REMARKS: November's public assistance caseloads reflected a slight decrease in load as
compared with October. The comparison with the prior year (1977) also shows a slight
decrease. Minor changes in caseload between months are usually not significant indicators
of a trend. However, as the year-to-year comparison indicates, the county continues to
experience stable public assistance caseloads.
Staff are preparing for the Food Stamp program revision that will eliminate the need for
public assistance and low-income families to "purchase" or pay a portion of the cost of
their Food Stamp allotment. This change will become effective January 1, 1979.
Expenditures for November (excluding Old Age Pension) were $549,292. This amount was
$2,940 more than the previous month and $43,388 higher than the same month in 1977. After
eleven months, the Department remains within budget with 88.2% of total budget expended.
