As of Tuesday the new regulations stipulate that welfare eligibility workers must require further verification, Cooper said. Items which an applicant may use include a Social Security card or driving license, a W 2 withholding form or a termination slip from an employer and a report card or other such materials verifying school attendance of the child.

Hose said the state presently has no recourse under federal regulations for computer or other errors on overpayments on welfare. He . said the state has asked federal officials to this matter.

Authorization for hiring 40 additional workers, in assistance payments to help solve the state problem in welfare has been sought in a departenment recommendation dorsed by Gov. Calvin L.
