16 Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

18 reimbursing a social services district and
19 a district shall not seek state reimburse-
20 ment for any portion of any state disal-
21 lowance or sanction taken against the
22 social services district, or any federal
23 disallowance attributable to final federal
24 agency decisions or to settlement made, on
25 or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
26 ance or sanction results from the failure
27 of the social services district to comply
28 with federal or state requirements,
29 including, but not limited to, failure to
30 document eligibility for federal or state
31 funds in the case record; provided, howev-
32 er, if the office determines that any
33 federal disallowance for services provided
34 between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999
35 results solely from the late enactment of

8 document all the criteria and have readily

19 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
20 office of children and family services
21 shall impose on social services districts
22 any federal disallowance issued against
23 the state as a result of a federal title
24 IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
25 less of the date the children may have
26 entered foster care, the date the eligi-

33 operated by the office of children and
34 family services, which shall be determined
35 in the same manner as the disallowed costs
36 and expenditures for social services

40 ance imposed on the state by the federal
41 administration for children and families
42 within the timeframes necessary to avoid
43 any potential interest payments on such
44 amount, the office of children and family
45 services is authorized to immediately
46 offset funds otherwise due to each
47 district for a pro rata share of the total
48 disallowed costs based on the percentage
49 of applicable federal title IV-E claims
50 made by that district for the relevant
51 time period as compared to the total

1 applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
2 The amount of the offset against each
3 district will be adjusted, if necessary,
4 upon completion of the disallowance allo-
5 cation process. The final allocation of
6 the amount of any federal disallowance
7 resulting from a title IV-E secondary
8 eligibility review shall be allocated
9 among the districts so that each district
10 shall be responsible for the amount
11 attributable to each of the district's
12 children or cases that are determined by
13 the federal review to be unallowable. Each
14 district shall also be responsible for a
15 portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
16 lowance amount based on the relative error
17 rate for the district. The city of New
18 York's error rate will be based on the
19 federal sample and federal statistics. For
20 all social services districts other than
21 the city of New York, the error rate will
22 be based on a review conducted by the
23 district of a sample of children and/or
24 cases determined by the office of children
25 and family services and a re-review of a
26 sub-sample by the office of those children
27 and/or cases determined by the office. The
28 office of children and family services
29 will determine what is reasonable in
30 establishing the size of the sample and
31 sub-sample for each district. The office
32 of children and family services shall
33 notify each social services district of
34 the sample of children and/or cases from
35 the federal audit period that the social
36 services district must review. Any child
37 or case from the social services district
38 that was included in the federal sample
39 will automatically be included in the
40 social services district's review sample
41 and the determination made at the federal
42 review regarding that child or case will
43 govern for the purposes of the social
44 services district's review. The social
45 services district must complete and submit
46 the results of its review to the office of
47 children and family services within 60
48 days of receipt of the sample. The error
49 rate for the district will be based on the
50 findings of the district's review and the

1 re-review. If a social services district
2 does not complete its review within 60
3 days of receiving the sample from the
4 office of children and family services,
5 the office of children and family services
6 shall assign an error rate to the social
7 services district based on the relative
8 percentage of the district's applicable
9 title IV-E claims for the relevant period
10 as compared to applicable statewide title
11 IV-E claims for that period and other
12 circumstances that the office of children
13 and family services may consider in order
14 to allocate 100 percent of the federal
15 disallowance. The office of children and
16 family services shall apply each social
17 services district's error rate to the
18 total amount of the district's applicable
19 title IV-E claims including associated
20 administrative expenses. The resulting
21 dollar amounts for all of the social
22 services districts will be summed to
23 derive the total amount of title IV-E
24 claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
25 establish a disallowance percentage for
26 each social services district, the amount
27 of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
28 to be in error will be divided by the
29 amount of statewide title IV-E claims
30 deemed to be in error. The resulting
31 disallowance percentage for each district
32 will be applied to the entire title IV-E
33 extrapolated disallowance calculated by
34 the federal review to determine the amount
35 of the extrapolated disallowance for which
36 the district is responsible. Each district
37 will be credited for the amount already
38 disallowed for any individual children or
39 cases found to be in error during the
40 federal review. The exclusive appeal
41 rights for the review of the amount of the
42 federal disallowance assigned to each
43 social services district shall be pursuant
44 to article 78 of the civil practice law
45 and rules; provided, however, that in any
46 such action all of the social services

