Overhaul Seen For Welfare Aid
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Kennedy Administration is ready to launch a drastic overhaul of America's public welfare programs.
The first step will be taken next week. Abraham Ribicoff, secretary of health, education and welfare, will issue a series of administrative orders modifying relief regulations which have been the target of mounting public criticism.
More sweeping reforms, requiring legislative action, will be proposed in a special message which President Kennedy plans to send to Congress in January.
The overall blueprint will place heavy emphasis on helping relief families to become self-supporting rather than remaining in a state of chronic dependency.
It also is aimed at eliminating welfare abuses, particularly in the controversial Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) program. Officials contend such abuses have been grossly exaggerated by welfare critics. But they know that public ie has been aroused by stories about able-bodied men who refuse to work, and unwed mothers who squander their aid checks.
Present federal welfare programs had their roots in the depression. They have undergone no basic changes in 26 years. About seven million Americans currently are receiving public assistance, at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $4 billion a year.
The new rehabilitation services may boost welfare costs by about $200 million a year initially. But officials are convinced that in the long run they will save billions of dollars.
