The Commissioner of Social Services, notwithstanding any other provision of law, may selectively increase or decrease the level of certain assistance payments in any of the public assistance programs when necessary to correct an inequity or to comply with state or federal law or regulation. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit the commissioner to increase or decrease the standards of assistance payments affecting all or most public assistance recipients in any category of public assistance.
