eligibility and amount of assistance; fiscal procedures for preparing authorization of payment and recipient pay rolls ; issuance of checks ■ or warrants to recipients ; and the exploration of eligibility. Prompt action on applications will come about more rapidly if each member of the staff whose work relates to any part of the process feels a definite responsibility for completing his part in the quickest time compatible with accepted standards of service to applicants. At the same time, he must know the standard of promptness that the agency expects of him. In setting such a standard, the agency must study the various aspects of the application process to determine what the delaying factors are and how they can be eliminated or re¬ duced, and to determine what the agency can reasonably expect of staff members. There appear to be four areas of activity in which delays are occurring. These are: (1) before assignment to a visitor for exploration of eligibility; (2) during the field exploration; (3) after the field work is completed but before the foitmal action which completes determination of eligibility is taken; and (4) after the determination of eligibility is made and during the preparation of authorization and issuance of checks or warrants. Study of the application process will enable agencies to determine what standard of promptness can reasonably be expected for the en¬ tire process and for its component parts. As factors causing delay are eliminated, the standard of promptness for each aspect and for the whole process can be reduced in length. Any standard established by the agency should be realistic in the light of conditions that cannot immediately be changed or remedied, but it also should be subject to revision as delaying factors are removed. A standard of prompt¬ ness should be related to the time needed to act on an average applica¬ tion. It will not represent the quickest nor the slowest time but will be reasonable for the majority of applications. When agencies emphasize the necessity for prompt action on appli- 11 cations and implement this by simplifying procedures for determining eligibility and making payments to eligible persons, it is reasonable to expect that the standard of promptness will gradually improve until only exceptional applications remain pending longer than a week. Controls A standard of promptness for all or parts of the application process has been found to be ineffective if it is relied on as the only method of speeding up the process. Consequently it is necessary to establish controls by which the agency is kept regularly informed concerning the points at which delays are occurring. In developing methods of controlling the time required to terminate applications, it is suggested that agencies consider as one method the establishment of a monthly reporting system, which will show the number of applications pending beyond the standard period and will indicate just where and why the delay has occurred for each application. By such a report the agency will discover weaknesses in administration toward which special attention should be directed both in supervision and in re¬ vision of procedures. Supervisors can use such a report to help staff' members recognize the causes of delays in their own activity and develop a plan of work that will result in more efficient and effective service to applicants. Various types of supervisory or administrative case reviews may be used. These reviews vary considerably in their effectiveness, de¬ pending on staff time available and the adequacy of over-all planning. To be of maximum value for the application process the reviews must provide for reading both approved and denied applications. Another method of getting information about action on applications is analysis of the causes of grievances, including both those handled by grievance procedures only and those that result in requests for a hearing. Isolation and study of grievances that result in delays may be used to locate inefficient procedures, to provide a basis for revision of policy and procedure, and to improve staff performance. Determination of Initial Eligibility The following minimum standards are essential to a sound deter¬ mination of initial eligibility : Agency 'policy provides for a determination of initial eligibility or ineligibility 'with respect to eojch application^ subject to an applicants right to decide not to pursue his application further. To implement this provision the agency: 1. identifies the conditions of eligibility., 2. provides that the application process shall include at least one interview with the applicant., and 12 3. indicates the kinds and sources of factual information that are acceptable as a basis for establishing eligibility and that meet the minimum essentials described in the following para¬ graph. A determination of eligibility is a decision by the agency on the basis of factual information that eligibility to receive assistance exists. The kinds of factual information that are acceptable as a basis for a decision concerning eligibility are oral statements., written material., and the observations of the icorker. Acceptable sources of factued information relating to eligibility include the applicant, members of his family, the agency worker, and other qualified persons. Informa¬ tion presented by the applicant concerning a condition of eligibility, if it is pertinent, consistent, and complete, is a satisfactory basis for the agency decision insofar as that condition is concerned. Exploring Eligibility In order to secure Federal financial participation in assistance pay¬ ments made under the Social Security Act, eligibility must be estab¬ lished individually for each recipient. The decision of the agency concerning eligibility or ineligibility is based on the facts and sound decisions cannot be achieved uniformly unless the agency identifies the eligibility conditions and indicates the kinds and sources of factual information that are acceptable to support a claim to assistance. The agency must also clarify for the worker and the applicant the re¬ sponsibility of each for obtaining factual information to support the applicant’s claim to eligibility and set forth the criteria for judging the adequacy of the facts obtained. Economy of operation and prompt action as well as other consider¬ ations of sound practice require the use of the best informed and most accessible sources of information. Among these the applicant may ordinarily be expected to rank first and, therefore, he should be utilized as the first and usually the principal source of facts. When the factual material the applicant presents meets the agency’s criteria of adequacy and is therefore judged to be pertinent, consistent, and complete with regard to all conditions of eligibility, it will not be necessary to consult additional sources. In most instances full utilization of the applicant’s i data will reduce the amount of exploration of other sources that the agency will need to undertake. The agency thus eliminates mineces- sary work and unproductive investigations of eligibility that often i delay the granting of assistance to eligible applicants and reviews of continuing eligibility. Prompt action on applications will thus be ; possible with no sacrifice of essential legal or administrative responsi¬ bility and without loss of Federal participation in initial payments. The use of the applicant as the primary source of information in determining eligibility means that the applicant and the worker are ' 13 jointly responsible for the facts and that, in many instances, the agency can determine eligibility or ineligibility on the basis of facts supplied by the applicant. Moreover, the agency criteria for determining when the facts presented are pertinent, consistent, and complete may properly include acceptance of facts presented orally by the applicant concerning his current circumstances or his personal and family his¬ tory that, when related to other known facts and combined with the observations of the worker, substantiate the applicant’s assertions con¬ cerning specific conditions of eligibility. In other words, the worker tells the applicant what conditions of eligibility he must meet and the factual information necessary to establish each condition. The ap¬ plicant and the worker review and discuss such information as the applicant has at hand, and determine for what conditions of eligibility information does not meet the agency’s criteria of adequacy or is not in the applicant’s possession. They then agree as to what additional information must be obtained from readily available sources and who will obtain it — the applicant or the worker at the applicant’s request. If an applicant is unprepared, physically or otherwise, to give in¬ formation to support his eligibility, kinds and sources of information may be selected from the agency’s suggested listing of acceptable sources of factual information, using those that can readily be obtained, and, whenever possible, those preferred by the applicant. The worker takes no step in the exploration of eligibility to which the applicant does