authorized to be paid as hereinafter provided, to the respective public
officers and for the several purposes specified.
b) Where applicable, appropriations made by this chapter for expendi-
tures from federal grants for aid to localities may be allocated for
spending from federal grants for any grant period beginning, during, or
prior to, the state fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2025 except as
otherwise noted.
c) The several amounts named herein, or so much thereof as shall be
sufficient to accomplish the purpose designated, being the undisbursed
and/or unexpended balances of the prior year's appropriations, are here-
by reappropriated from the same funds and made available for the same
purposes as the prior year's appropriations, unless herein amended, for
the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. Certain reappropriations in

change is clearly indicated by the use of brackets [] for deletions and
underscores for additions, the purposes, amounts, funding source and all
other aspects pertinent to each item of appropriation shall be as last

For the purpose of complying with the state finance law, the year,
chapter and section of the last act reappropriating a former original
appropriation or any part thereof is, unless otherwise indicated, chap-
ter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2024.
d) No moneys appropriated by this chapter shall be available for
payment until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director
of the budget, who shall file such certificate with the department of
audit and control, the chairperson of the senate finance committee and
the chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee.
e) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, for purposes
of any appropriation made by this chapter which authorizes spending in
an amount net of refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments,
and/or disallowances, "refunds" shall mean funds received to the state
resulting from the overpayment of monies, "rebates" shall mean funds
received to the state resulting from a return of a full or partial
amount previously paid, as for goods or services, serving as a
reduction, discount or rebate to the original payment amount,
"reimbursements" shall mean funds received to the state as repayment in

ble and/or valid. When the office of the state comptroller receives any
such refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments, and/or
disallowances, he or she shall credit the refunded, rebated, reimbursed,
credited, repaid, and disallowed amount back to the original appropri-
ation and reduce expenditures in the year which such credit is received

materially and substantially participate in operating a farm within
the state and may include urban farmers. Grants shall be awarded on

such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, compre-
hensive after-school programs, or extended school year programs; (2)

ing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care.
Provided that, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,

factor.
(2) The "learning loss wealth factor" shall be equal to the positive
difference, if any, of 0.75 less the product of 0.5 multiplied by
the combined wealth ratio computed pursuant to subparagraph 1 of
paragraph c of subdivision 3 of section 3602 of education law.

divided by the statewide average modified EN percent, provided that
for the 2021-22 school year, the statewide average modified EN
percent shall be equal to 0.5565.

divided by public school district enrollment for the base year
computed pursuant to paragraph n of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of
education law.
(5) The "modified EN count" shall equal the sum of (a) the product of
0.5 multiplied by the English language learner count computed pursu-
ant to paragraph o of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of education
law, plus (b) the sparsity count computed pursuant to paragraph r of
subdivision 1 of section 3602 of education law, plus (c) the product

poverty estimate rate computed pursuant to paragraph mm of subdivi-
sion 1 of section 3602 of education law and multiplied further by
public school district enrollment for the base year as computed
pursuant to paragraph n of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of educa-
tion law, plus (d) the product of 0.65 multiplied by the 3-year
average economically disadvantaged rate defined pursuant to para-
graph ll of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of education law and
multiplied further by public school district enrollment for the base
year as computed pursuant to paragraph n of subdivision 1 of section
3602 of education law.
Provided further that districts receiving learning loss grants shall
use (a) 14.286 percent of such grants for implementation of
evidence-based summer enrichment programs; (b) 14.286 percent for
implementation of evidence-based comprehensive after-school
programs; and (c) the remaining funds for activities to address
learning loss by supporting the implementation of evidence-based
interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment,
extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school
year programs. School districts shall ensure that such interventions
respond to students' academic, social, and emotional needs and
address the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on low-income
students, children with disabilities, English learners, migrant
students, students experiencing homelessness, and children in foster
care.
(ii) $160,000,000 for new full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergar-

appropriation:

day prekindergarten programs funded by grants pursuant to section
3602-ee of education law in the 2019-20 school year. If such prelim-
inary slot count is less than 10, the expansion slots shall be 0; if
such preliminary slot count is greater than or equal to 10 but less
than 20, the expansion slots shall be 20; for all other eligible
districts, the expansion slots shall equal the preliminary slot
count.
(2) For the 2021-22 school year, school districts shall be eligible
for a grant amount if (1) the combined wealth ratio computed pursu-
ant to subparagraph 1 of paragraph c of subdivision 3 of section

at when dividing (i) the sum of (a) full day and half day 4-year-old
prekindergarten pupils served in the 2019-20 school year served
pursuant to section 3602-e of education law plus (b) students served
in full-day prekindergarten programs funded by grants pursuant to
section 3602-ee of education law in the 2019-20 school year by (ii)
unserved four-year-old prekindergarten pupils calculated pursuant to
subparagraph iv of paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602-e
of education law is less than 0.5.
(3) Maintenance of Effort. Where a school district serves fewer
4-year-old prekindergarten pupils in full-day programs funded by the
Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion pursuant to
this appropriation than the number of expansion slots as defined in
this appropriation, the school district shall have its current year
Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion payment
reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Full-day
4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion multiplied by (ii)
the quotient of 4-year-old prekindergarten pupils served in programs
funded by the Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expan-
sion divided by the number of expansion slots. Provided that funds
provided pursuant to this appropriation shall only be used to
supplement and not supplant current local expenditures of state or
local funds on prekindergarten programs.
(4) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, for the
purposes of determining the prekindergarten allocation on the elec-
tronic data file prepared by the commissioner pursuant to subdivi-
sion 21 of section 305 of education law for the 2021-22 school year,
the commissioner is directed to include the grant amounts awarded

a social services district located within
a city having a population of one million
or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

reimburse social services districts for
the change in the maximum state aid rates
established by the office of children and
family services for the 2025-26 rate year
pursuant to section 398-a of the social
services law and sections 4003 and 4405 of

