<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A question was asked at our State Convention
whether individuals receiving Supplemental Aid to the Blind and Aid to the Blind
Conversion would be entitled to any increase in benefits regarding the Blind
Pension litigation as those who are on the Blind Pension roll.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here's Debbie Greider's response to the
question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks to Bev Armstrong for putting forth the
question to Debbie and Debbie's quick response.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Yes. SAB and AB Conversion recipients
are all members of the class. To the extent<BR>that BP recipients were
underpaid, so were the other class members. So, by way of<BR>example, if
BP recipients were underpaid $4.00 a month for the year 2001, so were<BR>all the
class members. Everyone who was underpaid will have a claim for each
pension<BR>month they were underpaid. If they were enrolled for 12 months
in a given year,<BR>they would have 12 pension months of underpayment no matter
which program they were<BR>in. If they were enrolled for 6 months, they
would have 6 pension months of underpayment<BR>no matter which program they were
in. So all program recipients will benefit from<BR>the lawsuit.
