The other major provi-
sions are:
—Supplemental benefits

pendent children pro-
grams, so that present lev-
els of aid would not be re-
duced. The states would
not be required to contrib-
ute to the "working poor"
families.
—Operation of the wel-
fare program to be by the
Social Security Adminis-
tration's 800 offices, with
its computerized technolo-
gy. While the state welfare
bureaucracy would not be
eliminated, applicants for
aid would start first with
the Social Security office,
said White House sources.
The estimated cost of
welfare reform program in
its first year of operation
is $4 billion. This is in ad-
dition to the current level
of public assistance, esti-
mated at about $4.2 billion.
Mr. Nixon justified this
increased cost, in saying:
"Ever y businessman
and every working man
knows what 'start up'
costs are. They are a
heavy investment made in
the early years, in the ex-
pectation that they will
more than pay for them-
selves in future years.
"If we fail to make this
investment ... we will
only be pouring good mon-
ey after bad in ever-in-
creasing amounts."
The basic federal pay-
ments vary widely.
For a family of four —
mother, father and two
children — without any in-
come, it Avould be $1,600
annually. The family could
earn an additional $720 a
year, and still receive the
$1,600 benefits, for a total
of $2,320.

federal benefit would be
reduced by $1 for every $2
earned.
When earned income
reaches $3,920, the
m e m b a r family
draw no benefit.
But families of
with outside earnings of
$5,720 would still be eli-
gible for federal benefits.
Setting a basic federal
payment schedule is an at-
tempt to wipe out such ine-
quities as payment of $39 a
month to a four-member
family in Mississippi and
benefits of $263 a month to
the same size family in
New Jersey.
The family benefits pro-
gram would cost an esti-
mated $2.5 billion a year,
ou of the total projected $4
billion.
Of the remaining $1.5
billion, $600,000,000 would
go for training and day
care centers; $500,000,000
f o r administration and
$400,000,000 for the three
U.S.-assisted programs
aside from AFDC.
Minimums Set
These are aid to the
blind, the disabled and the
aged. The plans call for a
$65 monthly federal mini-
mum contribution for each
recipient.
The purpose of this is to
eliminate such inequities
as payments of $40 a
month to an aged person
in Mississippi as compared
to the $145 a month a blind
person gets in California.
In no case, administra-
tion sources added, would
recipients get less than
they are now receiving.
In addition, the federal
government will render
fiscal relief to states under
the so-called “50-90" rules.
Under this formula each
state must continue to give
at least 50 per cent of its
present contributions to
programs for which it re-
ceives federal aid, but not
more than 90 per cent.
