BILL NUMBER:S4289 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to eligibility limitations on certain medical services not mandated by federal law SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends 117 of the Social Services Law by adding a new subdivision 4 to impose a ninety-day state residency requirement for eligibility for Medicaid services not mandated by federal law of regulation. Section 2 authorizes and directs the Commissioner of Health to apply for any federal waivers required to implement the provisions of subdivision 4 of Section 117 of the Social Services Law.

Federal Medicaid laws do not permit as a condition of service that an applicant reside in a jurisdiction for a specific period of time. The
