THE COURT.
Respondents Secretaryand Director have filed a petition for rehearing and petitioners have filed a reply. Notwithstanding the care taken by this court to distinguish between the basic grants payable to recipients without special needs and the maximum grants payable to those with special needs (ante, p. 450), the petitioners evince the erroneous belief that commencing January 1974, all recipients in the affected programs will receive maximum grants, i.e., the amounts payable to those with special needs, minus the former federal contribution. No change in law has abolished the distinction between the benefit levels applicable to those with special needs and to those without. To place the matter beyond all doubt, let us express it thusly: In January 1974, a recipient will receive, from the state-county system, a grant equal in amount to one-half of that which he would have received had H.R. 1 not been enacted.