tion of the cost of living adjustments
that became effective April 1, 2008 for
payments made to foster parents and for
salary and fringe benefit costs and other
critical nonpersonal services costs for
foster care programs as determined by the
office. Social services districts must
adjust the amount of payments made for
care provided by congregate care and
foster boarding home programs and to
foster parents to reflect the cost of
living adjustments in the manner specified
by the office. Each authorized agency
operating a congregate care or foster
boarding home program in New York state
for which the office sets a maximum state
aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the
social services law or section 4003 or
4405 of the education law shall submit, at
the time and in a manner to be determined
by the office, a written certification,
397 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
attesting that the funds received for the
continuation of the cost of living adjust-
ment to the maximum state aid rate that
became effective April 1, 2008 for that
program will be or were used solely in
accordance with the requirements of the
cost of living adjustment established by
the office.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law including, but not limited to, any
chapter of the laws of 2025 which enacts a
targeted inflationary increase for the
state fiscal year beginning on April 1,
2025, the commissioner shall continue to
apply any cost of living adjustment
increase in effect on March 31, 2025 for
the entire rate year that began when such
cost of living adjustment increase was in
effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
provision of law, the commissioner shall
apply a 2.1 percent targeted inflationary
increase for the rate year that begins on
July 1, 2025 for the purposes of estab-
lishing rates of payments, contracts, or
any other form of reimbursement, provided
that this shall not prevent the commis-
sioner from applying additional trend or
staff retention factors for this program.
Within the amounts appropriated herein,
state reimbursement to each social
services district for services identified
herein that are otherwise reimbursable by
the state from April 1, 2025 through March
31, 2026 shall be limited to a district
allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
district's block grant allocation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, such block grant allocation shall be
based, in part, on each district's claims
for such costs, adjusted by the applicable
cost allocation methodology and net of any
retroactive payments for the 12 month
period ending June 30, 2024 that are
submitted on or before January 2, 2025
and, in part, on such other factors as
determined by the office of children and
family services and approved by the direc-
tor of the budget. Any portion of a social
services district's allocation from funds
appropriated herein not claimed by such
district during the state fiscal year may
398 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
be used by such district for expenditures
on preventive services provided pursuant
to section 409-a of the social services
law, independent living services and
aftercare services provided pursuant to
regulations of the department of family
assistance, claimed by such district
during the next state fiscal year up to
the amount remaining from the district's
foster care block grant allocation,
provided however, that any claims for such
services during the next state fiscal year
in excess of such amount shall be subject
to 62 percent state reimbursement exclu-
sive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with
directives of the department of family
assistance and subject to the approval of
the director of the budget. Any claims
submitted by a social services district
for reimbursement for a particular state
fiscal year for which the social services
district does not receive state or federal
reimbursement during that state fiscal
year may not be claimed against that
district's block grant apportionment for
the next state fiscal year.
The office of children and family services,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share
decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care
services identified herein. The office,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share of
disallowances or sanctions taken against
the district pursuant to the social
services law or federal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the state shall not be responsible for
reimbursing a social services district and
a district shall not seek state reimburse-
ment for any portion of any state disal-
lowance or sanction taken against the
social services district, or any federal
disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on
or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
ance or sanction results from the failure
399 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
of the social services district to comply
with federal or state requirements,
including, but not limited to, failure to
document eligibility for federal or state
funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any
federal disallowance for services provided
between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999
results solely from the late enactment of
the state legislation implementing the
federal adoption and safe families act,
the state shall be solely responsible for
the full amount of the disallowance or
sanction; provided, further, however, this
provision shall be deemed to apply both
prospectively and retroactively regardless
of whether such sanctions or disallowances
are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2025.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
any federal disallowance resulting from a
federal title IV-E eligibility review or
audit that uses extrapolated statistic
techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services
districts that the office of children and
family services has determined have not
complied with the title IV-E eligibility
requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with
such requirements including, but not
limited to, failing to: assess and fully
document all the criteria and have readily
available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligi-
bility for all title IV-E eligible chil-
dren within the required time frames;
claim title IV-E funding only for cases
that meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
ity criteria; and fully implement the
social services payment system on or
before April 1, 2005 for all direct and
voluntary agency foster care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
office of children and family services
shall impose on social services districts
any federal disallowance issued against
the state as a result of a federal title
IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
less of the date the children may have
entered foster care, the date the eligi-
400 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
bility or payment errors occurred, or the
filing date of any federal claims for
reimbursement; provided, however, that the
state shall be responsible for the disal-
lowed costs and expenditures related to
the placement of children in a facility
operated by the office of children and
family services, which shall be determined
in the same manner as the disallowed costs
and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York.
In order to reimburse the federal govern-
ment for the full amount of any disallow-
ance imposed on the state by the federal
administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid
any potential interest payments on such
amount, the office of children and family
services is authorized to immediately
offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total
disallowed costs based on the percentage
of applicable federal title IV-E claims
made by that district for the relevant
time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
The amount of the offset against each
district will be adjusted, if necessary,
upon completion of the disallowance allo-
cation process. The final allocation of
the amount of any federal disallowance
resulting from a title IV-E secondary
eligibility review shall be allocated
among the districts so that each district
shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's
children or cases that are determined by
the federal review to be unallowable. Each
district shall also be responsible for a
portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
lowance amount based on the relative error
rate for the district. The city of New
York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For
all social services districts other than
the city of New York, the error rate will
be based on a review conducted by the
district of a sample of children and/or
cases determined by the office of children
and family services and a re-review of a
sub-sample by the office of those children
401 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
and/or cases determined by the office. The
office of children and family services
will determine what is reasonable in
establishing the size of the sample and
sub-sample for each district. The office
of children and family services shall
notify each social services district of
the sample of children and/or cases from
the federal audit period that the social
services district must review. Any child
or case from the social services district
that was included in the federal sample
will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample
and the determination made at the federal
review regarding that child or case will
govern for the purposes of the social
services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit
the results of its review to the office of
children and family services within 60
days of receipt of the sample. The error
rate for the district will be based on the
findings of the district's review and the
office of children and family services'
re-review. If a social services district
does not complete its review within 60
days of receiving the sample from the
office of children and family services,
the office of children and family services
shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative
percentage of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims for the relevant period
as compared to applicable statewide title
IV-E claims for that period and other
circumstances that the office of children
and family services may consider in order
to allocate 100 percent of the federal
disallowance. The office of children and
family services shall apply each social
services district's error rate to the
total amount of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims including associated
administrative expenses. The resulting
dollar amounts for all of the social
services districts will be summed to
derive the total amount of title IV-E
claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
establish a disallowance percentage for
each social services district, the amount
402 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error will be divided by the
amount of statewide title IV-E claims
deemed to be in error. The resulting
disallowance percentage for each district
will be applied to the entire title IV-E
extrapolated disallowance calculated by
the federal review to determine the amount
of the extrapolated disallowance for which
the district is responsible. Each district
will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or
cases found to be in error during the
federal review. The exclusive appeal
rights for the review of the amount of the
federal disallowance assigned to each
social services district shall be pursuant
to article 78 of the civil practice law
and rules; provided, however, that in any
such action all of the social services
districts shall be joined as necessary
parties and the venue of any such action
shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social
services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time
frames shall have no right to appeal and
shall not be a necessary party to any
action brought by another social services
district.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of state aid hereto-
fore accrued or hereafter to accrue to
municipalities. Subject to the approval of
the director of the budget, such funds
shall be available to the office net of

cated to the office of temporary and disa-

for state reimbursement of eligible social services district expend-
itures for the provision and administration of foster care services
including care, maintenance, supervision, and tuition; for super-
vision of foster children placed in federally funded job corps
programs; for care, maintenance, supervision, and tuition for adju-
dicated juvenile delinquents placed in residential programs operated

the provision and administration of the kinship guardian assistance
program including kinship guardianship assistance payments and
payments for non-recurring guardianship expenses and eligible

reimbursement from the amount appropriated herein shall not be
available for tuition expenditures for foster children, including
persons in need of supervision and adjudicated juvenile delinquents,
made by a social services district located within a city having a
population of one million or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a portion of the funds are
available to reimburse social services districts for the change in
the maximum state aid rates established by the office of children
and family services for the 2024-25 rate year pursuant to section
398-a of the social services law and sections 4003 and 4405 of the
education law to reflect the continuation of the cost of living
adjustments that became effective April 1, 2008 for payments made to
foster parents and for salary and fringe benefit costs and other
critical nonpersonal services costs for foster care programs as

