7 cost of living adjustment established by
8 the office.
9 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
10 of law including, but not limited to, any
11 chapter of the laws of 2025 which enacts a
12 targeted inflationary increase for the
13 state fiscal year beginning on April 1,
14 2025, the commissioner shall continue to
15 apply any cost of living adjustment
16 increase in effect on March 31, 2025 for
17 the entire rate year that began when such
18 cost of living adjustment increase was in
19 effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
20 provision of law, the commissioner shall
21 apply a 2.1 percent targeted inflationary
22 increase for the rate year that begins on
23 July 1, 2025 for the purposes of estab-
24 lishing rates of payments, contracts, or
25 any other form of reimbursement, provided
26 that this shall not prevent the commis-
27 sioner from applying additional trend or
28 staff retention factors for this program.
29 Within the amounts appropriated herein,
30 state reimbursement to each social
31 services district for services identified
32 herein that are otherwise reimbursable by
33 the state from April 1, 2025 through March
34 31, 2026 shall be limited to a district
35 allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
36 district's block grant allocation.
37 Notwithstanding any other provision of
38 law, such block grant allocation shall be
39 based, in part, on each district's claims
40 for such costs, adjusted by the applicable
41 cost allocation methodology and net of any
42 retroactive payments for the 12 month
43 period ending June 30, 2024 that are

50 appropriated herein not claimed by such
51 district during the state fiscal year may

2 on preventive services provided pursuant
3 to section 409-a of the social services
4 law, independent living services and
5 aftercare services provided pursuant to
6 regulations of the department of family
7 assistance, claimed by such district
8 during the next state fiscal year up to
9 the amount remaining from the district's
10 foster care block grant allocation,
11 provided however, that any claims for such
12 services during the next state fiscal year
13 in excess of such amount shall be subject
14 to 62 percent state reimbursement exclu-
15 sive of any federal funds made available
16 for such purposes, in accordance with
17 directives of the department of family
18 assistance and subject to the approval of
19 the director of the budget. Any claims
20 submitted by a social services district
21 for reimbursement for a particular state
22 fiscal year for which the social services
23 district does not receive state or federal
24 reimbursement during that state fiscal
25 year may not be claimed against that
26 district's block grant apportionment for
27 the next state fiscal year.
28 The office of children and family services,
29 with the approval of the director of the
30 budget, may reduce a district's block
31 grant allocation by the state share
32 decrease related to federal retroactive
33 reimbursement for such foster care
34 services identified herein. The office,

36 budget, may reduce a district's block
37 grant allocation by the state share of
38 disallowances or sanctions taken against
39 the district pursuant to the social
40 services law or federal law.
41 Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
42 the state shall not be responsible for
43 reimbursing a social services district and
44 a district shall not seek state reimburse-
45 ment for any portion of any state disal-
46 lowance or sanction taken against the
47 social services district, or any federal
48 disallowance attributable to final federal
49 agency decisions or to settlement made, on

1 of the social services district to comply
2 with federal or state requirements,
3 including, but not limited to, failure to
4 document eligibility for federal or state
5 funds in the case record; provided, howev-
6 er, if the office determines that any
7 federal disallowance for services provided
8 between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999
9 results solely from the late enactment of
10 the state legislation implementing the
11 federal adoption and safe families act,
12 the state shall be solely responsible for
13 the full amount of the disallowance or
14 sanction; provided, further, however, this
15 provision shall be deemed to apply both
16 prospectively and retroactively regardless
17 of whether such sanctions or disallowances
18 are for services provided or claims made
19 prior to or after April 1, 2025.
20 Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
21 any federal disallowance resulting from a
22 federal title IV-E eligibility review or
23 audit that uses extrapolated statistic
24 techniques shall be passed along by the
25 state to any and all social services
26 districts that the office of children and
27 family services has determined have not
28 complied with the title IV-E eligibility
29 requirements or have not taken the neces-
30 sary actions to ensure compliance with
31 such requirements including, but not
32 limited to, failing to: assess and fully
33 document all the criteria and have readily
34 available all the necessary documents to
35 establish and continue title IV-E eligi-
36 bility for all title IV-E eligible chil-
37 dren within the required time frames;
38 claim title IV-E funding only for cases
39 that meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
40 ity criteria; and fully implement the
41 social services payment system on or
42 before April 1, 2005 for all direct and
43 voluntary agency foster care services.
44 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
45 office of children and family services
46 shall impose on social services districts
47 any federal disallowance issued against
48 the state as a result of a federal title
49 IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
50 less of the date the children may have
51 entered foster care, the date the eligi-

DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 bility or payment errors occurred, or the
2 filing date of any federal claims for
3 reimbursement; provided, however, that the
4 state shall be responsible for the disal-
5 lowed costs and expenditures related to
6 the placement of children in a facility
7 operated by the office of children and
8 family services, which shall be determined
9 in the same manner as the disallowed costs
10 and expenditures for social services
11 districts other than the city of New York.
12 In order to reimburse the federal govern-
13 ment for the full amount of any disallow-
14 ance imposed on the state by the federal
15 administration for children and families
16 within the timeframes necessary to avoid
17 any potential interest payments on such
18 amount, the office of children and family
19 services is authorized to immediately
20 offset funds otherwise due to each
21 district for a pro rata share of the total
22 disallowed costs based on the percentage
23 of applicable federal title IV-E claims
24 made by that district for the relevant
25 time period as compared to the total
26 applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
27 The amount of the offset against each
28 district will be adjusted, if necessary,
29 upon completion of the disallowance allo-
30 cation process. The final allocation of
31 the amount of any federal disallowance
32 resulting from a title IV-E secondary
33 eligibility review shall be allocated
34 among the districts so that each district
35 shall be responsible for the amount
36 attributable to each of the district's
37 children or cases that are determined by
38 the federal review to be unallowable. Each
39 district shall also be responsible for a
40 portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
41 lowance amount based on the relative error
42 rate for the district. The city of New
43 York's error rate will be based on the
44 federal sample and federal statistics. For
45 all social services districts other than
46 the city of New York, the error rate will
47 be based on a review conducted by the
48 district of a sample of children and/or
49 cases determined by the office of children
50 and family services and a re-review of a
51 sub-sample by the office of those children
401 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 and/or cases determined by the office. The
2 office of children and family services
3 will determine what is reasonable in
4 establishing the size of the sample and
5 sub-sample for each district. The office
6 of children and family services shall
7 notify each social services district of
8 the sample of children and/or cases from
9 the federal audit period that the social
10 services district must review. Any child
11 or case from the social services district
12 that was included in the federal sample
13 will automatically be included in the
14 social services district's review sample
15 and the determination made at the federal
16 review regarding that child or case will
17 govern for the purposes of the social
18 services district's review. The social
19 services district must complete and submit
20 the results of its review to the office of
21 children and family services within 60
22 days of receipt of the sample. The error
23 rate for the district will be based on the
24 findings of the district's review and the
25 office of children and family services'
26 re-review. If a social services district
27 does not complete its review within 60
28 days of receiving the sample from the
29 office of children and family services,
30 the office of children and family services
31 shall assign an error rate to the social
32 services district based on the relative
33 percentage of the district's applicable
34 title IV-E claims for the relevant period
35 as compared to applicable statewide title
36 IV-E claims for that period and other
37 circumstances that the office of children
38 and family services may consider in order
39 to allocate 100 percent of the federal
40 disallowance. The office of children and
41 family services shall apply each social
42 services district's error rate to the
43 total amount of the district's applicable
44 title IV-E claims including associated
45 administrative expenses. The resulting
46 dollar amounts for all of the social
47 services districts will be summed to
48 derive the total amount of title IV-E
49 claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
50 establish a disallowance percentage for
51 each social services district, the amount
402 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
2 to be in error will be divided by the
3 amount of statewide title IV-E claims
4 deemed to be in error. The resulting
5 disallowance percentage for each district
6 will be applied to the entire title IV-E
7 extrapolated disallowance calculated by
8 the federal review to determine the amount
9 of the extrapolated disallowance for which
10 the district is responsible. Each district
11 will be credited for the amount already
12 disallowed for any individual children or
13 cases found to be in error during the
14 federal review. The exclusive appeal
15 rights for the review of the amount of the
16 federal disallowance assigned to each
17 social services district shall be pursuant
18 to article 78 of the civil practice law
19 and rules; provided, however, that in any
20 such action all of the social services
21 districts shall be joined as necessary
22 parties and the venue of any such action
23 shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social
24 services district that fails to complete
25 its sample review in the required time
26 frames shall have no right to appeal and
27 shall not be a necessary party to any
28 action brought by another social services
29 district.
30 The money hereby appropriated is to be
31 available for payment of state aid hereto-
32 fore accrued or hereafter to accrue to
33 municipalities. Subject to the approval of

