Torres v. Wyman

Petitioner seeks $450 from the Department of Social Services to replace $150 in clothing, and $300 in cash allowed for the purchase of furniture, stolen during the course of a burglary of her apartment.

Said sum of $450 had been granted to her by said department as her allowance to cover a given period of time. The burglary took place on July 8, 1968, and also involved the theft of other personal property, all of which was reported to the police immediately.

After denial of her claim, petitioner requested a fair hearing. The Referee at said fair hearing likewise denied her claim.
