Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • \an inconsistent position alone is not enough to require this Court to give less deference to the Secretary's definition of available income.\
  • “an inconsistent position alone is not enough to require this Court to give less deference to the Secretary’s definition of available income.”
  • “[w]hen Congress spoke of actually available income, it indicated its concern about the unfounded attribution of income from relatives” never received by needy individuals, a “prevalent state practice” at time
  • inclusion of child support payments in “available” income is “reasonable attempt to interpret and apply all sections of the statute”; Secretary’s interpretation “is not at odds with the plain meaning of the statute, is reasonable, and should therefore be accorded the usual deference”
