United States Department of Agriculture v. Moreno case brief

United States Department of Agriculture v. Moreno (1973)


Ct held that the “statutory classification…[regarding food stamps] is clearly irrelevant to the stated purposes of the Act,” which was essentially to help the hungry. Originally, households were excluded from participation in the Food Stamp Act if they had one or more unrelated person living in the household.

Rehnquist, Burger (dissenting)
: Relied on Dandridge v. Williams, which upheld a state limit on the amount of welfare a single family could receive.
