44:8-125. Deductions from public assistance
19. The fact that an applicant for public assistance or any of his dependents shall be receiving, or entitled to receive, income from other sources or compensation for part-time or casual services shall not make such person ineligible to receive public assistance if such income or compensation is insufficient to support him and his dependents properly but the amount of such income or compensation shall be taken into consideration in determining the amount of his public assistance by deducting from the amount of public assistance which he otherwise would be entitled to receive, the amount of such income or compensation; except that any money received because of a settlement agreement or judgment in a lawsuit brought against a manufacturer or distributor of "Agent Orange" for damages resulting from exposure to "Agent Orange" shall not reduce the amount of public assistance received by the applicant and shall not be subject to a lien or be available for repayment to the State, county or municipality for public assistance received by the applicant.
