The purpose of this release is to advise social services districts of the decision in Ruiz v. Blum (549 F. Supp. 871; USDC:SDNY). The court in this case held that children are the primary beneficiaries of day care benefits and that a child who is otherwise eligible for day care benefits cannot be denied such benefits because the parents of the child are aliens who are unlawfully residing in the United States or because the parents fail to furnish evidence that they are lawfully residing in the United States. In addition, the release discusses an issue related to the Ruiz decision. The issue concerns the ability of social services districts to require that persons who apply for a social service must disclose their Social Security numbers before such service can be provided. This requirement is contained in 18 NYCRR 404.1(c)(4).
