Sir: I have the honor to transmit an analysis of public welfare
legislation•in the 48 States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of
Columbia as of January 1, 1939. This analysis brings together
in one volume, for the first time, current information on the
State legislative am constitutional provisions governing public
welfare. The emphasis in this report is placed upon the laws
providing for relief and public assistance, but appendix material
is included to indicate the scope of public welfare legislation
in each State.
Effective coordination of the Works Progress Administration
with State and local relief programs has required complete information on the provisions for relief and public assistance in
the States. State and local relief agencies have been called
upon to assume important duties in relation to the Works Program,
the most important of which has been to certify the need and
employability of persons seeking employment on work projects.
State welfare provisions have also had a very important bearing
upon the policy of the Works Progress Administration in connection with assistance to special groups like 'the aged and persons
with dependent children. In order to determine whether individuals on projects are eligible for such special types of care,
it bas been necessary to digest and analyze the provisions made
for them in State laws.
The analysis has spotlighted the great diversity among States
in the t inancial provisions for the administration of relief
and in the availability of funds for sponsors' contributions for
WPA projects.
Prior to 1931 the majority of States relied principally upon
the old poor laws to assist persons in need of relief. Less
than one-half of the States had enacted blind pension laws, and
only about one-fourth had provided for old age pensions. With
the exception of laws providing for veterans' pensions and State
institutions for veterans and children, the statutes effective
before 1931 for the most part placed the administrative and financial responsibility upon local uni ts of government. The principle of supplying employment instead of relief had not yet been

accepted even though many of the poor laws required able-bodied
recipients to work in return for aid.
The first State emergency relief administrations were established in 1931, and by 1933 the majority of States had established such administrations and had appropriated funds for relief
of the unemployed. Many of the States took such action in
response to the Federal F.rnergency Relief Act of 1933.
In 1933 States began to adopt categorical relief programs with
increasing rapidity; this movement was greatly accelerated by
the adoption of the Federal Social Security Act in 1935,
With the passage of the Social Security Act there began a
definite trend toward the assumption by the States of both administrative and financial responsibility for permanent general
relief and public assistance programs. The majority of States
participate in all these programs at the present time, although
fewer States assume responsibility for general relief than for
categorical assistance.
Recognition of the necessity of coordinating measures designed
to assist persons in need has caused a trend toward the integration of State relief and public assistance programs. By
January 1, 1939, approximately one-third of the States had placed
the administrative responsibility for all of their public welfare
functions within a single agency, and most of the other States
had accomplished some degree of integration.
The study was made in the Di vis ion of Research under the direct ion of Howard B. Myers, Director of Research. It was prepared by Robert C. Lowe under the supervision of A. Ross Eckler,
Assistant Director. Tabular and other appendix materials were
prepared by L. T. Bennett, Jr., Frances Engeman, William H.
Garner, John A. Hanley, Alfred Noyes, and Mary P. Ragatz under
the supervision of Mr. Lowe. Gertrude Bancroft and Theodore
Savage assisted in the editing of this report.
Special acknowledgment is due the members of the staff of the
Bureau of Public Ass is tance of the Social Security Board and
Robert T. Lansdale, Professor of Public Welfare, New York School
of Social Work, for their helpful suggestions.
Respectfully submitted.

INTRODUCTION
THIS STIJD-Y of State public welfare legislation in the United
States presents in tabular and digest form the basic laws which
provide the foundation for public welfare prograns of the States,
Territories, and the District of Columbia, with particular emphasis on those statutes which provide for aid and relief to
dependent persons. It also analyzes some of the major trends
in relief and public assistance legislat ionoccurring'since 1930.
The study, current as of January 1_, 1939, is b~ed on an intensive analysis of constitutional provisions, statutes, opinions
of attorneys general, and the case law of the several States and
Territories. The operation of laws, of course, depends to some
extent upon amplifications and interpretations by administrative
rules and regulations, opinions of attorneys general, and court
decisions, and to a grea.ter extent upon the individuals responsible for their administration. Administrative rules and regu-;
lations have not been included, but correspondence has been
carried on with attorneys general and various other State officials to secure interpretations and to clarify the laws of
individualStateswhere conflicts and ambiguities have appeared.
Details of the laws providing for the relief of dependencyi.e., general relief, old age assistance, aid to dependent children in their own homes, blind assistance, care of dependent
and neglected children by agencies and ins ti tut ions, and veteran
relief-are presented in a series of tables. !The term reltef

bodies and executives of the more important State and local
agencies concerned with the administration of these programs are
also presented. 2
The headings on the tables are for the most part self-explanatory. In some cases the actual legal prov is.ion has been summarized and used as a caption. An attempt has been made to
follow the same pattern in each series of tables. In general
they indicate the following points: the nature of the law(mandatory or optional), location and type of administrative
responsibility, qualifications and limitations imposed upon applicants and recipients, type and amount of aid, and financial
responsibility.
The complete public welfare program in each State has been
summarized in an appendix which also includes charts of the
statutory and constitutional public welfare organization for
each State. The functions, which in this study are uniformly
considered to be, of a public welfare nature, are those providing for dependent, handicapped, defective, and delinquent
persons.
The prov is ions for the relief of dependency are:
general relief, old age assistance, aid to dependent children
in their own homes, blind assistance, care of dependent and
neglected children by agencies and institutions, and veteran
relief. Functions performed for the welfare of handicapped and
defective persons are: the care and treatment of the insane,
the feeble-minded, and the epileptics; and services to the blind.
individuals also contain provision tor supplementary services to prevent
blindness or to remove the disability.
Questions may be raised as to the desirability ot including the care or
dependent and neglected children in roster homes and institutions as well
as aid to dependent children 1n their own homes among reliet and public assistance !unctions. Despite the tact that important !actors other than
need are involved 1n caring tor dependent and neglected ch1ldren, tn1s
!unction has been included tor the tollowing reasons: many children are
placed in roster homes and 1nst1 tut ions because they are in need and e.1pendi tures tor their care are made trom public tunds; moreover, several or
the State s ta tu tes do not d1s tingu 1sh be tween the types or care granted
children, and make provision tor money payments to roster homes and 1nst1tut1ons caring tor children 1n the same manner as tor children who are cared
tor by relatives 1n their own homea; 1n add1t1on, powers and duties relative
to roster home and inst1tut1onal care or children are vested in several or
the State agencies es tabllshed to administer or supervise relier and public
assistance, e.1c1us1ve or other public weltare runct1ons.
Questions also may be raised as to the desirability or including statutes
wn icb provide ror the care or veterans w1 thou t prescribing need.

care. AU or the st.atutes providing tor direct rel1e! to veterans prescribe

three groups bas necessitated the inclusion or those statutes which do not

Provisions for delinquents include: care, confinement, and reformation of juvenile and adult delinquents; and the administration of parole and probation. Among the borderline functions,

Section I
DEVELOPMENT OF .PUBLIC WELFARE IN THE
UNITED STATES
THE PRINCIPLE of public responsibility for the dependent classes
was recognized by the English poor laws. The English system of
poor relief dates back to the fourteenth century, but it was not
until the Poor Relief Act of 1601 that a unified srstem was established. This act which was incorporated into colonial statutes formed the basis for colonial poor relief systems.
The early colonial laws provided only custody for dependent,
defective, and delinquent persons who received practically the
same treatment. Prior to 1700 the boarding of paupers with local
citizens was an established practice, since neither cash relief
nor almshouse care was common. Jails housed delinquents of all
ages. The insane, if homeless and indigent, received care as
paupers, perhaps by the lowest bidder willing to assume charge
of such persons; if the insane were considered to be dangerous
to the community they were thrown into jail; if they were not
paupers and were not destructive they were given no care.
In the New England colonies responsibility for poor relief
devolved upon the towns. The Southern colonies adopted the
county as the administrative unit. In the Middle colonies a
combination of the two systems existed with responsibility in
some instances placed upon counties and in other instances upon
towns, townships, and other local governmental units. In Virginia
and Maryland the care of indigents and the insane rested with the
vestries of the established church until the Revolutionary War
dissolved the relation of church and State. At this time county
boards of overseers of the poor were created to assume the function of the church in the administration of relief. The colonial
systems were carried over unchanged by the State governments
after the revolution.
Specialized care of the dependent, defective, and delinquent
groups developed slowly during the eighteenth century and the

early part of the nineteenth century. It was not until the
latter half of the nineteenth century that the need for differeatiation in types of care given each group and for classification within the defective and delinquent groups began to be
recognized. Classification of dependent persons, however, did
not take place to any great extent until after 1900.
Specialized treatment first took the form of institutional
care of insane and delinquent persons. The first attempt at
institutional care of the insane
a specialized class was in
1752 in connection with the Pennsylvania Hospital at Philadelphia.
The first State institution in the United States devoted exclusively to the care of the insane was opened at Williamsburg,
Virginia, in 1773. A few other State institutions were opened
early in the nineteenth century, and in 1843 the Utica State
Hospital in New York, soon to become a model for other such
institutions, was established. In the meantime a few sectarian,
private, and semiprivate institutions for the insane had been
established, some of which were later taken over by the State
or were opened to public patients at State, county, or local
expense.
The earliest institutions for the care of criminals and misdemeanants were local jails. The first significant change in
our prison system came in 1790 when Pennsylvania inaugurated
the classification of prisoners according to the offense conmitted. Later the Auburn State Prison in New York State, established
in 1816, became a model prison for other States. New York established a parole system in 1876, and Massachusetts passed the
first State probation law in 1878.
The first State institution for delinquent children was provided in Massachusetts in 1854. The first juvenile court was
created in Illinois in 1899.
Special institutions, both custodial and educational, for the
feeble-minded and the epileptic were established in New York,
Massachusetts, and Ohio before 1900. Workshops for the adult
blind and special hospitals for the crippled were also established in a few States before the turn of the century.
With the establishment of State institutions, there developed
a need for a centralized State agency for the controlor supervi-sion of institutional care. Massachusetts created the first
State board of charities in 1863. New York and Ohio established
such boards in 1867, and other State boards of welfare, with
varying scopes of activities, were later established in practically all of the States.
Since 1900 there has been much improvement in provisions for
all groups requiring institutional care. With institutional
control largely centralized in most States, emphasis has shifted
from custody to care and treatment. The main objectives of
institutions for delinquents and defectives are now education,