25 social services district for services identified herein that are
26 otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2024 through March
27 31, 2025 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter

31 by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
32 active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2023 that
33 are submitted on or before January 2, 2024 and, in part, on such

38 be used by such district for expenditures on preventive services
39 provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-

45 fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
46 state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
47 for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department

9 a district's block grant allocation by the state share of disallow-
10 ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
11 services law or federal law.
12 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state shall not be
13 responsible for reimbursing a social services district and a
14 district shall not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
15 state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
16 district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
17 agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after July 1, 1995,
18 when such disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
19 social services district to comply with federal or state require-
20 ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
21 ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
22 er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
23 services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
24 solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
25 the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
26 ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
27 provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
28 both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
29 sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made

35 children and family services has determined have not complied with
36 the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
37 sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
38 but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the
39 criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to

50 children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or

4 dren and family services, which shall be determined in the same
5 manner as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
6 districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the
7 federal government for the full amount of any disallowance imposed
8 on the state by the federal administration for children and families
9 within the timeframes necessary to avoid any potential interest
10 payments on such amount, the office of children and family services
11 is authorized to immediately offset funds otherwise due to each
12 district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
13 the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by that
14 district for the relevant time period as compared to the total
15 applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The amount of the offset
16 against each district will be adjusted, if necessary, upon
17 completion of the disallowance allocation process. The final allo-
18 cation of the amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
19 title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
20 districts so that each district shall be responsible for the amount
21 attributable to each of the district's children or cases that are
22 determined by the federal review to be unallowable. Each district
23 shall also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
24 disallowance amount based on the relative error rate for the
25 district. The city of New York's error rate will be based on the
26 federal sample and federal statistics. For all social services
27 districts other than the city of New York, the error rate will be
28 based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of children
29 and/or cases determined by the office of children and family
30 services and a re-review of a sub-sample by the office of those
31 children and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
32 dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
33 lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
34 office of children and family services shall notify each social
35 services district of the sample of children and/or cases from the
36 federal audit period that the social services district must review.
37 Any child or case from the social services district that was
38 included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the
39 social services district's review sample and the determination made
40 at the federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
41 the purposes of the social services district's review. The social
42 services district must complete and submit the results of its review
43 to the office of children and family services within 60 days of
44 receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
45 on the findings of the district's review and the office of children
46 and family services' re-review. If a social services district does
47 not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample from
48 the office of children and family services, the office of children
49 and family services shall assign an error rate to the social
50 services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
51 applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to

1 applicable statewide title IV-E claims for that period and other
2 circumstances that the office of children and family services may
3 consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the federal disallow-
4 ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
5 social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
6 district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
7 istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
8 social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
9 of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
10 disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
11 amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
12 will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
13 to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
14 district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
15 disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
16 amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
17 responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
18 disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
19 during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
20 review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
21 social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
22 civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
23 action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
24 necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
25 selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
26 its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
27 appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
28 another social services district.

26 imminent loss of housing, including individuals and families without
27 children. Provided, however, that in social services districts with

32 market rent level for the family homelessness and eviction

6 shall be allocated for households who are currently in shelter or
7 experiencing homelessness, unless sufficient demand does not exist

9 plan may provide for the administration of portions of this program
10 to be delegated to another public agency or to a contractor or non-

12 Funds appropriated herein shall be used to reimburse up to 100 percent
13 of the additional rental costs determined based on limiting such
14 household's earned and/or unearned income contribution to 30
15 percent. Each supplement shall be provided until 30 percent of the

34 undocumented individuals and families from receiving this assist-

27 commissioner of health is authorized to

34 manner that maximizes federal financial
35 participation, to the extent practicable,
36 including any federal financial partic-
37 ipation that is available or is reasonably
38 expected to become available, in the
39 discretion of the commissioner, under the
40 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
41 be made uniformly among categories of
42 services and geographic regions of the
43 state, to the extent practicable, and
44 shall be made uniformly within a category
45 of service, to the extent practicable,
46 except where the commissioner determines

3 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
4 models contemplated by the Affordable Care

