In another matter relating to the county’s general relief plan, Mrs. Buntin reported that the state had altered the format for the plan, changing the number of pages from eight to 16 and requiring totals for subcomponents in each category. For instance, she explained, it is no longer sufficient to allow $20 for medical aid. Instead, each category under medical aid—from doctor's visits to medical appliances to drugs—must also have a maximum amount allowed.
Mrs. Miko suggested that putting the maximum allowed in the category under each sub-component would allow the greatest flexibility. She emphasized that this wouldn't increase the funds available since the primary controlling factor would continue to be the total allotted in the category. This way, a client who needed a medical appliance but no drugs could use the entire $200 for the appliance rather than being restricted to a smaller sum with money left unspent under the other subcomponents. The Board unanimously agreed to her proposal.
As in all discussions on the general relief program, both Mrs. Bifntin and Mrs. Miko emphasized that general relief was used as a last resort for welfare clients only after all other funding sources were exhausted or as temporary assistance until a client was processed and approved for help under a more permanent program.