5 adjustment increase in effect on March 31, 2024 for the entire rate
6 year that began when such cost of living adjustment increase was in

10 establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other form of

17 31, 2025 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter
18 referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand-
19 ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
20 based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted
21 by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
22 active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2023 that
23 are submitted on or before January 2, 2024 and, in part, on such
24 other factors as determined by the office of children and family
25 services and approved by the director of the budget. Any portion of
26 a social services district's allocation from funds appropriated
27 herein not claimed by such district during the state fiscal year may
28 be used by such district for expenditures on preventive services
29 provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-

31 regulations of the department of family assistance, claimed by such

34 however, that any claims for such services during the next state
35 fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
36 state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
37 for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department
38 of family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
39 the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services district for
40 reimbursement for a particular state fiscal year for which the
41 social services district does not receive state or federal
42 reimbursement during that state fiscal year may not be claimed
43 against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state

6 state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
7 district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal

10 social services district to comply with federal or state require-
11 ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
12 ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
13 er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
14 services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
15 solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
16 the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
17 ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
18 provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
19 both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
20 sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made

22 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any federal disallowance
23 resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
24 uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by the
25 state to any and all social services districts that the office of
26 children and family services has determined have not complied with
27 the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
28 sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
29 but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the
30 criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to
31 establish and continue title IV-E eligibility for all title IV-E
32 eligible children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
33 funding only for cases that meet all of the title IV-E eligibility
34 criteria; and fully implement the social services payment system on
35 or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary agency foster
36 care services.
37 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the office of children and
38 family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
39 al disallowance issued against the state as a result of a federal
40 title IV-E secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
41 children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or
42 payment errors occurred, or the filing date of any federal claims
43 for reimbursement; provided, however, that the state shall be
44 responsible for the disallowed costs and expenditures related to the
45 placement of children in a facility operated by the office of chil-
46 dren and family services, which shall be determined in the same
47 manner as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
48 districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the

1 payments on such amount, the office of children and family services
2 is authorized to immediately offset funds otherwise due to each
3 district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
4 the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by that
5 district for the relevant time period as compared to the total
6 applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The amount of the offset
7 against each district will be adjusted, if necessary, upon
8 completion of the disallowance allocation process. The final allo-
9 cation of the amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
10 title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
11 districts so that each district shall be responsible for the amount
12 attributable to each of the district's children or cases that are
13 determined by the federal review to be unallowable. Each district
14 shall also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
15 disallowance amount based on the relative error rate for the
16 district. The city of New York's error rate will be based on the
17 federal sample and federal statistics. For all social services
18 districts other than the city of New York, the error rate will be
19 based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of children
20 and/or cases determined by the office of children and family
21 services and a re-review of a sub-sample by the office of those
22 children and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
23 dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
24 lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
25 office of children and family services shall notify each social
26 services district of the sample of children and/or cases from the
27 federal audit period that the social services district must review.
28 Any child or case from the social services district that was
29 included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the
30 social services district's review sample and the determination made
31 at the federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
32 the purposes of the social services district's review. The social
33 services district must complete and submit the results of its review
34 to the office of children and family services within 60 days of
35 receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
36 on the findings of the district's review and the office of children
37 and family services' re-review. If a social services district does
38 not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample from
39 the office of children and family services, the office of children
40 and family services shall assign an error rate to the social
41 services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
42 applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to
43 applicable statewide title IV-E claims for that period and other
44 circumstances that the office of children and family services may
45 consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the federal disallow-
46 ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
47 social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
48 district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
49 istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
50 social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
51 of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a

1 disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
2 amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
3 will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
4 to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
5 district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
6 disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
7 amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
8 responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
9 disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
10 during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
11 review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
12 social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
13 civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
14 action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
15 necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
16 selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
17 its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
18 appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
19 another social services district.
20 The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state

1 The director of the budget, in consultation

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
758 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
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 adjustment
40 to the chairs of the senate finance and
41 the 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
52 adjustment.

