NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A6733
 
SPONSOR: Clark
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to exempting certain income for the purpose of determining aid provided pursuant to public assistance programs   PURPOSE: To exempt income derived from childcare funding from an individual childcare provider's income when determining benefits   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Adds income derived from funding from childcare stabilization grants, childcare desert .funding, or other non-recurring funding, issued by the office of children and family services to childcare providers as exempt income to be disregarded when determining benefits issued to provider. Section 2: Establishes effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Many homebased childcare providers are not set up as a corporate entity. Due to this, funding issued by OCFS within the state budget to stabilize providers and grow the number of providers in the state has been deemed income for many of these providers, causing their income to artificially increase and disqualify them from certain govetnment programs. These were non-recurring payments which were reinvested back in their programs for ,Covid-19 supplies, staff, and other items. This legislation would exempt these payments from being considered income when calculating public assistance benefits.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to. state.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately
