New York Social Services Law Section 152-A - Burial reserves for certain recipients of public assistance or care from assigned assets.

  152-a.  Burial reserves for certain recipients of public assistance
  or  care from assigned assets. When other  provisions  of  this  chapter
  providing    for  reserving  an  amount for the burial of a recipient of
  public assistance  or care, from assets transferred  or  assigned  to  a
  social  services  official,   do not apply to a recipient because of the
  category of public assistance or  care received by him or her, as in the
  case of a  recipient of safety net assistance, a similar burial  reserve
  from  assigned assets may or shall, as the regulations of the department
  may    permit or require, be set aside for such recipient; and any  such
  burial    reserve  heretofore  set  aside  with  the  approval  of   the
  department,  or in  accordance with its requirements, shall be deemed to
  have been authorized.
