Indiana's Old-Age Plan Called Best In Nation

By Frank A. White To bring into focus Indiana's $45 million dollar a year state-wide welfare program this columnist interviewed its administrator, Albert Kelly, a native of Michigan who came to Indiana 23 years ago as financial secretary of the Salvation Army for the state. He was 4% years welfare director of Howard county, before being appointed to his present big job by the Handley administration. Kelly has impressed me as one of the better and more able of the appointments by Gov. Harold W. Handley. Indiana is no longer a predominately farm state and most persons live in apartments or small homes. Our senior citizens do not have farm chores as in the past. Better medical practices in saving babies and the biotic drugs have contributed to a growing population of senior citizens. The state welfare program is big, involving some 28,000 recipients of assistance. It includes such things as old age assistance, aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind and eye treatment for the near blind. Meshed into the state department of public welfare are county welfare directors in each of the 92 counties. Each county has a welfare office and in the populous centers there are area offices. FEDERAL MONEY USED Os the $45 million dollar state and county welfare program in Indiana, the Federal government bears some S2O million dollars a year in matching dollars. Old age assistance is the biggest of the many programs in the welfare setup. It involves assistance to some 12,600 senior citizens. The average age of those on the old age rolls is 78 Vfe years. Maximum amount that one on the Old Age Assistance roll can receive is S7O per month. In addition, there is unlimited money for medical care for the recipients of old age assistance. Medical and drug costs are in excess of $6 million dollars a year. Many believe that Indiana’s medical program for the aged is the best in the nation. The individual is allowed his choice of a physician. Almost all doctors in the state work with the welfare directors and board. Each welfare director and board works out arrangements with the members of the local medical society. There are definite schedules of fees and costs in each county and they vary from county to county. Some 8.000 of the aged are in nursing homes. These homes must conform to rigid standards of approval by the welfare department. State fire marshall and board of health. AGED LOAD DECREASES Contrary to popular belief In-

diana's old age assistance load decreases. In some instance the aged get Social Security and the private pension plan is growing thruout the state and nation. Relatives are able to help more when employment is good. Aged recipients cf assistance are dropping off about 125 a month, from death and from finding other resources. The State Department of Public Welfare is girding to bring down cost of drugs. The drug bill has rocketed from $260,000 per year to $910,000 per year in the past 10 years. Recipients are older and more drugs are used but the bill is still too high. Administrator Kelly said: “It is my belief that the number of old age recipients in Indiana will continue to decrease to a level of
