In the Landmark Case of Goldberg V

In the landmark case of Goldberg v. Kelly , Kelly was a New York City resident receiving welfare aid under the federal program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) . The New York City Social Service agency terminated her benefits. The agency told Goldberg that she could request a formal hearing after her benefits were terminated. She sued claiming she had a right to a hearing before her AFDC benefits were terminated. The U.S. Supreme Court held

A) as welfare benefits provide food, clothing, and shelter, Kelly had a "due process" right to a hearing before termination.
B) as welfare benefits are not a property owned by Kelly, she did not have a right to a hearing prior to the revocation of welfare benefits.
C) that Kelly had a right to a hearing before the Supreme Court before welfare benefits could be denied.
D) that Kelly had a right to a hearing 30 days after the termination of welfare benefits to determine if the agency had applied the qualification rules correctly.
