SNAP benefits — Reporting income — Intentionality
Williams v. Guinn
TP 25-00862
Transferred from Supreme Court, Erie County
Background: The petitioner appealed from a determination that she committed an intentional program violation of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by failing to report her daughter’s employment income when she applied for recertification.
Ruling: The Appellate Division confirmed. The court noted that it was established that the petitioner knew she was to disclose all income of everyone living with her and she only disclosed her own income. It is readily inferable that she acted intentionally.
Larry E. Waters Jr., of Neighborhood Legal Services, for the petitioner; Brian Lusignan, of the NYS office of the Attorney General, for the respondent.
