1 Section 1. a) The several amounts specified in this chapter for aid to

4 authorized to be paid as hereinafter provided, to the respective public

1 For the purpose of complying with the state finance law, the year,
2 chapter and section of the last act reappropriating a former original
3 appropriation or any part thereof is, unless otherwise indicated, chap-
4 ter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2025.
5 d) No moneys appropriated by this chapter shall be available for
6 payment until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director
7 of the budget, who shall file such certificate with the department of
8 audit and control, the chairperson of the senate finance committee and
9 the chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee.
10 e) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or any other law to
11 the contrary, if, on a cash basis of accounting, a general fund imbal-
12 ance has or is expected to occur in fiscal year 2026-27, the budget
13 director is hereby authorized to withhold all or some of the amounts
14 appropriated herein, including amounts that are to be paid on specific
15 dates prescribed in law or regulation. Prior to withholding any amounts,
16 the director shall consider whether other means are available for accom-
17 plishing the purposes of this provision. Provided further, the director
18 shall consider the impact of any such amounts to be withheld. To the
19 extent the state is obligated to make payment to any individual or enti-
20 ty pursuant to any appropriation contained herein, such obligation shall
21 be reduced commensurate with such payments withheld by the director of
22 the budget.
23 The following types of appropriations shall be exempt from such with-
24 holds pursuant to this provision: (a) public assistance payments for
25 families and individuals and payments for eligible aged, blind and disa-
26 bled persons related to supplemental social security; (b) any reductions
27 that would violate federal law; (c) payments of debt service and related
28 expenses for which the state is constitutionally obligated to pay debt
29 service or is contractually obligated to pay debt service, subject to an
30 appropriation, including where the state has a contingent contractual
31 obligation; and (d) payments the state is obligated to make pursuant to
32 court orders or judgments.
33 For purposes of this provision, a general fund imbalance shall occur
34 if any state fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update
35 required by subdivision 4 of section 23 of the state finance law
36 reflects, or if at any point during the final quarter of state fiscal
37 year 2026-27 the budget director projects, that estimated general fund
38 receipts and/or estimated general fund disbursements have or will vary
39 from the estimates included in the state fiscal year 2026-27 enacted
40 budget financial plan required by sections 22 and 23 of the state
41 finance law results in a cumulative budget imbalance of $2,000,000,000
42 or more. Provided however, that such $2,000,000,000 must be calculated
43 without considering any payments withheld in accordance with this
44 provision or any depletion of the state fiscal year 2026-27 transaction
45 risk reserve accounting mechanism.
46 "Estimated general fund receipts" shall mean general fund tax
47 receipts, after payment of debt service and miscellaneous receipts esti-
48 mated by the budget director to be received during state fiscal year
49 2026-27.
50 "Estimated general funds disbursements" shall mean general funds
51 disbursements, including transfers, estimated by the budget director to
52 be made during state fiscal year 2026-27.
53 No later than ten business days following the issuance of any state
54 fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update that includes a
55 determination, and/or the date in the final quarter of the state fiscal
56 year 2026-27 upon which the budget director determines, that a general
3 12653-07-6
1 fund imbalance exists, the budget director shall provide notification of
2 payments that will be withheld pursuant to this provision to the presi-
3 dent pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the assembly.
4 Provided, however, the aggregate amount of payments withheld pursuant to
5 this provision shall at no point be in an amount greater than the deter-
6 mined cumulative general fund imbalance. Provided further however,
7 before any payments may be withheld pursuant to this provision, the
8 budget director shall first deplete the $2,000,000,000 transaction risk
9 reserve accounting mechanism to resolve the determined general fund
10 imbalance, as practicable. Such notification will also identify any
11 other means the budget director intends to use to resolve any portion of
12 the general fund imbalance, including but not limited to the aforemen-
13 tioned depletion of the transaction risk reserve and/or any other
14 resources.
15 Following such budget director notification, the legislature shall
16 have ten business days to prepare and adopt by concurrent resolution its
17 own withhold plan which conforms with the requirements of this
18 provision, and which achieves the same aggregate of payment withholds as
19 the budget director's withhold plan. If after ten business days follow-
20 ing the budget director's notification the legislature fails to prepare
21 and adopt its own withhold plan, or if the budget director determines
22 that the withhold plan prepared and adopted by the legislature does not
23 conform with the requirements of this provision, the withholds identi-
24 fied in the budget director's withhold plan will immediately take
25 effect.
26 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or any other
27 provision of law to the contrary, any payments withheld pursuant to this
28 section may be paid in full or in part if a subsequent general fund
29 surplus materializes in state fiscal year 2026-27.
30 f) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to
31 the approval of the director of the budget, the federal funds appropri-
32 ated herein shall be available for the purposes of the stated program,
33 regardless of the federal agency administering such program, and may be
34 expended for all eligible costs consistent with applicable federal laws
35 and regulations, including pursuant to a memorandum of understanding or
36 interagency agreement with other state departments or agencies for the
37 administration or operation of such program.
38 g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, upon enact-
39 ment of this chapter of the laws of 2026 containing the aid to locali-
40 ties budget bill for the state fiscal year 2026-27, all appropriations
41 and reappropriations contained in chapter 53 of the laws of 2025, which
42 would otherwise lapse by operation of law on March 31, 2027 are hereby
43 repealed.
44 h) The appropriations contained in this chapter shall be available for
45 the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026 except as otherwise noted.

