Check Not in the Mail
- Share via
Los Angeles County welfare officials will begin distributing checks in person today, rather than by mail, to women receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The new program, which requires recipients to come to one of 44 designated retail outlets, was adopted because so many checks were being lost or stolen in the mail. Checks are being distributed on a Sunday because it is the first day of the month. More than 300,000 people in the county receive AFDC.
