Stephens v. McMahon

Superseded by regulations effective August 1, 1986

Issue

A court judgment was issued which required the Department to define one-time “windfall” payments as RESOURCES rather than income. Such “windfall” payments were not, therefore, subject to lump sum income regulations.

Date of Judgment

November 8, 1984

Retroactivity

Actions related to lump sums between October 1, 1984, and July 31, 1986, reflected the court's directive to count “windfall” payments as a resource rather than as lump sum income.

Duration

The Stephens court injunction is no longer applicable effective August 1, 1986.