1 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
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
16 for health care personnel in an area of
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,

38 reimbursement methods, including but not
39 limited to all fees, premium levels and

43 payments or rates of payment; modifying

45 necessary federal approvals, including,

8 in local social services district payments
9 for medical assistance administration,

12 New York state medical indemnity fund,
13 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of

18 dited department of health state funds
19 medicaid expenditures as a result of a
20 natural or other type of disaster, includ-
21 ing a governmental declaration of emergen-
22 cy.
23 The director of the budget, in consultation
24 with the commissioner of health, shall
25 assess on a quarterly basis known and
26 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
27 ry of service and by geographic region, as
28 defined by the commissioner, incurred both
29 prior to and subsequent to such assessment
30 for each such period, and if the director
31 of the budget determines that such expend-
32 itures are expected to cause medicaid
33 spending for such period to exceed the
34 aggregate limit specified herein for such
35 period, the state medicaid director, in
36 consultation with the director of the
37 budget and the commissioner of health,
38 shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
39 cation adjustment to limit such spending
40 to the aggregate limit specified herein
41 for such period.
42 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
43 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
44 tures authorized by the appropriations
45 herein in compliance with the following
46 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
47 in compliance with applicable federal law,
48 including the provisions of the Patient
49 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
50 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
51 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

1 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
2 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
3 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
4 made in a manner that complies with the
5 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
6 al centers for medicare and medicaid
7 services, provided, however, that the
8 commissioner of health is authorized to
9 submit any state plan amendment or seek
10 other federal approval, including waiver
11 authority, to implement the provisions of
12 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
13 that meets the other criteria set forth
14 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
15 manner that maximizes federal financial
16 participation, to the extent practicable,
17 including any federal financial partic-
18 ipation that is available or is reasonably
19 expected to become available, in the
20 discretion of the commissioner, under the
21 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
22 be made uniformly among categories of
23 services and geographic regions of the
24 state, to the extent practicable, and
25 shall be made uniformly within a category
26 of service, to the extent practicable,
27 except where the commissioner determines
28 that there are sufficient grounds for
29 non-uniformity, including but not limited
30 to: the extent to which specific catego-
31 ries of services contributed to department
32 of health medicaid state funds spending in
33 excess of the limits specified herein; the
34 need to maintain safety net services in
35 underserved communities; or the potential
36 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
37 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
38 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
39 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
40 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
41 shall be made in a manner that does not
42 unnecessarily create administrative
43 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
44 ents or providers.
45 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
46 legislature, as well as organizations
47 representing health care providers,
48 consumers, businesses, workers, health
49 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
50 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
51 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
52 all or part of such adjustment, in the
769 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
2 to have a material impact on the overall
3 medicaid program, particular categories of
4 service or particular geographic regions
5 of the state.
6 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
7 savings allocation adjustment on the
8 department of health's website and shall
9 provide written copies of such adjustment
10 to the chairs of the senate finance and
11 the assembly ways and means committees at
12 least 30 days before the date on which
13 implementation is expected to begin.
14 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
15 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
16 to the provisions of notice and prior to
17 implementation but needs to provide a new
18 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
19 this paragraph only if the commissioner
20 determines, in his or her discretion, that
21 such revisions materially alter the
22 adjustment.
23 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
24 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
25 commissioner need not seek the input
26 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
27 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
28 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
29 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
30 development and implementation of a medi-
31 caid savings allocation adjustment is
32 necessary due to a public health emergen-
33 cy.
34 For purposes of this section, a public
35 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
36 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
37 significantly increases the immediate need
38 for health care personnel in an area of
39 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
40 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
41 serious communicable disease, or the
42 potential for such widespread risk of
43 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
44 condition determined by the commissioner
45 to constitute an imminent threat to public
46 health.
47 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
48 prevent all or part of such medicaid
49 savings allocation adjustment from taking
50 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
51 ted by the federal centers for medicare
52 and medicaid services.

