LBD12653-10-6
2 12653-10-6
1 prior to, the state fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026 except as
2 otherwise noted.
3 c) The several amounts named herein, or so much thereof as shall be
4 sufficient to accomplish the purpose designated, being the undisbursed
5 and/or unexpended balances of the prior year's appropriations, are here-
6 by reappropriated from the same funds and made available for the same
7 purposes as the prior year's appropriations, unless herein amended, for
8 the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026. Certain reappropriations in
9 this chapter are shown using abbreviated text, with three leader dots
10 (an ellipsis) followed by three spaces (... ) used to indicate where
11 existing law that is being continued is not shown. However, unless a
12 change is clearly indicated by the use of brackets [] for deletions and
13 underscores for additions, the purposes, amounts, funding source and all
14 other aspects pertinent to each item of appropriation shall be as last
15 appropriated.
16 For the purpose of complying with the state finance law, the year,
17 chapter and section of the last act reappropriating a former original
18 appropriation or any part thereof is, unless otherwise indicated, chap-
19 ter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2025.
20 d) No moneys appropriated by this chapter shall be available for
21 payment until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director
22 of the budget, who shall file such certificate with the department of
23 audit and control, the chairperson of the senate finance committee and
24 the chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee.
25 e) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or any other law to
26 the contrary, if, on a cash basis of accounting, a general fund imbal-
27 ance has or is expected to occur in fiscal year 2026-27, the budget
28 director is hereby authorized to withhold all or some of the amounts
29 appropriated herein, including amounts that are to be paid on specific
30 dates prescribed in law or regulation. Prior to withholding any amounts,
31 the director shall consider whether other means are available for accom-
32 plishing the purposes of this provision. Provided further, the director
33 shall consider the impact of any such amounts to be withheld. To the
34 extent the state is obligated to make payment to any individual or enti-
35 ty pursuant to any appropriation contained herein, such obligation shall
36 be reduced commensurate with such payments withheld by the director of
37 the budget.
38 The following types of appropriations shall be exempt from such with-
39 holds pursuant to this provision: (a) public assistance payments for
40 families and individuals and payments for eligible aged, blind and disa-
41 bled persons related to supplemental social security; (b) any reductions
42 that would violate federal law; (c) payments of debt service and related
43 expenses for which the state is constitutionally obligated to pay debt
44 service or is contractually obligated to pay debt service, subject to an
45 appropriation, including where the state has a contingent contractual
46 obligation; and (d) payments the state is obligated to make pursuant to
47 court orders or judgments.
48 For purposes of this provision, a general fund imbalance shall occur
49 if any state fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update
50 required by subdivision 4 of section 23 of the state finance law
51 reflects, or if at any point during the final quarter of state fiscal
52 year 2026-27 the budget director projects, that estimated general fund
53 receipts and/or estimated general fund disbursements have or will vary
54 from the estimates included in the state fiscal year 2026-27 enacted
55 budget financial plan required by sections 22 and 23 of the state
56 finance law results in a cumulative budget imbalance of $2,000,000,000
3 12653-10-6
1 or more. Provided however, that such $2,000,000,000 must be calculated
2 without considering any payments withheld in accordance with this
3 provision or any depletion of the state fiscal year 2026-27 transaction
4 risk reserve accounting mechanism.
5 "Estimated general fund receipts" shall mean general fund tax
6 receipts, after payment of debt service and miscellaneous receipts esti-
7 mated by the budget director to be received during state fiscal year
8 2026-27.
9 "Estimated general funds disbursements" shall mean general funds
10 disbursements, including transfers, estimated by the budget director to
11 be made during state fiscal year 2026-27.
12 No later than ten business days following the issuance of any state
13 fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update that includes a
14 determination, and/or the date in the final quarter of the state fiscal
15 year 2026-27 upon which the budget director determines, that a general
