miUioo was mlaspent in the
tirat ball ot 1877 in the nation’s
primarv weliare program. Aid
to Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC), Secretary m
Health, Education and Weliare
Joseph A. Calltano, Jr., re
cently reported.
Ibe program's error rate
increased slightly to 8.6 per
cent irom 6.5 percent in the last
hall 01 1976, when $42.4 million
was misspent. Most oi the
errm^us payments went to
persons wdio were ineligible.
Ibey accounted lor 4.9 percent.
Overpaymenta to eligible per
sons amounted to S.7 percent.
In additioo the $439.7 miUi<Mi
that was misspent, digible
redi^ts were underpaid by
$45.3 millioD. Calitaoo uld.
Calltano noted that the
pavmmit error rate has taUen
trom 16.5 percent in 1973, and
said it would be hard to reduce
the rate that much in the luiure
because “we have now reached
a point where the remaining
problems are mure dltleult to
resolve.”
A reported 11 million per
sons, primarily children, re
ceive aid each month under the
AFDC program, which is
administered by state and local
governments. The persons who
receive the aid include 7.8
million children, 2.9 million
mothers and 376,000 lathers
and other aduK careUkers.
The Fedeal Govemmait pays
55 percent oi the total costs,
which were $5 billion trom
