Book Description
Excerpt from Social Security Yearbook for the Calendar Year 1942 As a rule, physical and mental handicaps develop in middle or later life. Some persons, however, because of congenital defects or injury in childhood are never able to take a place in the labor force and so to participate in any available provision for insurance against disability. Blind ness is the only handicap save age now recognized as ground for federal-state public assistance; young and middle-aged persons crippled by heart defects, tuberculosis, arthritis, and the like receive no share of Federal funds for aid to the needy unless the family qualifies for aid to depend ent children. General assistance, which could meet the basic needs of these groups, is without Federal participation and is inadequate or lacking in many parts of the country.