not agree. If, however, as is true in some cases, the information that an applicant is prepared to present is incomplete, inconsistent, or indeterminate, the agency should tell him that addi¬ tional information is required. Usually, in such instances, the appli¬ cant and the worker can reach an agreement as to the sources to be used. Occasionally, however, the issue may be such that the applicant must decide whether to permit the agency to seek essential information, to drop his application, or to face having his application denied. In indicating the factual information that is acceptable, agencies will wish to include kinds that are frequently in the possession of applicants or readily obtainable and sources that have been discovered or previously used by the agency. A listing of acceptable kinds and sources of information will have greatest value if it serves the dual purpose of suggesting a variety of sources to the staff and at the same time stimulating their resourcefulness in using similar but less com¬ monly found sources when necessary. Furthermore, it is recommended that in preparing standards and procedures for determining eligibility, agencies avoid any of the fol¬ lowing actions : perfunctory visits to the home, to relatives or to refer¬ ences ; routine checking of public records ; routine form letters or cor¬ respondence with employers, relatives, insurance companies, banks ; listing, as preferred evidence, legal, official, or formal documents and 14 affidavits to be secured, wbether or not other acceptable factual in¬ formation is at hand or more readily available ; requiring the appli¬ cant to sign a statement giving the agency blanket permission to in¬ vestigate any or all of his affairs that bear on his eligibility ; and plac¬ ing more responsibility on the applicant than he is physically or mentally able to assume in establishing eligibility. The Decision The agency is responsible for coming to a definite decision concern¬ ing eligibility or ineligibility by either authorizing or denying assist¬ ance. To assure just and equitable determinations of eligibility, the agency’s decisions should be based on clearly defined policy. Estab¬ lishment of definite policies and procedures for exploring and deter¬ mining eligibility makes it possible to place upon the worker the re¬ sponsibility for reaching a decision on behalf of the agency. Giving this responsibility to the worker does not imply the removal of super¬ visory consultation and review. On the contrary, it places greater responsibility on the agency to give each worker the amount and kind of supervision that will help him develop the skills necessary to make valid decisions. Furthermore, it demands the development of super¬ visory processes that will keep the agency informed about the judgment and skill of each worker and that will aid in improving his .work. Capable and regular supervisory consultation and review, in general, provide the agency with satisfactory assurance that the facts of eligibility have been adequately explored, that agency policy has been suitably applied, and that a sound determination of eligibility has been made. The imposition of routine administrative decisions by means of case review units, boards, and other administrative devices cannot be justified. Too frequently, the substitution of such decisions for those of a worker and his supervisor prevents full consideration of all the facts and results in capricious actions rather than actions based on policy. Each added step in the agency determination of eligibility also lengthens the time required to act on applications. An agency should expect its workers to refrain from influencing 19 applicants who are known or believed to be ineligible to withdraw their applications. A decision to withdraw an application can be valid only when it is, in fact, the applicant’s decision. Because the use of signed withdrawals has been abused, and dissatisfied applicants who sign withdrawals thereby often lose their opportunity for a hearing, the discontinuance of this practice is recommended. It is suggested that agencies substitute the practice of giving the applicant a statement confirming the agency’s understanding of his decision not to pursue his application further. In most cases, applicants welcome a written confirmation that verifies the conditions under which the application was terminated and establishes a basis upon which to present possible 15 grievances. Written confirmation of the applicant’s decision need not be a cumbersome or time-consuming process. It may be accomplished by a simple form filled in by the worker at the time of an interview and given to the applicant then, or completed after the interview and mailed to him. The agency’s confirmation of an applicant’s decision not to pursue his application is most useful if it contains the agency’s under¬ standing of the basis on which the decision was made. Payments to Eligible Applicants The following standard assures the initiation of assistance to appli¬ cants determined to be eligible : Assistance is paid to each eligible applicant and assistance is not (withheld from an eligible person so long as any payments whatever are being made under the specific category. Under the Social Security Act, agencies may not establish policies or procedures that result in failure to receive applications, to explore eligibility, to determine eligibility or ineligibility, or to make pay¬ ments to persons determined to be eligible ; nor may they develop plans that result in undue delay in carrying out all or any part of the appli¬ cation process. This provision is particularly important for agencies that have chosen to deny or delay the granting of assistance to appli¬ cants because of insufficient funds. When funds are insufficient to make full payments in accordance with determined need, agencies are expected to devise a method of adjusting payments in such a way that all eligible persons will receive assistance. This provision is estab¬ lished with full recognition of the fact that inadequate payments to recipients frustrate the purpose of assistance programs as does the withholding of assistance from eligible persons. The imposition of formulas to limit the amounts of assistance payments is often neces¬ sary, but agencies need to study the effect of various methods of limit¬ ing payments, particularly the effect of maximum payments, in order to establish the most equitable way of administering inadequate funds. Wliile concerning itself with making the necessary adjustments to in¬ sufficient funds the agency can at the same time renew its efforts to secure appropriations adequate to meet the established need of all eligible individuals. Procedures Safeguarding an Applicant’s Rights In addition to the standards set forth above, it is important that agencies establish the following procedures essential to making the basic provisions more effective: 1. Establish a basis for review of action on applications by providing for the mainteTiance of identifiable records co'nceming all applications. 16 2. Provide applicants with a basis for taking appropriate steps to express dissatisfaction with agency action or failure to act by: a. Establishing procedures for notifying applicants in writ¬ ing that assistance has been authorized in a stated amount or that it has been denied^ giving the reason for the denial, b. Establishing methods of notifying each applicant in writing of his right to a fair hearing ar\d the method by which he can obtain a hearing. In stating that there shall be an identifiable record with respect to each applicant for assistance, no specification is made as to its form. An identifiable record is one that can be located by number, alphabeti¬ cal listing, or some other systematic device. So long as a method of identification is provided, the recorded facts may be shown in any form the agency desires and may be filed by whatever system the agency finds most convenient. Usually the facts are recorded in the individual or family case record but a master file or special card form is sometimes used, especially when the interview has been short and the informa¬ tion brief. Whatever the form of the record, and however filed, it is essential that it be identifiable and readily accessible and that it con¬ tain current information concerning the status of the application. The record includes evidence that the agency has assumed responsibility for making available the opportunity to apply; pertinent, complete, and dated information concerning the facts that establish eligibility or ineligibility; and information concerning other services desired by the applicant and the plans and activity involved in providing such services. It is recommended that, as a measure to promote efficiency in the exploration of eligibility and in recording, agencies examine and evaluate the forms required in all records, for the purpose of reducing the number to a minimum, removing duplications, and eliminating nonessential information. Various methods are used to notify applicants in writing of the decision on their applications. The one used should provide assurance that