6 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
7 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
8 shall be made in a manner that does not
9 unnecessarily create administrative
10 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
11 ents or providers.
12 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
13 legislature, as well as organizations
14 representing health care providers,
15 consumers, businesses, workers, health
16 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
17 tise, in developing such medicaid savings

19 all or part of such adjustment, in the
20 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
21 to have a material impact on the overall
22 medicaid program, particular categories of
23 service or particular geographic regions
24 of the state.
25 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
26 savings allocation adjustment on the

28 provide written copies of such adjustment
29 to the chairs of the senate finance and

8 medicaid expenditures as a result of a

12 The director of the budget, in consultation
13 with the commissioner of health, shall
14 assess on a quarterly basis known and
15 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
16 ry of service and by geographic region, as
17 defined by the commissioner, incurred both
18 prior to and subsequent to such assessment
19 for each such period, and if the director
20 of the budget determines that such expend-
21 itures are expected to cause medicaid
22 spending for such period to exceed the
23 aggregate limit specified herein for such
24 period, the state medicaid director, in

26 budget and the commissioner of health,
27 shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
28 cation adjustment to limit such spending
29 to the aggregate limit specified herein
30 for such period.
31 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
32 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
33 tures authorized by the appropriations
34 herein in compliance with the following
35 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
36 in compliance with applicable federal law,
37 including the provisions of the Patient
38 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
39 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
40 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
41 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
42 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
43 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
44 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
45 made in a manner that complies with the
46 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
47 al centers for medicare and medicaid
48 services, provided, however, that the
49 commissioner of health is authorized to
50 submit any state plan amendment or seek
51 other federal approval, including waiver
52 authority, to implement the provisions of

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
2 that meets the other criteria set forth
3 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
4 manner that maximizes federal financial
5 participation, to the extent practicable,
6 including any federal financial partic-
7 ipation that is available or is reasonably
8 expected to become available, in the
9 discretion of the commissioner, under the
10 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
11 be made uniformly among categories of
12 services and geographic regions of the
13 state, to the extent practicable, and
14 shall be made uniformly within a category
15 of service, to the extent practicable,
16 except where the commissioner determines
17 that there are sufficient grounds for
18 non-uniformity, including but not limited
19 to: the extent to which specific catego-
20 ries of services contributed to department
21 of health medicaid state funds spending in
22 excess of the limits specified herein; the
23 need to maintain safety net services in
24 underserved communities; or the potential
25 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
26 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
27 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
28 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
29 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
30 shall be made in a manner that does not
31 unnecessarily create administrative
32 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
33 ents or providers.
34 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
35 legislature, as well as organizations
36 representing health care providers,
37 consumers, businesses, workers, health
38 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
39 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
40 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
41 all or part of such adjustment, in the
42 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
43 to have a material impact on the overall
44 medicaid program, particular categories of
45 service or particular geographic regions
46 of the state.
47 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
48 savings allocation adjustment on the
49 department of health's website and shall
50 provide written copies of such adjustment
51 to the chairs of the senate finance and

1 least 30 days before the date on which
2 implementation is expected to begin.
3 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
4 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
5 to the provisions of notice and prior to
6 implementation but needs to provide a new
7 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
8 this paragraph only if the commissioner
9 determines, in his or her discretion, that
10 such revisions materially alter the
11 adjustment.
12 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
13 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
14 commissioner need not seek the input
15 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
16 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
17 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
18 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
19 development and implementation of a medi-
20 caid savings allocation adjustment is
21 necessary due to a public health emergen-
22 cy.
23 For purposes of this section, a public
24 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
25 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
26 significantly increases the immediate need
27 for health care personnel in an area of
28 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
29 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
30 serious communicable disease, or the
31 potential for such widespread risk of
32 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
33 condition determined by the commissioner
34 to constitute an imminent threat to public
35 health.
36 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
37 prevent all or part of such medicaid
38 savings allocation adjustment from taking
39 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
40 ted by the federal centers for medicare
41 and medicaid services.

