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 "'iirr* to pale 4.