16 fund imbalance exists, the budget director shall provide notification of
17 payments that will be withheld pursuant to this provision to the presi-
18 dent pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the assembly.
19 Provided, however, the aggregate amount of payments withheld pursuant to
20 this provision shall at no point be in an amount greater than the deter-
21 mined cumulative general fund imbalance. Provided further however,
22 before any payments may be withheld pursuant to this provision, the
23 budget director shall first deplete the $2,000,000,000 transaction risk
24 reserve accounting mechanism to resolve the determined general fund
25 imbalance, as practicable. Such notification will also identify any
26 other means the budget director intends to use to resolve any portion of
27 the general fund imbalance, including but not limited to the aforemen-
28 tioned depletion of the transaction risk reserve and/or any other
29 resources.
30 Following such budget director notification, the legislature shall
31 have ten business days to prepare and adopt by concurrent resolution its
32 own withhold plan which conforms with the requirements of this
33 provision, and which achieves the same aggregate of payment withholds as
34 the budget director's withhold plan. If after ten business days follow-
35 ing the budget director's notification the legislature fails to prepare
36 and adopt its own withhold plan, or if the budget director determines
37 that the withhold plan prepared and adopted by the legislature does not
38 conform with the requirements of this provision, the withholds identi-
39 fied in the budget director's withhold plan will immediately take
40 effect.
41 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or any other
42 provision of law to the contrary, any payments withheld pursuant to this
43 section may be paid in full or in part if a subsequent general fund
44 surplus materializes in state fiscal year 2026-27.
45 f) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, for purposes
46 of any appropriation made by this chapter which authorizes spending in
47 an amount net of refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments,
48 and/or disallowances, "refunds" shall mean funds received to the state
49 resulting from the overpayment of monies, "rebates" shall mean funds
50 received to the state resulting from a return of a full or partial
51 amount previously paid, as for goods or services, serving as a
52 reduction, discount or rebate to the original payment amount,
53 "reimbursements" shall mean funds received to the state as repayment in
54 an equivalent amount for goods or services, including but not limited to
55 personal service costs, incurred by the state in the first instance
56 being provided to a third party for their benefit and partially or in
4 12653-10-6
1 full financed by such third party, "credit" shall mean monies made
2 available to the state that reduce the amount owed to a third party,
3 including but not limited to billing errors, rebates, and prior overpay-
4 ments, "repayment" shall mean the return of monies as pay back for
5 expenses incurred, and "disallowance" shall mean monies made available
6 to the state that were not allowed or accepted officially by the
7 intended recipient, based on a determination the payment is not accepta-
8 ble and/or valid. When the office of the state comptroller receives any
9 such refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments, and/or
10 disallowances, he or she shall credit the refunded, rebated, reimbursed,
11 credited, repaid, and disallowed amount back to the original appropri-
12 ation and reduce expenditures in the year which such credit is received
13 regardless of the timing of the initial expenditure.
14 g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to
15 the approval of the director of the budget, the federal funds appropri-
16 ated herein shall be available for the purposes of the stated program,
17 regardless of the federal agency administering such program, and may be
18 expended for all eligible costs consistent with applicable federal laws
19 and regulations, including pursuant to a memorandum of understanding or
20 interagency agreement with other state departments or agencies for the
21 administration or operation of such program.
22 h) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, upon enact-
23 ment of this chapter of the laws of 2026 containing the aid to locali-
24 ties budget bill for the state fiscal year 2026-27, all appropriations
25 and reappropriations contained in chapter 53 of the laws of 2025, which
26 would otherwise lapse by operation of law on March 31, 2027 are hereby
27 repealed.
28 i) The appropriations contained in this chapter shall be available for
29 the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026 except as otherwise noted.