reformation, rehabilitation, and restoration to useful citizenship.
Until relatively recently the only legislation in this country
for the public care of needy individuals other than children
and war veterans was contained in the State poor laws, which
had undergone little change since colonial days. From the early
part of the eighteenth century until the latter part of the
nineteenth century, almshouse care was considered to be the best
method of providing for the poor. Outdoor care under the poor
laws was not provided for to any extent prior to the last third
of the nineteenth century. Poor relief recipients were usually
designated "paupers" and, in certain States, were deprived of
some of the privileges of citizenship. Frequently, these statutes
required "paupers' oaths" and excluded from military duty those
requiring public aid. The posting of the names of such individuals in a public place was common. Many States disfranchised
recipients of this relief, ~d a few refused them the right to
marry.
Eventually with increased acceptance of social responsibilities, State legislatures recognized that there were certain
classes of needy individuals who were entitled to public assistance without being subjected to the pauperizing aspects of the
poor la~. This recognition resulted in special legislation
providing for such types of needy individuals as dependent and
neglected children and orphans, mothers with dependent children,
the blind, and the aged.
Private institutions for the care of dependent and neglected
children and orphans were first established late in the eighteenth
century, but laws providing public care for these children by
agencies and institutions were enacted mainly during the last
third of the nineteenth century. Aid to dependent children in
their own homes was a still later development. The first statute
providing aid to dependent children in their own homes was not
enacted until 1911, 1 but the adoption of this type of legislation
was rapid, and by 1920 the majority of States had passed such
statutes which were known as ''mothers I aid" or "widows I pension"
laws. There has been considerable revision in this legislation,
however, since the enactment of the Federal Social Security Act
in 1935.
The first blind assistance law was enacted in Indiana in 1840,
but the development of legislation in this field was not rapid
until after 1910. 2 The greatest development occurred with in
the 5-year period from 1933 through 1937.
1tussour1 and Ill1no1s were the rirst States to enact th1s type or le;;1slat1on. The !11ssour1 statute applied only to St. Louis C1tY and Jacltson
County. The Ill1no1s statute was the t1rst State-wide law.
2The Indiana statute was a county optional law. Toe next State law proV1d1ng blind assistance was passed 1n 0h1o 1n 1898; however, such a statute
was enacted tor New York C1 ty 1n 1872.

Old age assistance has developed still more recently. The
first State law was passed in Arizona in 1914 but was declared
unconstitutional and it was not until 1923 that the next State
statute was enacted. 3 There has been a tremendous increase in
this type of legislation within the last 5 years, particularly
since 1935 when Federal legislati'0n providing for grants to
States for assistance to the aged was adopted.
Special provisions for relief to war veterans have been included in State statutes since colonial days. The end of each
war has brought forth additional statutes providing aid to needy
individuals with honorable records of military service. In a
number of States the poor laws contained separate provisions for
the care of veterans which removed them from the pauperizing
effect of the statutes.
In spite of these special types of legislation, probably the
majority of needy persons who received public assistance were
still provided for under the old poor laws until 1931. The
diminishing importance of the old poor relief statutes has been
one of the most important developments in the field of relief
and public assistance within the last 7 or 8 years. By 1931
it had become evident that the provi_l?ionsof the poor laws were
not adequate to care for the rapidly mounting burden of unemployment resulting from the serious depression which had begun in
1929; and it was in 1931 that the first State legislation providing for emergency unemployment relief was enacted. 4 This
legislation was adopted to supplement the existing relief prov1s1ons. In some States the emergency program was integrated
with existing outdoor relief systems and in others separate
programs were established. By 1933 nearly three-fourths of the
States had enacted legislation to provide emergency unemployment
relief.
In the latter part of 1932 the Federal Government beg an to
loan funds to State and local governmental uni ts for the relief
of the unemployed. In May 1933 the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration was authorized to allocate funds to the States
for emergency unemployment relief purposes. This factor was
largely responsible for the enactment of much of the State emergency relief legislation. The basic reason for both the Federal
and State activity, of course, was the widespread economic reverses which had been caused by the depression. Federal Emergency Relief Administration grants to the States for emergency
unemployment relief purposes were discontinued in December 1935,
when the Works Program, provided for in the Federal Fmergency
3Hon·tana, Nevada, and Pennsylvania enacted old age assistance l&'lfs In
1923. The Nevada la'lf '!fas repealed the same :,ear and the Pennql Yanla statute

DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE IN THE UNITED STATES• 5
Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, was furnishing employment to
the bulk of the needy employable load.
From its inception in 1931, emergency unemployment relief
tended to overshadow poor relief in the general relief field.
During the years from 1931 to 1934 the bulk of the general relief
load (i.e., needy persons who were not receiving old age assistance, blind assistance, aid to dependent children, and other
special types of relief or assistance I was being assisted largely
on an emergency basis. The need for a longer range program
became recognized in 1935 when a transition began in the field
of general relief which led to the superseding of both the emergency unemployment relief and poor relief systems in many States
by permanent programs of general relief in which the States
participate both financially and administratively. There has
been a small decline since 1935 in the number of States which
participate in general relief programs. This has been due to
the expiration of emergency relief legislation in a few States
which have not replaced it by permanent general relief legislation.5
Prior to 1933 the responsibility for the administration and
financing of relief and public assistance was most frequently
placed upon local uni ts of government, although a majority of
States had assumed responsibility for State institutions for
children and veterans. In instances where the State participated
in the administration of two or more programs, the tendency was
to set up separate agencies to carry out the different functions.
This same tendency also existed in local governmental units.
By 1935 the prevailing practice had changed and from that year
until the present the majority of laws which have been enacted
in the relief and public assistance fields- have provided for
State responsibility and for the direct administration or supervision of all of these functions by a single State agency.
This bas been largely due to the enactment of the Federal Social Security Act which requires State administrative participation before the Federal Government may reimburse States for
expenditures for old age and blind assistance, and aid to dependent children.
By January l, 1939, very few States did not have legislation
providing for all types of relief and assistance. Delaware has
made no provision for blind assistance or for the special care

Section II
ELIGIBILITY PROVISIONS AND TYPES OF CARE
GRANTED RECIPIENTS OF RELIEF AND PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE
ALL OF the State statutes providing for relief and public assistance define the class of persons eligible and the types of
care which may be granted. The more recent enactments are much
ac,re general in their terminology than were the earlier statutes
and allowconsiderab!y more administrative discretion in determining who shall receive relief and public assistance and in
deciding the kind and amount of such aid.
GENERAL RELIEF
The general relief laws ( tables 1-5 l as they appear on the
statute books of many States at the- present time are an admixture
of the old poor relief statutes and the recent laws drafted in
the light of modern concepts; accordingly their interpretation
raises 11&.ny problems. The class of persons cared for under these
statutes cannot be accurately defined. They consist of that
residual group of needy persoas who are either not eligible for
special forms of State relief andpublic assistance or for Federal Yorks Program emplo,ment, or who because of lack of funds
or soae other reason cannot be cared for under these special
programs. 1
Eligibility requirements consist mainly of need and residence
(table 2), The terms poor, MBd/J, and tndttent appearfrequent!y,
but none of the statutes contain an exact definition of Med.
Nearly two-thirds of the States have some provision relating to
the liability of relatives to support applicants for general relief (table 31, In some of these States no relief may be given
if the applicant has a legally responsible relative able to support him, and in a few others relief may be granted and reimburseaen t obtained from such relatives byvoluntary or court action..

