Mathews v. Eldridge | |
Court | Supreme Court of the United States |
---|---|
Citation | |
Date decided | February 24, 1976 |
Facts
Eldridge received Social Security disability benefits.
Procedural History
Eldridge (plaintiff) files a federal lawsuit because his disability benefits were terminated without a hearing (due process).
F. David Mathews (defendant) was the 11th US Secretary of Health and Human Services (1975 - 1977).Issues
To act in accordance with the due process clause, is an administrative hearing necessary prior to the termination of Social Security disability benefits?
Holding
The medical report showing that Eldridge is no longer disabled is sufficient for terminating his disability benefits; Eldridge's due process rights weren't violated in the absence of a termination hearing.
Rule
The Mathews test involves
- the private interest affected by the official action;
- the risk of erroneous deprivation
- the government’s interest.