16 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
17 known and projected department of health
18 medicaid expenditures as described in
19 subdivision (1) of this section, and
20 factors that could result in medicaid

2 such assessment for each such period, and
3 if the director of the budget determines
4 that such expenditures are expected to

7 in for such period, the state medicaid
8 director, in consultation with the direc-
9 tor of the budget and the commissioner of

11 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-

13 in for such period.
14 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
15 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
16 tures authorized by the appropriations
17 herein in compliance with the following
18 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
19 in compliance with applicable federal law,
20 including the provisions of the Patient
21 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
22 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
23 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
24 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
25 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
26 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
27 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
28 made in a manner that complies with the
29 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
30 al centers for medicare and medicaid
31 services, provided, however, that the
32 commissioner of health is authorized to
33 submit any state plan amendment or seek
34 other federal approval, including waiver
35 authority, to implement the provisions of
36 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
37 that meets the other criteria set forth
38 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
39 manner that maximizes federal financial
40 participation, to the extent practicable,
41 including any federal financial partic-
42 ipation that is available or is reasonably
43 expected to become available, in the
44 discretion of the commissioner, under the
45 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
46 be made uniformly among categories of
47 services and geographic regions of the
48 state, to the extent practicable, and
49 shall be made uniformly within a category
50 of service, to the extent practicable,
51 except where the commissioner determines
52 that there are sufficient grounds for

1 non-uniformity, including but not limited
2 to: the extent to which specific catego-
3 ries of services contributed to department
4 of health medicaid state funds spending in
5 excess of the limits specified herein; the
6 need to maintain safety net services in
7 underserved communities; or the potential
8 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
9 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
10 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
11 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
12 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
13 shall be made in a manner that does not
14 unnecessarily create administrative
15 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
16 ents or providers.
17 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
18 legislature, as well as organizations
19 representing health care providers,
20 consumers, businesses, workers, health
21 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
22 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
23 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
24 all or part of such adjustment, in the
25 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
26 to have a material impact on the overall
27 medicaid program, particular categories of
28 service or particular geographic regions
29 of the state.
30 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
31 savings allocation adjustment on the
32 department of health's website and shall
33 provide written copies of such plan to the
34 chairs of the senate finance and the
35 assembly ways and means committees at
36 least 30 days before the date on which
37 implementation is expected to begin.
38 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
39 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
40 to the provisions of notice and prior to
41 implementation but needs to provide a new
42 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
43 this paragraph only if the commissioner
44 determines, in his or her discretion, that
45 such revisions materially alter the plan.
46 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
47 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
48 commissioner need not seek the input
49 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
50 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-

24 as a result of a natural or other type of

27 The director of the budget, in consultation
28 with the commissioner of health, shall
29 assess on a quarterly basis known and
30 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
31 ry of service and by geographic region, as
32 determined by the commissioner of health,
33 incurred both prior to and subsequent to
34 such assessment for each such period, and

43 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
44 ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
45 in for such period.
46 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
47 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
48 tures authorized by the appropriations
49 herein in compliance with the following
50 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
51 in compliance with applicable federal law,
52 including the provisions of the Patient

2 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and

4 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
5 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
6 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
7 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
8 made in a manner that complies with the
9 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
10 al centers for medicare and medicaid
11 services, provided, however, that the
12 commissioner of health is authorized to
13 submit any state plan amendment or seek
14 other federal approval, including waiver
15 authority, to implement the provisions of
16 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
17 that meets the other criteria set forth
18 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
19 manner that maximizes federal financial
20 participation, to the extent practicable,
21 including any federal financial partic-
22 ipation that is available or is reasonably
23 expected to become available, in the
24 discretion of the commissioner, under the
25 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
26 be made uniformly among categories of
27 services and geographic regions of the
28 state, to the extent practicable, and
29 shall be made uniformly within a category
30 of service, to the extent practicable,
31 except where the commissioner determines
32 that there are sufficient grounds for
33 non-uniformity, including but not limited
34 to: the extent to which specific catego-
35 ries of services contributed to department
36 of health medicaid state funds spending in
37 excess of the limits specified herein; the
38 need to maintain safety net services in
39 underserved communities; or the potential
40 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
41 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
42 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
43 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
44 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
45 shall be made in a manner that does not
46 unnecessarily create administrative
47 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
48 ents or providers.
49 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
50 legislature, as well as organizations
51 representing health care providers,

