NUMBER FORTY-THREE COUNTY RECEIVES BENEFITS FROM * SOCIAL SECURITY Yancey County residents and communities have be nefited about $84,670.00 through operation of the Social Security program, it is estimated by Charles G. Powell, chairman of the North Carolina Unemploy ment Compensation Com- - mission. Unemployment Compen sation, hr benefits to work ers temporarily out of jobs, is usually the largest item in the ten divisions of the program, in counties with fairly large industri es. In the two years of be nefit payments, 1988 and 1939, the distribution was $13,305.91, included in 1,895 checks to county resi dents. - Old Age Assistance, help for the needy passed 65 years of age, in Yancey co unty in the 31 months of distribution amounted to $40,579.00. The , January amount was $1,675.50, going to 216 needy aged persons, an average of $7.76 each, as compared with the State average of $9.72 for the month. Aid to Dependent Child ren, help in the support of children deprived oJ their natural breadwinners, amounted to $14,719.00 in the same 31 months. The January amount was $556, such children, an average of $4.48 each, as compared with the state average of $6.18 for the month. Aid to the blind in Yan cey county was $1,944.00 for the same 31 months. In January $76.00 went to six blind persons, average $12.66 each; state average, $14.90. In Old Age Assistance and Aid to the Blind, the funds are provided one half by the Federal Gov ernment and one-fourth each by the State and co unty. In Aid to Dependent Children funds have been furnished one-third each by Federal, State aftd Co unty Governments. Now the Federal Government will furnish one-half, as in cases of the needy aged and the blind. With an estimate of Old ■. Age and survivor’s insur ance going to 37 workers or their families through October, and practically accurate figures in the other four divisions, it is apparent that just about $71,888.00 has been distri buted in Yancey county in these five major divisions. In the other five divisions, classed as “services,” a proration indicates that about $12,780.00 has been distributed in this county since the program started, divided approximately as follows: Maternal and Child Health services, $2,- SB0.00; Services for Crip pled Children, $1,900.00; Child Welfare services, sl,- 525.00; Vocational Rehabi- ' | .