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

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

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

1 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a portion of the funds are
2 available to reimburse social services districts for the change in
3 the maximum state aid rates established by the office of children
4 and family services for the 2025-26 rate year pursuant to section
5 398-a of the social services law and sections 4003 and 4405 of the
6 education law to reflect the continuation of the cost of living
7 adjustments that became effective April 1, 2008 for payments made to
8 foster parents and for salary and fringe benefit costs and other
9 critical nonpersonal services costs for foster care programs as
10 determined by the office. Social services districts must adjust the
11 amount of payments made for care provided by congregate care and
12 foster boarding home programs and to foster parents to reflect the
13 cost of living adjustments in the manner specified by the office.
14 Each authorized agency operating a congregate care or foster board-
15 ing home program in New York state for which the office sets a maxi-
16 mum state aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the social services
17 law or section 4003 or 4405 of the education law shall submit, at
18 the time and in a manner to be determined by the office, a written
19 certification, attesting that the funds received for the continua-
20 tion of the cost of living adjustment to the maximum state aid rate
21 that became effective April 1, 2008 for that program will be or were
22 used solely in accordance with the requirements of the cost of
23 living adjustment established by the office.
24 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law including, but not
25 limited to, any chapter of the laws of 2025 which enacts a targeted
26 inflationary increase for the state fiscal year beginning on April
27 1, 2025, the commissioner shall continue to apply any cost of living
28 adjustment increase in effect on March 31, 2025 for the entire rate
29 year that began when such cost of living adjustment increase was in
30 effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the
31 commissioner shall apply a 2.6 percent targeted inflationary
32 increase for the rate year that begins on July 1, 2025 for the
33 purposes of establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other
34 form of reimbursement, provided that this shall not prevent the
35 commissioner from applying additional trend or staff retention
36 factors for this program.
37 Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each
38 social services district for services identified herein that are
39 otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2025 through March
40 31, 2026 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter
41 referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand-
42 ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
43 based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted
44 by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
45 active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2024 that
46 are submitted on or before January 2, 2025 and, in part, on such
47 other factors as determined by the office of children and family

4 district during the next state fiscal year up to the amount remain-
5 ing from the district's foster care block grant allocation, provided
6 however, that any claims for such services during the next state
7 fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
8 state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
9 for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department
10 of family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
11 the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services district for
12 reimbursement for a particular state fiscal year for which the
13 social services district does not receive state or federal
14 reimbursement during that state fiscal year may not be claimed
15 against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state
16 fiscal year.
17 The office of children and family services, with the approval of the
18 director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo-
19 cation by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive
20 reimbursement for such foster care services identified herein. The
21 office, with the approval of the director of the budget, may reduce
22 a district's block grant allocation by the state share of disallow-
23 ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
24 services law or federal law.
25 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state shall not be
26 responsible for reimbursing a social services district and a
27 district shall not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
28 state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
29 district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
30 agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after July 1, 1995,
31 when such disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
32 social services district to comply with federal or state require-
33 ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
34 ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
35 er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
36 services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
37 solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
38 the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
39 ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
40 provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
41 both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
42 sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made
43 prior to or after April 1, 2025.

45 resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
46 uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by the
47 state to any and all social services districts that the office of
48 children and family services has determined have not complied with
49 the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
50 sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
51 but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the

1 criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to
2 establish and continue title IV-E eligibility for all title IV-E
3 eligible children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
4 funding only for cases that meet all of the title IV-E eligibility
5 criteria; and fully implement the social services payment system on
6 or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary agency foster
7 care services.
8 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the office of children and
9 family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
10 al disallowance issued against the state as a result of a federal
11 title IV-E secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
12 children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or
13 payment errors occurred, or the filing date of any federal claims
14 for reimbursement; provided, however, that the state shall be
15 responsible for the disallowed costs and expenditures related to the
16 placement of children in a facility operated by the office of chil-
17 dren and family services, which shall be determined in the same
18 manner as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
19 districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the
20 federal government for the full amount of any disallowance imposed
21 on the state by the federal administration for children and families
22 within the timeframes necessary to avoid any potential interest
23 payments on such amount, the office of children and family services
24 is authorized to immediately offset funds otherwise due to each
25 district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
26 the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by that
27 district for the relevant time period as compared to the total
28 applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The amount of the offset
29 against each district will be adjusted, if necessary, upon
30 completion of the disallowance allocation process. The final allo-
31 cation of the amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
32 title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
33 districts so that each district shall be responsible for the amount
34 attributable to each of the district's children or cases that are
35 determined by the federal review to be unallowable. Each district
36 shall also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
37 disallowance amount based on the relative error rate for the
38 district. The city of New York's error rate will be based on the
39 federal sample and federal statistics. For all social services
40 districts other than the city of New York, the error rate will be
41 based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of children
42 and/or cases determined by the office of children and family
43 services and a re-review of a sub-sample by the office of those
44 children and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
45 dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
46 lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
47 office of children and family services shall notify each social
48 services district of the sample of children and/or cases from the
49 federal audit period that the social services district must review.
50 Any child or case from the social services district that was
51 included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the

AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 social services district's review sample and the determination made
2 at the federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
3 the purposes of the social services district's review. The social
4 services district must complete and submit the results of its review
5 to the office of children and family services within 60 days of
6 receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
7 on the findings of the district's review and the office of children
8 and family services' re-review. If a social services district does
9 not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample from
10 the office of children and family services, the office of children
11 and family services shall assign an error rate to the social
12 services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
13 applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to
14 applicable statewide title IV-E claims for that period and other
15 circumstances that the office of children and family services may
16 consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the federal disallow-
17 ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
18 social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
19 district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
20 istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
21 social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
22 of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
23 disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
24 amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
25 will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
26 to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
27 district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
28 disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
29 amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
30 responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
31 disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
32 during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
33 review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
34 social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
35 civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
36 action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
37 necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
38 selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
39 its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
40 appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
41 another social services district.
42 The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state
43 aid heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities.
44 Subject to the approval of the director of the budget, such funds
45 shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds,
46 reimbursements, and credits.

2 the municipality for eligible expenditures for eligible services
3 provided during the period of April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015
4 for which the municipality was unable to claim within the required
5 timeframes and for non-recurring eligible services or expenses that
6 will occur during the period April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
7 Any funds that are remaining after all such waivers have been
8 approved may be used to provide additional reimbursement to those
9 counties that chose to transfer funds from their detention block
10 grants into their supervision and treatment services for juveniles
11 programs for the April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 program period
12 proportionately to the amount each such district transferred.
13 Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 529-b of the
14 executive law or any other law to contrary, a municipality that was
15 eligible for a minimum funding allocation under the supervision and
16 treatment services for juveniles program for state fiscal year