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

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

1 cost of living adjustments in the manner specified by the office.
2 Each authorized agency operating a congregate care or foster board-
3 ing home program in New York state for which the office sets a maxi-
4 mum state aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the social services
5 law or section 4003 or 4405 of the education law shall submit, at
6 the time and in a manner to be determined by the office, a written
7 certification, attesting that the funds received for the continua-
8 tion of the cost of living adjustment to the maximum state aid rate
9 that became effective April 1, 2008 for that program will be or were
10 used solely in accordance with the requirements of the cost of
11 living adjustment established by the office.
12 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law including, but not
13 limited to, any chapter of the laws of 2025 which enacts a targeted
14 inflationary increase for the state fiscal year beginning on April
15 1, 2025, the commissioner shall continue to apply any cost of living
16 adjustment increase in effect on March 31, 2025 for the entire rate
17 year that began when such cost of living adjustment increase was in
18 effect. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the
19 commissioner shall apply a 2.6 percent targeted inflationary
20 increase for the rate year that begins on July 1, 2025 for the
21 purposes of establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other
22 form of reimbursement, provided that this shall not prevent the
23 commissioner from applying additional trend or staff retention
24 factors for this program.
25 Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each
26 social services district for services identified herein that are
27 otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2025 through March
28 31, 2026 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter
29 referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand-
30 ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
31 based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted
32 by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
33 active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2024 that
34 are submitted on or before January 2, 2025 and, in part, on such
35 other factors as determined by the office of children and family
36 services and approved by the director of the budget. Any portion of
37 a social services district's allocation from funds appropriated
38 herein not claimed by such district during the state fiscal year may
39 be used by such district for expenditures on preventive services
40 provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-
41 pendent living services and aftercare services provided pursuant to
42 regulations of the department of family assistance, claimed by such
43 district during the next state fiscal year up to the amount remain-
44 ing from the district's foster care block grant allocation, provided
45 however, that any claims for such services during the next state
46 fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62 percent
47 state reimbursement exclusive of any federal funds made available
48 for such purposes, in accordance with directives of the department
49 of family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
50 the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services district for
51 reimbursement for a particular state fiscal year for which the

1 social services district does not receive state or federal
2 reimbursement during that state fiscal year may not be claimed
3 against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state
4 fiscal year.
5 The office of children and family services, with the approval of the
6 director of the budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo-
7 cation by the state share decrease related to federal retroactive
8 reimbursement for such foster care services identified herein. The
9 office, with the approval of the director of the budget, may reduce
10 a district's block grant allocation by the state share of disallow-
11 ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
12 services law or federal law.
13 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state shall not be
14 responsible for reimbursing a social services district and a
15 district shall not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
16 state disallowance or sanction taken against the social services
17 district, or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
18 agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after July 1, 1995,
19 when such disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
20 social services district to comply with federal or state require-
21 ments, including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
22 ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided, howev-
23 er, if the office determines that any federal disallowance for
24 services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999 results
25 solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
26 the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
27 ly responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
28 provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to apply
29 both prospectively and retroactively regardless of whether such
30 sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims made
31 prior to or after April 1, 2025.
32 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any federal disallowance
33 resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
34 uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by the
35 state to any and all social services districts that the office of
36 children and family services has determined have not complied with
37 the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
38 sary actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
39 but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully document all the
40 criteria and have readily available all the necessary documents to
41 establish and continue title IV-E eligibility for all title IV-E
42 eligible children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
43 funding only for cases that meet all of the title IV-E eligibility
44 criteria; and fully implement the social services payment system on
45 or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary agency foster
46 care services.
47 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the office of children and
48 family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
49 al disallowance issued against the state as a result of a federal
50 title IV-E secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
51 children may have entered foster care, the date the eligibility or