State and local residence requirements are prescribed in nearly
one-half of the States, while over an additional one-third of
the State statutes specify periods of local residence only.
Residence in the State satisfies the requirement in Delaware
and Minnesota, and in five States there is no residence requirement prescribed by statute. State residence requirements range
from 1 to 3 years, and in those States which prescribe both
State and local residence the State residence period required
is usually longer than the local period. This has the effect
of restricting the entrance into the State of persons who are
not self-supporting and of allowing some freedom for intrastate
movement. Local residence periods range from 90 days to 5 years.
In the New England States and New York the State assumes responsibility for "state poor"; i.e.,persons for whom no governmental unit is responsible because they fail to meet local
residence requirements. Indians on reservations also come within
this class in New York. It is interesting that in more than
three-fourths of the State laws some provision is made for the
temporary relief of nonresidents (table 51.
The old poor relief statutes have not been repealed in many
States but have been supplemented and broadened by the recent
laws providing for general relief. Under the recent laws, relief
is given to needy persons in their own homes by means of money
payments rather than by placing them in almshouses or contracting
for their care (table 51. There are, however, a few State laws
which still specify only almshouse care, contract care, or some
other method for the relief of the poor. Because of the current
tendency to replace alr.1shouse care with public assistance and
direct relief in some States, it is probable that most of these
institutions will eventually either fall into disuse or be converted into infirmaries. The letting out of the poor and contracting for their support are still provided for in approximately
one-third of the States. The extent to which this practice is
currently being followed is not known, but it has undoubtedly
diminished greatly within the last 5 or 6 years. Public medical
care and hospitalization are provided for indigent persous in
nearly all of the States. These provisions are, for the most
part, contained in the poor relief statutes; however, in a few
of the States special provisions for the hospitalization of the
indigent sick have been recently enacted while in others the
general relief statutes though not specifically authorizing
medical care and hospitalization are so worded as to appear to
allow the granting of this type of aid. 2 The majority of State
statutes provide for the burial of person, leaving insufficient
resources for burial.
2ttany States have J11ade provisions tor the care or poor persons ln State
hospitals Which are rrequentlY connected "1th the medical schools or State
universities. These provisions do not appear ln the general reuer statutes.

Many of the early statutes granting poor relief deprived recipients. of such citizenship right·s as the exercise of franchise
and the right to marry and excluded them from military duty

do ·not assume the same importance today a:s they did prior to
1931, except in a few States, since many of them are directed
at paupers and most of the recent State laws do not specify
general relief recipients as "paupers." The provisions of this
type which remain on the statute books of the States have been
included intable4 but are probably ine!!ectiveinmany States.
OLD ASE ASSISTANCE
Old age assistance statutes (tables 6-111 provide for cash
payments to needy individualswhohave reached a specified age,
usually 65 years. A few States have established an age limit
of 70, while Colorado has lowered its limit to 60 but grants
aid to persons under 65 only if they are registered voters and
have resided in the State for 35 years preceding the application.
Citizenship, residence, and need are the most frequent qualifications to be met before an aged person becomes eligible for
this assistance (tables 7 and 81. A few State laws contain requirements relating to the moral fitness of an applicant. Nearly
two-thirds of the old age assistance statutes require that a
recipient be a citizen of the United States, but a few of these
State laws waive the citizenship requirement if the applicant
has resided in the country for a specified period-usually ro
or 25 years. The reside•nce requirement enacted in all but a
few States- is that the applicant must have resided within the
State 5 of the 9 years imediately preceding his application
and 1 year immediately preceding the application. The provision
in the Federal Social Security Act which prevents the Social
Security Board from approving a State plan which excludes persons
who can fulfill this requirement from receiving benefits is
responsible for the large number of States which have adopted
this State residence requirement.
Residence within a local governmental unit is required by law
in a small number of States, some of which prescribe that the
total financial burden must be assumed by the State if the applicant has no local residence. Such provision is enacted only
for the purpose of placing the financial responsibility when
the local units contribute to the payment of assistance. A
State which en!orces local residence requirements so as to bar
applicants not meeting such requirements is ineligible for Federal assistance to the aged under the Social Security Act.
The majority of the State old age assistance statutes define
need in general rather than specific terms, leaving to administrative determination the actual need of an individual applicant

applicant must not have sufficient property or income to provide reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health.
Approximately one-third of the States have retained or adopted
the limitations found frequently in the earlier statutes which
defined need by placing limits upon the maximum amount of property and the maximum income a recipient could have and still
be eligible. All but one State (Oregon) disqualify applicants
who have disposed of property in order to qualify. In some
jurisdictions the property must have been disposed of within a
specified period (from 2 to 5 years I prior to the filing of the
application. 3
Applicants who have relatives legally liable and able tosupport them are ineligible for old age assistance in about onehalf of the States. Many laws disqualify applicants who are
receiving other types of public assistance or who are inmates
of ins ti tut ions. Because of the provision in the Federal act
which forbids payments to States for grants to inmates of public
institutions, such inmates are disqualified more frequently than
those of private institutions. Some statutes disqualify only

inmates of penal institutions, reformatories, or insane asylums
(table 7). The provision that an applicant in need of continuing
institutional care is ineligible for old age assistance if such
care is reasonably available appears frequently (table 91.
Provisions disqualifying applicants because of lack of moral
fitness are contained in the laws of a few States (table 7l.
These provisions are ba:sed on the theory that old age assistance
is granted for service the recipient has rendered the community
by being a good citizen. The desertion of one's spouse or the
commission of a felony within a specified period prior to application and the failure to support chil.dren <usually under 16
years of agel are among the most common acts which disqualify
applicants for old age assistance. The laws of a few States
also make an applicant ineligible for old age assistance if he
has been a tramp or beggar within a period of l or 2 years prior
to his application.
The maximum amount which an applicant may receive is specified
in m~t States, with a few States also specifying minimum allowances (table 11>. Also, a number of States have attempted to
determine the standard of the grant by establishing an income
which recipients of old age assistance are entitled to receive
from all sources combined. These statutes provide that the
grant shall be an amount which when added to the recipient's
income from other sources will equal the established figure.
The amount of the maximum grants allowed by law ranges from
Sl5 to $45 a month for an individual, with the majority of States
adopting the $30 maximum. This maximum has probably been adopted
because of the Federal Social Security Act which provides for
matching State grants to individuals in an amount not exceeding
$15 a mon.th. The majority of statutes provide for burial allowances (ranging from $75 to $1501 if the estate of the deceased
is insufficient to cover burial expenses.
BLIND ASSISTANCE
Blind assistance statutes (tables 12-171 provide for cash
payments to needy blind individuals. The more important qualifications for the receipt of this assistance are: age, citizenship, degree and incurability of blindness, and need (tables 13
and 141. The majority of States have specified a minimum age
I ranging fran 16 to 21 years I under which a person is ineligible
for blind assistance. Since other provisions have been made
for the education and training of young persons it has been considered that money payments should not be made to blind minors
before they have had the opportunity through specialized training and education to become self-supporting. Two State laws
render ineligible persons over 65 years old, with the intention
of granting such persons old age assistance.
DaltzedbyGoogle
12 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
Citizenship in the United States is much less frequently a
requirement for blind assistance than for old age assistance.
Only one-fourth of the States demand citizenship as a prerequisite for aid to the blind, whereas approximately three-fourths
require it for old age assistance.
A statutory period of State residence, however, is specified
for blind assistance in all the States with the exception of
New Mexico and Massachusetts, while local residence requirements
exist in only a few States. The most frequent State residence
requirement is that also found in old age assistance laws, namely:
that the applicant must have resided in the State 5 of the 9
years immediately preceding the application and for at least 1
year immediately preceding the application. Many of the States
have alternative provisions which waive the residence requirement if a person has become blind while a resident of the State.
In other States periods of residence range from l year to 10
years immediately preceding the application. In some States in
which the local units contribute to the payment of blind assistance a local residence requirement is prescribed for the purpose
of determining financial liability. In these States if an applicant has no local residence, the State pays the total amount
of assistance. As in the case of old age assistance laws, States
whose statutes prescribe a local residence and deny aid if that
requirement is not met are ineligible for Federal aid under the
Social Security Act.
Blindness is usually defined in general terms which state that
vision with correcting glasses must be so defective as to prevent the performance of ordinary activities for which eyesight
is essential, leaving to administrative determination the technical degree of blindness necessary for eligibility of the applicant. However, a few States define blindness in technical
optometric terms. In approximately one-fourth of the States
the administering officials may require as a condition to receiving blind assistance that an applicant undergo treatment or
an operation if there is a possibility of restoring his sight.
A blind person unable to support himself or having insufficient income or resources to provide reasonable subsistence
compatible with decency and health is eligible for blind assistance in three-fourths of the States, provided he meets the additional requirements specified by law. Applicants for blind
assistance are denied aid in approximately one-half of the States
if there are persons legally liable and able to support them.
Three States have no statutory need qualifications, and the remaining States place a specific limitation on the amount of
property and income which an individual may have without becoming ineligible for blind assistance. The limitations on
property range from $2,500 to $5,000, and the limit placed upon
income (including assistance l ranges from $360 to $1,200 a year.

