Description
The Secretary of Health and Human Services appeals from a judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Jack B. Weinstein, Chief Judge) invalidating a procedure used by the Social Security Administration ("SSA") in the determination of original and continuing eligibility of claimants for disability benefits. City of New York v. Heckler, 578 F. Supp. 1109 (E.D.N.Y. 1984). The ruling affects a class of persons with severe mental illnesses. The class is estimated to include more than 50,000 New York residents. The Secretary raises no challenge on appeal to the District Courts invalidation of the challenged procedure, which has since been abandoned. However, the appeal presents substantial and complicated issues concerning the jurisdiction of the District Court to adjudicate the class members challenge and to award relief. For reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.
