THE PERQUIMANS WESSLT ESRTFOKP. T. C. FRIDAY OCTOBER 24, 1952. 'ACE FIVE f K 'A "Thft program of Aid to the Per manently and Totally Disabled, is " helping an in area of great need and is at the same time conaervting Coun ty funds," said C. Edgar White, su perintendent of the Perquimans coun . ty department of public iwelfare,:in outlining the services available to the .people of the bounty through this de partment ' . . ' , Perqu53ans County has partici pated in the 'Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (AiPTD) pro . gram- since it was begun Jn !North Carolina in March, 1951, and is cur : reritly helping 24 persons A-month in, the county," Mr. White said. "APTD , is one of the three program of public assistance financed from Federal, ; 'State and county funds.'. ? ! "The APTD program provides help for persons who are between 48 and . 65 years of age on Ithe basis of hoth medical certification of incapacity and the determination of need upon Iflie same uniform budget basis as for Old Age Assistance. ; -i "Before the AlFTD Drosram was begun, the county did its best to meet this need out . of Gneral Assistance funds for those who were permanently - and .totally disabled. .These General Assistance funds were "entirely county funds while in the APTD program the county puts in about one dollar out of seven the remaining six dollars are contributions from State and Federal funds. iiw iu program resuitea in a decrease in the General Assistance load supported entirely ' by county funds by 50 per cent' state-wide be tween February, 1951, and July; 1952. It i8 expected that this group will stabilize at about 6,600 beneficiaries over ttie State for the next few years. "Like Old Age' Assistance a per- ; son must be found to be in need to be eligible for APTD. Need is determin ed by balancing all income in cash and in kind against a uniform budget used State-wide. . Only 80 - per cent of the remaining amount needed can be provided through IAPTD aftef all income is taken into account. ' v- "The 24 people tn Perquimans coun ty who arecurrently receiving help from the 'APTD program include some ; who are completely unable to help themselves through being bedridden or otherwise totally and permanently disabled. All have been carefully, de termined t be . do need tmdej the provisions of theiforWhudget.' A medical examination Ss required in each instance. This medical, in formation and'; a summary ; of ' per tinent social factors is reviewed in the office of the State Board of Pub lic Welfare by the State Medical Con- 'sultant and a social worker, since the decision as to permanent and total disability is made in the State of- ,' fice. All cases are reexamined an nually or oftener, both as to continu ing need and as to possible rehabili- ... tation.