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law including, but not
limited to, any chapter of the laws of 2024 which enacts a cost of
living adjustment for the state fiscal year beginning on April 1,
2024, the commissioner shall continue to apply any cost of living
adjustment increase in effect on March 31, 2024 for the entire rate
year that began when such cost of living adjustment increase was in
effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the
commissioner shall apply a 2.84 percent cost of living adjustment
for the rate year that begins on July 1, 2024 for the purposes of
establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other form of
reimbursement, provided that this shall not prevent the commissioner
from applying additional trend or staff retention factors for this
program.
Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each
social services district for services identified herein that are
otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2024 through March
31, 2025 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter
referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand-
ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted
by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2023 that
are submitted on or before January 2, 2024 and, in part, on such
other factors as determined by the office of children and family
services and approved by the director of the budget. Any portion of
a social services district's allocation from funds appropriated
herein not claimed by such district during the state fiscal year may
be used by such district for expenditures on preventive services
provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-
pendent living services and aftercare services provided pursuant to
regulations of the department of family assistance, claimed by such
district during the next state fiscal year up to the amount remain-
ing from the district's foster care block grant allocation, provided
however, that any claims for such services during the next state
fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department
of family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services district for
reimbursement for a particular state fiscal year for which the
social services district does not receive state or federal
reimbursement during that state fiscal year may not be claimed
against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state
fiscal year.
The office of children and family services, with the approval of the
director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo-
cation by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care services identified herein. The
office, with the approval of the director of the budget, may reduce

ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
services law or federal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state shall not be
responsible for reimbursing a social services district and a
district shall not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after July 1, 1995,
when such disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
social services district to comply with federal or state require-
ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2024.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any federal disallowance
resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services districts that the office of
children and family services has determined have not complied with
the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the
criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligibility for all title IV-E
eligible children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
funding only for cases that meet all of the title IV-E eligibility
criteria; and fully implement the social services payment system on
or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary agency foster
care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the office of children and
family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
al disallowance issued against the state as a result of a federal
title IV-E secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or
payment errors occurred, or the filing date of any federal claims
for reimbursement; provided, however, that the state shall be
responsible for the disallowed costs and expenditures related to the
placement of children in a facility operated by the office of chil-
dren and family services, which shall be determined in the same
manner as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the
federal government for the full amount of any disallowance imposed
on the state by the federal administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid any potential interest

DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
payments on such amount, the office of children and family services
is authorized to immediately offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by that
district for the relevant time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The amount of the offset
against each district will be adjusted, if necessary, upon
completion of the disallowance allocation process. The final allo-
cation of the amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
districts so that each district shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's children or cases that are
determined by the federal review to be unallowable. Each district
shall also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
disallowance amount based on the relative error rate for the
district. The city of New York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For all social services
districts other than the city of New York, the error rate will be
based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of children
and/or cases determined by the office of children and family
services and a re-review of a sub-sample by the office of those
children and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
office of children and family services shall notify each social
services district of the sample of children and/or cases from the
federal audit period that the social services district must review.
Any child or case from the social services district that was
included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample and the determination made
at the federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
the purposes of the social services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit the results of its review
to the office of children and family services within 60 days of
receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
on the findings of the district's review and the office of children
and family services' re-review. If a social services district does
not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample from
the office of children and family services, the office of children
and family services shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to
applicable statewide title IV-E claims for that period and other
circumstances that the office of children and family services may
consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the federal disallow-
ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
486 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
another social services district.
The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state
aid heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities.
Subject to the approval of the director of the budget, such funds
shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds,
reimbursements, and credits.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the amount herein
appropriated may be transferred to any other appropriation within
the office of children and family services and/or the office of
temporary and disability assistance and/or suballocated to the
office of temporary and disability assistance for the purpose of
paying local social services districts' costs of the above program

for youth development programs unless they are submitted within
twelve months of the calendar quarter in which the expenditure was
made. The office may require that such claims be submitted to the

757 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
758 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such adjustment
to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
759 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to

laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-
ance percentage amount established pursu-
ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases, and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the
New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of
2011, and state costs or savings from the
essential plan program. Such projections
may be adjusted by the director of the
budget to account for increased or expe-
dited department of health state funds
medicaid expenditures as a result of a
natural or other type of disaster, includ-
ing a governmental declaration of emergen-
cy.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
defined by the commissioner, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment to limit such spending
to the aggregate limit specified herein
for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
768 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
769 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such adjustment
to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.

department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the

793 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
2025 through March 31, 2026, shall not
exceed $33,417,285,000 except as provided
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-
ance percentage amount established pursu-
ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
794 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
795 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such plan to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.

