Before Judges MATTHEWS, SEIDMAN and HORN.


The opinion of the court was delivered by MATTHEWS, P.J.A.D.

The single issue with which we deal in these cases is whether a county welfare board, which has terminated or reduced a recipient's grant to public assistance, available through the program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), may obtain judicial review from a final fair hearing of the Division of Public Welfare in which the Director reversed or revised the decision of the board.