36 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of

8 services, provided, however, that the
9 commissioner of health is authorized to
10 submit any state plan amendment or seek
11 other federal approval, including waiver

14 that meets the other criteria set forth

16 manner that maximizes federal financial
17 participation, to the extent practicable,
18 including any federal financial partic-
19 ipation that is available or is reasonably
20 expected to become available, in the
21 discretion of the commissioner, under the
22 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
23 be made uniformly among categories of
24 services and geographic regions of the
25 state, to the extent practicable, and
26 shall be made uniformly within a category
27 of service, to the extent practicable,
28 except where the commissioner determines
29 that there are sufficient grounds for
30 non-uniformity, including but not limited
31 to: the extent to which specific catego-
32 ries of services contributed to department
33 of health medicaid state funds spending in
34 excess of the limits specified herein; the
35 need to maintain safety net services in
36 underserved communities; or the potential
37 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
38 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
39 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
40 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
41 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
42 shall be made in a manner that does not
43 unnecessarily create administrative
44 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
45 ents or providers.
46 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
47 legislature, as well as organizations
48 representing health care providers,
49 consumers, businesses, workers, health
50 insurers, and others with relevant exper-

795 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 all or part of such adjustment, in the
2 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
3 to have a material impact on the overall
4 medicaid program, particular categories of
5 service or particular geographic regions
6 of the state.
7 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
8 savings allocation adjustment on the
9 department of health's website and shall
10 provide written copies of such plan to the
11 chairs of the senate finance and the
12 assembly ways and means committees at
13 least 30 days before the date on which
14 implementation is expected to begin.
15 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
16 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
17 to the provisions of notice and prior to
18 implementation but needs to provide a new
19 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
20 this paragraph only if the commissioner
21 determines, in his or her discretion, that
22 such revisions materially alter the plan.
23 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
24 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
25 commissioner need not seek the input
26 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
27 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
28 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
29 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
30 development and implementation of a medi-
31 caid savings allocation adjustment is
32 necessary due to a public health emergen-
33 cy.

35 health emergency is defined as: (i) a

37 significantly increases the immediate need
38 for health care personnel in an area of

40 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
41 serious communicable disease, or the
42 potential for such widespread risk of
43 exposure; or (iii) any other event or

46 of section 2807-k of the public health law
47 shall be distributed in accordance with

1 inpatient and outpatient units of service
2 from the cost reporting year two years
3 prior to the distribution year, multiplied
4 by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
5 January first of the distribution year, as
6 summed and adjusted by a statewide cost
7 adjustment factor and reduced by the sum
8 of all payment amounts collected from such
9 uninsured patients, and as further
10 adjusted by application of a nominal need
11 computation that shall take into account
12 each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
13 Annual distributions pursuant to such regu-
14 lations for the 2025-2027 calendar years
15 shall be in accord with the following:
16 $82,700,000 shall be distributed as Medi-
17 caid DSH payments to major general public
18 hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be
19 distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to
20 eligible general hospitals, other than
21 major public general hospitals, for each
22 of the calendar years 2025-2027, provided
23 that the total distributions to eligible
24 general hospitals, other than major public
25 general hospitals, shall be subject to a
26 reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and
27 further provided that eligible general
28 hospitals other than public general hospi-
29 tals who qualify as enhanced safety net
30 hospitals under section 2807-k of the
31 public health law shall not be subject to
32 such reduction.
33 Such reduction shall be determined by a
34 methodology to be established by the
35 department of health which may take into
36 account the payor mix of each non-public
37 general hospital, including the percentage
38 of inpatient days paid by the medical
39 assistance program.
40 For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible
41 general hospitals other than major public
42 general hospitals that qualify as enhanced
43 safety net hospitals under sections 2087-c
44 and section 2807-k of the public health

46 payments pursuant to section 2807-k of the
47 public health law shall receive a distrib-
48 ution of $64,600,000 annually proportional
49 to the reduction experienced by the facil-