1 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
2 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
3 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
4 all or part of such adjustment, in the
5 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
6 to have a material impact on the overall
7 medicaid program, particular categories of
8 service or particular geographic regions
9 of the state.
10 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
11 savings allocation adjustment on the
12 department of health's website and shall
13 provide written copies of such plan to the
14 chairs of the senate finance and the
15 assembly ways and means committees at
16 least 30 days before the date on which
17 implementation is expected to begin.
18 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
19 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
20 to the provisions of notice and prior to
21 implementation but needs to provide a new
22 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
23 this paragraph only if the commissioner
24 determines, in his or her discretion, that
25 such revisions materially alter the plan.
26 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
27 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
28 commissioner need not seek the input
29 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
30 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
31 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
32 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
33 development and implementation of a medi-
34 caid savings allocation adjustment is
35 necessary due to a public health emergen-
36 cy.
37 For purposes of this section, a public
38 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
39 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
40 significantly increases the immediate need
41 for health care personnel in an area of
42 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
43 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
44 serious communicable disease, or the
45 potential for such widespread risk of
46 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
47 condition determined by the commissioner
48 to constitute an imminent threat to public
49 health.

51 prevent all or part of such medicaid

1 The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2024, is
2 hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
3 For reimbursement of local administrative expenses for medical assist-
4 ance programs and for state administration of medical assistance
5 programs, notwithstanding section 153 of the social services law, to
6 include the performance of eligibility and enrollment determinations
7 by the state or third-party entities designated by the state to
8 perform such services.
9 Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to the
10 approval of the director of budget, up to $23,000,000 of the amount
11 appropriated herein shall be available for the purpose of providing
12 payments to local social services districts for medical assistance
13 administration claims that exceed an administrative ceiling estab-
14 lished by the commissioner of health.
15 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law and subject to the
16 approval of the director of budget, moneys hereby appropriated may
17 be increased or decreased by transfer or interchange between these
18 appropriated amounts and appropriations of the medical assistance
19 administration program, the medical assistance program, and the
20 office of health insurance programs. Funding authority from this
21 account used for state administration of the medical assistance
22 program may be transferred to state operations appropriations within
23 the aforementioned programs at amounts agreed upon by the commis-
24 sioner of health, and the New York state division of the budget.
25 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
26 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
27 health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
28 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
29 mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
30 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
31 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
32 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
33 through [March 31, 2025] September 15 2025, shall not exceed
34 [$31,634,010,000] $33,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
35 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
36 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
37 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
38 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
39 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
40 assistance administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning
41 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
42 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
43 state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
44 tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
45 increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
46 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
47 including a governmental declaration of emergency.
48 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
49 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
50 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
51 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
52 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
2 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
3 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
4 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
5 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
6 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
7 herein for such period.
8 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
9 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
10 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
11 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
12 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
13 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
14 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
15 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
16 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
17 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
18 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
19 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
20 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
21 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
22 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
23 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
24 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
25 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
26 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
27 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
28 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
29 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
30 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
31 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
32 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
33 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
34 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
35 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
36 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
37 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
38 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
39 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
40 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
41 or providers.
42 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
43 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
44 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
45 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
46 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
47 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
48 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
49 geographic regions of the state.
50 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
51 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
52 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate

1 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
2 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
3 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
4 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
5 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
6 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
7 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
8 adjustment.
9 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
10 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
11 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
12 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
13 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
14 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
15 emergency.
16 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
17 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
18 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
19 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
20 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
21 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
22 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
23 to public health.
24 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
25 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
26 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
27 medicare and medicaid services.
28 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
29 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
30 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
31 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
32 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
33 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
34 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
35 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
36 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
37 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
38 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
39 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
40 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
41 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
42 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
43 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
44 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
45 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
46 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
47 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
48 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
49 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
50 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
51 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
52 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid

25 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
26 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
27 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
28 assistance administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning
29 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
30 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and

32 tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
33 increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
34 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
35 including a governmental declaration of emergency.
36 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
37 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
38 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
39 as defined by the commissioner, incurred both prior to and subse-
40 quent to such assessment for each such period, and if the director
41 of the budget determines that such expenditures are expected to
42 cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the aggregate
43 limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid director,
44 in consultation with the director of the budget and the commissioner
45 of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation adjustment to
46 limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such
47 period.
48 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
49 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in

1 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be

4 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
5 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
6 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
7 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
8 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
9 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
10 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
11 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
12 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
13 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
14 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
15 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
16 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
17 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
18 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
19 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
20 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
21 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
22 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
23 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
24 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
25 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
26 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
27 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
28 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
29 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
30 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
31 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
32 or providers.
33 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
34 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
35 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
36 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
37 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
38 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
39 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
40 geographic regions of the state.
41 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
42 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
43 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
44 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
45 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
46 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
47 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
48 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
49 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
50 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
51 adjustment.