18 to the office of children and family services for a waiver of the
19 local share requirement for the program funds for state fiscal year
20 2014-15 upon a showing that the municipality has fiscal issues that
21 significantly impact its ability to provide the required local share
22 and that providing the program funds to the municipality without a
23 local share will enable the municipality to implement services
24 designed to decrease the use of detention or residential care for
25 such youth.
26 Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement shall be
27 limited to the amount of such municipality's distribution. The
28 office of children and family services shall not reimburse any
29 claims unless they are submitted within 12 months of the calendar
30 quarter in which the claimed services were delivered. These funds

37 designed to provide community-level services to promote positive
38 youth development but shall not include approved runaway programs or
39 transitional independent living support programs as such terms are

6 shall include the number of youth under the age of twenty-one resid-
7 ing in the municipality as shown by the last published federal
8 census certified in the same manner as provided by section fiftyfour
9 of the state finance law and may include, but not be limited to, the

13 development funds that a municipality would allocate to an approved
14 local youth bureau pursuant to an approved comprehensive plan may be

15 The director of the budget, in consultation

17 assess on a quarterly basis known and
18 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
19 ry of service and by geographic region, as
20 determined by the commissioner of health,
21 incurred both prior to and subsequent to
22 such assessment for each such period, and
23 if the director of the budget determines
24 that such expenditures are expected to
25 cause medicaid spending for such period to
26 exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
27 in for such period, the state medicaid
28 director, in consultation with the direc-
29 tor of the budget and the commissioner of

31 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
32 ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
33 in for such period.
34 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
35 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
36 tures authorized by the appropriations
37 herein in compliance with the following
38 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
39 in compliance with applicable federal law,
40 including the provisions of the Patient
41 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
42 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
43 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 submit any state plan amendment or seek
2 other federal approval, including waiver
3 authority, to implement the provisions of
4 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
5 that meets the other criteria set forth
6 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
7 manner that maximizes federal financial
8 participation, to the extent practicable,
9 including any federal financial partic-
10 ipation that is available or is reasonably
11 expected to become available, in the
12 discretion of the commissioner, under the
13 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
14 be made uniformly among categories of
15 services and geographic regions of the
16 state, to the extent practicable, and
17 shall be made uniformly within a category
18 of service, to the extent practicable,
19 except where the commissioner determines
20 that there are sufficient grounds for
21 non-uniformity, including but not limited
22 to: the extent to which specific catego-
23 ries of services contributed to department
24 of health medicaid state funds spending in
25 excess of the limits specified herein; the
26 need to maintain safety net services in
27 underserved communities; or the potential
28 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
29 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
30 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
31 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
32 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
33 shall be made in a manner that does not
34 unnecessarily create administrative
35 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
36 ents or providers.
37 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
38 legislature, as well as organizations
39 representing health care providers,
40 consumers, businesses, workers, health
41 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
42 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
43 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
44 all or part of such adjustment, in the
45 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
46 to have a material impact on the overall
47 medicaid program, particular categories of
48 service or particular geographic regions
49 of the state.
50 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
51 savings allocation adjustment on the
52 department of health's website and shall
862 12653-07-6

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

52 reimbursement methods, including but not

7 necessary federal approvals, including,
8 but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
9 ments; and suspending time frames for
10 notice, approval or certification of rate
11 requirements, notwithstanding any
12 provision of law, rule or regulation to

14 sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
15 health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
16 laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
17 The department of health shall prepare a
18 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
19 known and projected department of health
20 medicaid expenditures as described in
21 subdivision (1) of this section, and
22 factors that could result in medicaid
23 disbursements for the relevant state
24 fiscal year to exceed the projected
25 department of health state funds disburse-
26 ments in the enacted budget financial plan
27 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
28 the state finance law, including spending
29 increases or decreases due to: enrollment
30 fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
31 changes, MRT investments, and shift of
32 beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
33 ations in offline medicaid payments; and
34 (b) the actions taken to implement any
35 medicaid savings allocation adjustment
36 implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
37 this section, including information
38 concerning the impact of such actions on
39 each category of service and each
40 geographic region of the state. Each such