3 The director of the budget, in consultation
4 with the commissioner of health, shall
5 assess on a quarterly basis known and
6 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
7 ry of service and by geographic region, as
8 determined by the commissioner of health,
9 incurred both prior to and subsequent to
10 such assessment for each such period, and
11 if the director of the budget determines
12 that such expenditures are expected to
13 cause medicaid spending for such period to
14 exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
15 in for such period, the state medicaid
16 director, in consultation with the direc-
17 tor of the budget and the commissioner of
18 health, shall develop a medicaid savings
19 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
20 ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
21 in for such period.
22 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
23 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
24 tures authorized by the appropriations
25 herein in compliance with the following
26 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
27 in compliance with applicable federal law,
28 including the provisions of the Patient
29 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
30 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
31 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
32 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively

36 made in a manner that complies with the
37 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
38 al centers for medicare and medicaid
39 services, provided, however, that the
40 commissioner of health is authorized to
41 submit any state plan amendment or seek
42 other federal approval, including waiver
43 authority, to implement the provisions of
44 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
45 that meets the other criteria set forth
46 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
47 manner that maximizes federal financial
48 participation, to the extent practicable,
49 including any federal financial partic-
50 ipation that is available or is reasonably
51 expected to become available, in the
52 discretion of the commissioner, under the
801 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
2 be made uniformly among categories of
3 services and geographic regions of the
4 state, to the extent practicable, and
5 shall be made uniformly within a category
6 of service, to the extent practicable,
7 except where the commissioner determines
8 that there are sufficient grounds for
9 non-uniformity, including but not limited
10 to: the extent to which specific catego-
11 ries of services contributed to department
12 of health medicaid state funds spending in
13 excess of the limits specified herein; the
14 need to maintain safety net services in
15 underserved communities; or the potential
16 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
17 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
18 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
19 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
20 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
21 shall be made in a manner that does not
22 unnecessarily create administrative
23 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
24 ents or providers.
25 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
26 legislature, as well as organizations
27 representing health care providers,
28 consumers, businesses, workers, health
29 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
30 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
31 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
32 all or part of such adjustment, in the
33 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
34 to have a material impact on the overall
35 medicaid program, particular categories of
36 service or particular geographic regions
37 of the state.
38 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
39 savings allocation adjustment on the
40 department of health's website and shall
41 provide written copies of such plan to the
42 chairs of the senate finance and the
43 assembly ways and means committees at
44 least 30 days before the date on which
45 implementation is expected to begin.
46 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
47 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
48 to the provisions of notice and prior to
49 implementation but needs to provide a new
50 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
51 this paragraph only if the commissioner
802 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

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

41 limited to all fees, premium levels and

43 provision of law that sets a specific
44 amount or methodology for any such
45 payments or rates of payment; modifying
46 medicaid program benefits; seeking all
47 necessary federal approvals, including,

6 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
7 known and projected department of health
8 medicaid expenditures as described in
9 subdivision (1) of this section, and
10 factors that could result in medicaid
11 disbursements for the relevant state

33 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
34 all or part of such adjustment, in the
35 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
36 to have a material impact on the overall
37 medicaid program, particular categories of
38 service or particular geographic regions
39 of the state.
40 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
41 savings allocation adjustment on the
42 department of health's website and shall
43 provide written copies of such plan to the
44 chairs of the senate finance and the
45 assembly ways and means committees at
46 least 30 days before the date on which
47 implementation is expected to begin.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26
1 this paragraph only if the commissioner
2 determines, in his or her discretion, that
3 such revisions materially alter the plan.
4 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
5 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
6 commissioner need not seek the input
7 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
8 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
9 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
10 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
11 development and implementation of a medi-
12 caid savings allocation adjustment is
13 necessary due to a public health emergen-
14 cy.
15 For purposes of this section, a public
16 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
17 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
18 significantly increases the immediate need
19 for health care personnel in an area of
20 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
21 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
22 serious communicable disease, or the
23 potential for such widespread risk of
24 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
25 condition determined by the commissioner
26 to constitute an imminent threat to public
27 health.
28 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
29 prevent all or part of such medicaid
30 savings allocation adjustment from taking
31 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
32 ted by the federal centers for medicare
33 and medicaid services.
34 In accordance with the medicaid savings
35 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
36 the department of health shall reduce
37 department of health state funds medicaid
38 spending by the amount of the projected
39 overspending through, actions including,
40 but not limited to modifying or suspending

