Pennsylvania Ends Disability Aid for Mentally Ill
Pennsylvania continues to hack away at social services for its poorest citizens.
This week, the Department of Public Welfare ended a program that expedited the process of getting Social Security disability payments to low-income, disabled women suffering from mental illness.
The move came just weeks after Pennsylvania abolished its General Assistance Cash Grant program, which provided $200 per month to people with no other sources of income.
