Currently, SSI provides up to $264.70 for one person and $397 for an eligible couple in monthly benefits. “Everyone that qualifies for SSI will not receive that amount,” Shelton said. “Some may get less because they have other income, while some may get more if they live in a state that adds money to the federal payment.” SSI is not the same as Social Security, even though the pro gram is administered by the Social Security Administration.

RALEIGH-The North Carolina Board of Transporta tion allocated the last $10 million funds authorized by the State Highway Bond Act of 1977 for improvements to the state’s large secondary road system here at its February 12th meeting. Cleveland County’s share of the $10 million allocation is $131,362, based on a formula established by the state legislature. According to the for mula, each county receives a percentage of the total funds available, determined by the un paved miles of secondary roads in the county in relationship to the total mileage of unpaved secondary roads in the state. Cleveland County has 250 miles of unpaved roads, while the total mileage of unpaved state maintained secondary roads in North Carolina is 19,000. The $300 million highway bond act, approved in November 1977, directed that $75 million would be used to improve the state’s secondary road system, while $175 million was for im provements to the primary system and $50 million was for the state’s urban road system. Secretary of Transportation W.R. “Bill” Roberson Jr. com mented, “Again, we are glad to be able to put the highway bond funds to work for the citizens of North Carolina. It was the citizens’ overwhelming support of the 1977 bond issue that made these funds a reality. “In addition to the bond funds, the state legislature ap propriates ann annual amount for secondary road im provements from the state highway fund collections. We are expecting an allocation of $40 million from the legislature by July 1, 1982. ‘This allocation would not be possible had it not been for Governor Jim Hunt’s Good Roads’ program passed by the 1981 General Assembly,” added Roberson. ‘The $10 million in bond funds for the secondary road system-our ‘home-to-work’ transportation network-will allow us to make vitally needed improvements to the more than 59,000 miles which comprise the nation‘s largest state-maintained secondary highway system,” ex plained Roberson. The higway bond funds allocated for secondary roads will be used for improvements to the system such as new paving, widening existing paved roads, improving unpaved roadways to an “all weather standard,” repairing and replacing substan dard bridges and strengthening paved roads to relieve present weight restrictions.” “In order to utilize the $10 million allocation most effective ly,” Secretary Roberson explain ed, “Our board members and division engineers are in the pro cess of reviewing secondary road needs in each county. As county- by-county improvement pro grams are compiled, they will be presented to each respective county board of commissioners. “Public meetings will be ehdl in each county to give citizens an opportunity to express their views on secondary road needs. The commissioners then will review and forward recommen dations to the Board of Transportation for implementa tion by state forces,” he said.