24 medicaid savings allocation adjustment
25 implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of

9 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
10 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
11 health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical

14 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
15 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-

17 through [March 31, 2025] September 15 2025, shall not exceed
18 [$31,634,010,000] $33,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
19 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
20 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
21 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
22 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
23 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
24 assistance administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning
25 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
26 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
27 state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
28 tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
29 increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
30 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
31 including a governmental declaration of emergency.
32 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
33 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
34 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
35 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
36 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
37 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
38 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
39 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
40 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
41 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
42 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
43 herein for such period.
44 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
45 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
46 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
47 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
48 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
49 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
50 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
51 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
52 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
848 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
2 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
3 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
4 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
5 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
6 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
7 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
8 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
9 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
10 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
11 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
12 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
13 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
14 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
15 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
16 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
17 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
18 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
19 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
20 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
21 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
22 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
23 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
24 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
25 or providers.
26 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
27 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
28 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
29 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
30 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
31 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
32 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
33 geographic regions of the state.
34 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
35 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
36 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
37 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
38 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
39 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
40 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
41 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
42 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
43 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
44 adjustment.
45 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
46 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
47 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
48 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
49 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
50 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
51 emergency.

2 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
3 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the

5 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
6 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
7 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
8 to public health.
9 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
10 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
11 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
12 medicare and medicaid services.
13 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
14 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
15 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected

17 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
18 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
19 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
20 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
21 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
22 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
23 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,

28 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
29 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
30 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
31 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
32 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
33 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
34 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
35 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
36 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
37 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
38 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
39 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
40 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
41 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
42 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
43 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
44 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
45 timely manner.

1 For the medical assistance program, including administrative expenses,
2 for local social services districts, and for medical care rates for

4 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
5 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
6 health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
7 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
8 mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
9 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
10 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
11 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2024
12 through [March 31, 2025], September 15, 2025, shall not exceed
13 [$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
14 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
15 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
16 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
17 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
18 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
19 assistance administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning
20 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
21 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
22 state costs or savings from the essential plan program. Such projec-
23 tions may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
24 increased or expedited department of health state funds medicaid
25 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
26 including a governmental declaration of emergency.
27 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
28 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
29 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
30 as defined by the commissioner, incurred both prior to and subse-
31 quent to such assessment for each such period, and if the director
32 of the budget determines that such expenditures are expected to
33 cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the aggregate
34 limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid director,
35 in consultation with the director of the budget and the commissioner
36 of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation adjustment to
37 limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such
38 period.
39 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
40 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
41 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
42 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
43 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
44 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
45 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
46 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
47 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
48 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
49 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
50 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
51 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
52 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
856 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
2 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
3 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
4 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
5 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
6 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
7 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
8 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
9 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
10 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
11 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
12 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
13 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
14 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
15 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
16 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
17 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
18 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
19 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
20 or providers.
21 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
22 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
23 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
24 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
25 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
26 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
27 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
28 geographic regions of the state.
29 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
30 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
31 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
32 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
33 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
34 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
35 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
36 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
37 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
38 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
39 adjustment.
40 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
41 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
42 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
43 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
44 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
45 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
46 emergency.
47 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
48 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
49 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
50 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
51 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
52 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
857 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
2 to public health.
3 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
4 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
5 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
6 medicare and medicaid services.
7 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
8 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
9 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
10 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
11 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
12 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
13 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
14 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying or discontinuing
15 medicaid program benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,
16 including, but not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and
17 suspending time frames for notice, approval or certification of rate
18 requirements, notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regu-
19 lation to the contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807
20 and 3614 of the public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
21 laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
22 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
23 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
24 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
25 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
26 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
27 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
28 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
29 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
30 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
31 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
32 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
33 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
34 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
35 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
36 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
37 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
38 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
39 timely manner.
40 The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of aid
41 heretofore accrued or hereafter accrued to municipalities, and to
42 providers of medical services pursuant to section 367-b of the
43 social services law, and for payment of state aid to municipalities
44 and to providers of family care where payment systems through the
45 fiscal intermediaries are not operational.
46 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law to the contrary,
47 funds may be used by the department for outside legal assistance on
48 issues involving the federal government, the conduct of preadmission
49 screening and annual resident reviews required by the state's medi-