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

1 applicable title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to
2 applicable statewide title IV-E claims for that period and other
3 circumstances that the office of children and family services may
4 consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the federal disallow-
5 ance. The office of children and family services shall apply each
6 social services district's error rate to the total amount of the
7 district's applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
8 istrative expenses. The resulting dollar amounts for all of the
9 social services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
10 of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
11 disallowance percentage for each social services district, the
12 amount of the district's title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
13 will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims deemed
14 to be in error. The resulting disallowance percentage for each
15 district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated
16 disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the
17 amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is
18 responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already
19 disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
20 during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the
21 review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
22 social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the
23 civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such
24 action all of the social services districts shall be joined as
25 necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
26 selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete
27 its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
28 appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by
29 another social services district.
30 The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state
31 aid heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities.
32 Subject to the approval of the director of the budget, such funds
33 shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds,
34 reimbursements, and credits.
35 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the amount herein
36 appropriated may be transferred to any other appropriation within
37 the office of children and family services and/or the office of
38 temporary and disability assistance and/or suballocated to the
39 office of temporary and disability assistance for the purpose of
40 paying local social services districts' costs of the above program

32 and that providing the program funds to the municipality without a
33 local share will enable the municipality to implement services
34 designed to decrease the use of detention or residential care for
35 such youth.

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

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

8 For purposes of this section, a public
9 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
10 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
11 significantly increases the immediate need
12 for health care personnel in an area of
13 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
14 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
15 serious communicable disease, or the
16 potential for such widespread risk of
17 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
18 condition determined by the commissioner
19 to constitute an imminent threat to public
20 health.
21 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
22 prevent all or part of such medicaid
23 savings allocation adjustment from taking
24 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
25 ted by the federal centers for medicare
26 and medicaid services.
27 In accordance with the medicaid savings
28 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
29 the department of health shall reduce
30 department of health state funds medicaid
31 spending by the amount of the projected
32 overspending through, actions including,
33 but not limited to modifying or suspending
34 reimbursement methods, including but not
35 limited to all fees, premium levels and
36 rates of payment, notwithstanding any
37 provision of law that sets a specific
38 amount or methodology for any such
39 payments or rates of payment; modifying
40 medicaid program benefits; seeking all
41 necessary federal approvals, including,

1 York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
2 ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and

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

42 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
43 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
44 made in a manner that complies with the
45 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
46 al centers for medicare and medicaid
47 services, provided, however, that the
48 commissioner of health is authorized to
49 submit any state plan amendment or seek
50 other federal approval, including waiver
51 authority, to implement the provisions of
52 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
945 12653-10-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 that meets the other criteria set forth
2 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
3 manner that maximizes federal financial
4 participation, to the extent practicable,
5 including any federal financial partic-
6 ipation that is available or is reasonably
7 expected to become available, in the
8 discretion of the commissioner, under the
9 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
10 be made uniformly among categories of
11 services and geographic regions of the
12 state, to the extent practicable, and
13 shall be made uniformly within a category
14 of service, to the extent practicable,
15 except where the commissioner determines
16 that there are sufficient grounds for
17 non-uniformity, including but not limited
18 to: the extent to which specific catego-
19 ries of services contributed to department
20 of health medicaid state funds spending in
21 excess of the limits specified herein; the
22 need to maintain safety net services in
23 underserved communities; or the potential
24 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
25 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
26 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
27 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
28 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
29 shall be made in a manner that does not
30 unnecessarily create administrative
31 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
32 ents or providers.
33 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
34 legislature, as well as organizations
35 representing health care providers,
36 consumers, businesses, workers, health
37 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
38 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
39 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
40 all or part of such adjustment, in the
41 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
42 to have a material impact on the overall
43 medicaid program, particular categories of
44 service or particular geographic regions
45 of the state.
46 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
47 savings allocation adjustment on the
48 department of health's website and shall
49 provide written copies of such plan to the
50 chairs of the senate finance and the
51 assembly ways and means committees at
946 12653-10-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 least 30 days before the date on which
2 implementation is expected to begin.
3 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
4 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
5 to the provisions of notice and prior to
6 implementation but needs to provide a new
7 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
8 this paragraph only if the commissioner
9 determines, in his or her discretion, that
10 such revisions materially alter the plan.
11 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
12 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
13 commissioner need not seek the input
14 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
15 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
16 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
17 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
18 development and implementation of a medi-
19 caid savings allocation adjustment is
20 necessary due to a public health emergen-
21 cy.
22 For purposes of this section, a public
23 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
24 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
25 significantly increases the immediate need
26 for health care personnel in an area of
27 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
28 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
29 serious communicable disease, or the
30 potential for such widespread risk of
31 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
32 condition determined by the commissioner
33 to constitute an imminent threat to public
34 health.
35 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
36 prevent all or part of such medicaid
37 savings allocation adjustment from taking
38 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
39 ted by the federal centers for medicare
40 and medicaid services.
41 In accordance with the medicaid savings
42 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
43 the department of health shall reduce
44 department of health state funds medicaid
45 spending by the amount of the projected
46 overspending through, actions including,
47 but not limited to modifying or suspending
48 reimbursement methods, including but not
49 limited to all fees, premium levels and
50 rates of payment, notwithstanding any

