The Indiana Public Welfare Act of 1936 made Indiana eligible to receive grants-in-aid from the federal government for aid to the aged, the blind, and dependent children. The Indiana General Assembly established the State Department of Public Welfare to supervise the programs. Additionally, the duties and responsibilities formerly delegated to the Board of State Charities were transferred to the new state department.
