Summary
holding that New York's welfare laws and regulations requiring welfare recipients in certain instances to repay the cost of assistance benefits if they are discovered to have property, recover for injuries in a lawsuit or are entitled to insurance proceeds, are not inconsistent with Social Security provisions which grant aid to families with dependent children to enable recipients of assistance "to attain or retain capability for * * * maximum self-support and personal independence." 42 U.S.C. § 601