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

40 inpatient and outpatient units of service
41 from the cost reporting year two years
42 prior to the distribution year, multiplied
43 by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
44 January first of the distribution year, as
45 summed and adjusted by a statewide cost
46 adjustment factor and reduced by the sum
47 of all payment amounts collected from such
48 uninsured patients, and as further
49 adjusted by application of a nominal need
50 computation that shall take into account

16 hospitals other than public general hospi-
17 tals who qualify as enhanced safety net
18 hospitals under section 2807-k of the

3 ry of service and by geographic region, as
4 determined by the commissioner of health,
5 incurred both prior to and subsequent to
6 such assessment for each such period, and
7 if the director of the budget determines
8 that such expenditures are expected to
9 cause medicaid spending for such period to
10 exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
11 in for such period, the state medicaid
12 director, in consultation with the direc-
13 tor of the budget and the commissioner of
14 health, shall develop a medicaid savings
15 allocation adjustment to limit such spend-
16 ing to the aggregate limit specified here-
17 in for such period.
18 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
19 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
20 tures authorized by the appropriations
21 herein in compliance with the following
22 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
23 in compliance with applicable federal law,
24 including the provisions of the Patient
25 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
26 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
27 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
28 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
29 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
30 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
31 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
32 made in a manner that complies with the
33 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
34 al centers for medicare and medicaid
35 services, provided, however, that the
36 commissioner of health is authorized to
37 submit any state plan amendment or seek
38 other federal approval, including waiver
39 authority, to implement the provisions of
40 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
41 that meets the other criteria set forth
42 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
43 manner that maximizes federal financial
44 participation, to the extent practicable,
45 including any federal financial partic-
46 ipation that is available or is reasonably
47 expected to become available, in the
48 discretion of the commissioner, under the
49 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
50 be made uniformly among categories of
51 services and geographic regions of the
52 state, to the extent practicable, and
957 12653-10-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 shall be made uniformly within a category
2 of service, to the extent practicable,
3 except where the commissioner determines
4 that there are sufficient grounds for
5 non-uniformity, including but not limited
6 to: the extent to which specific catego-
7 ries of services contributed to department
8 of health medicaid state funds spending in
9 excess of the limits specified herein; the
10 need to maintain safety net services in
11 underserved communities; or the potential
12 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
13 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
14 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
15 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
16 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
17 shall be made in a manner that does not
18 unnecessarily create administrative
19 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
20 ents or providers.
21 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
22 legislature, as well as organizations
23 representing health care providers,
24 consumers, businesses, workers, health
25 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
26 tise, in developing such medicaid savings

30 to have a material impact on the overall
31 medicaid program, particular categories of

33 of the state.

