OMM/OCFS/OTDA Materials: LCMs From DSS 1995

95 LCM-112: Gomprecht v. Sabol et al - Court-ordered Support in Spousal Impoverishment Cases
As informed by GIS 95MA029, in the matter of Gomprecht v. Sabol et al, the State of New York Court of Appeals ruled that the Family Court, when awarding support on behalf of a non-institutionalized community spouse, is required to link the Family Court award to the spousal amount as determined pursuant to Section 366-c of Social Services Law. Therefore, the Family Court must apply the minimum monthly needs standard, absent a showing of exceptional circumstances, to determine the award.