such notifications are made promptly and consistently on all applications. Notification of decision is the only way an applicant can loiow where he stands with the agency and is the basis upon which he can complain about or appeal against a decision he considers unfair. Informing applicants in writing of the final decision is not a substitute for keeping the applicant informed concerning the status of his appli¬ cation during the entire application process. At the very beginning of his relations with the agency, an applicant should know about his right to request a fair hearing if the agency fails to act on his application or if he is dissatisfied with the agency’s decision. Notification of the right to a hearing should include full 17 information concerning the method of requesting it. An informa¬ tional pamphlet ® including simply worded facts about the hearing process can be given out at the initial interview and is a handy ref¬ erence for applicants and recipients as questions arise concerning their rights and responsibilities. Written notification of the right to a hear¬ ing should be supplemented by oral interpretation at the earliest appropriate point. Staff Development and the Application Process As agencies improve and strengthen their standards and procedures relating to the application process and to the determination of eligibility, a parallel emphasis should be placed on staff development. The staff will need to understand the objectives of the standards, their meaning to individuals applying for and receiving assistance, and specific ways to use the standards in the day-by-day job. Too frequently, changes in policy are delayed on the grounds that staff are unable to apply them, whereas an accompanying staff develop¬ ment plan, designed to equip staff, might well prepare the way for the desirable change. Conversely, changes in policy are sometimes put into effect without sufficient consideration of the preparation required by staff for making effective use of the policy. It is recommended, therefore, that agencies initiate a reevaluation of their staff-develop¬ ment activities as they relate to the application process and determi¬ nation of inital eligibility. This should include consideration of both content and method in orientation of staff, in regular supervisory practices, in group conferences planned for special training purposes, and in other phases of staff development. Initial efforts to improve standards for the application process should be accompanied by a plan that identifies the areas in which the effectiveness of the application of the standards depends on the under¬ standing and acceptance of staff and the quality of their performance. The use of the applicant as the primary source of information in determining eligibility, for example, requires competence in inter¬ viewing. Securing facts necessary to determine eligibility, accuracy in evaluating these facts, and ability to develop a joint plan with the applicant for getting supplementary information are essential skills in using this standard. The supervisor should direct special attention toward helping staff members relate the policies and standards to individual situations. Supplementary training sessions may be re¬ quired in which emphasis is placed on clear understanding of the policy and its purpose, application of the policy in individual situa¬ tions through planned and well-focused discussion of selected case ® See Public Information, p. 8. 18 materials, and case work principles that are applied in establishing a constructive working relationship with applicants. A standard of promptness with respect to the application process cannot be implemented unless the staff is convinced of the importance of promptness. They will be convinced as they understand the pur¬ pose of an assistance program in providing economic security and the demoralizing effect that delay in receiving assistance has on the appli¬ cant. If, for any reason, the staff has become insensitive to the effect j of delay on the applicant, the agency will need to provide an oppor- i tunity for them to reconsider the significance of such standards for I the individual. Special attention should be directed toward helping j workers develop and use constructive work plans that will enable them to achieve the standard without sacrificing quality of work. If staff vacancies or high rates of turnover exist in particular local offices, the supervisory staff may require assistance in developing a realistic work plan to get the job done. In the initial effort to establish a standard of promptness, the cooperation and contribution of com¬ petent staff members may be secured in setting a realistic standard based on their experience in eliminating unproductive activity. These experiences and concrete suggestions should be useful for the purpose of interpretation at the time the specific standard is introduced. The analysis of the application process, presented on pages 3-5, may be used as a guide to agencies in reevaluating the staff development pro¬ gram and may suggest areas of content that should receive special attention in interpretation to staff. Considerable progress has been made in the development of clearly defined policy and in improving the application of policy to individual case situations. No agency will claim that all its policies are fully refined and complete, and each worker knows that his performance is improved by continuous supervision and other opportunities for learning. Each agency has made progress along certain lines and needs to work further in other areas. For agencies that have estab¬ lished the basic structure and effective methods of staff development, the introduction of new policies relating to applications means util¬ izing the available structure to explain new content. In agencies that have laid the groundwork for understanding current concepts of ad¬ ministering public assistance, but have delayed in developing applica¬ tion policies entirely consistent with their philosophy, the task of staff development lies in helping staff to relate new policies and procedures to familiar principles. If, in some instances, basic philosophy and principles are not firmly established, the agency has a much larger job, tliat of reorienting its staff to current concepts while at the same time improving its initial orientation toward the same goal. Under such conditions the agency needs to assume greater responsibility for guid- 19 ing workers in order to achieve a uniform interpretation of all pro¬ gram objectives. Helping staff to understand and use new policy relating to applications will be only one phase of an over-all reevalua¬ tion and revamping of the staff-development program. Policies and procedures and staff competence are inextricably in¬ terrelated and dependent one on the other. The smooth interaction of policies and staff performance support and carry forward the purpose of i)ublic assistance. The failure of either means weaknesses in the program and distress for needy applicants and recipients. Selected References 1.

EPLER FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION BUREAU OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE REPORT NO. 15 H Vs-s- ./1 3-7^ TfUtW9 FOREWORD r Information on sources of State revenues for public assistance pre¬ sented in this report brings up to date, through the fiscal year 1947, information previously summarized for the special types of public assistance for 1939 and for general assistance as of January 1940. With the great rise in total State revenues during the war years, the States tended increasingly to rely on general-fund revenues rather than earmarked revenues in meeting the State share of assistance. Earmarked revenues continue, however, to play a major part in the financing of public assistance in a number of States. The information on revenue som'ces is one segment of a study of State appropriations for assistance. The data should be useful in special analyses of the adequacy of the public assistance programs in relation to fiscal capacity. The data should be of value also in assist- mg States to devise more nearly equitable methods of allocating State and Federal funds among local units. For purposes of this study, the information on State appropriations compiled by the Bureau of Public Assistance was checked and supple¬ mented by staff members of the State assistance agencies, who also provided much valuable interpretive information. Every effort has been made to assure accuracy of the data and comparability from State to State in the classification of earmarked revenues. Special acknowledgment is due to members of the Bm-eau staff who participated in work on the report — to Gladys AI. Krueger, who helped compile the data for individual States; to Herman W. Gruber, who helped classify and tabulate tbe data on sources of revenue; and to the Bureau’s Regional Research Consultants, who checked the data with the State agencies. Our special thanks go to all staff members of State public assistance agencies who made this stud.y possible. Jane AI. Hoey, Director Bureau of Public Assista nce June 1948.

