REMARKS: January caseloads showed the impact of the hbnfort strike. The Aid to Families
with Dependent Children caseload increased by 53 households over the December, 1979 count.
Approximately 30 "striker" households qualified for-AFDC benefits under federal regulations
during January. Conversely, the Food Stamp caseload declined slightly as some striker
families who qualified in December did not qualify for January benefits due to return to
employment.
Expenditures (excluding Old Age Pension and Food Stamps) were $622,907. This amount was
$2,315 higher than the previous month and $52,632 higher than the same month in 1979.
Although AFDC expenditures for January were slightly over budget, total expenditures for
all regular programs remained within budget allocation for the month.