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 determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
23 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
24 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
25 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
26 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
27 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
28 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
29 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
30 herein for such period.
31 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
32 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
33 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
34 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
35 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
36 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
37 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
38 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
39 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
40 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
41 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
42 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
43 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
44 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
45 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
46 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
47 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
48 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
49 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
50 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
51 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
52 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
1041 12653-10-6
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

9 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision

15 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-

17 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
18 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
19 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
20 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
21 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
22 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
23 local social services district payments for medical assistance
24 administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning April 1, 2012
25 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
26 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
27 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
28 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
29 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
30 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
31 mental 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 defined by the commissioner, incurred both prior to and subse-
36 quent to such assessment for each such period, and if the director
37 of the budget determines that such expenditures are expected to
38 cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the aggregate
39 limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid director,
40 in consultation with the director of the budget and the commissioner
41 of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation adjustment to
42 limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such
43 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

1 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
2 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
3 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
4 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
5 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
6 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
7 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
8 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
9 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
10 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
11 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
12 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
13 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
14 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
15 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
16 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
17 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
18 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
19 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
20 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
21 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
22 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
23 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
24 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
25 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
26 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
27 or providers.
28 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
29 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
30 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
31 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
32 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
33 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
34 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
35 geographic regions of the state.
36 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
37 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
38 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
39 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
40 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
41 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
42 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
43 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
44 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
45 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
46 adjustment.
47 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
48 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
49 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
50 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the

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

8 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
9 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of

11 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of

13 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
14 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
15 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2025
16 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
17 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
18 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
19 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
20 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
21 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
22 local social services district payments for medical assistance
23 administration, minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012
24 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
25 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
26 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
27 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
28 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
29 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
30 mental declaration of emergency.
31 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
32 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
33 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
34 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
35 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
36 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
37 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
38 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
39 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
40 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
41 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
42 herein for such period.
43 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
44 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
45 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
46 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
47 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
48 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
49 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
50 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
1073 12653-10-6

AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
2 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
3 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
4 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
5 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
6 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
7 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
8 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
9 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
10 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
11 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
12 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
13 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
14 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
15 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
16 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
17 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
18 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
19 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
20 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
21 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
22 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
23 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
24 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
25 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
26 or providers.
27 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
28 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
29 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
30 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
31 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
32 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
33 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
34 geographic regions of the state.
35 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
36 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
37 written copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and
38 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
39 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
40 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
41 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
42 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
43 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
44 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
45 plan.
46 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
47 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
48 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
49 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
50 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
51 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
52 emergency.

2 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
3 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
4 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
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
16 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
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,
24 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
25 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
26 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
27 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
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.

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

18 through March 31, 2026, all funds available for distribution pursu-
19 ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
20 shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
21 The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
22 ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
23 need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
24 service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
25 ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
26 January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
27 statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
28 payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
29 further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
30 shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
31 Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2025-2027
32 calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $82,700,000
33 shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general

39 reduction of $235,400,000 annually, and further provided that eligi-
40 ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
41 fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
42 public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
43 Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
44 by the department of health which may take into account the payor
45 mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
46 inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
47 For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible general hospitals other than
48 major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
49 hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
50 health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
51 section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution

17 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
18 mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
19 and the office of addiction services and supports and further

22 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
23 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
24 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
25 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
26 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
27 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
28 local social services district payments for medical assistance
29 administration, minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012
30 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
31 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
32 savings from the essential plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
33 the director of the budget to account for increased or expedited
34 department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as a result
35 of a natural or other type of disaster, including a governmental
36 declaration of emergency.
37 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
38 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
39 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
40 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
41 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
42 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
43 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
44 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
45 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
46 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
47 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
48 herein for such period.
49 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
50 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
1077 12653-10-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

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

13 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
14 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
15 to public health.
16 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
17 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
18 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
19 medicare and medicaid services.
20 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
21 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
22 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
23 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
24 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
25 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
26 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
27 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
28 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
29 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
30 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,

33 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
34 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
35 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
36 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
37 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
38 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
39 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
40 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
41 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
42 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
43 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
44 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
45 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
46 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
47 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
48 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
49 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
50 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
