Notes of Decisions

Regulations under this statute, in so far as they impose greater burdens on welfare recipients than do federal statutes, are preempted by federal laws. Bueno v. Juras, 349 F Supp 91 (1972)

Regulations under this statute that provide for termination of welfare benefits during harvest season when farmers made blanket job offers held to be violation of federal law. Bueno v. Juras, 349 F Supp 91 (1972)

Where Adult and Family Services Division had not adopted rule defining “good cause” for refusing employment, division lacked authority to suspend ADC assistance to recipient who failed to report to job when he was referred by Employment Division. Ortiz v. Adult & Family Services Div., 45 Or App 925, 609 P2d 1309 (1980)
