Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (N.Y.)

The New York Court of Appeals denied Fair Labor Standards Act claims by work experience program participants who alleged that New York’s practice of recouping interim assistance from their retroactive SSI awards violated minimum wage requirements, ruling that petitioners received both minimum wage for their work and all amounts they were entitled to under federal law, so the reimbursement didn’t result in any cognizable loss.
