Counties Troubled By
Rising Welfare Costs
The rising number of public
assistance recipients aiul
increased medical costs under
Medicaid have caused a
financial crisis in some of
North Carolina's 100 counts
departments of social services
The Stale Department of
Social Services, based on
estimates of expenditures from
now through June 30.
announced today in Raleigh
that 28 counts departments of
social services will probably
deplete their appropriated
funds before the fiscal year
ends.
A few counties have already
notified the State Department
of Social Seivices that they
have insufficient funds to pax
? for theii current social services
. cxpendituics and have no othei
county funds available for this
puipose loi the remainder of
the fiscal vear.
Hoke County will be able to
stay within the amount
*appropiuted for this year,
county manager T.B. Lester
said.
"For awhile it looked like
we might not make it." he said,
"but we have enough in the
social services budget to meet
expensixes."
Clifton Nl. Craig. N C.
Commissions of Social
Services, announced in Raleigh
today that if the counties are
unable to supply their share of
non - Federal Iunds required,
the State will have insufficient
Iunds to pav the medical costs
of patients who are already
receiving medical services in
these counties.
The medical services
payment u> be made around
June 10 will be mostly tor
services tendered these patients
in April by nursing homes,
physicians, dentists,
pharmacies and other medical
providers.
Under the present social
set vices system in this State,
the Federal government pays
the largest share of the costs.
The State and counties share
the remainder. State law
requires that counties supply
their share of the funds.
A court case is still pending
against Jones County which
refused to appropriate its
budgetary share for this fiscal
yea i.
The other 27 counties who
are in financial difficulties.31
present appropriated tlreir
estimated share, but the rising
number of public assistance
recipients and medical costs
could not be anticipated.
This is the second time this
year that the rising number or
recipients has created a
financial crisis. Recipients in
the Aid to Families with
Dependent Children program
had to take a cut in payments
in January due to insufficient
funds. The State and the
counties were able to secure
additonal lunds and the cuts
were restored in the February
checks.
While it is estimated that 28
counties will have insufficient
funds, many of the other
county departments of social
services will probably have a
sin plus at the end of the fiscal

Social Security News

What is the retirement age as
lar as Social Security is
concerned? There is some
contusion concerning this
matter. In the past, when I
have spoken to high school
classes -- these students were
supposed to be in the know ?
they were unccrtian as well.
Actually, there is room for
confusion as the retirement age
is anywhere from age 62 up to
age 65.
At the present time, both
men and women may receive
Social Security retirement
benefits as early as age 62.
However, the retiree who
chooses to receive benefits
when he reaches age 62,
received a reduced benefit. The
reduction factor is five - ninths
of one pcrcent for each month
that the individual is under age
65. This means that if a
retirement benefit is received
beginning with the month in
which age 62 is reached, 80
percent of the age 65 payment
is received. As an example, if

Deaths And
Funerals
Roscoe Jackson
Buried June 1

Jackson of Lumber Bridge
were held June I at Ephesus
Baptist Church near Rockfish
by the Revs. T.J. Faulk and
Jake Gurley, with burial ai the

merchant, died Memorial Day.
He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Cora Mae Jackson; four
daughters. Mrs. Ellen Dew of
Fayettevillc, Mrs Carol Hagins
of Decatur Ga., Misses Tondea

Richard E. Smith of
Greensboro and Mrs. Dennis
Koonce of Fayetteville; five
brothers C.E. and Luther Jr.
of Raeford. Janette of Lumber
Bridge, Coy of Red Springs and
Currie Jackson of Fayetleville;
and four grandchildren.
Mrs. Taylor
Buried Sat.
Funeral services for Mrs.
Sallie Kale Taylor were held
last Saturday at First Baptist
Church by the Revs. John
Glenn and Jack Mansfield.
Burial was at the Highland
Biblical Gardens.
Mrs. Taylor, who was 74,
died June 2.
She is survived by four
daughters. Mrs. Daisey Harrell
and Mrs. Minnie Harrell of
Raeford. Mrs. Nellie Evans of
Waynesboro. Mo., and Mrs.
M.O. Sherfey of Pamona,
Calif.; a brother, Alex Fisher of
St. Pauls; 21 grandchildren and
12 great grandchildren.
Mrs. Walters
Buried Sat
Funeral services for Mrs.
Dora Tapp Walters of Rt. 2,
Vass were held Saturday at Mt.
Pleasant Christian Church by
the Rev. Clarence Gunter.
Burial was in the church
cemetery.
Mrs. Walters, who was 76,
died Thursday morr\ing.
She is survived by her
husband, Hinson Walters; one
brother, William H. Tapp of
Raeford and three sisters, Mrs.
Ida T. Wright, Mrs. Mary
Helton and Mrs. Loyd
St inch comb of Black
Mountain.
Mr. and Mrs. Walters were
originally from Raeford.
the age 65 payment were S100
monthly, S80 monthly would
be received at age 62. Bear in
mind that it is not a choice
between retiring at age 62 or
age 65. The retiree may receive
benefits at any time he chooses
between the ages of 62 and 65.
The closer he is to age 65 when
he retires, the larger will be his
benefit payment.
This brings up the question.
"It is to my advantage or not
to retire eaily?" Overall, this is
not an easy question to answer,
as one inust consider the state
of one's health, the availability
of work, how this will affect a
company retirement plan and
so forth. Strictly considering
the amount of money that may
be received from Social
Security, the rule is that
anyone who retires at age 62
will be ahead money ? wise
unless lie were certain he
would live past age 77. I have
used "he" but this rule applies
to both male and female
workers. Another way of
saying this is that if the person
who planned to retire were
certain of living past age 77,
that person would be ahead
money ? wise to wait until age
65 were reached to retire.
Any reader who has a
question about this particular
matter or any other matter
relating to Social. Security,
please call us in Faycttevillc at
