§ 131-r. Liability for reimbursement of public assistance benefits. 1.
Any person who is receiving or has received, within the previous ten
years, public assistance pursuant to the provisions of this article, and
who wins a lottery prize of six hundred dollars or more shall reimburse
the department from the winnings, for all such public assistance
benefits paid to such person during the previous ten years; provided,
however, that such crediting to the department shall in no event exceed
fifty percent of the amount of the lottery prize. The commissioner shall
enter into an agreement with the director of the lottery, pursuant to
section sixteen hundred thirteen-b of the tax law, for the crediting of
lottery prizes against public assistance benefits. Nothing herein shall
limit the ability of a social services district to make recoveries
pursuant to section 104 or section 106-b of this chapter.

2. Any inconsistent provision of this chapter or of any other law
notwithstanding, a social services official may not assert any claim
under any provision of this chapter to recover payments of public
assistance if such payments were reimbursed by child support
collections.
