1Opinion of the Court

PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:

Regina Vierra received benefits under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. Because of circumstances beyond her control, she filed a required form one business day late. The State of Hawaii, which administers this cooperative federal-state program through its Department of Social Services, disqualified Vierra from one month’s benefits because of the one day delay. The district court granted summary judgment upholding the denial of benefits. Vierra appeals. We reverse and grant summary judgment for Vierra.
