New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Rebecca Jones
June 9, 197537 N.Y.2d 42
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that subdivision (c) of 18 NYCRR 372.2, which bars emergency assistance when destitution results from loss, theft, or diversion of a prior grant, conflicts with Social Services Law § 350‑j and is therefore invalid, and ordered the State Commissioner to adopt expedited hearing procedures for emergency assistance within 60 days.
