§ 608. State aid; children and youth with special health care needs
support services. 1. Whenever the commissioner of health of any county
or part-county health district or, in a county lacking a county or
part-county health district, the medical director of the children and
youth with special health care needs support services program, or the
department of health of the city of New York, issues an authorization
for medical service for a child with physical disabilities, such county
or the city of New York shall be granted state aid in an amount of fifty
per centum of the amount expended in accordance with the rules and
regulations established by the commissioner, except that such state aid
reimbursement may be withheld if, on post-audit and review, the
commissioner finds that the medical service rendered and furnished was
not in conformance with a plan submitted by the municipality and with
the rules and regulations established by the commissioner or that the
recipient of the medical service was not a child with a physical
disability as defined in section two thousand five hundred eighty-one of
this chapter.

2. Whenever a court of any county issues an order for medical services
for any Indian child with a physical disability, residing on an Indian
reservation, such county shall be granted state aid in the amount of one
hundred percent of the amount expended in accordance with the standards
established by the commissioner. Such reimbursement shall be made from
any funds appropriated to the department for payment of state aid for
children with physical disabilities.

3. The clerk of the board of supervisors or other similar governing
body of each county, or chief fiscal officer of the city of New York
which has paid claims as provided herein shall, not oftener than once in
each month, transmit to the commissioner a certified statement in the
form prescribed by him, stating the amount expended for the purposes
specified herein, the date of each expenditure, and the purpose for
which it was made. Upon the receipt of such certified statement the
commissioner shall examine the same, and if such expenditures were made
as required by law he shall approve it and transmit it to the
comptroller for audit. The comptroller shall thereupon issue his warrant
in the amount specified in such approved statement for the payment
thereof out of moneys appropriated therefor to the county treasurer of
the county or chief fiscal officer of the city of New York.