Under provisions of titles I, IV, and X of the act, Federal grants for these special types of public assistance are made available to States with plans approved by the Social Security Administration. One of the requirements that the States must meet in order to claim Federal funds is State financial participation in the cost of the special types of public assistance. Whether the non-Federal share of the cost is met enthely from State funds or from both State and local funds is determined by the State. General assistance is administered without Federal financial participation. Since its financing is entirely a State and local respon¬ sibility, each State determines whether the costs are to be met from State funds or local funds or both. Patterns of State-local financial participation in the special types of public assistance and general ! assistance not only vary from State to State but often differ among F programs within a State. Although a large number of States had enacted enabling legislation ■ for old-age assistance, aid to the blind, and aid to dependent children (or “mothers’ aid”) before the Social Security Act was passed, many of the State laws were optional in chai-acter and operative in relatively few counties. The requhement of the Social Security Act that programs for which Federal grants-in-aid are claimed must be oper¬ ative in all political subdivisions of the State made for substantial increase in the geographical coverage of many programs. With the provision of Federal funds and the requirement for State financial participation, there was rapid expansion in total funds available for the programs previously financed enthely from State and/or local funds. In addition, new programs were established under the stimulus of the Social Security Act. By September 1938, about three years after the Social Security Act was passed, all States were making old-age assistance payments under approved plans, with Federal financial participation. The other special types of public assistance expanded somewhat less rapidly than old-age assistance (appendix A). By January 1944, all States except Nevada were claiming Federal funds for aid to depend¬ ent children; in Nevada the localities continue to assume the sole financial responsibility for this program. Tliree States (Missouri, Nevada, and Pennsylvania) continue to administer aid to the blind under State laws with State or State and local funds but without Federal participation. By November 1945, all the other States were administering aid to the blind under plans approved by the Social Security Administration. 1 Tims in the fiscal year 1947, a total of 147 progi-ams for the special C! types of public assistance were in operation in the continental United J States. Federal funds were provided under approved plans for all S but four of these programs and State funds for all but one. Local funds were provided for 65 of the 147 programs (appendix B). In addition, some funds for general assistance were available in all States. The general assistance programs were financed entirely from State funds in 2 States and the District of Columbia, from both a State and local funds in 31 States, and entirely from local funds in a the other 15 States (appendix B). » Although local funds, typically derived from property taxes, are of considerable importance in financing programs in some States, they t constitute a relatively small part of the total expenditures for assist- • ance. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1947, only about 11 percent of the total bill for all types of assistance payments to recipients was ' met from local funds, in contrast to almost 46 percent met from State funds and 43 percent from Federal funds. Percentage-wise, local a funds were considerably more important in financing general assistance than in financing the special types of public assistance. In terms of I total dollar amounts, however, the special types of public assistance f drew more heavily than general assistance on local funds. The $58 million spent for general assistance from local funds was about two- f fifths of total expenditures for this type of aid; local funds of $88 I million for the special types of public assistance made up about a ' seventh of all State-local expenditures for these programs. A con- i siderably larger share of the total cost of all types of public assistance was met from State funds than from local funds not only in the Nation as a whole but in almost every State. This report summarizes for the fiscal years 1939-47 the basic som’ces of State revenues — general funds, earmarked taxes, or both — for all public assistance programs in the continental United States in which there was State financial participation, whether or not Federal funds were provided.^ In addition, the report includes information on the ; specific types of taxes earmarked for assistance by the States that used | _ 1 The sources of revenue reported are those from which funds were made available for the State share of assistance payments to recipients. Generally, costs of administration and assistance are met from the same sources in any given State, but insofar as sources of revenue for assistance payments differ from those for , administrative costs the latter are not covered by this report. Fiscal year, as used in this report, is the State fiscal year ending within the given calendar year. For most States, each fiscal year ended on June 30. A few States shifted, within the years 1939-47, from other fiscal periods to those ending on June 30. One State shifted from a July- June fiscal year to a fiscal year ending with March. The 1947 fiscal year covered the period July 1, 194fr-June 30, 1947, for all States except the following: State 1947 fiscal year Alabama _ _ _ _ Oct. 1, 1946-Sept. 30, 1947 New York, Washington, Wyoming... . .

Sept. 1, 1946-Aug. 31, 1947 2 earmarked revenues alone or in combination with general-fund reve¬ nues to finance the State share of one or more assistance programs. Sources of local revenue are not included. All programs for which State funds were made available are covered by this report, even though in a few instances no State funds were used within a given year for assistance payments to recipients.^ State funds were available throughout the period for old-age assistance in all 49 States (including the District of Columbia), for aid to the blind in 46 States, for aid to dependent children in 43 States, and for general assistance in 33 States.® The information presented here on the sources of State revenues was collected as part of a study which covered also the total amounts of State funds made available for public assistance programs in each State. The data on actual amounts available are useful in analysis of fiscal patterns for given States but will not be summarized for all States because of lack of comparability of data from State to State and from year to year. Comparability is affected particularly by variation in periods covered by appropriations and by the wide variety of, and changes in, programs for which lump-sum appropriations are made. Some appropriations are for annual, others for biennial, periods. Although the fiscal year for most States is July-June, total available funds relate to other fiscal periods in a few States.^ Some of the States that make lump¬ sum appropriations provide such over-all amounts for two or more assistance programs; some other States provide lump-sum appropri¬ ations for assistance programs and various other welfare purposes. Such appropriations, in contrast to separate appropriations for specified programs, of course make for greater flexibility in the use of assistance funds.® General-Fund and Farmarked Revenues In each State, general-fund revenues, in contrast to earmarked revenues, include all funds not specifically set aside for special pur¬ poses. “Earmarking’’ is the term most frequently used to describe the various methods of assigning proceeds of certain designated taxes or assessments to special purposes. In some instances, the relation¬ ship between the type of tax and the purpose for which the proceeds are reserved is a direct one, as in the case of the pay-roll taxes for unemployment insurance and old-age and survivors insurance. 2 See table 1, footnotes 7, 11, and 12 for Kentucky, South Dakota, and Texas. 2 See appendix C for list of programs for which State funds were not available during part or all of the period 1939-^7. * See footnote 1, page 2. • A brief discussion of the use of lump-sum appropriations is included in “Sources of Revenue and Types of Appropriation for the State Share of Assistance Programs, Fiscal Year 1947,” Social Security Bulletin, May 1948. 3 Proceeds from motor-vehicle and gasoline taxes have typically been assigned to highway funds reserved for construction and maintenance of roads, presumably on the assumption of a reasonably direct rela¬ tionship between the amount of such taxes paid by the automobile owner and his use of the highways. The earmarking of a given tax for a directly related purpose has been known as the benefit theory of taxation. No such direct relationship exists, however, between the many types of taxes earmarked for public assistance and the purpose for which they are earmarked, and undoubtedly the factors determining the types of taxes so earmarked differ greatly from State to State. The number of States that earmark a given type of tax for assistance is not necessarily, of course, the total number of States using such taxes in financing public assistance. Wlien assistance is financed from general-fund revenues, each type of revenue paid into the State general fund may be assumed to contribute toward such financing. General sales taxes, for example, were in effect during the 1947 fiscal year in a total of 23 States, including 7 that earmarked such taxes for assistance. In all 23, sales tax revenues were undoubtedly of considerable impor¬ tance to the assistance programs. For purposes of this report, the listing of specific types of revenue is limited to those earmarked for assistance and does not include those paid into the general funds of the States that financed assistance wholly or partly from general-fund revenues. Types of taxes earmarked for the State share of assistance have been classified insofar as possible in accordance with classifications and definitions followed by the Bureau of the Census. The listed earmarked taxes include all those from which collections for a given year were to be set aside for public assistance, although in a few instances no receipts were actually available for this purpose.