One hundred\nthousand eight hundred seventy two reductions in the caseload have been\nachieved since passage of the Welfare Reform Act on October 1, 1971.\n\"Merely stopping the previous upward caseload trend would be\nsomething to be proud of. The fact we have been able to roll back the\ncaseload to the extent we have is far more than we could have possibly\nLoped for. And the 17-month decline in the number of Californians on\nwelfare has been achieved in the face of a national trend which continues\nupward.\"\nGovernor Reagan noted that the reduction has been achieved without\nthe types of measures adopted by some of the few other states reporting\nlower caseload figures. Kansas, for example, cut all grants by 20 percent,\nacross the board. Those with small grants went off welfare and the rolls\nwent down. Nevada conducted a house-to-house search and thinned out its\nrolls.\n- 1 -\n#546\nHe also pointed out that New Jersey, an industrial state, simply\ndiscontinued the Aid to Families with Dependent Children - Unemployed\n(AFDC-U) program and left out-of-work fathers without any source of\nsupport. \"If California were to have adopted this type of measure,\nanother 200,000 persons would have been cut from our welfare rolls. But\nthis type of approach is not in line with the comprehensive reform program\nwe have implemented, which has increased grants to needy families by 30\npercent, Governor Reagan said.\nCalifornia's welfare reforms also have brought about a 48 percent\nreduction in the number of people on county relief, from 102,659 in March,\n1971 to 53,107 last month. The governor credited this reduction for\nhelping decrease general tax rates in many California counties.\nDr. Earl W. Brian, California Secretary of Health and Welfare, whose\nAgency oversees the Welfare and Medi-Cal programs, noted that improvements\nin detecting fraudulent use of welfare grants are still being made.\n\"A major section of the Act is aimed at reducing payments to those\nwith significant outside income, in order to make money available to\nincrease grants to those people wholly dependent on welfare,' Dr. Brian\nsaid. He added that \"anyone who is reporting all the income he or she\nearns and is still legally eligible for welfare has nothing to fear from\nthe Earnings Clearance System.\"\nThe latest earnings clearance data lists 177,000 recipients on\noutside payrolls in the first quarter of 1972. This does not include\ncity, county or state employees who are not on Human Resources Development\n(HRD) records nor those willful and determined \"cheaters\" who use fake\nSocial Security numbers. \"Audits of these records have shown an extremely\nhigh percentage of discrepancy between what the recipient reports as\nincome and what is reported by the employer,\" Dr. Brian said.\nHe cited the example turned up by the system of a couple who had been\non Aid to Families with Dependent Children from 1968 through June, 1972\nin San Francisco and from March, 1971 through June, 1972 on AFDC in Sonoma\nCounty. \"When the couple moved to Sonoma they arranged a mail drop and\nwould return to the city periodically to pick up their checks,\" Dr. Brian\nsaid. \"Sonoma authorities estimate the couple collected $800 a month from\nwelfare, including food stamps, while they operated a gift and curio shop\nin Cloverdale. They now face criminal charges.\"\n- 2 -\n#546\n\"Putting the Act to work took a long time, and some of the pieces\nare still falling into place a year after passage, Dr. Brian said. \"We\nwere denied the opportunity to effectively put the reform program into\neffect while section after section of the new law was dragged through the\ncourts. Altogether, 12 of the Act's 84 sections were challenged in a\ntotal of 18 lawsuits, mostly instituted by welfare rights attorneys. At\nlast count the state has been upheld on 12 of 13 actions against the 1971\nWelfare Reform Program, he added.\nCourt action also was required to defend the legislative intent:\n--To require stepfathers to contribute to the support of their\nstepchildren;\n--To set up a program of child care facilities;\n--To recognize in-kind income in computing grants;\n--To deny payments to children who had left their parental home;\n--To require unrelated males to contribute to the support of\nhouseholds they headed;\n--To require adult children to support their needy aged parents;\n--To prevent unmarried pregnant minors with affluent parents from\ngetting abortions at public expense.