37 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
38 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
39 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the

48 expenditures as a result of a natural or other type of disaster,
49 including a governmental declaration of emergency.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
2 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
3 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
4 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
5 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
6 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
7 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
8 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
9 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
10 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
11 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
12 herein for such period.
13 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
14 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
15 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
16 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
17 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
18 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
19 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
20 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
21 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
22 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
23 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
24 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
25 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
26 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
27 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
28 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
29 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
30 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
31 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
32 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
33 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
34 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
35 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
36 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
37 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
38 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
39 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
40 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
41 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
42 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
43 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
44 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
45 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
46 or providers.
47 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
48 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
49 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
50 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
51 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
52 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
878 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
2 geographic regions of the state.
3 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
4 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
5 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
6 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
7 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
8 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
9 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
10 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
11 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
12 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
13 plan.
14 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
15 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
16 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
17 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
18 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
19 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
20 emergency.
21 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
22 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
23 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
24 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
25 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
26 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
27 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
28 to public health.
29 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
30 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
31 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
32 medicare and medicaid services.
33 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
34 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
35 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
36 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
37 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
38 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
39 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
40 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
41 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
42 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
43 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
44 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
45 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
46 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
47 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
48 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
49 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
50 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
51 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
52 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds

6 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
7 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
8 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
9 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
10 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
11 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
12 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
13 timely manner.
14 For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
15 ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
16 state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
17 intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
18 costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
19 medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
20 hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
21 public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
22 services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
23 title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
24 program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
25 health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
26 28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
27 such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
28 of the public health law.
29 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the moneys hereby
30 appropriated may be increased or decreased by interchange or trans-
31 fer with any appropriation of the department of health with the
32 approval of the director of the budget, who shall file such approval
33 with the department of audit and control and copies thereof with the
34 chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman of the
35 assembly ways and means committee.
36 Notwithstanding section 2807-k of the Public Health Law, or any incon-
37 sistent provision of law, and subject to the availability of federal
38 financial participation, for periods on and after January 1, 2020
39 through March 31, 2025, all funds available for distribution pursu-
40 ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
41 shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
42 The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
43 ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
44 need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
45 service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
46 ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
47 January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
48 statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
49 payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
50 further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
51 shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.

12 public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
13 Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
14 by the department of health which may take into account the payor
15 mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
16 inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
17 For calendar years 2024-2026, eligible general hospitals other than

28 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
29 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
30 health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
31 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
32 mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
33 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
34 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-

36 through [March 31, 2025] September 15, 2025, shall not exceed
37 [$31,634,010,000] $31,731,725,000 except as provided below provided,
38 however, such aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of
39 the budget to account for any changes in the New York state federal
40 medical assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the
41 federal social security act, increases in provider revenues,
42 reductions in local social services district payments for medical
43 assistance administration, minimum wage increases and beginning
44 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state medical
45 indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
46 state costs or savings from the essential plan. Such projections may
47 be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased
48 or expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures
49 as a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a
50 governmental declaration of emergency.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
2 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
3 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
4 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
5 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
6 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
7 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
8 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
9 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
10 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
11 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
12 herein for such period.
13 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
14 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
15 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
16 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
17 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
18 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
19 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
20 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
21 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
22 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
23 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
24 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
25 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
26 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
27 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
28 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
29 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
30 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
31 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
32 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
33 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
34 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
35 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
36 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
37 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
38 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
39 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
40 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
41 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
42 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
43 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
44 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
45 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
46 or providers.
47 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
48 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
49 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
50 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
51 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
52 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
886 12553-02-5
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2025-26
1 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
2 geographic regions of the state.
3 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
4 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
5 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
6 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
7 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
8 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
9 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
10 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
11 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
12 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
13 plan.
14 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
15 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
16 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
17 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
18 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
19 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
20 emergency.
21 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
22 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
23 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
24 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
25 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
26 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
27 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
28 to public health.
29 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
30 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
31 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
32 medicare and medicaid services.
33 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
34 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
35 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
36 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
37 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
38 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
39 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
40 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
41 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
42 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
43 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
44 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
45 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
46 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
47 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
48 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
49 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
50 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
51 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
52 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