® Taxes from which only the collections of penalties and delinquent taxes due in earlier years became available for assistance have not been included in the list of taxes earmarked for any given year. Methods of Earmarking Revenues for Public Assistance Most commonly, when revenues are earmarked for assistance, all revenues from certain taxes (except costs of collection) or specified percentages of such revenues are assigned to one or more programs. In some instances, specified dollar amounts or specified proportions of revenues up to given dollar maximums are so assigned, or a specified amount or proportion of the proceeds in excess of the amount assigned to other purposes may be earmarked for assistance. In other instances, the assistance programs are “charges” against the earmarked revenues, « For example, there were no collections from the earmarked taxes on racing in Arkansas in 1945, when no racing meet was held. 4 although no amount or proportion of such revenues is specifically set aside for these programs except by regular legislative appropriation. In some States, collections from earmarked revenues are transferred directly to assistance funds and determine the amounts available for one or more programs. Revenues may be allotted to a single program or as a lump-sum to two or more programs; in two of the States that earmark the same revenues for several programs the proportions to be allocated to various programs are specified by law. In some other States, legislative appropriations from earmarked revenues rather than collections determine the amounts available for assistance. In these instances, unless provision is made for use of general-fund revenues when earmarked revenues are insufficient, col¬ lections limit the amounts available if they are less than the appro¬ priations, but the appropriations limit amounts available when col¬ lections exceed appropriations. For example, in Arkansas, where all public assistance programs are financed from revenues allocated to the public welfare fund, revenues earmarked for the fund were insufficient to meet the appropriations in 1939-41 ; in subsequent years, revenues assigned to this fund exceeded the amounts appropriated, but accumu¬ lated balances remaining in the fund were not available for expenditure.^ Florida, on the other hand, has attempted to guarantee availability of specified amounts by providing that the appropriations minus any amounts available from earmarked revenues shall be met from general revenues. Connecticut has each year provided $2,225,000 for old-age assistance and aid to the blind from assessments on the towns, to be met from the State per capita tax levy. The State provided first for loans, then for outright transfers, from the general fund to make up differences between the totals of the assessments and the amounts appropriated. Some other States that use both general and earmarked revenues to finance assistance programs appropriate specific amounts from general revenues, in addition to whatever amounts become available from earmarked revenues. Effects of Earmarking Revenues The earmarking of revenues for assistance is intended to assure their availability for this purpose, and undoubtedly in some States, when general funds have been depleted, earmarked revenues have provided more nearly adequate funds for assistance than would otherwise have been made available from general-fund appropriations. But earmark¬ ing is not without serious disadvantages. The assistance agency’s problem of budgeting funds is increased when the amounts available ’’ Through 1945, the public welfare fund consisted of earmarked revenues. In 1946 and 1947, specified percentages of all general revenues were allocated to the public welfare fund. 793415°— 48 - 2 5 depend on tax collections that vary from month to month. Further¬ more, earmarking sometimes results in limiting unnecessarily the i amount available for assistance. Tax yields are generally affected by changes in economic conditions, and some types of taxes are subject to greater fluctuation than others. The earmarking of taxes unusually !i sensitive to business fluctuations leads inevitably to sharp declines in available funds at the very time when the need for public assistance is i greatest. Earmarking of revenues may result in either disproportion- j ately high or disproportionately low amounts for public assistance in ' relation to funds available for other important functions of govern¬ ment. On the whole, general-fund revenues are more likely than ear¬ marked revenues to provide a sound financial base for the public assistance programs. 6 TRENDS IN USE OF GENERAL AND EARMARKED REVENUES, 1939-47 Most of the States met their share of the cost of each public assistance program in which there was State financial participation from the same basic source or soiu'ces of revenue tliroughout the period 1939-47. Twenty-three States financed all programs from general revenues throughout the period, five financed all programs entirely from earmarked revenues, and one drew on both general and ear¬ marked revenues for all programs (table 1). Five other States, which drew on general revenues only for one or more programs and on earmarked revenues only or a combination of general and ear¬ marked revenues for other programs, followed the same pattern of financing each program in all years in which State funds were pro¬ vided. The 34 States that used the same sources of revenue through¬ out the period were: Source of State funds for public assistance, fiscal years 1939-47 Number of States States All programs financed entirely from general rev¬ enues. ' 23 California, Delaware, District of Co¬ lumbia, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Peimsylvania, South Caro¬ lina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wis¬ consin. All programs financed entirely from earmarked revenues. 5 Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Utah. All programs financed from both general and ear¬ marked revenues. 1 Alabama. 1 or more programs financed entirely from general revenues, others entirely from earmarked rev¬ enues. 2 Colorado, Nevada. Some programs financed entirely from general revenues, others from general and earmarked revenues. 3 Comiecticut, Illinois, Ohio. The remaining 15 States changed the sources of revenue for the State- share of one or more of the public assistance programs within the period. Twelve of these States shifted to general-fund financing for one or more programs within the period 1939-47. Only three States (Iowa, North Dakota, and Oregon) made changes in the direc¬ tion of relatively greater use of earmarked revenues. Among the 12 States that shifted from earmarked to general revenues, the 10 listed below made changes resulting in general-fund financing of all assistance programs by 1946. 7 State Fiscal years in which all pro¬ grams were fi¬ nanced from gen¬ eral revenues only Programs ' financed wholly or partly from earmarked revenues, by fiscal years Arizona _ _ 1946, 1947 _ BCG, 1939-43; A, 1939-45.

In addition to these 10 States, Oklahoma shifted from earmarked to general revenues for general assistance, but continued to meet the State share of the special types of public assistance entirely from ear¬ marked revenues. Florida, which previously had used earmarked revenues for both old-age assistance and aid to the blind, in 1945 made an appropriation for aid to the blind and old-age assistance available from the general fund only; an additional appropriation for old-age assistance was to be met from earmarked revenues and, insofar as necessary, the general fund. The three States that shifted to more extensive use of earmarked revenues all changed from using both general and earmarked revenues to using earmarked revenues exclusively. In Iowa, only the general assistance program was affected. The change in the method of financing the State share of general assistance in 1942 coincided with a sharp drop in expenditures; Iowa made no expenditures from State funds for this program after 1945. North Dakota and Oregon, which had earlier drawn on both general and earmarked revenues for all programs, from 1944 on used earmarked revenues only. In both of these States the exclusive use of earmarked revenues was presumably due to the rise in collections of earmarked taxes rather than to any change in the legal base for financing the programs. The North Dakota sales tax legislation and legislation appropriating funds for public assistance continue to be interpreted to mean that, if that part of the sales tax allocated to the public welfare fund is insufficient to meet the specific appropriations for assistance, the general fund may be drawn upon. In Oregon, assistance funds have been made available by legislative transfers from receipts from liquor taxes and insofar as necessary from the general fund. A total of 33 States financed the State share of all programs entirely from general revenues in 1946 and 1947, in contrast to 24 States using general revenues only in 1939. 8 Number of States meeting State share of public assistance from — General and earmarked revenues Year General revenues only, all programs Earmarked revenues only, all programs General revenues only, 1 or more programs; ear¬ marked only or general and ear¬ marked, other programs Other com¬ binations of general and earmarked revenues 1939 _ _ 24 9 10 6 1940 _ _ _ _ _ 29 8 8 4 1941 _ _ _ _ 29 8 8 4 1942.. _ _ _ 28 7 10 4 1943 _ _ 27 7 11 4 1944... _ _ 27 8 12 2 1945 . . . . . . . 28 8 11 2 1946... _ _ _ _ 33 7 8 1 1947.. . . . . 33 7 8 1 In terms of programs, the State share of assistance for 136 of the 180 public assistance programs was met entirely from general revenues in 1947; by contrast, general revenues only were used for 106 of the 176 programs in which there was State financial participation in 1939. Shifts from earmarked revenues to general-fund financing consider¬ ably more than offset the few changes in the opposite direction.

