Reagan's budget will affect WASHINGTON (AP) ? With impacts ranging from dimes to 1 thousands of dollars, President Ronald Reagan's budget will I reach out and change the lives and finances of millions of Americans?students and the elderly, veterans and i housewives, doctors and lawyers.

Those changes would cost about 3v. 0 students their grants. In addition, all students would be required to show financial need to receive government-guaranteed loans. Currently, only f those from families with incomes of more than $30,000 are required to demonstrate financial need. For the elderly person paying for supplemental health insurance, Reagan's budget would mean 40 more cents every month in premiums, going from $17.30 to $17.70.

Reagan proposed that non-working spouses be allowed to set aside up to $2,000 a year in an Individual Retirement Account, far more than the current $250 limit. And divorced women would be able to count alimony payments to qualify for IRAs as well. Two Drofessional Rrouns?doctors and lawyers?would face some changes under Reagan's budget. Doctors' fees under Medicare would be frozen at July 1984 levels, if Congress goes along with Reagan's plans. And the Republican incumbent is continuing his efforts to kill the Legal Services Administration, which provides legal advice to the poor. That agency has been a thorn in Reagan's side since he was governor of California. Even the average taxpayer and worker faces changes if the president's plans go into effect. There will be more scrutinity from the Internal Revenue Service, which wants to go over 1.5 million income tax returns with a fine-tooth comb in the coming fiscal year, up from about 1.4 million.
