OPINION OF THE COURT
Kaye, J.
Plaintiffs, a putative class of infant children of minor mothers residing with the mothers’ parents, challenge the constitutionality of Social Services Law § 131-c (2) — the "grandparent-deeming” rule — which requires that a portion of the grandparents’ income be deemed available to the infants in determining their eligibility for Home Relief payments. We agree with the trial court and Appellate Division that the statute is valid under both State and Federal Constitutions.
