The sum of five hundred thirty-three million five hundred 2 thousand dollars ($533,500,000), or so much thereof as may be necessary, 3 is hereby appropriated to the office of children and family services 4 from the general fund / aid to localities, local assistance account - 5 001, not otherwise appropriated, for payment of state aid heretofore 6 accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities. Subject to the 7 approval of the director of the budget, the money hereby appropriated 8 shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds, 9 reimbursements, and credits. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision 10 of law, in lieu of payments authorized by the social services law, or 11 payments of federal funds otherwise due to the local social services 12 districts for programs provided under the federal social security act or 13 the federal food stamp act, funds herein appropriated, in amounts certi- 14 fied by the state comptroller or the state commissioner of health as due 15 from local social services districts each month as their share of 16 payments made pursuant to section 367-b of the social services law may 17 be set aside by the state comptroller in an interest-bearing account 18 with such interest accruing to the credit of the locality in order to 19 ensure the orderly and prompt payment of providers under section 367-b 20 of the social services law pursuant to an estimate provided by the 21 commissioner of health of each local social services district's share of 22 payments made pursuant to section 367-b of the social services law. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD13627-01-1S. 5742 2 A. 9353 1 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the funds appropri- 2 ated herein shall be available for reimbursement of local social 3 services district expenditures for the provision and administration of 4 the following family and children's services: foster care services 5 including expenditures for care, maintenance, supervision, tuition and 6 independent living services; supervision of foster children placed in 7 federally funded job corps programs; care, maintenance, supervision, 8 tuition, and independent living services for adjudicated juvenile delin- 9 quents and persons in need of supervision placed in residential programs 10 operated by authorized agencies and in out-of-state residential 11 programs; preventive services provided pursuant to section 409-a of the 12 social services law; aftercare services; and adoption services and 13 administration other than adoption subsidies. Of the amount appropriated 14 herein, state reimbursement to each local social services district to 15 cover the costs of those district expenditures for all such family and 16 children's services identified herein that are otherwise reimbursable 17 shall be limited to the district's allocation, herein referred to as the 18 district's family and children's services block grant allocation. Such 19 allocation shall be based on the district's pro rata share of their SFY 20 2000-2001 family and children's services block grant allocation and 21 shall be subject to the approval of the director of the budget. The 22 state shall not be responsible for reimbursing local social services 23 districts for any portion of any federal or state sanctions or disallow- 24 ances taken under federal or state law for such family and children's 25 services when such sanctions or disallowances result from the failure of 26 the local social services districts to comply with federal or state 27 funding requirements including, but not limited to, failure to document 28 eligibility for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, 29 however if the office determines that any federal disallowance for 30 services provided January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results solely from 31 the late enactment of the state legislation implementing the federal 32 adoption and safe families act, the state shall be solely responsible 33 for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction; provided, further, 34 however, this provision shall be deemed to apply both prospectively and 35 retroactively regardless of whether such sanctions or disallowances for 36 services provided or claims made prior to or after April 1, 2001; 37 provided further, however, that the office of children and family 38 services shall suspend taking state sanctions against local social 39 services district for violations of the provisions of section 153-d of 40 the social services law for services provided from January 1, 1994 and 41 thereafter and shall discontinue collecting data from its computer 42 systems and reporting on each local social services district's compli- 43 ance with such section during the suspension period. Nothing herein 44 shall preclude the office from continuing during the suspension period 45 to conduct the monitoring activities authorized under other sections of 46 the social services law. Funds appropriated herein may be used as the 47 state share for federal title IV-B subpart 2 funds to the extent that 48 such match is determined jointly by the office and the director of the 49 budget to be not otherwise available and to the extent permitted by 50 federal law and regulations. The office, with the approval of the 51 director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allocation 52 by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive reimbursement 53 for family and children's services. The office, with the approval of 54 the director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo- 55 cation by the state share of disallowances or sanctions taken against 56 the district pursuant to social services law or federal law.S. 5742 3 A. 9353 1 Such moneys shall be payable on the audit and warrant of the state 2 comptroller on vouchers certified or approved in the manner provided by 3 law. 4 § 2.
