California Supreme Court limits adult liability for welfare support
The court ruled adults cannot be forced to reimburse counties for welfare if the parent owns substantial property. In a San Mateo case, Lawrence Boss was sued for 20 dollars a month to support his mother, Joanna Boss, who received 117 dollars aid and 65 dollars Social Security. The decision upholds aid to the aged as a valid state function and notes the state bears expenses.
