[real-eyes] very important notice for the blind of Missouri

The following is for blind Missouri residents who receive the blind pension 
or other Missouri state aid money.
Hi Listers:



Please read the following very carefully and share with other blind people 
you know.



VERY IMPORTANT!



According to our attorney very soon the Missouri Department of Social 
Services will be sending a notice to all recipients of the Blind Pension, 
Supplemental Aid to the Blind and Conversion Aid to the Blind.



This notice is being sent as a result of the judge handling MCB?s Blind 
Pension lawsuit making the decision to Certify the Class.



This notice will be sent to all those who have been on the roles for one of 
the three above-mentioned programs since 1992.



It is not necessary that you respond to this notice.



Everyone stands to gain from this action.  NO ONE WILL LOSE THEIR GRANTS NOR 
WILL THE AMOUNT OF THE CHECKS BE REDUCED.  The Supplemental payments that 
have been being made from the Blind Pension Fund will have to come from 
General Revenue.  This will give more money in the Blind Pension Fund for 
Blind Pension recipients.  In so doing S.A.B. and Conversion A.B. recipients 
will receive larger payments since the state must pay those recipients an 
equal amount to that of Blind Pension grants.  This is in accordance with 
Chapter 208 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri.



It is my understanding that some erroneous information has been given to 
some blind citizens.  Please do not be guided by that information.



Again, you do not need to respond to the notice that you will receive from 
the Department of Social Services.



If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to call me at 
the MCB office.  Our local number is:  314-832-7172 or toll free 
800-342-5632.
