Administrative History

The "separation system" installed in local Social Service offices from 1969-1971 was designed to separate the two major tasks of public assistance: determination of eligibility for financial assistance and the actual provision of social services such as clothing, shelter, and other basic human needs. Implementation involved structural reorganization of local social service departments, drastic revision of procedures, and changes in staff assignments. Planning for the system began in 1967 and the first demonstrations started in 1969.
