divided by the statewide average extraor-
dinary needs percent; or
(2) for any district with a GEA/TGFE ratio
greater than one, where the GEA/TGFE ratio
shall be the quotient of (a) the gap elim-
ination adjustment for the 2011-12 school

year for the district.
Provided further that the gap elimination
adjustment for the 2013-14 school year
shall be equal to the gap elimination
adjustment for the 2012-13 school year,
plus, if the preliminary growth amount
exceeds the allowable growth amount, the
product of the gap elimination adjustment
percentage for such school district and
the positive difference, if any, between
the preliminary growth amount less the
allowable growth amount, and less the gap
elimination adjustment restoration amount
for the 2013-14 school year, if any, allo-
cated pursuant to a chapter of the laws of
New York.
Provided further that notwithstanding any
other provision of law to the contrary,
the allowable growth amount for the 2013-

the positive difference of the personal
income growth index minus one, multiplied
by the statewide total of (i) the appor-
tionments, including the gap elimination

ment to the maximum state aid rate that

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, 2012 through March
31, 2013 shall be limited to a district
allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
district's block grant allocation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of

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, 2011 that are

foster care block grant allocation,
provided however, that any claims for such

in excess of such amount shallbe 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
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
190 12653-01-2
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2012-13
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, 2012.
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
191 12653-01-2
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2012-13
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
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
192 12653-01-2
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2012-13
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
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
193 12653-01-2

AID TO LOCALITIES 2012-13
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 laws
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.

are to be available to social services districts for child care
assistance shall be apportioned among the social services districts

district's request, for a particular federal fiscal year is avail-
able only for child care assistance expenditures made during that
federal fiscal year and which are claimed by March 31 of the year
immediately following the end of that federal fiscal year. Any
claims for child care assistance made by a social services district
for expenditures made during a particular federal fiscal year, other
than claims made under title XX of the federal social security act,
shall be counted against the social services district's block grant
allocation for that federal fiscal year.

By chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2011:
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the amount appro-
priated herein, shall be available under a foster care block grant
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 and persons in need of supervision
placed in residential programs operated by authorized agencies and
in out-of-state residential programs; and for the provision and
administration of the kinship guardian assistance program including
kinship guardianship assistance payments and payments for non-recur-
ring guardianship expenses.
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 2011-12 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
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 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
249 12653-01-2

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. Within the amounts
appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each social services
district for services identified herein that are otherwise reimburs-
able by the state from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012 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, 2010 that are
submitted on or before January 3, 2011 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, independent
living services and aftercare services provided pursuant to regu-
lations 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 95.4
percent of 65 percent state reimbursement exclusive of any federal
funds made available for such purposes, in accordance with direc-
tives 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
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
250 12653-01-2

AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2012-13
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, 2011.
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
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
251 12653-01-2
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2012-13
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
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 laws 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.

section 1, of the laws of 2011:
For services and expenses, notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, and without state or local financial participation, of the
career pathways program for not-for-profit, community-based organ-
izations providing coordinated, comprehensive employment services
beyond the level currently funded by local social services districts
to eligible individuals and families. Such funds are to be made
available to establish a career pathways program to link education
and occupational training to subsequent employment through a contin-
uum of educational programs and integrated support services to
enable participants, including disconnected young adults, ages
sixteen to twenty-four, to advance over time both to higher levels
of education and to higher wage jobs in targeted occupational
sectors. With funds appropriated herein, the office of temporary and
disability assistance in consultation with the department of labor
shall establish the career pathways program and provide technical
support, as needed, to provide education, training, and job place-
ment for low-income individuals, age sixteen and older. Preference
shall be given to eighteen to twenty-four year olds who are unem-
ployed or underemployed, in areas of the state with demonstrated
labor market needs and unemployment rates that are greater than the
appropriate or comparative rate of employment for the region, and to
persons in receipt of family assistance and/or safety net assist-
ance. Of the amounts appropriated, at least sixty percent shall be
available for services to eighteen to twenty-four year olds, with
remaining funds available to recipients of family assistance and/or
safety net assistance, without age restrictions, and sixteen to
seventeen year old self-supporting individuals who are heads of
household. The office of temporary and disability assistance in
consultation with the department of labor shall develop a request
for proposals and shall receive, review, and assess applications. In
selecting proposals, the office of temporary and disability assist-
ance and the department of labor shall give preference to programs
that demonstrate community-based collaborations with education and
training providers and employers in the region. Such education and
training providers may include, but not be limited to general equiv-
alency diplomas programs, community colleges, junior colleges, busi-
ness and trade schools, vocational institutions, and institutions
with baccalaureate degree-granting programs; programs that provide
for a career path or career paths, as supported by identified local
employment needs; programs that provide employment services, includ-