\nDr. Brian said the Support Enforcement Incentive Fund, a section of\nthe Act which went into effect last October, has been \"an unqualified\nsuccess.\" This fund reimburses counties a portion of the money for child\nsupport that district attorneys are able to get from absent fathers of\nwelfare children.\n\"Since this makes the activity self-supporting, Dr. Brian said,\n\"many counties have increased their child support staff and this is a\nhelp to the deserted mother and children.\n\"The savings made possible by all these combined efforts have enabled\nus to achieve our goal of increasing grants to the truly needy and the\naged, blind and disabled. Grants to needy AFDC families have been\nincreased and cost of living increases to the aged, blind and disabled\nhave been put on a regular basis with increases last year and this year,\"\nDr. Brian said.\nConcerning similar savings and improvements in Medi-Cal reforms,\nDr. Brian emphasized that \"for the first time since its inception, the\nMedi-Cal budget is actually less than it was in the preceding year. And\nwe anticipate piling up another surplus in the current fiscal year, he\nadded.\n- 3 -\n#546\n\"Before Medi-Cal Reform, the health care provision system within\nthe state was burdened with excessive paperwork problems, submission of\nbills for Medi-Cal eligible persons getting health care services, a\ncomplex system of standards and reviews to try and control abuses, and\nextensive delays in actually paying bills. The recipients were unhappy,\nthe doctors found it difficult to provide care, and the taxpayers were\nfacing a financial crisis as medical costs soared and bills piled up,\"\nDr. Brian said.\n\"Through Medi-Cal reform we were able to ease the paperwork burden\non health care providers, while still maintaining a fiscal control on\ndollars expended for needed health care services. In the first fiscal\nyear of the reform program we reported a $180 million surplus in federal,\nstate and county monies.\" (Over and above original projected savings of\n$208 million).\n\"While we are grateful for the financial impact of the reform, the\nmost important aspects of the Medi-Cal reform are just getting into high\ngear now, Dr. Brian emphasized.\n\"A key part of this reform program has been the establishment of\nPrepaid Health Plans, or PHPs, Dr. Brian said. \"Prepayment for health\ncare services is arranged through a contract between the state and a PHP\norganization. The PHP organization agrees to provide health care services\non a risk basis. This means that, for an agreed-upon prepayment, the PHP\nwill provide the individual member all of the health care services\nrequired without further compensation from the state. Enrollment in a\nPHP program by Medi-Cal beneficiaries is voluntary.\n\"Since October, 1971, we have signed 17 PHP contracts with a potentia\nenrollment of approximately 300,000 Medi-Cal recipients, and anticipate a\nsavings of approximately $9 million through these contracts,\" Dr. Brian\nsaid.\nThe PHP programs currently in effect are located primarily in souther\nCalifornia, with one major program in Sacramento covering five northern\ncounties.\nDr. Brian said that the Agency's goal is to sign contracts for\nenrolling one million Medi-Cal participants in PHPs by July, 1973.\n\"In view of the time it took to get the welfare and Medi-Cal Reform\nprograms into actual operation, it is a wonder that we have come as far as\nwe have in making these systems responsive to the needs of those unable to\ncare for themselves and to the fiscal necessities of this state and its\ntaxpayers. I look forward to the day when our welfare system will support\nonly the truly needy and the helpless, and the caseload lines on the\nwelfare charts will match the ups and downs of our economy, Dr. Brian\nsaid.\n######\nGray\n- 4 -\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California 95814\nEd Gray, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n9-29-72\n#547\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nOctober 2, 1972\nthrough\nOctober 8, 1972\nMonday, October 2\nHouston Visit\n5:00 p.m.\nPress Availability, Hobbie Airport\n6:00 p.m.\nReception by Houston civic leaders,\nRamada Club, Main and Lemar Streets.\nBrief remarks.\n7:00 p.m.\nVisit to Nixon Headquarters, 2600 Southwest\nFreeway.
