ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
On January 1, 1946, there were 46 cases on Old Age Assist- ance. During the year 9 recipients died, 1 moved out of town, 3 sold their property, and 3 cases were closed for reasons that
62
236
202
would make them ineligible to receive further payments from old age assistance. There were 10 new cases added and at the close of the year there were 40 cases on the books.
Two families received Aid to Dependent Children.
The situation in regard to General Relief has changed since January 1, 1946. We had anticipated spending less for this category of assistance. However, due to the fact that we have cases out of town, which are Medfield acknowledged cases and which were not eligible for either old age assistance or aid to dependent children, we were required to ask for $1500 addi- tional in September besides the $1000 that we received at the annual town meeting in March. This made a total of $2500 and we still owe $440.00 to another town for aid rendered a Med- field case. We have also had additional cases in Medfield both with Medfield settlements and out-of-town settlements.
We wish to express our appreciation to the splendid co- operation that our Board has received from each of the several Town departments and Boards. Also the two district nurses. Likewise from the physicians of Medfield and the surrounding towns, from the Clement Drug Co., and the four nursing homes with whom we do business. At the present time we have 12 recipients of old age assistance and 1 recipient of general relief in nursing homes.
During the year we were instructed twice by the State Department of Public Welfare to increase the grants to all categories of assistance, in view of the rising costs of living.
All budgets, which determine the needs of each individual case meet both the State and Federal requirements. All de- cisions made by the Board have been accepted by the Field Director of the District office of the Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare. We have reviewed all our cases twice this year and all the cases are revisited periodically by members of the Board.
The requirements for making out an Application for Old Age Assistance include papers proving date of birth, citizen- ship, residence, copy of record if married. The investigation includes bank accounts, insurance policies, relative's reports, records relating to real estate now owned or sold or transferred during the previous five years, social security number, if any, and monthly payments from same, and information regarding Old Age or Survivors' Insurance, or any type of pension appli- cant may receive.
