Description
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the respondent State commissioner, dated May 21, 1976 and made after a statutory fair hearing, which affirmed a determination of the respondent Commissioner of the Nassau County Department of Social Services terminating a grant of aid to dependent children to the petitioner and her children. Determination annulled, on the law, without costs or disbursements, and matter remitted to the State Department of Social Services for a de novo hearing and a new determination. The grant in question was terminated on the ground that the petitioner was the registered owner of two automobiles, a 1970 Dodge and a 1974 Oldsmobile, and had declined to utilize their value toward the support of herself and her minor children. The petitioner alleges that the 1970 Dodge is owned and controlled by her son. The local agency has conceded that one automobile is essential to the petitioner for health reasons and is not a resource available to her for sale. However the agency did not specify its reason for choosing the Dodge instead of the Oldsmobile to satisfy the petitioner's needs. The petitioner contends that the 1970 Dodge is owned and controlled by her adult son. Thus, the sale of the 1974 Oldsmobile could leave her without an automobile for her necessary transportation. The record does not establish by substantial evidence that the petitioner is the owner of the 1970 Dodge and that the 1974 Oldsmobile is not essential to her health and living requirements (see Matter of Knowles v Lavine, 34 N.Y.2d 721, 722; Matter of Wilson v Berger, 52 A.D.2d 586). In any event, the petitioner's failure to comply with the demand of the local agency could not serve to deprive her children of the assistance they were entitled to receive as the record does not indicate a present lack of need (see Matter of Ryan v New York State Dept. of Social Servs., 40 A.D.2d 867; Matter of Zabala v Lavine, 48 A.D.2d 880, 881). Rabin, Acting P. J., Shapiro, Titone and O'Connor, @j., concur.
