WILLIAM T. CONDON, Inspector of Animals and Stables
Report of Supervisor of Old Age Assistance
There is at present 320 recipients of the Old Age As- sistance in the Town of Rockland. The majority are liv- ing in their own homes, with some six or seven in Rest Homes.
When an applicant applies for Assistance they should have with them their birth record, all marriage records, proof of citizenship, proof of 5 years residence in Massachusetts out of the last nine years, and all insur- ance policies. An applicant may have $300 in the Bank, and an equity of $3000 in property, on which they must reside. If they own property in excess of $3000, a bond may be given to the Town for the difference on which no interest has to be paid.
The State Bureau of Old Age Assistance recently changed their set up, and where we were under the Bos- ton district, we now are under the jurisdiction of Brock- ton, with weekly visits from Supervisors, so that cases will be handled more quickly and once accepted will be final, unless the financial situation of the recipient chan- ges.
23.5
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
Many cases have to be disallowed because of the earn- ings of children, who should contribute to the support of parents, and we were advised by recent State and Fed- eral auditors, that if children refuse this responsibility, the case should be taken into court.
It must be remembered by applicants whose cases have been denied, that while the local Board may be disposed in their favor, if rejected by the State, there is nothing we can do until the present status is changed.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Pub- lic Welfare for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY L. O'BRIEN
