In North Carolina
Year of Progress For Public Welfare
During 1903 there has been in
creased emphasis on the importan
ce of providing services to peo
ple with a view to helping them help
themselves, stated State Commis
sioner of Public Welfare Ellen
Winston, in reviewing the work ai
the public welfare program for
many years," she added, "however,
the 1982 amendments to the Social
Security Act have provided new
ways of implementing this emphas
is."
Prior to the current amendments.
Federal participation in the coat of
administering special services to
public assistance recipients has
seen on a dollar for dollar basis,
Now, the Federal share has been
increased from SO per cent to 75
per cent for special service cases,
rhe additional money which this
plan will bring to North Carolina
sin be used to provide the addi
ional staff necessary to place
greater emphasis on services to
leople. The increase will be based
m a classification of all public as
i istance cases in order to select
hose cases where the specified ser
vices are being given.
"The aim," Dr. Winston pointed
wt, "is to reduce or prevent de
>endency by helping recipients to
ittain self-care or self-support and
a strengthen famliy living.
Another new provision, already
n effect in North Carolina, makes
t possible to include both parents,
there the father is incapacitated,
n the welfare payment, whereas in
he past only one parent could be
ncluded.
umer amendments simplify the
idministration of the hospitaliza
ion program for the medically in
iigent which was established on the
>as!s of legislation enacted by the
961 Genera] Assembly to provide
lospttalization for persons who
neet the eligibility requirements
inder one of the public assistance
trograms, but who are rot eligi
>le for monthly assistance pay
nents. One of these amendements
iow maVe* It possible to provide
lospitaKziation for the parents as
veil as for the children in needy
amities, even though the family
nay not be entitled to a monthly
issistance payment.
Another amendment which has
ilrepdy b-en put into effect provid
>s for more time to determine cli
pbility cf medically indigent per
ons under the pro- ram establish
?d by the 1961 General Assembly
rhis mears more careful review of
iuch cases.
Payments to hospitals out of Fed
-al r-1 comity funds for
he hospitalization of assistance re
'ipients increased Pom $2,715,752
or the fiscal year 1960-31 to $4,373,
34 for the fiscal year 1951-61. Th's
ncrcase is largely dve to the fact
hat the 1931 General Assembly in
Teased the appropriation to make
t possible to pay $1$ a day instead
if $10 a day. Under the extended
rcT'ra for pc-snra "'ho are medi
ally indigent but who are not eli
gible for monthly assistance pay
nents. a total of $1,492,777 was paid
0 hosoitals during, 1961-62.
In order to increase payments to
>AA and APTO recipients one of
be 1962 amendments provided for
1 few matching formula, effective,
Ictcfjer 1. 1962. This made it pos
ible to increase payments on the
y , i
average by $1.80 for recipients on
der these two programs. The in
crease is provided oat of Federal
funds without any acMUionpt State
or county money.'
Services to the Aged
During 1962 increased emphasis
has been placed on
of services needed by dhttrrter
sons in their own homes. Thevalue
of individualized services to per
sons in their own homes ft being
clearty demonstrated in a special
unit of services to older persons
in the Forsyth County Department j
of Public Welfare. This project is |
made possible by a grant from the
Mary Reynolds Babcock Founda
tion and is now in its secoad year.
For the small percentage of old
er persons who must live in group
care facilities, the rapid develop
ment of family care homes for five
or fewer residents now provides
more selectivity in one's own com
munity. In each county department
of public welfare at least one case- i
worker is assigned to provide ser
vices to residents in domiciliary
facilities and to help operators of
these facilities licensed by the State
Board of Pubic Welfare. These fac
ilities include the nonprofit homes
for the aged, the proprietary homes
for the aged, and the family care
homes.
Surplus Commodity Program
Thirty-nine counties in North Car
olina participated in the Surplus
Commodity Food Distribution pro
gram during the year. In Novem
ber, Nash County began participa
tion in the Pilot Food Stamp Pro
gram to make it possible for low
'"come families to buy more nutri
tious foods for well balanced diets
?ua to increase the economy of the
county through increased food pur
chasing power. The county depart
ments of public welfare certify eli
gible families to receive the do
nated foods or to purchase food
coupons on the basis of income, re
sources, and the number of per
sons in the household. Onlv those
persons with rooking facilities hi
the home are eligible to participate
in the commodity distribution or
food stamp programs. Surplus com- i
modity foods distributed during the (
year were corn meal, flour, rice,
beans, lard.. dried eggs, ry milk,
r"""iit butter, canred pork. rolled
wheat, cheese and butter. The vat
u. oi ins .ooa distributed is esti
mated to be between seven and
eight dollars per person per month.

have been able to remain in their
own homes in a number of cases
whereas without the service of th<
homemaker, placement in foster
homes or institutions would have
been the only alternative although
far more costly and not as condu
cive to contentment and the feel

services in 1882. During the year
there were increased services for
helping parents with placement of
their handicapped children, helping
patents understand the behavior of
thev emotionally disturbed child
ren, and planning fur the care of
children when parents were-tempor
arily unable to do so because of ill
neat or other difficulties.
The foster homes and child car
ing institutions continued to carr
for children who had to be away
from their families for temporary
periods of time. Emphasis is always
on working with parents during
these periods, so that parents will
agate assume full responsibilities
Though more children were placed
away from parents this year, more
were also returned to them. The
skills of an increasingly better train
ed staff are showing up to good ad
vantage as families are strengthen
ed and reunited. And the more than
1500 teeter families continue to give
warm, patient, understanding care
to these children.