ELIGIBILITY PROVISIONS AND TYPES OF CARE GRANTED• 13
A provision disqualifying applicants who have disposed ofpropertf in order to qualify is contained in the majority of blind
assistance statutes. As in old age assistance statutes this
provision usually specifies that the property must have been
disposed of within periods ranging from 2 to 5 years prior to
the application .
Blind assistance recipients are disqualified from receiving
any other type of public assistance in approximately one-third
of the States, and in an additional one-half of the States they
are specifically disqualified from receiving old age assistance
(table 151.
Inmates of institutions are frequently barred from the receipt
of blind assistance. A provision disqualifying applicants who
are in need of continuing institutional care is found in several
of the statutes. The solicitation of alms also disqualifies
recipients in about one-half of the States.
The maximum amount which an applicant may receive is specified
in most States, with a few States also specifying minimum allowances (table 171. The maximum which may be granted ranges from
$15 to $50 a month. The majority of States have adopted a maximum of S30 a month. As in the case of old age assistance, the
Federal Social Security Act provides for matching State grants
to blind assistance recipients in an amount not to exceed $15
a month. Additional assistance or supplementary services for
the purpose of removing a disability may be given in many
States. In several of these States supplementary services may
be granted to blind individuals who would not be otherwise entitled to monthly allowances. This provision has been included
as a preventive measure in the hope that a person's eyesight
may be so improved as to enable him to become self-supporting
before he actually needs blind assistance. Approximately onethird of the States provide burial allowances ($50 to $1501 for
recipients of blind assistance.
DEPENDENT CHILDREN
There are two types of provisions for dependent children.
One type provides for those children who may be cared for in
their own homes and the homes of relatives or specified persons
by means of cash payments to the person responsible for the care
of the child ( tables 18-21 I. The other type relates to orphans
or children who are neglected and hence are dependent upon the
public for support (tables 22-271. These latter children frequently come within the jurisdiction of the juvenile courts and
are placed and maintained in foster -homes or institutions.
Aid to Dependent Children in Their Own Homes
Eligibility requirements for aid to dependent children in
their own homes relate principally to age, residence, the persons
eligible to care for the child, and need (tables 19 and 201.
Dg,
zedbyGoogle
14 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
In the majority of States a child must be under 16 years of
age in order for his relatives to be eligible to receive aid in
his behalf. There are, however, two States which place the age
at 14, and a few have placed the age at 18 years.
Citizenship on the part of the applicant is required infrequently and in the majority of these States a declaration by
the applicant of his or her intention to become a citizen satisfies the requirement. Only one State statute requires that the
child must be a citizen.
The residence requirement adopted by the majority of States
is that the child must have resided in the State for 1 year
immediately preceding the application or have been born in the
State within 1 year ill1llediately preceding the application if
its mother resided in the State 1 year immediately preceding
its birth. This provision is the most stringent State residence
requirement which a State may enact and st ill be eligible for
grants under the Federal Social Security Act. A few States
require that the applicant have a local residence of 1 or 2
years. As in the two other social security categories, a requirement of local residence which prohibits the granting of
aid tocases not meeting the requirement disqualifies the State
for reimbursement under the Social Security Act.
Any of the following relatives, if caring for the child, are
eligible to receive aid under most State statutes: father,
mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, stepfather,
stepmother, stepbrother, stei:sister, uncle, or aunt. These are
the persons who are specified as eligible bytheFederalSocial
Security Act. A few States specify that only mothers may receive aid, while a few others have broadened the class so as to
include any person standing in loco parent is to the child.
Less than one-third of the State laws contain -provisions relating to the fitness of the person caring for the child. These
provisions usually state that the person must be morally, mentally, and physically fit to care for the child; interpretation
of this phrase is left to administrative discretion. Nearly
one-half of the State laws specify that the home must be suitable for the purposes of raising the child.
Need is not expressed in definite terms in the majority of
statutes, but it must arise from certain conditions or circumstances. Financial inability of applicant is not sufficient to
meet the need qualification. The prevailing requirement, enacted in three-quarters of the States, is very broad and specifies that the applicant must be unable to support the child and
that such inability must be caused by the death, continued
absence from the home, or the physical or mental incapacity of
a parent. A few statutes, much narrower in their provisions,
all<M aid only if the father is dead or mentally incapacitated.

Allowances for aid to dependent children are based upon the
number of children being cared for by the applicant (table 211.
They are usually expressed in maximum teI111S, and the sum allOied
for the first child is generally greater than for each additional
child. The Federal Social Security Board makes grants to States
for one-third of their expenditures for aid to dependent children up to a maximum grant of $6 a month for the first child and
$4 for each additional child. The maximum grant of $18 a month
for the first child and $12 for each additional child has been
adopted in less than 10 States. Other grants range from $2.50
a week for each child up to $25 a month for the first child,
with a limit of $75 for an entire family. About one-half of the
S.t ates do not specify maximum allowances but state that aid must
be granted in the amount necessary for the support of the child
in a manner compatible with decency and health. Burial allOiances ( ranging from $50 to $1501 are provided for in seven States.
Dependent and Neglected Children
Dependent and neglected children are those children who are
dependent upon the public for support because they have no persons responsible for their care or because the persons responsible for their care have neglected this responsibility. Since
these children have no suitable homes of their own and their
relatives are not willing to make homes for them, it is necessary to care for them by other means (table 221. They are usually, though not always, brought within the jurisdiction of the
juvenile court for the purpose of deciding questions of guardianship and liability for their care. Where these questions
are not involved, many public and private agencies have the
power and authority to care and provide for children, but in
all jurisdictions it is necessary to obtain a court order to
remove children from the custody of parents who are neglecting
them. Children must be under specified ages ( ranging from 10
to 21 years depending upon the State, with the majority of States
placing the age for boys at 16 and girls at 181 to cone within
the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. In all States any child
under the statutory age who is destitute, homeless, abandoned,
and dependent upon the public for support or who is living in
an unfit environment with improper parental care may be placed
in a foster home, a public institution, or with a private association or agency willing to care for it (table 241. The majority of statutes express a preference for foster home care

and provide in most instances that children maintained in institutions shall be placed in private homes · as soon as possible.
Thirty-one States and the District of Columbia maintain institutions for the care of dependent and neglected children, and
many States provide for the establishment of county and local
detention homes and institutions (tables 25 and 261.
In several States dependent and neglected children may be committed to industrial schools and similar institutions designated
by law as primarily for the care of delinquent children. Some
State statutes specifically prohibit the maintaining of children
in almshouses; but in jurisdictions which have no such expressed
prohibition, children may be cared for in these institutions.
There has been, however, a decided trend away from this type of
care.
VETERAN RELIEF
Special statutory provisions for the care and support of veterans exist in practically all States (tables 28-331 . ., These
provisions are of three types: direct relief 126 States), pensions 1·21 States), and care in State institutions 138 States).
The majority of statutes providing for direct relief include
the wives, widows, and dependent children of veterans in the
class of eligibles; over one-half of the statutes also include
other dependent relatives. Pensions are granted only to the
veteran or his widow under the majority of State pension acts;
a few provide for pensions to other dependent relatives. Care
in State institutions is generally restricted to veterans and
their wives or widows; only about one-half of the States provide
for institutional care of other dependent relatives. Nurses who
served int ime of war are frequently designated as eligible for
relief, pensions, and institutional care. Servants of soldiers
are granted pensions under the laws of a few of the Southern
States.
Eligibility requirements for all three types of veteran assistance relate principally to residence, the war in which service was rendered, and need. Disability is a condition for
receipt of such aid in a few States, some of whose statutes provide that the disability must have resulted from military service.

ELIGIBILITY PROVISIONS AND TYPES OF CARE GRANTED• 17
The majority of State statutes providing for all three types
of aid prescribe residence requirements. The periods of residence required for eligibility for direct veteran relief range
from 3 months to 5 years. Periods necessary for receipt of
pensions vary from 1 to 31 years. The residence requirements
for institutional care vary even more widely. In some instances
these requirements are waived if the veteran enlisted fran the
State and in other instances enlistment from the State is the
only qualification imposed in the nature ofa residence requirement.
Veterans of all wars are eligible for direct relief in the
majority of States making provisions for direct relief to veterans. H<Mever, legal provisions granting pensions to veterans
of all wars exist in onlythree States (Massachusetts, New Jersey,
and New York). Approximately three-fourths of the States providing for pensions grant them only to veterans of the Civil
War,and most of these are Southern States which grant pensions
to Confederate veterans. Minnesota does not provide pensions
to any veterans except those of the Indian Wars. World War and
Spanish-American War veterans receive pensions under the laws
of Maine.
Nearly one-half of the States providing institutional care do
not require service in any specific war but grant aid. to all
veterans of the armed forces of the United States. Approximately
one-fourth of the States provide institutional care for Civil
War veterans only, and these institutions are principally for
the care of Confederate veterans. The statutes of the remaining States specify that the veteran must have been engaged in
a particular war.
The statutes providing direct relief do not define need by
spec if ic terms but use such descriptive words as "dependent,"
"needy," and "poor." Ten of the twenty-one States granting
pensions prescribe need as a qualification; seven State laws
make disability a condition fgr receiving a pension without
prescribing need; and the remaining four State laws authorize
pensions on the basis of veteran status alone. Approximately
one-half of the States which prescribe need as a condition for
eligibility for a pensiondefine need in terms of specific limitations on property and income, while those remaining use the same
type of descriptive language as that found in the statutes providing direct relief to veterans. The statutes in two-thirds
of the States providing institutional care state in general
terms that an applicant for admittance must be in need.
The type and amount of aid granted veterans varies widely.
Relief in cash or in kind is provided for frequently under veteran direct relief statutes. Many of these laws use the term
reZtef without definition. A few of the statutes provide that

a veteran may not be removed to an almshouse without his consent
and must receive relief in his own home. Pensions generally
take the form of fixed cash sums paid periodically and may amount
to as much as $500 a year. All of the States, whether or not
they have provision for the relief of veterans, m&ke some provision for their burial.

ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RELIEF AND
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
TWO FACTORS in the early development of relief and public assistance programs greatly influenced their administration. The
first of these was the placement of administrative responsibility
upon local uni ts. The doctrine of local responsibility so firmly
established within the earliest systems was carried over to the
special types of programs which developed much later. The second
factor was the establishment in many States of separate agencies
to administer each function. Such agencies were either State
or local, depending upon the incidence of administrative responsibility. Experience showed, however, that there was often an
absence of uniform administration throughout the State when the
responsibility was entirely local and a lack of coordination and
a duplication of effort when similar functions were administered
by separate agencies. Consequently, new principles of centralization and integration have gradually been adopted.
Until as late as 1932 administrative responsibility for relief
and public assistance was usually placedexclusively upon local
units of government, except in those instances where State institutions had been established for the care of children and
veterans. In addition, the State usually assumed the administrative responsibility for veterans' pensions. With the establishment of State emergency relief agencies between 1931 and
1933, there began a definite shift away from placing full responsibility for general relief upon local uni ts. During the
period since January l, 1930, there has been also a rapid increase
in the number of States enacting old age assistance and blind
assistance laws, and there has been considerable revision in
the laws providing for aid to dependent children in their own
homes. Practically all of this new legislation has provided for
State administrative participation; by the end of 1938 the majority of States had established State agencies to administer

directly, or to supervise, relief and public assistance. Federal
participation in the field-through the Federal F.mergency Relief
Administration (established in 19331 and later through the&>cial Security Board (established in 19351-gave impetus to the
movement toward centralization. This movement has not excluded
local participation, since the majority of States have established local agencies ei th-er to administer relief and public
assistance under the supervision of a State agency or to assist
the State agency in the administration of these programs.
INCIDENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY
General Relief
State administrative participation in general relief programs
exists in less than two-thirds of the States (table 11. This
participation usually consists of the supervision by State agencies of local units having direct administrative responsibility.
Only 10 States 1 have assumed direct administrative responsibility for general relief, and in 8 of these the local uni ts
are also authorized to administer a general relief program based
on the old poor laws.
Old Age Assistance
All States have enacted old age assistance laws and have placed
some administrative responsibility upon a State agency ( table 61.
This is due directly to the provisions of the Federal Social
SecurityActwhich requirethata State agencyhaveeither direct
or supervisory responsibility for the administration of old age
assistance. Twenty-six States make the State agency directly
responsible, and the remaining twenty-two have placed supervisory responsibility upon the State agency.
Blind Assistance
Because of the influence of the Federal Social Security Act,
State administrative participation in blind assistance programs
is similar to that of old age assistance programs ( table 121.
State agencies participate in all but 1 State, with State agencies supervising local administrative units in 23 States and
having direct responsibility in 21 States. Under the laws of
New Jersey both the State and county agencies participate in
making final original determinations of blind assistance applications. In Florida each of the State and local uni ts have
direct administrative responsibility for separate programs of
blind assistance.

administration i! the States are to receive Federal benefits
under the Social Security Act. As a result only 3 States out
of 48 have made no provision for such State administrative participation (table 18). State agencies are vested with supervisory
responsibility in 24 States and with direct administrative responsibility in the remaining States. Three States which have
enacted legislation to conform to the Federal Social Security
Act have retained the older "mothers' aid" statutes which are
locally administered.
Dependent and Neglected Children
State laws providing !or the care of dependent and neglected
children by agencies and in institutions are much more complex
than other relief and public assistance statutes. Because o!
the part played by juvenile courts, these programs are quasijudicial as well as administrative. Since diversified types
of care are given by both public and private agencies, it is
difficult to establish criteria !or determining direct administrative or supervisory responsibility, and it is impossible to
employ the criteria· used to place administrative responsibility
in systems which grant cash payments to individuals.
There are three steps in the administration of the care o!
dependent and neglected children. The first involves the commitment or placement o! the child with a person, association,
or institution i! it is impossible for it to remain in its own
home. The second step concerns the administration o!the actual
care of the child and the third the supervision of both placement and care.
Cammi tments of dependent and neglected children are made by
local juvenile courts, or other courts exercising juvenile jurisdiction, in all the States and Territories and in the District
of Columbia. Placements of such children are made by both State
and local welfare agencies in most States and by private childcaring agencies and public and private ins ti tut ions in some
States. Whenever questions o! guardianship or legal custody
are involved, it is necessary to bring the child within the
jurisdiction o! the juvenile court. Welfare agencies receive
children for placement by either court commitment or by voluntary
surrender of the child by its parents or guardian.
In most States the administration of the actual care of these
children is divided among State, local, and private agencies and
institutions. Thirty-one States and the District o! Columbia
have established ins ti tut ions to care for dependent and neglected
children. A number of States have provided for the establishment
of such institutions by counties or other local governmental
uni ts.
Supervision of the care of dependent and neglected children
is exercised by juvenile courts, local agencies, and State agencies. The supervisory power of the juvenile courts is derived
0 g1tized by
Google
22 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
from the provision in the statutes of the majority of States
granting such courts continuing jurisdiction over children who
have appeared before them until they reach the age of 21 years
or are legally adopted, This supervision is usually performed
by probation officers or local boards of visitors appointed by
the courts who visit children cared for by both public and private agencies and institutions.
In nearly all of t.he States there is a State agency charged with
the supervision of local put>lic institutions and private agencies
and ins ti tut ions. This supervision consists of the establishment
of standards of care and their enforcement. Approximately threefourths of the States give this agency the power to license all
child-caring agencies. In about one-half of the States the
State agency may delegate power of supervision to local agencies.
Frequently, local institutions are placed by law under the supervision of county agencies which may be courts, boards of visitors,
or county welfare departments.
Veteran Rel lef
In the determination of the administrative responsibility for
veteran relief, it is necessary to consider the three types of
care (direct relief, pensions, and institutional care I separately. Ten of the twenty-six States providing !or direct relief
place the administrative responsibility exclusively upon local
uni ts. In three States private veteran organizations administer
these programs. Rhode Island and Connecticut have dual programs,
one administered by the State and the other by local uni ts.
Seven additional States have assumed complete administrative
responsibility while Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Michigan
provide for the supervision of local administration.
Veterans' pensions are directly administered by State agencies
in the majority of States. Only 5 of the 21 States providing
pensions place this responsibility upon local units, and 3 of
these provide for State supervision.
The responsibility for the direct administration of institutional care of veterans is lodged with the State in all jurisdictions but California, which provides for the establishment of
county or city veteran homes.

PROVISIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBIUTY FOR
RELIEF AND PUBUC ASSISTANCE 1
THE PROCEDURE adopted for the determination of the eligibility
of an applicant is an important part of administration. The
pattern of this procedure has been set by law and depends considerably upon the location of administrative responsibility
and upon the relationship between State and local administrative
units (tables 1, 6, 12, 18, 29, 31, and 33),
The various types of procedure may be divided into two general
groups: (11 the procedures for making the final original determination; 2 and (21 those providing for further consideration
of an application if the par.ties involved are not satisfied with
the final original determination. The latter procedures consist
of appeals by the applicant, complaints by citizens, reviews by
the State agency either on its own motion or on appeal or complaint, and periodic reconsideration by State or local agencies.

which advises a second local agency which makes the final original determination.
These procedures have not been adopted uniformly for all types
of relief and public assistance. In fact, varying procedures
for different types of relief or public assistance are found
within statutes of individual States. The procedures most canmonly enacted into law are those listed as (4) and (5) above,
in which the investigation and final original determination are
made by a local off ice or local agency under the supervision of
a State department. Legislation providing for advisory procedures [12) and (3) above] has been adopted with some frequency
as also has the provision for exclusive investigation and final
original determination by a State agency [procedure (l)]. This
latter procedure may easily be varied in practice, however, by
the delegation of part of the function of the State agency to
either its local offices or to local agencies. Such a delegation may result in making the State agency supervisory in character or in placing it in the position of receiving advice from
local offices or agencies to which investigatory powers have
been delegated.
The procedures in which one agency makes the investigation and
advises a second agency [12) and (3) above] may also vary in
practice depending upon the consideration given the recommendations of the investigating agency. In some States this procedure may amount to nothing more than a clerical check of all
applications by the agency authorized to make the final original
determination in order to ascertain whether or not matters of
form have been complied with. In other jurisdictions the powers
may result in a real weighing of the merits of each individual
application by the agency with the final authority.

PROVISIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES• 25
In the majority of States where the law has placed no administrative responsibility on the State, the investigation and
final original determination is made by a single local agency.
This type of procedure 18) is found most frequently in the laws
providing for general relief and direct relief to veterans.
The remaining procedures [161, 171, and (91] have been adopted
in only a few instances. 8
Dependent and Neglected Children
Because children without parents or proper guardianship cannot
be relied upon to provide for themselves adequately, legal procedures have been established which insure that dependent and
neglected children shall receive care and training. Of course,
in practically all of the States parents or guardians may for
good cause voluntarily surrender their children or wards to agencies or institutions authorized to care for them. However, in
several of these States even this voluntary surrender can be
consummated only with the approval of a court having juvenile
jurisdiction.
The procedure provided in statutes establishing juvenile courts
is fairly uniform (table 231, In all States there exist county
and city courts vested with jurisdiction over dependent and neglected children. Usually any resident of the community having
knowledge that a child is dependent or neglected may file a petition to that effect with such a court. Welfare officials are
specifically authorized frequently to file these petitions and
in some States are required to do so.
The next step, the investigation of the petition, is provided
for in all States. This investigation is usually made by probation officers attached to the juvenile court or by welfare agencies designated by the court to act in this capacity. Children
are generally placed in the care of these officers or agencies
until their final disposition has been determined by the court.
A private hearing is usually provided for. Many State laws
specify that no jury be impaneled, though several State statutes
do provide for a jury if desired by the interested parties. The
laws generally require the investigating officer to be present
to represent the interests of the child.
All of the statutes grant the presiding judge discretionary
power, within limitations, to make final disposition of the child
in a manner which will best serve its interests.