Similarly, a relatively high proportion of the States earmarked revenues for general assistance in 1939, when total expendi¬ tures from State funds for this program were higher than State ex¬ penditures for all the special types of public assistance combined. In 1939, State funds for 21 of the 49 old-age assistance programs and 16 of the 37 general assistance programs came wholly or partly from earmarked revenues; in the same year, the State share was,met wholly or partly from earmarked revenues for 17 of the 46 aid to the 9 blind programs and 16 of the 44 programs for aid to dependent chil¬ dren. By 1947, the total number of programs financed entirely or partly from earmarked revenues had dropped to 44, from a high of 70 in 1939. This decrease reflected the drop in the use of earmarked revenues for assistance programs of each type. Revenues continued, however, to be earmarked for a relatively high proportion of old-age assistance programs. State funds from earmarked revenues were provided, in 1947, for 14 of the 49 old-age assistance programs, 11 of the 49 aid to the blind programs, 1 1 of the 48 aid to dependent children programs, and 8 of the 34 general assistance programs in which there was State financial participation. During the war years, when State tax revenues in general rose to unprecedented levels, collections both of revenues assigned to general funds and of types of revenues earmarked for public assistance showed increases in most States.^ Perhaps for this reason, there was some tendency to meet the State share of assistance either entirely from general revenues or entirely from earmarked revenues. Within the period 1939-47, there was a relatively greater decline in the number of programs financed from both general and earmarked revenues than in the number financed entirely from earmarked revenues. By 1947, 5 States were financing a total of 10 programs from general and ear¬ marked revenues; in 1939, 10 States financed 20 programs from both these sources of revenues. In the same period, 1939-47, the number of programs financed entirely from earmarked revenues dropped from 50 in 18 States to 34 in 11 States, TYPES OF REVENUES EARMARKED, 1939-47 Of the 26 States that made use of earmarked revenues in financing public assistance within the period 1939-47, a total of 22 earmarked general sales or use taxes and/or sales taxes on selected commodities or services, such as liquor or tobacco or public-utility receipts (tables 2 and 3). The general sales taxes are of course levied on the whole buying population; they frequently include taxes on specifically enumerated commodities or services, such as taxes on admissions and amusements, on public-utility receipts, and on restaurant meals, but they differ from the separately imposed taxes on selected com¬ modities in that the general sales or gross receipts taxes are imposed also on retail sales of all commodities not specifically exempted. The selective sales taxes are separately imposed taxes on specified com¬ modities and services, many of which may be considered “luxuries.” For purposes of this report, earmarked taxes have been broadly classified as follows: general sales, use, or gross receipts taxes; sales - { - S Revenues from some types of taxes, including sales taxes on gasoline and tobacco, and the various types of racing revenues typically declined in some years because of war-time shortages and restrictions. 10 taxes on selected commodities and services; license and privilege taxes; and other types of revenue, including individual and corporation income taxes, property taxes, and per capita taxes. Per capita taxes, like the general sales taxes, may be said to be imposed on the general population, whereas most of the others are presumed to be related to ability to pay. General and selective sales taxes and license and privilege taxes, chiefly liquor license fees, have been more commonly earmarked for public assistance than have other types of taxes. A total of 13 States earmarked general sales taxes for 43 programs during all or part of the period 1939-47 (tables 3 and 4). All but two of these States (North Dakota and Utah) earmarked also sales taxes on selected commodities and/or services, and nine additional States earmarked selective sales taxes. Among the various types of sales taxes on selected commodities and services, those on alcoholic beverages have been most commonly earmarked for public assistance. A total of 15 States assigned sales taxes on alcoholic beverages to one or more of the assistance programs during all or part of the period 1939^7. Other types of selective sales taxes earmarked for public assistance include tobacco taxes (six States), taxes on admissions and amusements (four States), taxes on motor fuels, public-utility receipts, and pari-mutuels (each type of tax earmarked by three States), and taxes on cosmetics, restaurant meals, sale of used cars, motor vehicles in general, radios, playing cards, carbon black, cement, oil and gas-well servicing, and insurance premiums. In general, earmarking of sales taxes on alcoholic beverages was accompanied by earmarking of liquor license fees. Eleven of the 15 States that assigned sales taxes on alcoholic beverages to public assist¬ ance similarly earmarked various types of license and privilege taxes on alcoholic beverages. Two of these same States (Oregon and Wyoming) and one additional State (Alabama) earmarked also pro¬ ceeds from the State liquor monopolies. License and privilege taxes on amusements and/or race tracks were earmarked by five States; corporation-franchise taxes or taxes on cor¬ poration assets were earmarked by three States, and other types of license fees, such as vending-machine and special types of automobile licenses, by four States. Less commonly earmarked for public assistance were the various types of taxes other than sales and license and privilege taxes. Four States earmarked taxes on real property, and one additional State (Maryland) earmarked, in 1939 only, taxes on personal property. Both individual and corporation income taxes were assigned to public assistance programs by four States, death and gift taxes by three States, severance taxes on the extraction of oil or other minerals by 11 three States, per capita taxes by two States, and other miscellaneous taxes, including taxes on stock transfers and the recording of legal documents, by three States. Most of the 26 States that have financed public assistance from any sources of revenue other than the State general fund have earmarked more than one type of tax. Only one State (Utah) met the entire cost of the State share of all public assistance programs throughout the period 1939-47 from a single type of earmarked taxes — general sales and use taxes. Only four other States earmarked a single type of tax within the period: Type of earmarked tax State Per capita tax _ Connecticut. Selective sales tax on tobacco products _ Maine. Selective sales tax on motor fuels _ Rhode Island. Property tax- _ Minnesota. The remaining 21 States have earmarked various combinations of taxes as follows: Types of taxes earmarked within the period 1939-47 for 1 or more assistance programs Number of States States General and selective sales taxes, license and privilege taxes, other revenues. 5 Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexi¬ co, Wyoming.