In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,

the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
797 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities where payment systems through
fiscal intermediaries are not operational,
to reimburse such providers for costs
attributable to the provision of care to
patients eligible for medical assistance.
Payments from this appropriation to gener-
al hospitals related to indigent care
pursuant to article 28 of the public
health law respectively, when combined
with federal funds for services and
expenses for the medical assistance
program pursuant to title XIX of the
federal social security act or its succes-
sor program, shall equal the amount of the
funds received related to health care
reform act allowances and surcharges
pursuant to article 28 of the public
health law and deposited to this account
less any such amounts withheld pursuant to
subdivision 21 of section 2807-c of the
public health law. Notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision of law, the moneys
hereby appropriated may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with
any appropriation of the department of
health with the approval of the director
of the budget, who shall file such
approval with the department of audit and
control and copies thereof with the chair-
man of the senate finance committee and
the chairman of the assembly ways and
means committee.
Notwithstanding section 2807-k of the Public
Health Law, or any inconsistent provision
of law, and subject to the availability of
federal financial participation, for peri-
ods on and after January 1, 2020 through
March 31, 2026, all funds available for
distribution pursuant to subdivision 5-d
of section 2807-k of the public health law
shall be distributed in accordance with
the provisions below.
The commissioner of the department of health
shall establish methodologies for deter-
mining each facility's relative uncompen-
sated care need amount based on uninsured
798 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
inpatient and outpatient units of service
from the cost reporting year two years
prior to the distribution year, multiplied
by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
January first of the distribution year, as
summed and adjusted by a statewide cost
adjustment factor and reduced by the sum
of all payment amounts collected from such
uninsured patients, and as further
adjusted by application of a nominal need
computation that shall take into account
each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
Annual distributions pursuant to such regu-
lations for the 2025-2027 calendar years
shall be in accord with the following:
$82,700,000 shall be distributed as Medi-
caid DSH payments to major general public
hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be
distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to
eligible general hospitals, other than
major public general hospitals, for each
of the calendar years 2025-2027, provided
that the total distributions to eligible
general hospitals, other than major public
general hospitals, shall be subject to a
reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and
further provided that eligible general
hospitals other than public general hospi-
tals who qualify as enhanced safety net
hospitals under section 2807-k of the
public health law shall not be subject to
such reduction.
Such reduction shall be determined by a
methodology to be established by the
department of health which may take into
account the payor mix of each non-public
general hospital, including the percentage
of inpatient days paid by the medical
assistance program.
For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible
general hospitals other than major public
general hospitals that qualify as enhanced
safety net hospitals under sections 2087-c
and section 2807-k of the public health
law which experience a reduction in
payments pursuant to section 2807-k of the
public health law shall receive a distrib-
ution of $64,600,000 annually proportional
to the reduction experienced by the facil-
ity and pursuant to a methodology deter-
mined to the commissioner.

exceed $33,417,285,000 except as provided
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-
ance percentage amount established pursu-
ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
807 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such plan to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
808 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
809 12553-02-5

AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities and the federal government where
payment systems through fiscal interme-
diaries are not operational, to reimburse
the provision of care to patients eligible
for medical assistance.

General Fund
Local Assistance Account - 10000
The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2024, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
For reimbursement of local administrative expenses for medical assist-
ance programs and for state administration of medical assistance
programs, notwithstanding section 153 of the social services law, to
include the performance of eligibility and enrollment determinations
by the state or third-party entities designated by the state to
perform such services.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to the
approval of the director of budget, up to $23,000,000 of the amount
appropriated herein shall be available for the purpose of providing
payments to local social services districts for medical assistance

lished by the commissioner of health.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law and subject to the
approval of the director of budget, moneys hereby appropriated may
847 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
be increased or decreased by transfer or interchange between these
appropriated amounts and appropriations of the medical assistance
administration program, the medical assistance program, and the
office of health insurance programs. Funding authority from this
account used for state administration of the medical assistance
program may be transferred to state operations appropriations within
the aforementioned programs at amounts agreed upon by the commis-
sioner of health, and the New York state division of the budget.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of addiction services and supports and further
excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
through [March 31, 2025] SEPTEMBER 15 2025, shall not exceed
[$31,634,010,000] $33,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
reductions in local social services district payments for medical
assistance administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
including a governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
848 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.

For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the

exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
(4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a

hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of addiction services and supports and further
excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
through [March 31, 2025] SEPTEMBER 15, 2025, shall not exceed
[$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
reductions in local social services district payments for medical
assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
including a governmental declaration of emergency.
877 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
878 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
879 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
(4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
of the public health law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased by interchange or trans-
fer with any appropriation of the department of health with the
approval of the director of the budget, who shall file such approval
with the department of audit and control and copies thereof with the
chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding section 2807-k of the Public Health Law, or any incon-
sistent provision of law, and subject to the availability of federal
financial participation, for periods on and after January 1, 2020
through March 31, 2025, all funds available for distribution pursu-
ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2024-2026
calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $139,400,000
shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general
public hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be distributed as Medicaid
DSH payments to eligible general hospitals, other than major public
general hospitals, for each of the calendar years 2024-2026,
provided that the total distributions to eligible general hospitals,
other than major public general hospitals, shall be subject to a
reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and further provided that eligi-
ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
by the department of health which may take into account the payor
mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
For calendar years 2024-2026, eligible general hospitals other than
major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution
of $64,600,000 annually proportional to the reduction experienced by
the facility and pursuant to a methodology determined to the commis-
sioner.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of
this appropriation covering fiscal year 2024-25 shall supersede and
replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25 set forth in chapter 53 of the laws of 2023

April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care

reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily

create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the

exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-

Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for

In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected

The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid

tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments, the money hereby appropriated is

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
886 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
887 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
(4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the federal government where payment
systems through fiscal intermediaries are not operational, to reim-
burse the provision of care to patients eligible for medical assist-
ance.

replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering

Such criteria shall include, but not be limited to, farmers who will
materially and substantially participate in operating a farm within
the state and may include urban farmers. Grants shall be awarded on
a competitive basis. Grants shall not be less than five thousand

adjusted per pupil amount multiplied by public school district
enrollment for the base year as computed pursuant to paragraph n of
subdivision 1 of section 3602 of education law.
The "adjusted per pupil amount" shall be equal to the product of (a)
$4,550.26 multiplied by (b) the regional cost index calculated in

the combined wealth ratio computed pursuant to subparagraph 1 of
paragraph c of subdivision 3 of section 3602 of education law.
(3) The "modified EN index" shall be equal to the modified EN percent
divided by the statewide average modified EN percent, provided that
for the 2021-22 school year, the statewide average modified EN
percent shall be equal to 0.5565.

year as computed pursuant to paragraph n of subdivision 1 of section
3602 of education law.
Provided further that districts receiving learning loss grants shall
use (a) 14.286 percent of such grants for implementation of
evidence-based summer enrichment programs; (b) 14.286 percent for
implementation of evidence-based comprehensive after-school
programs; and (c) the remaining funds for activities to address
learning loss by supporting the implementation of evidence-based
interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment,
extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school
year programs. School districts shall ensure that such interventions
respond to students' academic, social, and emotional needs and
address the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on low-income
students, children with disabilities, English learners, migrant
students, students experiencing homelessness, and children in foster
care.
(ii) $160,000,000 for new full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergar-

appropriation shall not exceed the total actual grant expenditures
incurred by the school district in the current school year as
approved by the commissioner. Grantees awarded funds from this
appropriation shall comply with all of the same rules and require-
ments as the universal prekindergarten programs pursuant to section
3602-e of education law. Provided further that, for purposes of this
appropriation:
(1) For eligible school districts, the preliminary slot count shall be
equal to the positive difference of (1) the product of 0.3504 and
unserved 4-year-old prekindergarten pupils calculated pursuant to
subparagraph iv of paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602-e
of education law less (2) the sum of (a) full day 4-year-old prekin-
dergarten pupils served in the 2019-20 school year served pursuant
to section 3602-e of education law plus (b) students served in full-
day prekindergarten programs funded by grants pursuant to section
3602-ee of education law in the 2019-20 school year. If such prelim-
inary slot count is less than 10, the expansion slots shall be 0; if
such preliminary slot count is greater than or equal to 10 but less
than 20, the expansion slots shall be 20; for all other eligible
districts, the expansion slots shall equal the preliminary slot
count.
(2) For the 2021-22 school year, school districts shall be eligible
for a grant amount if (1) the combined wealth ratio computed pursu-