2 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
3 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to

5 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
6 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
7 emergency.
8 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
9 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
10 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
11 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
12 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
13 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
14 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
15 to public health.
16 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
17 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
18 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
19 medicare and medicaid services.
20 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
21 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
22 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
23 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
24 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
25 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
26 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
27 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying or discontinuing
28 medicaid program benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,
29 including, but not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and
30 suspending time frames for notice, approval or certification of rate
31 requirements, notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regu-
32 lation to the contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807
33 and 3614 of the public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
34 laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
35 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
36 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
37 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
38 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
39 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
40 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
41 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
42 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
43 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
44 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
45 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
46 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
47 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
48 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
49 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
50 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
51 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
2 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
3 assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
4 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
5 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
6 state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
7 tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
8 increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
9 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
10 including a governmental declaration of emergency.
11 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
12 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
13 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
14 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
15 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
16 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
17 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
18 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
19 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
20 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
21 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
22 herein for such period.
23 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
24 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
25 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
26 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
27 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
28 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
29 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
30 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
31 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
32 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
33 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
34 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
35 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
36 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
37 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
38 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
39 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
40 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
41 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
42 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
43 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
44 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
45 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
46 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
47 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
48 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
49 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
50 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
51 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
52 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
993 12553-06-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
2 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
3 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
4 or providers.
5 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
6 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
7 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
8 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
9 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
10 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
11 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
12 geographic regions of the state.
13 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
14 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
15 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
16 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
17 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
18 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
19 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
20 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
21 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
22 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
23 plan.
24 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
25 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
26 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
27 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
28 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
29 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
30 emergency.
31 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
32 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
33 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
34 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
35 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
36 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
37 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
38 to public health.
39 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
40 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
41 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
42 medicare and medicaid services.
43 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
44 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
45 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
46 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
47 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
48 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
49 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
50 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
51 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but

AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
2 ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
3 need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
4 service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
5 ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
6 January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
7 statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
8 payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
9 further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
10 shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
11 Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2024-2026
12 calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $139,400,000
13 shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general
14 public hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be distributed as Medicaid
15 DSH payments to eligible general hospitals, other than major public
16 general hospitals, for each of the calendar years 2024-2026,
17 provided that the total distributions to eligible general hospitals,
18 other than major public general hospitals, shall be subject to a
19 reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and further provided that eligi-
20 ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
21 fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
22 public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
23 Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
24 by the department of health which may take into account the payor
25 mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
26 inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
27 For calendar years 2024-2026, eligible general hospitals other than
28 major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
29 hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
30 health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
31 section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution
32 of $64,600,000 annually proportional to the reduction experienced by
33 the facility and pursuant to a methodology determined to the commis-
34 sioner.
35 Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of

3 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
4 through [March 31, 2025] September 15, 2025, shall not exceed
5 [$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
6 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
7 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
8 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
9 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
10 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
11 assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
12 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
13 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
14 state costs or savings from the essential plan. Such projections may
15 be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
16 or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
17 as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
18 governmental declaration of emergency.
19 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
20 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
21 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
22 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
23 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
24 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
25 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
26 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
27 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
28 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
29 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
30 herein for such period.
31 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
32 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
33 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
34 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
35 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
36 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
37 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
38 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
39 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
40 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
41 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
42 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
43 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
44 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
45 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
46 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
47 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
48 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
49 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
50 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
51 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
52 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
2 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
3 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
4 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
5 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
6 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
7 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
8 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
9 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
10 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
11 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
12 or providers.
13 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
14 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
15 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
16 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
17 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
18 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
19 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
20 geographic regions of the state.
21 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
22 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
23 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
24 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
25 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
26 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
27 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
28 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
29 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
30 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
31 plan.
32 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
33 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
34 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
35 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
36 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
37 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
38 emergency.
39 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
40 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
41 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
42 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
43 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
44 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
45 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
46 to public health.
47 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
48 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
49 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
50 medicare and medicaid services.
51 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
52 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
