See text. Sources U.S. Social Security Administration, Social Security Bulletin, Annual Statistical Supplement (1975), Table 175, and Social Security Bulletin, Annual Statistical Supplement (1966), Table 113. For years 1933–1935: Social Security Bulletin 14 (9) (1951): 43. Documentation Prior to 1935 public assistance was a state and local responsibility. After the Social Security Administration Act of 1935, assistance programs financed in part by federal grants-in-aid were in effect on a statewide basis in 1936 in forty-two states for Old-Age Assistance, twenty-seven states for Aid to Dependent Children, and twenty-five states for Aid to the Blind. Programs have been in effect in the forty-eight contiguous states and the District of Columbia beginning 1938 for Old-Age Assistance, 1955 for Aid to Dependent Children, and 1953 for Aid to the Blind. Approval of the first plans for Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled was effective October 1950 and, in 1957, forty-four states and the District of Columbia were participating. Assistance payments for all the previously mentioned programs were still financed in part from federal funds and, with the exception of Nevada (Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled), these programs were in effect in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands until 1974. General assistance, provided from state or local funds or both, is available to certain other categories of needy persons in all fifty-four jurisdictions. Beginning in the Social Security Bulletin, Annual Statistical Supplement (1976), p. 200, data on the Public Assistance programs were reported from a different source, and the new series reported were considered not comparable with the previously listed series. See Table Bf634–648 for modern information on these programs back to 1960 and for 1955, 1950, 1945, 1940, and 1936. Series Bf630. Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients include children and one or both parents, or one caretaker relative other than a parent, in families in which the requirements of such adults were considered in determining the amount of assistance. The figure is partially estimated before 1950. The program for Aid to Dependent Children began paying benefits to support payments for a mother or other relative caring for the child in 1950. Under the Public Welfare Amendments of 1962, the program was renamed Aid to Families with Dependent Children to reflect expanded coverage of the adults caring for the dependent children. The AFDC and the Emergency Assistance programs have been replaced by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The Act was designed to limit the length of time that families could receive assistance and promote a return to the work force by those who are able. Series Bf632. Partly estimated. For certain periods, the series excludes data for Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, and Vermont. The number of recipients in 1933–1935 was not reported, but the number of cases was 3.246 million in 1933, 5.368 million in 1934, 2.89 million in 1935, and 1.51 million in 1936. Series Bf621–623 and Bf626–628. Beginning in 1974, includes only Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, because the Old-Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind, and Totally Disabled programs for the United States were superceded by Supplementary Security Income, except in those territories. Series Bf626–633. In December. Series Bf630. The original source may contain a typographical error for 1958 because the percentage of recipients who are children – series Bf631 divided by series Bf630 – is unusually high. The value reported here is believed to be true.
