DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The petitioner contends that the determination of the New York Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (hereinafter the OTDA), after a hearing, erroneously denied her foster care benefits for services which she had provided to her nephew. The Supreme Court initially agreed with the petitioner and, pursuant to a determination dated December 3, 1998, the parties were directed to settle a judgment annulling the determination and remitting the matter to OTDA to calculate the amount of foster care payments to be paid to her. The State of New York, on behalf of the respondent New York State Department of Social Services, moved to vacate the December 3, 1998, determination on the ground of lack of jurisdiction.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, the Supreme Court properly concluded that the OTDA was a necessary party to this proceeding because the petitioner was seeking to review a determination made after a hearing conducted by the OTDA underSocial Services Law § 22 (see, Matter of Rego Park Nursing Home v. State of New York, Dept. of Health/Bureau of Residential Health Care Facility Reimbursement, 160 A.D.2d 923, affd 77 N.Y.2d 942 ), and was also seeking to recover payment from that State agency (see,Matter of Aroune v. Sipprell, 36 A.D.2d 888, affd 33 N.Y.2d 844 ). Although it is well settled that, as a general rule, proof of proper mailing gives rise to a presumption that the item was received by the addressee (see, Rodriquez v. Wing, 251 A.D.2d 335 ;Matter of Rosa v. Board of Examiners of City of N.Y., 143 A.D.2d 351 ), the respondent successfully rebutted that presumption by submitting evidence that the notice and petition were mistitled and mailed to the wrong address (see, Matter of Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 922 ;Jeraci v. Froehlich, 129 A.D.2d 557 ).