7 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
8 manner that maximizes federal financial
9 participation, to the extent practicable,
10 including any federal financial partic-
11 ipation that is available or is reasonably
12 expected to become available, in the
13 discretion of the commissioner, under the
14 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
15 be made uniformly among categories of
16 services and geographic regions of the
17 state, to the extent practicable, and
18 shall be made uniformly within a category
19 of service, to the extent practicable,
20 except where the commissioner determines
21 that there are sufficient grounds for
22 non-uniformity, including but not limited
23 to: the extent to which specific catego-
24 ries of services contributed to department
25 of health medicaid state funds spending in
26 excess of the limits specified herein; the
27 need to maintain safety net services in
28 underserved communities; or the potential
29 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
30 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
31 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
32 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
33 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
34 shall be made in a manner that does not
35 unnecessarily create administrative
36 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
37 ents or providers.
38 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
39 legislature, as well as organizations
40 representing health care providers,
41 consumers, businesses, workers, health
42 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
43 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
44 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
45 all or part of such adjustment, in the
46 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
47 to have a material impact on the overall
48 medicaid program, particular categories of
49 service or particular geographic regions
50 of the state.
51 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
52 savings allocation adjustment on the
871 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 department of health's website and shall
2 provide written copies of such adjustment
3 to the chairs of the senate finance and
4 the assembly ways and means committees at
5 least 30 days before the date on which
6 implementation is expected to begin.
7 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
8 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
9 to the provisions of notice and prior to
10 implementation but needs to provide a new
11 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
12 this paragraph only if the commissioner
13 determines, in his or her discretion, that
14 such revisions materially alter the
15 adjustment.
16 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
17 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
18 commissioner need not seek the input
19 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
20 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
21 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
22 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
23 development and implementation of a medi-
24 caid savings allocation adjustment is
25 necessary due to a public health emergen-
26 cy.
27 For purposes of this section, a public
28 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
29 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
30 significantly increases the immediate need
31 for health care personnel in an area of
32 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
33 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
34 serious communicable disease, or the
35 potential for such widespread risk of
36 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
37 condition determined by the commissioner
38 to constitute an imminent threat to public
39 health.
40 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
41 prevent all or part of such medicaid
42 savings allocation adjustment from taking
43 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
44 ted by the federal centers for medicare
45 and medicaid services.
46 In accordance with the medicaid savings
47 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
48 the department of health shall reduce
49 department of health state funds medicaid
50 spending by the amount of the projected
51 overspending through, actions including,
52 but not limited to modifying or suspending

5 amount or methodology for any such
6 payments or rates of payment; modifying or
7 discontinuing medicaid program benefits;
8 seeking all necessary federal approvals,
9 including, but not limited to waivers,
10 waiver amendments; and suspending time
11 frames for notice, approval or certif-
12 ication of rate requirements, notwith-
13 standing any provision of law, rule or
14 regulation to the contrary, including but
15 not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of
16 the public health law, section 18 of chap-
17 ter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR
18 505.14(h).
19 The department of health shall prepare a
20 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
21 known and projected department of health
22 medicaid expenditures as described in
23 subdivision (1) of this section, and
24 factors that could result in medicaid
25 disbursements for the relevant state
26 fiscal year to exceed the projected
27 department of health state funds disburse-
28 ments in the enacted budget financial plan
29 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
30 the state finance law, including spending
31 increases or decreases due to: enrollment
32 fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
33 changes, MRT investments, and shift of
34 beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
35 ations in offline medicaid payments; and
36 (b) the actions taken to implement any
37 medicaid savings allocation adjustment
38 implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
39 this section, including information
40 concerning the impact of such actions on
41 each category of service and each
42 geographic region of the state. Each such
43 quarterly report shall be provided to the
44 chairs of the senate finance and the
45 assembly ways and means committees and
46 shall be posted on the department of
47 health's website in a timely manner.