26 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
APPEALS AND FAIR HEARINGS
The Federal Social Security Act stipulates that a State is
ineligible to receive Federal grants for old age assistance,
blind assistance, and aid to dependent children, unless it allows
an applicant for any of these three types of assistance an opportunity for a fair hearing before the State agency if his or
her claim for assistance is denied. Provisions allowing fair
hearings under such circumstances are found in the majority of
State laws providing for these three special types of aid. Frequently fair hearings are also allowed if the applicant is dissatisfied with the final original decision. Provisions allowing
appeals and fair hearings are found in relatively few State
statutes providing for general and veteran relief.
In States in which the final original decision is made by a
local administrative unit, the law generally p_rovides for an
appeal to a State agency which makes the final decision. In
States in which the final original decision is made by the State
agency, the hearing is usually conducted by the State board or
other designated officials within the State agency. Technicallf,
there is no appeal in these instances since the final original
decision is reviewed by officials of the agency which made that
decision. A few States, in which the law is directly administered by a State agency, have felt the need for a further appeal
and have made provision for an appeal to a court of law from
the decision of the officials conducting ihe fair hearing.
Provisions for appeals to courts of law are found in several
State statutes even though in some instances an appeal to a
State agency is allowed from the decision of a local agency.
Judicial review of administrative decisions has been seriouslf
opposed on the ground that the administration of relief and
public assistance is not a judicial function but one to be performed only by trained administrators. However, whenever an
applicant is denied relief or assistance under a mandatory statute, he may sue for a writ of mandamus against the administering
official, which in effect is an appeal of the original decision
to a court of law. Some of the recent statutes, with the specific intent of barring court action, make the decision of the
State agency final. Such provision tends to prevent the issuance of writs of mandamus except in those cases which have been
arbitrarily and unfairly decided against an applicant.
Approximately one-half of the State juvenile court statutes
allow appeals to higher courts. Denial of appeal, because it
seems arbitrary and may be held to abridge a constitutional
right, may result in the use of another legal method (habeas
corpus proceedings>. to achieve the same result. The exercise
of the right of appeal from juvenile court decisions may be
easily abused since an appeal, barring statutory provision to

the contrary, has the legal effect of suspending the operation
of the decree until the appeal is decided. In such cases the
child is often returned to the situation which led to the juvenile court proceedings. A few States providing for appeals from
juvenile court decisions have taken steps to prevent such occurrences by requiring continued care by the court pending the
outcome of the appeal.
COMPLAINTS
Specific provisions are made in a few States for complaints
from citizens or taxpayers who believe that aid has been improperly granted. Less than one-fourth of the old age assistance
statutes contain such a provision; while in laws providing for
other types of relief and assistance, complaints are specifically authorized only in isolated instances. They do not appear
at all in veteran relief statutes. In the majority of States
authorizing complaints, it is mandatory upon the State agency
to make investigation.
REVIEW ON OWN MOTION AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION
The majority of State agencies which supervise direct administration of the public assistance provisions contained in the
Social Security Act are granted the authority to review applications on their own motion. Generally coupled with this authority is the power to make further investigations of applications. Such additional investigation may be necessary in cases
where complaints have been made or appeals taken.

Section V
PROVISIONS FOR THE FINANCING OF RELIEF AND
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
THE TREND toward an increasing centralization in financial responsibility for relief and public assistance is similar to t,he
trend in administrative responsibility. Financial responsibility was placed entirely upon local units in the majority of early
laws except those providing for State institutions for children
and veterans and pensions for veterans. Prior to 1930 no State
had assumed any responsibility for the total general relief
load, although New York and the New England States reimbursed
local units of government for the funds expended on the "State
poor" ( persons without leg al settlement in a local governmental
unit and for whom no local unit of government was financially
responsiblel. 1 Only 2 of the 10 States which had old age assistance programs contributed State funds to the care of the aged.
Approximately one-third of the statutes establishing programs
for aid to dependent children in their own homes and less than
one-half of blind assistance systems provided for State contributions. An increase in the proportion of States participating
in the financing of these programs began in 1933, and by January 1,
1939, most of the States had assumed some financial responsibility for all these programs.
Some State funds for general relief are currently provided in
approximately two-thirds of the States (table 51. State participation is found much more widely in the three categories (old
age, blind assistance, and aid to dependent children) included
in the Federal Social Security Act, which requires that the
State assume some financial responsibility in order to qualify
for Federal reimbursement. State funds are granted for old age
assistance in all States, over one-half of which share financial
responsibility with local units (table 111. Approximately the

STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
same situation exists in the statutes granting blind assistance
except that two States have not as yet assumed any financial
responsibility (table 171, All but four States have made funds
available for aid to dependent children programs, but less than
one-third of them have assumed the entire responsibility (table
211.
The care of dependent and neglected children is at least partially financed by a majority of States, which maintain either
State ins ti tut ions or appropriate funds for the care of children
in foster homes or private institutions. Local units of government are also given some financial responsibility for the care
of such children in practically all of the States (table 27).
Institutional care of veterans and veterans' pensions are
financed from State funds in all State9. However, approximately
two-thirds of the States granting direct relief to veterans
place the financial responsibility upon local units (tables 29,
31, and 331.
PROVISION FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF STATE FUNDS
Several methods have been provided for the distribution of
State funds ( tables 5, 11, 17, and 21). States assuming the
full responsibility may either distribute funds directly to individuals or may transfer such funds \o local units of government for distribution. In States which share the financial
responsibility with local units, the funds may be allotted to
local governmental units for distribution or the State may make
payments and obtain reimbursements from the local units.
The majority of States that have assumed the total financial
responsibility provide for the distribution of funds directly
to individual applicants. In most instances where the financial
responsibility is shared, State funds are allocated to local
units for distribution to individuals. A few States, however,
provide for the distribution of funds by the State which is
reimbursed by local units for their proportionate share.
The method of distribution most frequently found in instances
where the responsibility is divided consists of a rigid statutory
formula in which the percentage contributions of the State and
local units are sp~cified. The extent of State contributions
ranges from 25 percent to 90 percent of the total. Another type
of rigid statutory formula has been adopted in a few States which
provide for the distribution of funds on the basis of population.
Several State statutes have been drafted so as to allow administrative officials to consider the financial capacity of local
units. The majority of these State laws do not establish definite legal formulae for the allocation of funds but have left
to administrative discretion the determination of the need of
the various local units. A few States, however, have established
Dalt zed by
Google
PROVISIONS FOR THE FINANCING• 31
criteria for administrative guidance. Among them are: (l) the
number of cases and the cost of living within each local unit;
(2) the number of cases and ability of the local unit to meet
costs; and 131 population, need, and financial condition of the
local unit.
The Louisiana statutes provide for a flat percentage reimbursement but authorize the State Department of Public Welfare
to assume the total burden if a parish is unable to contribute
its share because of financial inability or legal prohibition.
Several other States which have provided for a flat percentage
contribution have also taken into consideration the possible
financial incapacity of local units and have provided for this
contingency by authorizing loans or additional grants.
SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR RELIEF AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
An examination of the types of funds used for relief and public assistance shows that practically all States at present are
financing these programs out of current revenue rather than from
borrowed funds. This is in sharp contrast to the general use
of borrowed funds for emergency unemployment relief prior to
1935.
Relief and public assistance are financed more frequently
from general revenue than from any other source. However, the
receipts of certain taxes are specifically appropriated to these
activities in many States, but no one type is used consistently
throughout the States. 2 Liquor and beverage taxes are applied
in about one-fourth of the Sta.tes to finance general relief,
old age assistance, blind assistance, or aid to dependent children. Sales taxes serve the same purpose in about 10 States.
Since, for the majority of local governmental uni ts, property
taxes are. the only source of revenue this type of tax is generally used where the law requires local contribution.

THE INTEGRATION OF PUBLIC WELFARE
FUNCTIONS WITHIN A SINGLE STATE AGENCY
RELIEF AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
IN 193~, following the assumption of some administrative responsibility (either directorsupervisory)bythe States for relief
and public assistance, there began a trend toward the centralization of administrative responsibility within a single State
agency. The degree of integration which has occurred varies
among the several States. Strictly speaking, complete integration exists only in those States where all types of relief
or public assistance for which the State has some administrative
responsibility are administered by a single State agency. However, for the purpose of this analysis it is considered that a
significant degree of integration exists when at least three
types of relief or public assistance are administered by a sing le
State agency. Integration to this extent indicates a fairly
clear intention to centralize the administration of relief and
assistance within a single agency. On the other hand, the administration of only two types of relief by a State agency does
not necessarily show an·intention on the part of the legislature
to set up an integrated system. Some States which formerly had
only two types of relief, both of which were administered by the
same agency, had at a later date adopted new types of relief for
which the administrative responsibility rested in separate independent agencies.
The types of assistance included in the Federal Social Security Act were the first to be included in partially or completely
integrated systems. The Federal act requires State administrative participation, and many of the States were placing some
administrative responsibility for these public assistance functions upon State agencies for the first time where integration
first occurred.

