91 ADM-3: Fuel Allowances for Dependent Children Residing with Self-Maintaining Non-Legally Responsible Caretakers (McMullen v. Perales, et al.)
|
I. PURPOSE This is to advise you that in the matter of McMullen v. Perales, et al. Federal District Court has declared unconstitutional the Department's policy of denying fuel for heating allowances to dependent children in receipt of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) and residing with self-maintaining caretakers who are not their parents or step-parents. As a result of the court decision and order, this Department and local social services districts are responsible for prospective action and for providing retroactive corrective payments back to April 1986.