1 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
2 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
3 tures authorized by the appropriations
4 herein in compliance with the following
5 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
6 in compliance with applicable federal law,
7 including the provisions of the Patient
8 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
9 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
10 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
11 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
12 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
13 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
14 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
15 made in a manner that complies with the
16 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
17 al centers for medicare and medicaid
18 services, provided, however, that the
19 commissioner of health is authorized to
20 submit any state plan amendment or seek
21 other federal approval, including waiver
22 authority, to implement the provisions of
23 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
24 that meets the other criteria set forth
25 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
26 manner that maximizes federal financial
27 participation, to the extent practicable,
28 including any federal financial partic-
29 ipation that is available or is reasonably
30 expected to become available, in the
31 discretion of the commissioner, under the
32 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
33 be made uniformly among categories of
34 services and geographic regions of the
35 state, to the extent practicable, and
36 shall be made uniformly within a category
37 of service, to the extent practicable,
38 except where the commissioner determines
39 that there are sufficient grounds for
40 non-uniformity, including but not limited
41 to: the extent to which specific catego-
42 ries of services contributed to department
43 of health medicaid state funds spending in
44 excess of the limits specified herein; the
45 need to maintain safety net services in
46 underserved communities; or the potential
47 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
48 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
49 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
50 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
51 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
52 shall be made in a manner that does not
889 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 unnecessarily create administrative
2 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
3 ents or providers.
4 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
5 legislature, as well as organizations
6 representing health care providers,
7 consumers, businesses, workers, health
8 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
9 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
10 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
11 all or part of such adjustment, in the
12 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
13 to have a material impact on the overall
14 medicaid program, particular categories of
15 service or particular geographic regions
16 of the state.
17 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
18 savings allocation adjustment on the
19 department of health's website and shall
20 provide written copies of such plan to the
21 chairs of the senate finance and the
22 assembly ways and means committees at
23 least 30 days before the date on which
24 implementation is expected to begin.
25 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
26 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
27 to the provisions of notice and prior to
28 implementation but needs to provide a new
29 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
30 this paragraph only if the commissioner
31 determines, in his or her discretion, that
32 such revisions materially alter the plan.
33 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
34 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
35 commissioner need not seek the input
36 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
37 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
38 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
39 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
40 development and implementation of a medi-
41 caid savings allocation adjustment is
42 necessary due to a public health emergen-
43 cy.
44 For purposes of this section, a public
45 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
46 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
47 significantly increases the immediate need
48 for health care personnel in an area of
49 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
50 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
51 serious communicable disease, or the
52 potential for such widespread risk of
890 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
2 condition determined by the commissioner
3 to constitute an imminent threat to public
4 health.
5 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
6 prevent all or part of such medicaid
7 savings allocation adjustment from taking
8 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
9 ted by the federal centers for medicare
10 and medicaid services.
11 In accordance with the medicaid savings
12 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
13 the department of health shall reduce
14 department of health state funds medicaid
15 spending by the amount of the projected
16 overspending through, actions including,
17 but not limited to modifying or suspending
18 reimbursement methods, including but not
19 limited to all fees, premium levels and
20 rates of payment, notwithstanding any
21 provision of law that sets a specific
22 amount or methodology for any such
23 payments or rates of payment; modifying
24 medicaid program benefits; seeking all
25 necessary federal approvals, including,
26 but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
27 ments; and suspending time frames for
28 notice, approval or certification of rate
29 requirements, notwithstanding any
30 provision of law, rule or regulation to
31 the contrary, including but not limited to
32 sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
33 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
36 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
37 known and projected department of health
38 medicaid expenditures as described in
39 subdivision (1) of this section, and
40 factors that could result in medicaid
41 disbursements for the relevant state
42 fiscal year to exceed the projected
43 department of health state funds disburse-
44 ments in the enacted budget financial plan
45 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
46 the state finance law, including spending
47 increases or decreases due to: enrollment
48 fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
49 changes, MRT investments, and shift of
50 beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
51 ations in offline medicaid payments; and