34 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
On January 1, 1939, 45 States had State agenaies administering
or supervising at least 3 types of relief and public assistance.
Approximately one-half of those State agencies participated
administratively in five relief or assistance functions, while
several States had a completely integrated system. 1 Only Delaware, Michigan, and Mississippi administered the bulk of their
relief and assistance programs through independent agencies.
Those functions which are included in the Federal Social Security Act are more frequently administered or supervised through
integrated systems than either general or veteran relief. Old
age assistance is administered or supervised through an integrated system in 44 States, blind assistance in 41 States, and
aid to dependent children in 44 States. Some administrative
function relating to dependent and neglected children is carried
out through an integrated system in 43 States. There are, however, several States which have in addition independent agencies
administering or supervising care of dependent and neglected
children.
The majority 1241 of the States which have assumed some administrative responsibility for general relief have placed this
responsibility within an integrated system. As many as 18 States,
however, have not assumed any administrative responsibility.
Veteran relief has been included within integrated systems
less frequently than any other type. In only 13 States do
agencies which administer 3 or more other types of relief or
pub.lie assistance also administer some phase of veteran relief,
and in only a very few of these does such agency administer or
supervise the complete veteran relief program.
GENERAL PUBLIC WELFARE PROGRAM
The discussion of integration up to this point bas been concerned with relief and public assistance. Inasmuch as there is
a close relationship among dependency, deficiency, and delinquency, it is important that close cooperation exists among agencies concerned with these various phases of a complete welfare
program. Necessary cooperation may exist between independent
agencies handling these problems, but the difficulty of effective cooperation increases with every increase in the number of
independent agencies.
An analysis of the statutes providing for the public welfare
systems of the several States indicates that, generally speaking, they fall into one of five types: 2 (11 Complete or almost

TYPES OF STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES
ADMINISTERING RELIEF AND PUBLIC ASSISTANCE 1
STATE BOARDS of public welfare or public welfare commissions
have been established by law in more than three-fourths of the
States, while agencies administered by a single administrator,
executive director, or commissioner are found in only six States.
STATE BOARDS OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The part which the board or commission plays in the administration of public welfare varies greatly among the States. Their
function ranges from being purely advisory, as with the Massachusetts Board of Public Welfare, to being executive in character,
as with the Minnesota Board of Control. The powers and duties
of these boards and commissions, as distinguished from the powers
and duties of the executive ordepartment, are usually statutory;
but classification of these boards and commissions on the basis
of law alone is meaningless without consideration of their actual operation which is not within the scope of this study.
Organization
The composition of public welfare boards varies somewhat among
the several States (table 341, The number of members provided
for ranges from 3 to 15, with approximately one-third of the
State laws providing for boards with 5 members and about an additional one-third for public welfare boards of 7 members.
Qua I If i cat Ions
The qualifications for membership on a State public welfare
board are usually stated in general terms and require that the
1on1y those State agencies which administer any three reuer and public
assistance tunctlons or general relier or old age assistance are analyzed

STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
appointee have a recognized interest in and knowledge of public
welfare problems. A few State laws specify that members must
be citizens or residents of the State.
Selection and Appolnt111nt
Host of the State statutes place limitations upon the appointment of members of public welfare boards (table 34). The provision that the appointment must be made without regard to
political affiliation is found frequently as is the requirement
for definite representation of different political parties.
Some laws prevent the appointment of any political officeholder
or public employee, and a few statutes even prohibit a member
of the board !rem holding office for a specified period after
retirement from the board. Several State statutes provide for
the selection of members from different geographical sections
of the State. The laws frequently provide for the appointment
of at least one or two women to serve on the board. In a few
States members are precluded from serving more than two consecutive terms.
In almost all States public welfare boards are appointed by
the Governor. In about half of these the Governor has the sole
authority for making appointments, and in the other half appointments must be confirmed or approved by the State Senate or General Assembly or the Governor's council. The remaining State
laws provide that existing State officers serve on the board in
an ex officio capacity. In several States the Governor is an
ex officio member of the board.
Terms of Off Ice
In almost all States appointees serve rota ting or overlapping
terms in order to assure continuity of policy. Terms range from
3 to 9 years, but 4- or 6-year terms have been most frequently
adopted .
Compensation
Members of public welfare boards in most of the States serve
gratuitously except for actual expenses . Few States pay fixed
salaries to members. Approximately one-fourth of the State laws
specify per diem allowances and the majority of these place a
limit on the amount which any member may receive in a year.
Service on a public welfare board is considered a full-time job
only in those States which place administrative or executive
duties upon the board. In these instances fixed salaries are
paid to the members.
EXECUTIVE OF STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
In most States provisions are made for an administrator, executive director, or commissioner who usually functions with the

assistance of a board and who carries out or directs the execution
of the duties and policies of the board or department (table 35).
He may also determine policies or assist a board in determining
policies.
Selection and Appointment
Several methods of selecting the executive have been adopted.
Selection and appointment by the board is the method provided
for in nearly one-half of the States. In a few States this
selection and appointment must be in conformity with the State
civil service laws. In the remaining States the Governor is
given some share in the selection and appointment. Selection
or appointment by the Governor with the advice of his council
or the consent of the State legislative body is the method that
has been adopted in about one-fourth of the States. The remaining State statutes either grant the Governor the sole authority
to make the appointment or the authority to approve or disapprove
the selection of the board.
Teras of Office
In over one-half of the States the executive serves at the
pleasure of the board, while in an additional one-fourth a term
of office ranging from 2 to 6 years is stated in the law. In
the remaining States the executive is either a civil service
employee with tenure of office or else serves at the pleasure
of the Governor.
Qualifications
The qualifications of the executive are included in the statutes
providing for his appointment in about one-half of the States.
The most common provision is that he must be a trained administrator of public welfare. A number of State statutes provide
that only citizens or residents of the State are eligible and
the length of residence required is usually 5 years. The New
Jersey statute specifically states that the appointment need
not be limited to residents. In some States civil service statutes specify qualifications for the executive of the welfare
board.
Compensation
The salary of the executive is usually fixed by law or a maximum is placed upon the amount which may be paid. The board is
given the power to fix the salary without limitation in only a
few States.
LOCAL DEPARTMENTS OF PUBLIC WELFARE
In local governmental uni ts there are several types of organizations which have been provided to administer public welfare
Og,

functions (table 361. The local public welfare administrative
unit may be a township, town, city, county, or district. In the
majority of States the county has been designated as the local
unit, but frequently large cities are constituted separate administrative units. Many State statutes authorize two or more
counties or cities and counties to unite to form a district
public welfare administrative unit, usually with the consent of
the State department.
Organization
The board and executive form of local organization has been
adopted in the majority of States (table 361. Agencies with
responsibility placed in a single executive without the assistance of a board have been provided for in less than a half dozen
States. Less than one-fourth of the States have made no provision for local public welfare organization. In these States
the functions are performed entirely by the State department,
or the administrative duties are placed upon the governing bodies
of local governmental units acting in their official capacity.
The latter situation differs somewhat from that in which a local
public welfare board is established by law and the local governing body (boards of county commissioners, city councils, etc. I
ex officio constitutes such board. This type of organization
has been provided for in a few States.
Functions of Local Boards
The functions performed by local boards range from executive
to purely advisory. In some instances these boards meet periodically and pass upon all applications. In other instances the
boards' work is confined to advising the local director and
acting in a liaison capacity between local officials and the
community.
Qualifications of Local Boards
In those States which have provided for the appointment of
local boards of public welfare, residence with in the governmental
unit to be served is the qualification most frequently required
of appointees. Often this is the only requirement, though several
State statutes provide that members must be selected on the
basis of their interest in and knowledge of public welfare. The
size of local boards varies considerably among the States. The
number of members provided for ranges from 3 to 11. Boards consisting of five or seven members are most frequently provided.
Prov is ions assuring the service of women on local boards appear
with some frequency, and a few statutes bar public officials and
relatives of members of local governing bodies. The Arkansas
s ta tu te bars retail merchants, presumably because of the influence
they might have over the expenditure of a relief recipient's
funds.
TYPES OF STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES • 41
Selection and Appointment of Local Boards
State departments of public welfare have been granted some
authority in relation to the appointment of local boards of
welfare in approximately one-half of the States which provide
for the appointment of local boards (table 36). Various methods
have been provided by statutes: selection and appointment of
total membership by the State department; selection andappointmen t of part of membership by the State department; appointment
by the State department from lists submitted by local officials;
selection and appointment by local officials from lists submitted by the State department; and selection and appointment
by local officials with the advice or approval of the State
department. In the majority of the remaining States the membership is selected and appointed by local officials without the
assistance of the State department. Local boards are appointed
by the Governors ofa few States, and in one State, Massachusetts,
they are elected.
Ter■s
of Office of Local Boards
Rotating or overlapping terms are usually established for
periods ranging from l to 6 years. Three-year or four-year terms
have been adopted in approximately one-half of the States providing for the appointment of local boards. In three States
the length of term is fixed by the State department.
Colllpensation of Local Boards
Some provision for remuneration of members of local boards is
contained in the laws of about one-half of the States providing
for their appointment. Compensation is usually restricted to
expenses incurred in the performance of their duties; however,
a few of these States also grant a per diem allowance.
LOCAL EXECUTIVE
Specific provisions for local directors or administrators have
been made in about two-thirds of the States (table 37). Where
local boards or departments have been established with the power
to appoint a staff, an executive could probably be appointed
under such provision even though the appointment is not specifically authorized.
In about one-third of the States which make specific provision
for a local executive, the State department participates in the
selection and appointment. The types of participation by the
State department are similar to those providing for the appointment of local boards. Local boards are authorized" to appoint
an executive in an additional one-third of these States. In the
rema1n1ng States the executive is elected or appointed by either
the local governing body or the Governor.

