COURTHOUSE,
March 21 – In a long-standing
Federal class action against
NYC Human Resources
Administration, on March 21
plaintiffs argued to get
better data of people eligible
for emergency SNAP aid who do
not in fact receive it,
sometimes for failing or being
unable to follow though on the
application process.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
hearing. Inner City Press was
there.
Judge
Liman asked if in the old days
of brick and mortar HRA
offices taking the
application, if a person left
before the interview would
they have been considered to
have applied?
Yes, the
plaintiffs' lawyer said.
At defense
table, HRA's General Counsel
shook her head.
In the
docket is the City's proposed
Corrective Action Plan. Inner
City Press will continue to
follow the case.
It is
Reynolds, et al., v. Giuliani,
et al., 98-cv-8877 (Liman)