1 The director of the budget, in consultation
2 with the commissioner of health, shall
3 assess on a quarterly basis known and
4 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
5 ry of service and by geographic region, as
6 determined by the commissioner of health,
7 incurred both prior to and subsequent to
8 such assessment for each such period, and
9 if the director of the budget determines
10 that such expenditures are expected to
11 cause medicaid spending for such period to
12 exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
13 in for such period, the state medicaid
14 director, in consultation with the direc-
15 tor of the budget and the commissioner of
16 health, shall develop a medicaid savings
17 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
18 ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
19 in for such period.
20 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
21 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
22 tures authorized by the appropriations
23 herein in compliance with the following
24 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
25 in compliance with applicable federal law,
26 including the provisions of the Patient
27 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
28 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
29 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
30 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
31 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
32 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
33 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
34 made in a manner that complies with the
35 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
36 al centers for medicare and medicaid
37 services, provided, however, that the
38 commissioner of health is authorized to
39 submit any state plan amendment or seek
40 other federal approval, including waiver
41 authority, to implement the provisions of
42 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
43 that meets the other criteria set forth
44 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
45 manner that maximizes federal financial
46 participation, to the extent practicable,
47 including any federal financial partic-
48 ipation that is available or is reasonably
49 expected to become available, in the
50 discretion of the commissioner, under the
51 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
52 be made uniformly among categories of
895 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 services and geographic regions of the
2 state, to the extent practicable, and
3 shall be made uniformly within a category
4 of service, to the extent practicable,
5 except where the commissioner determines
6 that there are sufficient grounds for
7 non-uniformity, including but not limited
8 to: the extent to which specific catego-
9 ries of services contributed to department
10 of health medicaid state funds spending in
11 excess of the limits specified herein; the
12 need to maintain safety net services in
13 underserved communities; or the potential
14 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
15 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
16 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
17 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
18 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
19 shall be made in a manner that does not
20 unnecessarily create administrative
21 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
22 ents or providers.
23 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
24 legislature, as well as organizations
25 representing health care providers,
26 consumers, businesses, workers, health
27 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
28 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
29 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
30 all or part of such adjustment, in the
31 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
32 to have a material impact on the overall
33 medicaid program, particular categories of
34 service or particular geographic regions
35 of the state.
36 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
37 savings allocation adjustment on the
38 department of health's website and shall
39 provide written copies of such plan to the
40 chairs of the senate finance and the
41 assembly ways and means committees at
42 least 30 days before the date on which
43 implementation is expected to begin.
44 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
45 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
46 to the provisions of notice and prior to
47 implementation but needs to provide a new
48 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
49 this paragraph only if the commissioner
50 determines, in his or her discretion, that
51 such revisions materially alter the plan.

2 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
3 commissioner need not seek the input
4 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
5 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
6 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
7 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
8 development and implementation of a medi-
9 caid savings allocation adjustment is
10 necessary due to a public health emergen-
11 cy.
12 For purposes of this section, a public
13 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
14 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
15 significantly increases the immediate need

17 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
18 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
19 serious communicable disease, or the
20 potential for such widespread risk of
21 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
22 condition determined by the commissioner
23 to constitute an imminent threat to public
24 health.
25 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
26 prevent all or part of such medicaid
27 savings allocation adjustment from taking
28 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
29 ted by the federal centers for medicare
30 and medicaid services.
31 In accordance with the medicaid savings
32 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
33 the department of health shall reduce
34 department of health state funds medicaid
35 spending by the amount of the projected
36 overspending through, actions including,
37 but not limited to modifying or suspending
38 reimbursement methods, including but not
39 limited to all fees, premium levels and
40 rates of payment, notwithstanding any
41 provision of law that sets a specific
42 amount or methodology for any such
43 payments or rates of payment; modifying
44 medicaid program benefits; seeking all
45 necessary federal approvals, including,
46 but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
47 ments; and suspending time frames for
48 notice, approval or certification of rate
49 requirements, notwithstanding any

4 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
5 known and projected department of health
6 medicaid expenditures as described in

8 factors that could result in medicaid
9 disbursements for the relevant state
10 fiscal year to exceed the projected
11 department of health state funds disburse-
12 ments in the enacted budget financial plan
13 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
14 the state finance law, including spending
15 increases or decreases due to: enrollment
16 fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
17 changes, MRT investments, and shift of
18 beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-
19 ations in offline medicaid payments; and
20 (b) the actions taken to implement any
21 medicaid savings allocation adjustment
22 implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
23 this section, including information
24 concerning the impact of such actions on
25 each category of service and each
26 geographic region of the state. Each such
27 quarterly report shall be provided to the
28 chairs of the senate finance and the
29 assembly ways and means committees and
30 shall be posted on the department of

