KSDK -- The Missouri Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Misosuri
Family Support Division illegally calculated the Blind Pension benefit for
thousands of people.
a.. Read a copy of the ruling
The Missouri Council of the Blind joined with seven blind Missourians to
bring a lawsuit challenging the method used by the state to calculate the
pension. The plaintiffs were represented by the Law Offices of Thomas E.
Kennedy and the Saint Louis University Legal Clinic.
The case will now go to the Circuit Court of Cole County to be consider
conducting an accounting with regard to back benefits blind Missourians are
owed. The estimated amount could be between $14 and $40 million.
Approximately 3,000 Missourians collect the pension.
