Shedrick v. Department of Social Welfare

Allen, C J.

The Department of Social Welfare (DSW) appeals from three decisions of the Human Services Board declaring that, for food stamp eligibility purposes, a husband, wife and their minor children constitute a separate household from an adult child of one of the spouses living in the same household.

We therefore reverse.