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

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

6 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,

15 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a

3 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2025
4 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
5 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
6 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
7 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
8 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
9 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
10 local social services district payments for medical assistance
11 administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning April 1, 2012
12 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
13 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
14 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
15 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
16 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
17 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
18 mental 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 defined by the commissioner, incurred both prior to and subse-
23 quent to such assessment for each such period, and if the director
24 of the budget determines that such expenditures are expected to
25 cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the aggregate
26 limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid director,
27 in consultation with the director of the budget and the commissioner
28 of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation adjustment to
29 limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such
30 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-
990 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
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 adjustment to the chairs of the senate
24 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
25 before the 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 adjustment.
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

1 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
2 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
3 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
4 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
5 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
6 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
7 local social services district payments for medical assistance
8 administration, minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012
9 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
10 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
11 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
12 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
13 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
14 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
15 mental declaration of emergency.
16 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
17 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
18 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
19 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
20 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
21 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
22 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
23 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
24 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
25 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
26 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
27 herein for such period.
28 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
29 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
30 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
31 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
32 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
33 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
34 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
35 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
36 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
37 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
38 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
39 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
40 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
41 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
42 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
43 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
44 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
45 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
46 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
47 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
48 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
49 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
50 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
51 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
52 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
1014 12653-07-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
2 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
3 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
4 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
5 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
6 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
7 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
8 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
9 or providers.
10 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
11 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
12 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
13 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
14 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
15 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
16 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
17 geographic regions of the state.
18 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
19 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
20 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
21 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
22 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
23 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
24 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
25 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
26 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
27 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
28 plan.
29 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
30 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
31 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
32 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
33 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
34 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
35 emergency.
36 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
37 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
38 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
39 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
40 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
41 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
42 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
43 to public health.
44 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
45 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
46 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
47 medicare and medicaid services.
48 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
49 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
50 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
51 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
52 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited

6 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
7 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
8 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
9 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
10 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
11 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
12 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
13 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
14 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
15 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
16 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
17 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
18 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
19 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
20 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
21 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
22 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
23 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
24 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
25 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
26 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
27 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
28 timely manner.
29 For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
30 ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
31 state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
32 intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
33 costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
34 medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
35 hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
36 public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
37 services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
38 title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
39 program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
40 health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
41 28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
42 such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
43 of the public health law. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
44 of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may be increased or decreased
45 by interchange or transfer with any appropriation of the department
46 of health with the approval of the director of the budget, who shall
47 file such approval with the department of audit and control and
48 copies thereof with the chairman of the senate finance committee and
49 the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.

51 sistent provision of law, and subject to the availability of federal

2 ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
3 shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
4 The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
5 ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
6 need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
7 service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
8 ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
9 January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
10 statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
11 payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
12 further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
13 shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
14 Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2025-2027
15 calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $82,700,000
16 shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general
17 public hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be distributed as Medicaid
18 DSH payments to eligible general hospitals, other than major public
19 general hospitals, for each of the calendar years 2025-2027,
20 provided that the total distributions to eligible general hospitals,
21 other than major public general hospitals, shall be subject to a
22 reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and further provided that eligi-
23 ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
24 fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
25 public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
26 Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
27 by the department of health which may take into account the payor
28 mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
29 inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
30 For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible general hospitals other than
31 major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
32 hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
33 health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
34 section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution
35 of $64,600,000 annually proportional to the reduction experienced by
36 the facility and pursuant to a methodology determined to the commis-
37 sioner.

24 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
25 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
26 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
27 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
28 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
29 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
30 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
31 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
32 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
33 herein for such period.
34 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
35 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
36 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
37 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
38 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
39 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
40 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
41 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
42 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
43 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
44 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
45 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
46 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
47 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
48 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
49 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
50 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
51 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
52 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under

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

20 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
21 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
22 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
23 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
24 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
25 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
26 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
27 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
28 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
29 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
30 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
31 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
32 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
