http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86144279

The Dept. of Public Welfare has the responsibility to provide and administer a comprehensive public welfare financial assistance program (MGLA c 18 s 2). Memorandums issued by the federal Social Security Administration's Bureau of Public Assistance through 1958 and after that by the administration proper notified the department of changes in policy and procedures affecting the administration of federally-funded public assistance plans. Files of such notifications for 1950-1952 were maintained by the department's Division of Aid and Relief and from 1953 by its successor the Division of Public Assistance.