In general, the States that have earmarked taxes for more than one of the assistance programs have earmarked the same types of taxes for all these programs. Several States, however, have earmarked additional taxes for old-age assistance. For example, Alabama pro¬ vides 10 percent (up to a maximum of $200,000) of the net proceeds of State liquor stores, as well as lump-sum general-fund appropria¬ tions, for various welfare programs; in addition, after payments are made to pensioners from the Confederate veterans’ pension fund, derived from a 1-mill property tax, the balance in the fund is made available for old-age assistance. Colorado assigns to old-age assist¬ ance the revenues from certain corporation-franchise and death and gift taxes, in addition to revenues from general sales taxes and liquor sales taxes and license fees, earmarked also for aid to the blind, aid to dependent children, and child welfare services. New Mexico since 1944 has allotted to old-age assistance the proceeds from a tobacco 12 tax, in addition to any allocations to this program from revenues ear¬ marked for all welfare programs, from the compensating use tax, sales and license taxes on alcoholic beverages, the corporation-franchise tax, and the oil severance tax. In North Dakota, which earmarks general sales taxes for all assistance programs, an amusement-device tax imposed in 1942 has been earmarked for old-age assistance only. Oregon has also earmarked a tax on coin-operated machines and other amusement devices for old-age assistance only, although expenditures for this program as well as the other assistance programs are met almost entirely from legislative appropriations from the liquor reve¬ nues. In Texas, funds for all assistance programs are provided from the omnibus tax clearance fund, consisting of revenues from a wide variety of taxes, chiefly selective sales taxes; additional taxes on tobacco, amusements, and coin-operated machines are available for old-age assistance only. PATTERNS IN THE FISCAL YEAR 1947 In the fiscal year 1947, 33 States financed the State share of all their public assistance programs entirely from general revenues. These 33 States provided State funds for a total of 122 programs — the special types of public assistance in all States and general assist¬ ance in 23 States. Seven of the 16 States using earmarked revenues for public assist¬ ance drew on these revenues only for all programs; the others used general-fund revenues solely or in combination with earmarked reve¬ nues for one or more programs. These 16 States provided State funds for a total of 58 programs — ■ all four assistance programs in 11 States, the three special types only in 4 States, and old-age assistance and aid to the blind only in 1 State. State funds for 34 of the 58 programs were made available solely from earmarked revenues; 14 were financed enthely from gen¬ eral-fund revenues, and 10 from combined earmarked and general revenues. Various taxes were earmarked for public assistance, but as was generally true in earlier years sales taxes were more frequently ear¬ marked than other types of revenues. Thirteen States earmarked either general sales or use taxes or selective sales taxes or both. Most of these same States earmarked other types of taxes as well. In only a minority of the States earmarking revenues for public assistance in 1947 did the receipts from such revenues directly deter¬ mine the amounts available for the State share of assistance payments. In most States either legislative action was required to transfer ear¬ marked revenues to the assistance agencies or general-fund appropria¬ tions were provided in addition to the earmarked revenues. 13 Sources oj State Revenues for Public Assistance, 1947 Of course, earmarked revenues are generally subject to legislative control, in that State legislation determines the types of revenues, and the proportions of such revenues, to be set aside for public assist- ance. When additional legislative control is exercised over funds available from earmarked revenues, appropriations from such reve¬ nues usually bear some relationship to the amount of anticipated collections. Thus in all States using earmarked revenues, both legis¬ lation and receipts influence the amount of available funds. Never¬ theless, a distinction may be made between the programs for which amounts available are directly contingent on collections from ear¬ marked revenues and those for which specific legislative appropria¬ tions are made from earmarked revenues.

ABC ' Legislative maximums on amounts made available from earmarked revenues. 2 In addition to the lump-sum appropriation from earmarked revenues for all programs, a relatively small amount determined by collections was available for old-age assistance only from the amusement- device tax. 2 Beginning with April 1947, amounts available were determined by appropriations; previously the emergency relief fund, consisting of earmarked revenues, was appropriated to the governor for welfare purposes. < Specified amount made available from severance tax; specified percentages of collections available from other earmarked taxes. 14 Alaximum amounts to be made available from earmarked revenues were set by legislative action for 22 of the 34 programs financed entirely from earmarked revenues in 1947 ; receipts from the specified percent¬ ages of revenues earmarked for public assistance determined amounts available for the other 12 programs. Except for Colorado, in all States that provided funds from earmarked rev^enues only for more than one assistance program, amounts available for each program were deter¬ mined in the same general way — that is, either by legislative appropria¬ tions or by collections. Colorado’s constitution provides for the allocation to old-age assist¬ ance of 85 percent of net revenues from all general sales or use taxes and all alcoholic-beverage sales and license and privilege taxes “now or hereafter levied” and 100 percent of net revenues from certain surtaxes on inheritances and incorporation fees. Continuing appropriations for aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, child welfare services, and an emergency and contingent fund are made from the remaining 15 percent of the general sales and use taxes and the taxes on alcoholic beverages. In Utah, before the 1946 fiscal year, all revenues earmarked for pub¬ lic assistance and other welfare purposes and assigned to the emergency relief fund were “appropriated to the governor” for the specified pur¬ poses, and thus amounts determined by collections became dhectly available to the assistance agency. In 1945 the State legislature limited the amount which could become available by an act, effective until July 1, 1947, which provided for transferring to the State general fund at the beginning of each quarter any amount over $6 million in the emergency relief fund. In 1947 the legislation that had provided for appropriation of the emergency relief fund to the gov^ernor was amended to read, in part, “Expenditures from said fund shall be made as provided by legislative appropriations . . . ,” and specific appro¬ priations were made for the months of April, May, and June 1947. Thus during the first 3 calendar quarters of the fiscal year amounts available to the Utah agency were contingent on receipts from the earmarked sales and use taxes, subject to legislative limitation on the total amount that might be retained in the emergency relief fund. During the last quarter of the year, however, amounts were directly controlled by legislation. Amounts available were similarly deter¬ mined by legislative appropriations in Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, Oregon, and Texas. Of the five States in which amounts available depended on collections from earmarked revenues, one State (Nebraska) appropriated the esti¬ mated total receipts from earmarked revenues; actual receipts rather than the estimated total included in the appropriation act determined the amount available for assistance. In Oklahoma, amounts becom¬ ing available to the State assistance fund from the general sales and 15 tobacco taxes are limited only by receipts, but the proportions of total earmarked revenues to be available for each program are specified by the State legislature. For 1947, 75 percent of the total was for old-age assistance only, 17 percent for aid to dependent children, 2 percent for aid to the blind, 1 percent for child welfare services and services for crippled children, and the remaining 5 percent for administration of all these programs. In Nevada, the rate of the property tax levy for old-age assistance is determined by the legislature on the basis of the estimated needs of the program; collections from this additional tax levy then determine the amount available. CONCLUSION Throughout the period 1939-47, State funds for most of the public assistance programs were derived from general revenues. There was a trend during the period away from the use of earmarked revenues. Whether this trend, which accompanied the significant increase in State revenues during the war years, would continue in a period of declining revenues is problematical. Typically the State legislatures have exercised direct control over funds available for public assistance. Even when revenues were specifically set aside for public assistance, amounts made available for assistance within a given period were often limited by direct legislative appropriations or by legislative maximums set on amounts to be available or on balances to be retained in assistance funds. Declines in the number of States earmarking particular types of taxes corresponded roughly to the decrease in the total number of States using earmarked revenues for public assistance. There were no identifiable trends in the earmarking of any given type of tax. Tlu-oughout the period covered by this report, general and selective sales taxes were most frequently earmarked for public assistance. Types of taxes earmarked in any given State were influenced by a great variety of factors, analysis of which would necessarily involve consideration of the whole pattern of revenues and expenditures and the fiscal capacity of the State. 16 Appendix A Year and month in which Federal funds were first used for assistance 'payments under currently approved plans (as of fiscal year ended June 30, 1947) state OAA AB ADC Alabama _ _ Feh. 1936 Apr. 1937 Feb. 1936 July 1945 June 1936 Apr. 1936 July 1936 Apr. 1936 Dec. 1941 Aug. 1936 Feb 1936 Alaska _ July 1937 July 1937 Mar. 1936 Arizona. . .

