ated herein among eligible schools, as
defined herein, that qualify based on the
following criteria: eligible schools are
those that have complied with all applica-
ble requirements for previous grants for
this purpose and whose average teacher
salary are below the salary provided for
similarly qualified teachers in public
schools in the region in which such eligi-
ble school is located. The allocation to
each qualifying school shall be calculated
based on the number of weighted full time
equivalent (FTE) staff, as defined herein,
in the per FTE award amount. The total
number of weighted FTE shall be determined
by multiplying the actual number of FTE
teachers providing classroom instruction
at each school, as determined by the
commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for
those schools where average salaries that
are 50 percent or less of those in public
school located in the same geographic
region; 2) a factor of 1.5 for those
schools where average salaries that are 50
percent and 75 percent of public schools
located in the same geographic region; or
3) a factor of 1.0 for those schools where
the average salaries that are 75-100
percent of public schools located in the
same geographic region. The per FTE teach-
er award amount shall be calculated by
dividing the $2,000,000 by the total
number of weighted FTE staff; (ii)
$2,000,000 shall be available for payments
to schools providing special services or
programs as defined in paragraphs e, g, i,
and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of
the education law and approved preschool
programs in accordance with section 4410
of the education law to help prevent
excessive instructional staff turnover
through a targeted adjustment of compen-
sation for teachers providing direct
instructional services to students at such
schools. The commissioner of education
shall develop an allocation plan, subject
to the approval of the director of the
budget, that distributes funds appropri-
ated herein among eligible schools; (iii)
up to $10,000,000 shall be available for
costs associated with schools operated
under article 85 of the education law

including kinship guardianship assistance
payments and payments for non-recurring

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 2015-16 rate year
pursuant to section 398-a of the social
services law and sections 4003 and 4405 of

tion 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
boarding home program in New York state
for which the office sets a maximum state
aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the

by the office, a written certification,
attesting that the funds received for the
continuation of the cost of living adjust-
ment 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. Notwithstanding any inconsist-
262 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
ent provision of law, including section 1
of part C of chapter 57 of the laws of
2006, as amended by section 1 of part I of
chapter 60 of the laws of 2014, for the
period commencing on April 1, 2015 and
ending March 31, 2016 the commissioner
shall not apply any cost of living adjust-
ment for the purpose of establishing rates
of payments, contracts or any other form
of reimbursement.
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, 2015 through March
31, 2016 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, 2014 that are
submitted on or before January 2, 2015
and, in part, on such other factors as
determined by the office of children and
family services and approved by the direc-
tor 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
regulations of the department of family
assistance, claimed by such district
during the next state fiscal year up to
the amount remaining 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 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
263 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
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
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
264 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2015.
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
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
265 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
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
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
266 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
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
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
267 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2015-16
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.
The money hereby appropriated is to be

law to the contrary, the office of chil-
dren and family services may, on behalf of
social services districts, make payments
to foster boarding homes paid directly by
social services districts by direct depos-
it or debit card. Local social services

the costs of administering such direct

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, 2014.
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

AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
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
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
326 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
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.

For reimbursement of local administrative expenses for medical assist-
ance programs and for state administration of medical assistance
programs, notwithstanding section 153 of the social services law, to
include the performance of eligibility and enrollment determinations
by the state or third-party entities designated by the state to
perform such services.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to the
approval of the director of budget, up to $23,000,000 of the amount
appropriated herein shall be available for the purpose of providing
572 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
payments to local social services districts for medical assistance
administration claims that exceed an administrative ceiling estab-
lished by the commissioner of health.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law and subject to the
approval of the director of budget, moneys hereby appropriated may
be increased or decreased by transfer or interchange between these
appropriated amounts and appropriations of the medical assistance
administration program, the medical assistance program, and the
office of health insurance programs. Funding authority from this
account used for state administration of the medical assistance
program may be transferred to state operations appropriations within
the aforementioned programs at amounts agreed upon by the commis-
sioner of health, and the New York state division of the budget.
Notwithstanding section 40 of state finance law or any other law to
the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made from this
account shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in the
aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 50 percent for
the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015; and the remaining amount
for the period April 1, 2015 to [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services and
further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2014
through March 31, 2015, shall not exceed $17,082,871,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016,
shall not exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event shall department
of health state funds medicaid spending for the period April 1, 2014
through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 exceed $35,020,738,000
provided, however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the
director of the budget to account for any changes in the New York
state federal medical assistance percentage amount established
pursuant to the federal social security act, increases in provider
revenues, reductions in local social services district payments for
medical assistance administration and beginning April 1, 2012 the
operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget,
in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on a
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
sioner of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such
assessment for each such period, and if the director of the budget
determines that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified
573 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
with the director of the budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such
spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation

