-- ... . wv,, iMUMU»n ,l»n ruiDIT I _•. !•#, I Flaherty Says: State To AicLCounties Secretary of Human Re sorces David Flaherty has announced a program to aid counties in alleviating the backlog of food stamp appli cants. The program includes state matching runds to pay overtime to county food stamp workers. "Governor Holshouser dir ected me to come up with a plan to help our citizens parti cularly between now and Christmas. We went to- the county directors of social services and this plan is a direct result of their counsel." Flaherty said. Flaherty said the matching fund sets up $400,000 in state money. Counties who seek to draw on this pool will match dollar for dollar. Then there will be a federal match of that total. “The state puts up a dollar, a participating county puts up a dollar and in turn the fedeal government will match that with two dollars,” Flaherty said. He said the state would go ahead and pay the 75 percent portion and get a later reimbursement so that the process won't be held up. .."The county directors felt this would be a better was than hiring additional per sonnel who would have to be trained and 'broken in'. We would lose the drive of trying to do something between now and Christmas if we waited to do that." he said. “One county director said his people would work 12-11 hour days and Saturdays to get the job done.” Flaherty continued. "That's the spirit we need." Flaherty 'said that the Governor's Office of Infer governmental Relations was asking l’. S. Secretary of Agriculture Karl Butz to waive the restricions requiring re-certification of food stamp participants for 60 days. “The Governor is in volved in this because he wants to do what lie van to help our citizens during this economic crunch and especi ally at Christmas. We urge the counties to participate in this program. Many of them hate asked us lor help In addition to tin- asking for the re-certification waiv er and setting up the matching funds, the program includes: - I rging food stamp offices to make heller use ol their exist ing personnel. \sk that issuing locations remain open every working day instead of closing near months’ end to complete re ports.
