BILL NUMBER:S1814
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the social services law, in relation to imposing a ninety day
residency requirement for eligibility for medical assistance
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION:
This bill would impose a ninety-day state
residency requirement for eligibility for Medicaid program services.
New York has one of the most generous Medicaid programs in the United
States. People from other states have taken advantage of this state's
generosity towards it residents and purposefully moved to New York
solely for the benefit of its charitable social programs. Imposing a
ninety-day state residency requirement before allowing individuals to
qualify for New York's Medicaid program would discourage individuals
from moving to the state solely for the purpose of receiving Medicaid
while preserving Medicaid services for the people who have made New
York their home.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 - amends Sec. 117 of the Social Services Law by adding a new
subdivision 4 to impose a ninety-day state residency requirement for
eligibility for Medicaid.
Section 2 - Effective date.