such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health

suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs

Notwithstanding section 40 of state finance law or any other law to

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of

services provided at state facilities operated by the office of

further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the

through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 exceed $35,020,738,000
provided, however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the
director of the budget to account for any changes in the New York
state federal medical assistance percentage amount established
pursuant to the federal social security act, increases in provider
revenues, reductions in local social services district payments for
medical assistance administration and beginning April 1, 2012 the
operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget,
in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on a
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as defined by the commissioner,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to such assessment for each
such period, and if the director of the budget determines that such
expenditures are expected to cause medicaid spending for such period
to exceed the aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the
state medicaid director, in consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid
583 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
savings allocation plan to limit such spending to the aggregate
limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the states.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
584 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
sioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:

Notwithstanding section 40 of state finance law or any other law to
the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made from this
account shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in the
aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 50 percent for
the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015; and the remaining amount
for the period April 1, 2015 to [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services and
further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2014
through March 31, 2015, shall not exceed $17,082,871,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016,
shall not exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event shall department
of health state funds medicaid spending for the period April 1, 2014
through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 exceed $35,020,738,000
provided, however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the
director of the budget to account for any changes in the New York
state federal medical assistance percentage amount established
pursuant to the federal social security act, increases in provider
revenues, reductions in local social services district payments for
medical assistance administration and beginning April 1, 2012 the
operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget,
in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
sioner of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such
assessment for each such period, and if the director of the budget
determines that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
with the director of the budget and the commissioner of health,
599 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
shall develop a medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such
spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
600 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
sioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h). The department of health shall prepare a monthly
report that sets forth: (a) known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in subdivision 1 of this section,
and factors that could result in medicaid disbursements for the
relevant state fiscal year to exceed the projected department of
health state funds disbursements in the enacted budget financial
plan pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance
law, including spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments,
and shift of beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in
offline medicaid payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement
any medicaid savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdi-
vision 4 of this section, including information concerning the
impact of such actions on each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such monthly report shall be
provided to the chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways
601 20012-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2015-16
and means committees and shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
of the public health law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased by interchange or trans-
fer with any appropriation of the department of health with the
approval of the director of the budget, who shall file such approval
with the department of audit and control and copies thereof with the
chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of
this appropriation covering fiscal year 2014-15 shall supersede and

not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
sioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all

provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-

including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision 1 of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision 4 of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.
For the purpose of making payments, the money hereby appropriated is

The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2014, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
Notwithstanding section 40 of state finance law or any other law to
the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made from this
account shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in the
aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 50 percent for
the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015; and the remaining amount
for the period April 1, 2015 to [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services and
further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2014
through March 31, 2015, shall not exceed $17,082,871,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016,
shall not exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event shall department
of health state funds medicaid spending for the period April 1, 2014
through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 exceed $35,020,738,000
provided, however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the
director of the budget to account for any changes in the New York
state federal medical assistance percentage amount established
pursuant to the federal social security act, increases in provider
revenues, reductions in local social services district payments for
medical assistance administration and beginning April 1, 2012 the
operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such projections may
be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget,
in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
sioner of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such
assessment for each such period, and if the director of the budget
determines that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
with the director of the budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such
spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
