Gilliam v. Weinberger

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

HERMANSDORFER, District Judge.

This action seeks through Summary Judgment proceedings review of a final decision of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare denying the plaintiff’s claim for children’s insurance benefits for his granddaughter, Carolyn Ann Gilliam, under 42 U.S.C. § 402(d). Jurisdiction is found under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

Although 42 U.S.C. § 402(d) was recently amended, Morris v. Weinberger, 410 U.S. 422, 93 S.Ct. 1408, 35 L.Ed.2d 394 (1973), those amendments are not relevant to this action as the application was filed prior to October, 1972.…