Data have been summarized for all pro¬ grams in which there was State financial participation, whether or not Federal ' funds were provided. In addition, information is presented on the specific types ; of taxes earmarked for assistance by the States that used earmarked revenues alone, or in combination with general revenues to finance the State share of one or more assistance programs. No information in included on the sources of local revenue. During the fiscal year 1949 State funds accounted for $871 million, or 44o7 percent of the $1,950 million expended for assistance payments; about $889 million (45 06 percent) came from Federal funds and $190 million (9® 7 percent) from local funds. The expenditures from State funds for assistance payments in 1949 repre¬ sented a 42 percent increase over the amount spent in 1947® These funds are de¬ rived from general revenues, earmarked taxes, or a combination of both. General revenues include all funds not specifically set aside for particular purposes. In 1949 more than three-fourths of the State funds came from the general revenues of 44 States, including the 12 that used general funds in combination with earmarked revenues. On the other hand, earmarked taxes include all those sources from which the proceeds, in whole or in part, were to be set aside for public assistance. For the country as a whole, the sources of State funds were practically the same in 1949 as in 1947® Among the six States that had changes in revenue sources, three made greater use of general revenues whereas three other States used earmark¬ ed revenues more extensively (table 1). Basic Sources in 1949 In 1949 about three-fifths of the States tJ met the State share of public assistance entirely from general revenues. These 32 States provided State funds for a total of 118 programs— the 3 special types of public assistance in all 32 States, and general assistance in 23 States. The remaining 19 States "earmarked'* State revenues for one or more of their assistance programs, ij Seven of these States depended entirely on earmarked funds for all assistance programs; the others used a combination of earmarked and general revenues, or general revenues alone for one or more programs. These 19 States pro¬ vided State funds for 69 programs — all 4 assistance programs in 13 States, the 3 special types only in 5 States, and old-age assistance and aid to the blind only "ij Epler, Elizabeth G., Sources of Revenue for the State Share of Public Assistanc' 1939-47.

In 1949 relatively greater use of general rev¬ enues was made by three States — Connecticut, Iowa, and Nebraska, Connecticut which had used the proceeds from a poll tax in combination with general funds for old-age assistance and aid to the blind, shifted in 1948 to the use of general | revenues only for these two programs. The change in Iowa affected only the old- age assistance program. From 1939 through 1947, this program was financed entire¬ ly by the proceeds of certain sales, individual and corporation income taxes and j special corporation taxes; in 1948 and 1949, however, the legislature appropri¬ ated an annual amount of $2 million from the general fund to supplement the |l0 million derived annually from earmarked revenues. Earmarked revenues 7 only, all programs Various combinations 12 of general and ear¬ marked revenues Nebraska which had earlier relied solely on earmarked revenues for the three special types of public assistance continued to use some earmarked funds but also drew heavily on general revenues for 1948 and 1949* Prior to 1948, the taxes earmarked for public assistance included certain alcoholic beverage taxes, motor fuel taxes, excise and estate taxes, and per capita taxes; only the two last-named groups of taxes were earmarked for public assistance in 1948 and 1949* On the other hand, earmarked revenues were used to a larger extent by thr« other States — Louisiana, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, In 1949 Louisiana shifted from the use of general funds only, to a combination of general and earmarked rev enues for financing all four assistance programs, thus reverting to the pattern I - 3 “ that existed in 1940. As a result of a liberalization of the old-age assistance law, and of changes in general public welfare legislation, expenditures from State funds for public assistance in Louisiana during 1949 were about four times as large as in 194S. To provide additional funds for this greatly expanded program, the State legislature assigned the proceeds of a general sales tax to the welfare fund. In addition to these earmarked funds, the welfare fund had an unexpended balance of $25 million which previously had been appropriated from general revenues. From 1940 through 1947, Rhode Island used general revenues for all four as¬ sistance programs; in 1948 and 1949, however, a public assistance reserve fund, established in 1942 and derived in part from earmarked revenues, was drawn upon to supplement general funds for the general assistance program. Tennessee, which had previously used only general funds for the three spe¬ cial types of public assistance, began in 1948 to use both general and earmarked revenues. Through a ruling of the State attorney general, about $2 million from sales tax revenues was released to the welfare department effective April 1, 1948, and another $2 million from the same source for the fiscal year 1949 • Trends in Revenue Sources Over the past 10 years, the number of States using general revenues only for all assistance programs advanced significantly in 1940 and again in 1946. As shown in the tabulation below, in each instance the number remained the same in the succeeding year, but declined in the next 2 years. It remains to be seen whether the next few years will show a further drop or another upward shift.

Thus, the number of programs financed entirely from general revenues rose from 109 in 1939, to 125 in 1941; and from 128 in 1945, to 139 in 1946 and 1947 • The decline to 133 that occurred in 1949 was somewhat greater, however, than that in the early forties.

Gen¬ eral sales or use taxes were earmarked for nine States; four of these States and five others earmarked selective sales taxes, frequently on alcoholic beverages. Most of the States earmarking general or selective sales taxes earmarked other types of revenues. Other types of taxes earmarked for public assistance included license and privilege taxes, death and gift taxes, severance taxes, income taxes, and various others (table 2). The States which earmark certain taxes for public assistance are not the only ones that use the proceeds of such taxes for assistance. In States using general revenues for the assistance programs, the financing actually is shared by all State revenues assigned to the general fund. For example, of the 29 States with general sales taxes in 1949, only 9 earmarked such taxes for assistance. In all 29 States, however, general sales tax revenues were undoubtedly very important to public assistance. - 5 - Table 1.
