SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The social services law is amended by adding a new article 5-A and amending subdivision 2 of section 145-b to enable the City of New York and the counties to keep 100% of the local share of any successful Medicaid fraud prosecution or settlement, or 10% of the total recovery, whichever is greater.
