Food Stamp Changes Due
Changes in the food stamp program
effective July I, will broaden the
program to include many formerly
ineligible Hoke County families and will
increase the monthly allotment for most
families already participating in the
program, reports Ben Niblock,
Department of Social Services director.
Under the new standards a family of
4 with an adjusted net income as high as
$500 will be eligible to participate in
the food stamp program as compared
with $473 adjusted net income limit at
present.
Adjusted net income is based on gross
income minus various deductions and
exclusions. Some of these are
employment and training allowance,
most medical expenses, shelter, court
ordered support or alimony payments
and disaster and casually losses. Also
mandatory deductions such as social
security income taxes are deducted to
arrive at adjusted net income.
In figuring the adjusted net income
medical expenses are deductable if they

If You Think H Is Time For A Change

Mrs. Kermit (Mabel) Riley
You the people of Hoke County showed by your vote in the May 7 Primary
that you did think it was "time for a change".
I need your vote in the | une 4 Runoff Primary to be able to help bring about
this change.
I am not committed to any one group but I feel I AM COMMITTED to all
the people of Hoke County regardless of race, sex, or creed.
We need closer communication and unity between the people and local
government. "United we stand - Divided we fall."
The only record I have to offer is the way I have lived and believed all my
life.
I pledge to ALL the people of Hoke County to serve you to the best of my
ability and I stand ready to listen to you.

are incurred regularly and are more than
$10 per month. All shelter and utilities
costs in excess of 30 percent of net
monthly income are also deductable. "If
a family of four with a net income of
$500 has shelter and utility expenses
amounting to $195, the resulting $45
deduction would make the adjusted net
income $460, and reduce the cost of
$150 worth of food stamps from $126
to $122," comments Niblock.
The same family with an adjusted net
income of $300 would purchase the
same amount of stamps for $83. A $250
adjusted net income would reduce the
cost to $71 and a $30 adjusted net
income would permit the family lo
receive the stamps free.
