UIC claimants increase 76% in Bruce
Bruce social services administrator Dick
Verrips is concerned that welfare rolls may
increase significantly this winter because
Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIC)
will run out and UIC recipients will be forced
to seek welfare assistance. Heavy layoffs last
fall will account for a swelling in the welfare
rolls this fail as UIC benefits discontinue
after one year.
Verrips cannot anticipate whether Bruce
county will be affected in this way but he is
concerned. The number of UiClclaimants in
the county has increased 76 per cent
between August 'of 1981 and August of this
year. Some of these claimants will find work
and some are second wage earners in the
family who will not be eligible for welfare
when their UIC benefits discontinue.
It is impossible, says Verrips, to anticipate
how -much the welfare rolls will affected.
The number of welfare recipients has
increased in excess of 30 'per cent in the past
year. Fifty per cent of the increase are
considered employable recipients with no
previous record on welfare.
There are jobs available in the county,
says Verrips, and there is no one municip-
ality in the county which is considered to be
a pocket of unemployment. The unemploy-
ment problem is, distributed throughout ,the
county. '•
It's an employers' market. says Verrips,
with fierce competition for the jobs avail-
able.
People are finding work and leaving the
welfare rolls however. The monthly total of
recipients has decreased each month since
February, .even though the percentage of
people applying for welfare is increasing.
Verrips expects this will change in Septem-
ber however, which is the beginning of the
fall and winter season when traditionally
unemployment is higher.
Social services has found work for some 25
people through the Ontario Unemployment
incentive Program which offers grants to
municipalities, if they create work for people
who are unemployed, repairing or renova-
ting public property.
Bruce count;; hired ore additional fulltime
social worker in December 1981 to help with
the increase in caseloads:
Bruce is still enjoying a heaithy position