42 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
Generally the executive holds office during the pleasure of
the appointing body. Specific qualifications for the local
director are not usually established by law, although many statutes provide that he must meet the qualifications imposed by the
State department of public welfare. The provision that the appointee must be a resident of the county is found in a few States.

Appendix A
BASIC TABLES
EXPLANATIONS OF TERNS USED IN TABLES
Rapid expansion and recent developments in the field of public welfare have ma.de
it necessary to set up various terlll!I and definitions for the purposes of this
study. They are indicated and explained in the following paragraphs.
Nor O indicate the mandatory or optional nature of the law (tables l, 6, 12,
18, 29, 31, and 33 l. A law is considered to be mandatory when it is phrased in
such a way that it requires the administering official to grant aid if the applicant meets all of the qualifications imposed b7 law. If the granting of aid to a
specific individual when he meets the qualifications is discretionary with the
official, the law is considered optional.
Direct responslbll lty as used in tables 1, 6, 12, 18, 29, and 31 under the
capt ion "administrative responsibility" means the final original responsibility 1
for determining wbet Iler relief or assistance shall be given an applicant. If the
final original decision is made b7 the State department or its agent, the direct
responsibility is considered to be upon that department. On the other hand, if
the final original decision is made by an agent of the local unit of government,
then the direct responsibility is considered to be upon that unit. 2
AHlsted by as used in the text of tables 1, 6, 12, and 18 under the caption
"direct responsibility" indicates that the administrative agency assisting is not
an agent of the administrative agency having direct responsibility but is serving
in an advisory capacity to such administranve agency.
Through as used in the text of tables 1, 6, 12, and 18 indicates that the local
administrative agency is an agent of the administrative agency having direct responsibility and makes the final original determinations for that administrative
agency.
Supervisory reaponslbll lty wherever used means that the administrative agency
does not have direct responsibility but has substantial control of policy and has
the power to adopt rules and regulations which are binding on the administrative
agency with direct responsibility.
Final and advisory column heads as• used in tables 1, 6, 12, and 18 under the
capt ion "original determination" and tables 29, 31, and 33 under the capt ion "determination of eligibility" indicate the administrative agency making the final
original determination or serving inanadvisory capacity without considering the
effect of the presence of an agency relationship. An administrative agency is
considered tobe acting in an advisory capacity when its duties consist of ma.king
investigations and forwarding its findings and recommendations to another administrative agency which makes the final original determination.
Ad■ lnlstrative reaponslbl I lty as used in table 33 is restricted to the responsibility for the management or control of an institution and does not necessa.rily
involve the determination of eligibility for admission to the institution.
F inanclal reapons lbi I lty means the res pons ibili ty for supplying funds for relief
and public assistance, either for grants to individuals or for administrative
expenses. No consideration has been given to Federal financial participation
unless such participation is specifically mentioned in the State statute.
Ad■ inistered by as used in the summary statements in the appendix means that
the agency concerned has the direct responsibility as defined above.
1The see•tnclY contradictory word.a •tin.al ortg1na1• haYe been used because under many State
statutes the ortglnal deter ■ lnatlon la not rtnal but must be approved by another ad1111n1strattve

Appendix B
SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The following supplementary tables make current as of January 1, 1939, the information contained in the original tables in appendix A. In general, the legislation tabulated in the original tables is presented as of July 1, 1938. However,
because copies of new laws were not obtained at an early enough date, legislation
in New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Ohio which was in effect on July 1, 1938, was
not included. The legislation in these States along with legislation enacted
after July 1, 1938, in California, Illinois, Louisiana, and Massachusetts is included in the supplementary tables. The effective dates are indicated in footnotes.
The supplementary tables are duplicates of the original tables with respect to
form and teminology. They have been numbered to conform with the numbering of
the original tables, but only those tables which have been changed by new legislation are included. Changes have been indicated by citations to the laws effecting
them.
The following table indicates the States and tables for which the original set
of tables must be supplemented by the second set in order to show the provisions
as of January 1, 1939.

Appendix C
SUMMARIES OF STATE PROVISIONS FOR PUBLIC
WELFARE AND CHARTS OF STATE AND LOCAL
PUBLIC WELFARE AGENCIES
THE F0LL0WIN8 charts of State agencies and institutions performing public welfare
functions indicate briefly the public welfare structure within each State and the
names of the agencies and institutions performing public welfare functions. The
summaries of statutory provisions for public welfare which accompany each chart
and which are to be read in conjunction with the chart indicate very briefly the
functions performed by the agencies and institutions contained in the chart.
The organizational charts are restricted to the legal and constitutional structure within the State. They do not indicate the extent to which divisions and
bureaus have been established within particular agencies unless such divisions
and bureaus are created by law. The lines joining the boxes on the charts indicate
mainly the legal lines of control over agencies and institutions performing public
welfare functions on both the State and local levels.
Functions which are uniformly considered to be of a public welfare nature and
consistently included in the charts and summaries are those which provide for
dependent, handicapped, defective, and delinquent persons.
Provisions for the relief of dependency included in the charts and summaries
are: general relief, old !lie assistance, aid to dependent children in their own
b0111es, blind assistance,care of dependent and neglected children by agencies and
institutions, and Teteran relief. 1
Functions performed for the welfare of handicapped and defective persons included
in the charts and suD1D1aries are: care and treatment of the insane and feebleminded and epileptic persons; and services to the blind.
The charts and summaries include the following provisions for delinquents: the
care, confinement, and reformation of juvenile and adult delinquents; and the
administration of paroles and probation.
All agencies concerned with the administration of any of the above functions
have been uniformly included in the organizational charts. In some instances
agencies and institntions which ·are performing one or more of the above functions
are also responsible for the administration of ft:nctions which inmost States have
not been brought within the public welfare structure. For the purpose of this
study, these functions have been included in the summaries only when their administration is placed within an agency or institution which is performing one or
111ore of the functions consistently considered to be of a public welfare nature.
These functions include. the care of crippled children; maternal and child health;
education of the deaf, dumb, and blind; vocational rehabilitation; and the care
of tuberculars. The absence of these functions from a particular summary does
not indicate that they are not being undertaken by some ,other Siate department,
such as the Department of Health or Department of Education.

284 • STATE PUBLIC WELFARE LEGISLATION
SUMMARY OF STATUTORY PROVISIONS FOR PUBLIC WELFARE
FLORIDA
Relief and Public Assistance.-General relief is administered by boards of county
commissioners, county boards of charity or county wel!are boards where established,
and city and town councils. The State Welfare Board may accept such duties as are
delegated to it by any county or municipal agency. The State board may establish
and operate almshouses, public homes, !anns, schools-, and hospitals for the indigent.
Old age assistance is administered by the State Welfare Board 1 through district
boards of social welfare. There are two programs for aid to dependent children
in their own homes. One is administered by boards of county conunissioners and the
other by the State Welfare Board through district boards of social welfare. 1\to
programs for blind assistance are similarly administered.
Cases involving dependent and neglected children come within the jurisdiction
of juvenile courts. The State Welfare Board, with the consent of the parents or
a guardian, may place a child in a public or private home or institution or in a
foster home. The State board may delegate activities to the district boards to
be performed under its supervision. All child welfare institutions or agencies
must meet with the standards and regulations for proper treatment and supervision
prescribed by the State board for the care of dependent children away from their
homes. Associations, institutions, or persons receiving or desiring to receive
dependent, neglected, or delinquent children must also meet standards required by
the juvenile courts. The juvenile courts cooperate with the State Welfare Board
in the board's administration of provisions f_or the care of dependent, neglected
and morally defective, and physically handicapped children.
Provisions for veterans' pensions are administered by boards of county co-issioners under the supervision of the State Board of Pensions. 2 Care of veterans
in the Old Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Home is administered by the board
of managers of the home, under the supervision of the Board of Connissioners of
State Institutions.
Juvenile Delinquents.-Juvenile courts have jurisdiction in cases involving
delinquent children. The court may commit a juvenile delinquent to a probation
officer, allow it to remain in its own home, or order it placed in a family home.
The child may also be committed to a private child-caring institution or association or to an institution incorporated under laws of the State or provided by a
city, county, or'the State for care of delinquent children, including the State
Industrial School for Boys and the State Indus trial School for Girls. A child
committed to an institution is subject to the control of the county judge. A
child under 18 years of age sentenced to the State Prison may ha.ve its sentence
col!llluted by the State Board of Pardons to detention in one of the industrial
schools. County boards of visitors appointed by the juvenile courts must visit
persons, societies, associations, and institutions, except State institutions,
receiving delinquent children; they manage any detention home that may be established by the board of county commissioners. 3
Insane and Mental Defectives.-The State Hospital for the Indigent Insane provides care and treatment for insane persons coD111itted by the judges of the county
or circuit courts. The State Fann Colony for Epileptics and Feeble-minded is an
asylum for the care, protection, training, segregation, and employment of the
feeble-minded and epileptics. Commitments tothe colony are made bycounty judges,
subject to acceptance by the Board of Commissioners of State Institutions. Juvenile courts must cooperate with the State Welfare Board in the board's administration of provisions for the care of mentally defective children.
Adult Del inquents.-The State Prison and State Prison Fann provide for confinement and training of adult delinquents. The State Board of Pardons may remit
fines and forfeitures, commute punishment, and grant pardons except in cases of