unserved four-year-old prekindergarten pupils calculated pursuant to
subparagraph iv of paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602-e
of education law is less than 0.5.
(3) Maintenance of Effort. Where a school district serves fewer
4-year-old prekindergarten pupils in full-day programs funded by the
Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion pursuant to
this appropriation than the number of expansion slots as defined in
this appropriation, the school district shall have its current year
Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion payment
reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Full-day
4-year-old universal prekindergarten expansion multiplied by (ii)
the quotient of 4-year-old prekindergarten pupils served in programs
funded by the Full-day 4-year-old universal prekindergarten expan-
sion divided by the number of expansion slots. Provided that funds
provided pursuant to this appropriation shall only be used to
supplement and not supplant current local expenditures of state or
local funds on prekindergarten programs.
(4) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, for the
purposes of determining the prekindergarten allocation on the elec-
tronic data file prepared by the commissioner pursuant to subdivi-
sion 21 of section 305 of education law for the 2021-22 school year,
the commissioner is directed to include the grant amounts awarded

a city having a population of one million
or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
a portion of the funds are available to
reimburse social services districts for
the change in the maximum state aid rates
established by the office of children and
family services for the 2025-26 rate year
pursuant to section 398-a of the social
services law and sections 4003 and 4405 of
the education law to reflect the continua-
tion of the cost of living adjustments
that became effective April 1, 2008 for
payments made to foster parents and for
salary and fringe benefit costs and other
critical nonpersonal services costs for
foster care programs as determined by the
office. Social services districts must
adjust the amount of payments made for
care provided by congregate care and
foster boarding home programs and to
foster parents to reflect the cost of
living adjustments in the manner specified
by the office. Each authorized agency
operating a congregate care or foster
boarding home program in New York state
for which the office sets a maximum state
aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the
social services law or section 4003 or
4405 of the education law shall submit, at
the time and in a manner to be determined
by the office, a written certification,
attesting that the funds received for the
continuation of the cost of living adjust-
ment to the maximum state aid rate that
became effective April 1, 2008 for that
program will be or were used solely in
accordance with the requirements of the
cost of living adjustment established by
the office.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law including, but not limited to, any
chapter of the laws of 2025 which enacts a
targeted inflationary increase for the
state fiscal year beginning on April 1,
2025, the commissioner shall continue to
apply any cost of living adjustment
increase in effect on March 31, 2025 for
the entire rate year that began when such
cost of living adjustment increase was in
effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
461 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
provision of law, the commissioner shall
apply a 2.1 percent targeted inflationary
increase for the rate year that begins on
July 1, 2025 for the purposes of estab-
lishing rates of payments, contracts, or
any other form of reimbursement, provided
that this shall not prevent the commis-
sioner from applying additional trend or
staff retention factors for this program.
Within the amounts appropriated herein,
state reimbursement to each social
services district for services identified
herein that are otherwise reimbursable by
the state from April 1, 2025 through March
31, 2026 shall be limited to a district
allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
district's block grant allocation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, such block grant allocation shall be
based, in part, on each district's claims
for such costs, adjusted by the applicable
cost allocation methodology and net of any
retroactive payments for the 12 month
period ending June 30, 2024 that are
submitted on or before January 2, 2025
and, in part, on such other factors as
determined by the office of children and
family services and approved by the direc-
tor of the budget. Any portion of a social
services district's allocation from funds
appropriated herein not claimed by such
district during the state fiscal year may
be used by such district for expenditures
on preventive services provided pursuant
to section 409-a of the social services
law, independent living services and
aftercare services provided pursuant to
regulations of the department of family
assistance, claimed by such district
during the next state fiscal year up to
the amount remaining from the district's
foster care block grant allocation,
provided however, that any claims for such
services during the next state fiscal year
in excess of such amount shall be subject
to 62 percent state reimbursement exclu-
sive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with
directives of the department of family
assistance and subject to the approval of
the director of the budget. Any claims
462 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
submitted by a social services district
for reimbursement for a particular state
fiscal year for which the social services
district does not receive state or federal
reimbursement during that state fiscal
year may not be claimed against that
district's block grant apportionment for
the next state fiscal year.
The office of children and family services,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share
decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care
services identified herein. The office,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share of
disallowances or sanctions taken against
the district pursuant to the social
services law or federal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the state shall not be responsible for
reimbursing a social services district and
a district shall not seek state reimburse-
ment for any portion of any state disal-
lowance or sanction taken against the
social services district, or any federal
disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on
or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
ance or sanction results from the failure
of the social services district to comply
with federal or state requirements,
including, but not limited to, failure to
document eligibility for federal or state
funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any
federal disallowance for services provided
between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999
results solely from the late enactment of
the state legislation implementing the
federal adoption and safe families act,
the state shall be solely responsible for
the full amount of the disallowance or
sanction; provided, further, however, this
provision shall be deemed to apply both
prospectively and retroactively regardless
of whether such sanctions or disallowances
are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2025.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
any federal disallowance resulting from a
federal title IV-E eligibility review or
audit that uses extrapolated statistic
techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services
districts that the office of children and
family services has determined have not
complied with the title IV-E eligibility
requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with
such requirements including, but not
limited to, failing to: assess and fully
document all the criteria and have readily
available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligi-
bility for all title IV-E eligible chil-
dren within the required time frames;
claim title IV-E funding only for cases
that meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
ity criteria; and fully implement the
social services payment system on or
before April 1, 2005 for all direct and
voluntary agency foster care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
office of children and family services
shall impose on social services districts
any federal disallowance issued against
the state as a result of a federal title
IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
less of the date the children may have
entered foster care, the date the eligi-
bility or payment errors occurred, or the
filing date of any federal claims for
reimbursement; provided, however, that the
state shall be responsible for the disal-
lowed costs and expenditures related to
the placement of children in a facility
operated by the office of children and
family services, which shall be determined
in the same manner as the disallowed costs
and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York.
In order to reimburse the federal govern-
ment for the full amount of any disallow-
ance imposed on the state by the federal
administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid
any potential interest payments on such
amount, the office of children and family
services is authorized to immediately
464 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total
disallowed costs based on the percentage
of applicable federal title IV-E claims
made by that district for the relevant
time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
The amount of the offset against each
district will be adjusted, if necessary,
upon completion of the disallowance allo-
cation process. The final allocation of
the amount of any federal disallowance
resulting from a title IV-E secondary
eligibility review shall be allocated
among the districts so that each district
shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's
children or cases that are determined by
the federal review to be unallowable. Each
district shall also be responsible for a
portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
lowance amount based on the relative error
rate for the district. The city of New
York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For
all social services districts other than
the city of New York, the error rate will
be based on a review conducted by the
district of a sample of children and/or
cases determined by the office of children
and family services and a re-review of a
sub-sample by the office of those children
and/or cases determined by the office. The
office of children and family services
will determine what is reasonable in
establishing the size of the sample and
sub-sample for each district. The office
of children and family services shall
notify each social services district of
the sample of children and/or cases from
the federal audit period that the social
services district must review. Any child
or case from the social services district
that was included in the federal sample
will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample
and the determination made at the federal
review regarding that child or case will
govern for the purposes of the social
services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit
465 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
the results of its review to the office of
children and family services within 60
days of receipt of the sample. The error
rate for the district will be based on the
findings of the district's review and the
office of children and family services'
re-review. If a social services district
does not complete its review within 60
days of receiving the sample from the
office of children and family services,
the office of children and family services
shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative
percentage of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims for the relevant period
as compared to applicable statewide title
IV-E claims for that period and other
circumstances that the office of children
and family services may consider in order
to allocate 100 percent of the federal
disallowance. The office of children and
family services shall apply each social
services district's error rate to the
total amount of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims including associated
administrative expenses. The resulting
dollar amounts for all of the social
services districts will be summed to
derive the total amount of title IV-E
claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
establish a disallowance percentage for
each social services district, the amount
of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error will be divided by the
amount of statewide title IV-E claims
deemed to be in error. The resulting
disallowance percentage for each district
will be applied to the entire title IV-E
extrapolated disallowance calculated by
the federal review to determine the amount
of the extrapolated disallowance for which
the district is responsible. Each district
will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or
cases found to be in error during the
federal review. The exclusive appeal
rights for the review of the amount of the
federal disallowance assigned to each
social services district shall be pursuant
to article 78 of the civil practice law
and rules; provided, however, that in any
466 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
such action all of the social services
districts shall be joined as necessary
parties and the venue of any such action
shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social
services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time
frames shall have no right to appeal and
shall not be a necessary party to any
action brought by another social services
district.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of state aid hereto-
fore accrued or hereafter to accrue to

Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
law to the contrary, the office of chil-
dren and family services may, on behalf of
social services districts, make payments
to foster boarding homes paid directly by
social services districts by direct depos-
it or debit card. Local social services

Each authorized agency operating a congregate care or foster board-
ing home program in New York state for which the office sets a maxi-
mum state aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the social services
law or section 4003 or 4405 of the education law shall submit, at
the time and in a manner to be determined by the office, a written
certification, attesting that the funds received for the continua-
tion of the cost of living adjustment to the maximum state aid rate
that became effective April 1, 2008 for that program will be or were
used solely in accordance with the requirements of the cost of
living adjustment established by the office.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law including, but not
limited to, any chapter of the laws of 2024 which enacts a cost of
living adjustment for the state fiscal year beginning on April 1,
2024, the commissioner shall continue to apply any cost of living
adjustment increase in effect on March 31, 2024 for the entire rate
year that began when such cost of living adjustment increase was in
effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the
commissioner shall apply a 2.84 percent cost of living adjustment
for the rate year that begins on July 1, 2024 for the purposes of
establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other form of
reimbursement, provided that this shall not prevent the commissioner
from applying additional trend or staff retention factors for this
program.
Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each
social services district for services identified herein that are
otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2024 through March
31, 2025 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter
referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand-
ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted
by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2023 that
are submitted on or before January 2, 2024 and, in part, on such
other factors as determined by the office of children and family
services and approved by the director of the budget. Any portion of
a social services district's allocation from funds appropriated
herein not claimed by such district during the state fiscal year may
be used by such district for expenditures on preventive services
provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-
pendent living services and aftercare services provided pursuant to
regulations of the department of family assistance, claimed by such
district during the next state fiscal year up to the amount remain-
ing from the district's foster care block grant allocation, provided
however, that any claims for such services during the next state
fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department
of family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services district for
reimbursement for a particular state fiscal year for which the
social services district does not receive state or federal
553 12553-05-5

OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
reimbursement during that state fiscal year may not be claimed
against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state
fiscal year.
The office of children and family services, with the approval of the
director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo-
cation by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care services identified herein. The
office, with the approval of the director of the budget, may reduce
a district's block grant allocation by the state share of disallow-
ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
services law or federal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state shall not be
responsible for reimbursing a social services district and a
district shall not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after July 1, 1995,
when such disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
social services district to comply with federal or state require-
ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2024.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any federal disallowance
resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services districts that the office of
children and family services has determined have not complied with
the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the
criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligibility for all title IV-E
eligible children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
funding only for cases that meet all of the title IV-E eligibility
criteria; and fully implement the social services payment system on
or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary agency foster
care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the office of children and
family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
al disallowance issued against the state as a result of a federal
title IV-E secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or
payment errors occurred, or the filing date of any federal claims
554 12553-05-5

for reimbursement; provided, however, that the state shall be
responsible for the disallowed costs and expenditures related to the
placement of children in a facility operated by the office of chil-
dren and family services, which shall be determined in the same
manner as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the
federal government for the full amount of any disallowance imposed
on the state by the federal administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid any potential interest
payments on such amount, the office of children and family services
is authorized to immediately offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by that
district for the relevant time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The amount of the offset
against each district will be adjusted, if necessary, upon
completion of the disallowance allocation process. The final allo-
cation of the amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
districts so that each district shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's children or cases that are
determined by the federal review to be unallowable. Each district
shall also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
disallowance amount based on the relative error rate for the
district. The city of New York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For all social services
districts other than the city of New York, the error rate will be
based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of children
and/or cases determined by the office of children and family
services and a re-review of a sub-sample by the office of those
children and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
office of children and family services shall notify each social
services district of the sample of children and/or cases from the
federal audit period that the social services district must review.
Any child or case from the social services district that was
included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample and the determination made
at the federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
the purposes of the social services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit the results of its review
to the office of children and family services within 60 days of
receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
on the findings of the district's review and the office of children
and family services' re-review. If a social services district does
not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample from
the office of children and family services, the office of children
and family services shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to

ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
another social services district.
The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state
aid heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities.
Subject to the approval of the director of the budget, such funds
shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds,
reimbursements, and credits.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the amount herein
appropriated may be transferred to any other appropriation within
the office of children and family services and/or the office of
temporary and disability assistance and/or suballocated to the
office of temporary and disability assistance for the purpose of
paying local social services districts' costs of the above program
and may be increased or decreased by interchange with any other

the office of temporary and disability assistance reimburse the

counties that chose to transfer funds from their detention block

proportionately to the amount each such district transferred.
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 529-b of the
executive law or any other law to contrary, a municipality that was
eligible for a minimum funding allocation under the supervision and

2013-14 but did not submit an application for such funds may apply
to the office of children and family services for a waiver of the
local share requirement for the program funds for state fiscal year
2014-15 upon a showing that the municipality has fiscal issues that
significantly impact its ability to provide the required local share
and that providing the program funds to the municipality without a
local share will enable the municipality to implement services
designed to decrease the use of detention or residential care for
such youth.
Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement shall be
limited to the amount of such municipality's distribution. The
office of children and family services shall not reimburse any
claims unless they are submitted within 12 months of the calendar

defined in section 532-a of the executive law. Each county or a city
with a population of one million or more, which shall be known as a

services to eligible municipalities that have a comprehensive plan
that has been developed in consultation with the applicable munici-
pal youth bureau and approved by the office of children and family
services. The distribution of the amount appropriated herein to

ing in the municipality as shown by the last published federal
census certified in the same manner as provided by section fiftyfour

hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
For services and expenses of a program to provide shelter supplements
at local option to individuals and families regardless of immi-
gration status who are experiencing homelessness or are facing an
imminent loss of housing, including individuals and families without
children. Provided, however, that in social services districts with
a population over five million, funds allocated to such district
shall be used in the first instance to reimburse rental costs above
the maximum rent levels in place as of January 1, 2021 up to the
United States department of housing and urban development's fair
market rent level for the family homelessness and eviction
prevention supplement program pursuant to section 131-bb of the
social services law, then adjusted consistent with the annual year-
over-year percentage changes in fair market rent, provided, however,
in the event of a decrease in fair market rent the value of the
maximum rent levels reimbursed with funds appropriated herein shall
not decrease and shall be set at the maximum rent levels established
during the prior year, and any remaining funds for such district may
be used to provide shelter supplements pursuant to the purposes
appropriated herein.
Such supplements shall be provided to households who earn no more than
30 percent of area median income at the time of application,
provided however, that if sufficient demand does not exist for
households who earn no more than 30 percent of area median income,
supplements may be provided for households earning up to 50 percent
of area median income.

Such supplements shall be provided in accordance with social services

ments to be below 85 percent of fair market rent, but may allow for
supplements above 85 percent of fair market rent at local cost;
provided further however that at least 50 percent of the supplements
shall be allocated for households who are currently in shelter or
experiencing homelessness, unless sufficient demand does not exist
for such households within the district. A social services district
plan may provide for the administration of portions of this program
to be delegated to another public agency or to a contractor or non-
profit organization.
Funds appropriated herein shall be used to reimburse up to 100 percent
of the additional rental costs determined based on limiting such
household's earned and/or unearned income contribution to 30
percent. Each supplement shall be provided until 30 percent of the
household's earned and/or unearned income reaches the total monthly
rent.
Supplements provided herein shall not be part of the standard of need
pursuant to section 131-a of the social services law. Notwithstand-
ing any provision of law to the contrary such supplements shall not

lation over five million shall use this funding to reimburse rental
costs above the maximum rent levels in place as of January 1, 2021

ment's fair market rent level for the family homelessness and
eviction prevention supplement pursuant to section 131-bb of the
social services law, then adjusted consistent with the annual year-
over-year percentage changes in fair market rent, provided, however,
in the event of a decrease in fair market rent the value of the
maximum rent levels reimbursed with funds appropriated herein shall
not decrease and shall be set at the maximum rent levels established
during the prior year, nothing in this language shall prohibit
undocumented individuals and families from receiving this assist-
ance. Plans shall be subject to approval by the office of temporary
and disability assistance and the director of the budget.

For services and expenses of a program to provide shelter supplements
at local option to individuals and families regardless of immi-
gration status who are experiencing homelessness or are facing an
imminent loss of housing, including individuals and families without
children. Provided, however, that in social service districts with a
population over five million, funds allocated to such district shall
be used in the first instance to reimburse rental costs above the
maximum rent levels in place as of January 1, 2021 up to the United
States department of housing and urban development's fair market
rent level for the family homelessness and eviction prevention
supplement program pursuant to section 131-bb of the social services
law, then adjusted consistent with the annual year-over-year
percentage changes in fair market rent, provided, however, in the
event of a decrease in fair market rent the value of the maximum
rent levels reimbursed with funds appropriated herein shall not
decrease and shall be set at the maximum rent levels established
during the prior year, and any remaining funds for such district may
be used to provide shelter supplements pursuant to the purposes
appropriated herein.
Such supplements shall be provided to households who earn no more than
30 percent of area median income at the time of application,
provided however, that if sufficient demand does not exist for
households who earn no more than 30 percent of area median income,
supplements may be provided for households earning up to 50 percent
of area median income.
Such supplements shall be provided in accordance with social services
district plans, provided however that no plan shall require supple-
ments to be below 85 percent of fair market rent, but may allow for
supplements above 85 percent of fair market rent at local cost;
provided further however that at least 50 percent of the supplements
shall be allocated for households who are currently in shelter or
experiencing homelessness, unless sufficient demand does not exist
for such households within the district. A social services district
plan may provide for the administration of portions of this program

household's earned and/or unearned income contribution to 30
percent. Each supplement shall be provided until 30 percent of the
household's earned and/or unearned income reaches the total monthly
rent.
Supplements provided herein shall not be part of the standard of need

ing any provision of law to the contrary such supplements shall not
be subject to recoupment or repayment. Notwithstanding the aforemen-
tioned requirement that a social services district with a population

market rent level for the family homelessness and eviction
prevention supplement pursuant to section 131-bb of the social

provided, however, in the event of a decrease in fair market rent
the value of the maximum rent levels reimbursed with funds appropri-
ated herein shall not decrease and shall be set at the maximum rent
levels established during the prior year, nothing in this language
shall prohibit undocumented individuals and families from receiving
this assistance. Plans shall be subject to approval by the office of

The office of temporary and disability assistance shall prepare and
submit an annual program report to the chairs of the senate commit-
tee on social services and the senate finance committee, and the

contrary, subject to federal approval,

services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,

services and supports and further exclud-
ing any payments which are not appropri-

the aggregate, for the period April 1,
2025 through March 31, 2026, shall not
exceed $33,417,285,000 except as provided
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-
ance percentage amount established pursu-
ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases, and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the
New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of
2011, and state costs or savings from the
essential plan program. Such projections
may be adjusted by the director of the
budget to account for increased or expe-
dited department of health state funds

natural or other type of disaster, includ-
ing a governmental declaration of emergen-
cy.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
851 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
852 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such adjustment
to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
853 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of

increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of

concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such

below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-

ant to the federal social security act,

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of
2011, and state costs or savings from the
essential plan program. Such projections
may be adjusted by the director of the
budget to account for increased or expe-
dited department of health state funds
medicaid expenditures as a result of a
natural or other type of disaster, includ-
ing a governmental declaration of emergen-
cy.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
defined by the commissioner, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment to limit such spending
to the aggregate limit specified herein
for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
862 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such adjustment
to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at
863 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
864 12553-05-5

AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying or
discontinuing medicaid program benefits;
seeking all necessary federal approvals,
including, but not limited to waivers,
waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certif-
ication of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or
regulation to the contrary, including but
not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of
the public health law, section 18 of chap-
ter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR
505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of aid heretofore
accrued or hereafter accrued to munici-
palities, and to providers of medical
services pursuant to section 367-b of the

exceed $33,417,285,000 except as provided
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-

ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
895 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such plan to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at
896 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such

payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities where payment systems through
fiscal intermediaries are not operational,

any appropriation of the department of

approval with the department of audit and

sated care need amount based on uninsured
inpatient and outpatient units of service
from the cost reporting year two years
prior to the distribution year, multiplied
by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
January first of the distribution year, as
summed and adjusted by a statewide cost
adjustment factor and reduced by the sum
of all payment amounts collected from such
uninsured patients, and as further
adjusted by application of a nominal need
computation that shall take into account
each facility's medicaid inpatient share.

Annual distributions pursuant to such regu-
lations for the 2025-2027 calendar years

reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and
further provided that eligible general
hospitals other than public general hospi-
tals who qualify as enhanced safety net
hospitals under section 2807-k of the
public health law shall not be subject to
such reduction.
Such reduction shall be determined by a
methodology to be established by the
department of health which may take into
account the payor mix of each non-public
general hospital, including the percentage
of inpatient days paid by the medical
assistance program.
For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible
general hospitals other than major public

contrary, subject to federal approval,
department of health state funds medicaid
spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental

services and supports and further exclud-
ing any payments which are not appropri-
ated within the department of health, in
the aggregate, for the period April 1,
2025 through March 31, 2026, shall not
exceed $33,417,285,000 except as provided
below provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assist-
ance percentage amount established pursu-
ant to the federal social security act,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a quarterly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
901 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
tures authorized by the appropriations
herein in compliance with the following
guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
in compliance with applicable federal law,
including the provisions of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
"Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
made in a manner that complies with the
state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
al centers for medicare and medicaid
services, provided, however, that the
commissioner of health is authorized to
submit any state plan amendment or seek
other federal approval, including waiver
authority, to implement the provisions of
the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
that meets the other criteria set forth
herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
manner that maximizes federal financial
participation, to the extent practicable,
including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably
expected to become available, in the
discretion of the commissioner, under the
Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the
state, to the extent practicable, and
shall be made uniformly within a category
of service, to the extent practicable,
except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for
non-uniformity, including but not limited
to: the extent to which specific catego-
ries of services contributed to department
of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in
902 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
underserved communities; or the potential
benefits of pursuing innovative payment
models contemplated by the Affordable Care
Act, in which case such grounds shall be
set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
shall be made in a manner that does not
unnecessarily create administrative
burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
ents or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, to the extent that
all or part of such adjustment, in the
discretion of the commissioner, is likely
to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of
service or particular geographic regions
of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment on the
department of health's website and shall
provide written copies of such plan to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at
least 30 days before the date on which
implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation adjustment subsequent
to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation adjustment is
necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
903 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation adjustment from taking
effect retroactively to the extent permit-
ted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
the department of health shall reduce
department of health state funds medicaid
spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including,
but not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in
subdivision (1) of this section, and
factors that could result in medicaid
disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected
department of health state funds disburse-
ments in the enacted budget financial plan
pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
904 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
the state finance law, including spending
increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
ations in offline medicaid payments; and
(b) the actions taken to implement any
medicaid savings allocation adjustment
implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information
concerning the impact of such actions on
each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such
quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments, the
money hereby appropriated is available for
payment of aid heretofore accrued or here-
after accrued, to providers of medical
care pursuant to section 367-b of the
social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the feder-
al government where payment systems
through fiscal intermediaries are not
operational, to reimburse such providers
for costs attributable to the provision of
care to patients eligible for medical
assistance. Notwithstanding any inconsist-
ent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased
by interchange or transfer with any appro-
priation of the department of health with
the approval of the director of the budg-
et, who shall file such approval with the
department of audit and control and copies
thereof with the chairman of the senate
finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.

expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate

finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
adjustment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid

The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2024, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of addiction services and supports and further
excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
through [March 31, 2025] SEPTEMBER 15, 2025, shall not exceed
[$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
1009 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
reductions in local social services district payments for medical
assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
including a governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
1010 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
1011 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
(4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
of the public health law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased by interchange or trans-
fer with any appropriation of the department of health with the
approval of the director of the budget, who shall file such approval
with the department of audit and control and copies thereof with the
chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding section 2807-k of the Public Health Law, or any incon-
sistent provision of law, and subject to the availability of federal
financial participation, for periods on and after January 1, 2020
through March 31, 2025, all funds available for distribution pursu-
ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
1012 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2024-2026
calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $139,400,000
shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general
public hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be distributed as Medicaid
DSH payments to eligible general hospitals, other than major public
general hospitals, for each of the calendar years 2024-2026,
provided that the total distributions to eligible general hospitals,
other than major public general hospitals, shall be subject to a
reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and further provided that eligi-
ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
by the department of health which may take into account the payor
mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
For calendar years 2024-2026, eligible general hospitals other than
major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution
of $64,600,000 annually proportional to the reduction experienced by
the facility and pursuant to a methodology determined to the commis-
sioner.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of
this appropriation covering fiscal year 2024-25 shall supersede and
replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25 set forth in chapter 53 of the laws of 2023

[$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
reductions in local social services district payments for medical
assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-

The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2024, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of addiction services and supports and further
excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
through [March 31, 2025] SEPTEMBER 15, 2025, shall not exceed
[$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
reductions in local social services district payments for medical
assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential plan. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency.
The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
1018 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
date on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
1019 12553-05-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
(4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the federal government where payment
systems through fiscal intermediaries are not operational, to reim-
burse the provision of care to patients eligible for medical assist-
ance.
For services and expenses of the medical assistance program including
nursing home, personal care, certified home health agency, long term
home health care program and hospital services.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of
this appropriation covering fiscal year 2024-25 shall supersede and
replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2024-25 set forth in chapter 53 of the laws of 2023
