The Supreme Court has granted a writ of certiorari, that is it has agreed to hear, the case of U.S. v. Vaello-Madero, which presents the issue of whether it is constitutional to deny SSI benefits to U.S. citizens who reside in the territory of Puerto Rico. I don't know whether this will be argued in this term of Court. If it's too late for this term, it will be heard in the next term, which always begins on the first Monday in October.
Both of the granted writs of certiorari are actually Social Security cases.
ReplyDeleteBabcock vs Saul apparently will finally settle the issue of dual status technicians towards the application of WEP (there was a circuit split - 8th for and 6th/11th against).
