AN ACT making appropriations for the support of government
AID TO LOCALITIES BUDGET
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. a) The several amounts specified in this chapter for aid to
2 localities, or so much thereof as shall be sufficient to accomplish the
3 purposes designated by the appropriations, are hereby appropriated and
4 authorized to be paid as hereinafter provided, to the respective public
5 officers and for the several purposes specified.
6 b) Where applicable, appropriations made by this chapter for expend-
7 iures from federal grants for aid to localities may be allocated for
8 spending from federal grants for any grant period beginning, during, or
9 prior to, the state fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026 except as
10 otherwise noted.
11 c) The several amounts named herein, or so much thereof as shall be
12 sufficient to accomplish the purpose designated, being the undisbursed
13 and/or unexpended balances of the prior year's appropriations, are here-
14 by reappropriated from the same funds and made available for the same
15 purposes as the prior year's appropriations, unless herein amended, for
16 the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026. Certain reappropriations in
17 this chapter are shown using abbreviated text, with three leader dots
18 (an ellipsis) followed by three spaces (... ) used to indicate where
19 existing law that is being continued is not shown. However, unless a
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
LBD12653-02-6
2 12653-02-6
1 change is clearly indicated by the use of brackets [] for deletions and
2 underscores for additions, the purposes, amounts, funding source and all
3 other aspects pertinent to each item of appropriation shall be as last
4 appropriated.
5 For the purpose of complying with the state finance law, the year,
6 chapter and section of the last act reappropriating a former original
7 appropriation or any part thereof is, unless otherwise indicated, chap-
8 ter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2025.
9 d) No moneys appropriated by this chapter shall be available for
10 payment until a certificate of approval has been issued by the director
11 of the budget, who shall file such certificate with the department of
12 audit and control, the chairperson of the senate finance committee and
13 the chairperson of the assembly ways and means committee.
14 e) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or any other law to
15 the contrary, if, on a cash basis of accounting, a general fund imbal-
16 ance has or is expected to occur in fiscal year 2026-27, the budget
17 director is hereby authorized to withhold all or some of the amounts
18 appropriated herein, including amounts that are to be paid on specific
19 dates prescribed in law or regulation. Prior to withholding any amounts,
20 the director shall consider whether other means are available for accom-
21 plishing the purposes of this provision. Provided further, the director
22 shall consider the impact of any such amounts to be withheld. To the
23 extent the state is obligated to make payment to any individual or enti-
24 ty pursuant to any appropriation contained herein, such obligation shall
25 be reduced commensurate with such payments withheld by the director of
26 the budget.
27 The following types of appropriations shall be exempt from such with-
28 holds pursuant to this provision: (a) public assistance payments for
29 families and individuals and payments for eligible aged, blind and disa-
30 bled persons related to supplemental social security; (b) any reductions
31 that would violate federal law; (c) payments of debt service and related
32 expenses for which the state is constitutionally obligated to pay debt
33 service or is contractually obligated to pay debt service, subject to an
34 appropriation, including where the state has a contingent contractual
35 obligation; and (d) payments the state is obligated to make pursuant to
36 court orders or judgments.
37 For purposes of this provision, a general fund imbalance shall occur
38 if any state fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update
39 required by subdivision 4 of section 23 of the state finance law
40 reflects, or if at any point during the final quarter of state fiscal
41 year 2026-27 the budget director projects, that estimated general fund
42 receipts and/or estimated general fund disbursements have or will vary
43 from the estimates included in the state fiscal year 2026-27 enacted
44 budget financial plan required by sections 22 and 23 of the state
45 finance law results in a cumulative budget imbalance of $2,000,000,000
46 or more. Provided however, that such $2,000,000,000 must be calculated
47 without considering any payments withheld in accordance with this
48 provision or any depletion of the state fiscal year 2026-27 transaction
49 risk reserve accounting mechanism.
50 "Estimated general fund receipts" shall mean general fund tax
51 receipts, after payment of debt service and miscellaneous receipts esti-
52 mated by the budget director to be received during state fiscal year
53 2026-27.
54 "Estimated general funds disbursements" shall mean general funds
55 disbursements, including transfers, estimated by the budget director to
56 be made during state fiscal year 2026-27.
3 12653-02-6
1 No later than ten business days following the issuance of any state
2 fiscal year 2026-27 quarterly financial plan update that includes a
3 determination, and/or the date in the final quarter of the state fiscal
4 year 2026-27 upon which the budget director determines, that a general
5 fund imbalance exists, the budget director shall provide notification of
6 payments that will be withheld pursuant to this provision to the presi-
7 dent pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the assembly.
8 Provided, however, the aggregate amount of payments withheld pursuant to
9 this provision shall at no point be in an amount greater than the deter-
10 mined cumulative general fund imbalance. Provided further however,
11 before any payments may be withheld pursuant to this provision, the
12 budget director shall first deplete the $2,000,000,000 transaction risk
13 reserve accounting mechanism to resolve the determined general fund
14 imbalance, as practicable. Such notification will also identify any
15 other means the budget director intends to use to resolve any portion of
16 the general fund imbalance, including but not limited to the aforemen-
17 tioned depletion of the transaction risk reserve and/or any other
18 resources.
19 Following such budget director notification, the legislature shall
20 have ten business days to prepare and adopt by concurrent resolution its
21 own withhold plan which conforms with the requirements of this
22 provision, and which achieves the same aggregate of payment withholds as
23 the budget director's withhold plan. If after ten business days follow-
24 ing the budget director's notification the legislature fails to prepare
25 and adopt its own withhold plan, or if the budget director determines
26 that the withhold plan prepared and adopted by the legislature does not
27 conform with the requirements of this provision, the withholds identi-
28 fied in the budget director's withhold plan will immediately take
29 effect.
30 Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or any other
31 provision of law to the contrary, any payments withheld pursuant to this
32 section may be paid in full or in part if a subsequent general fund
33 surplus materializes in state fiscal year 2026-27.
34 f) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, for purposes
35 of any appropriation made by this chapter which authorizes spending in
36 an amount net of refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments,
37 and/or disallowances, "refunds" shall mean funds received to the state
38 resulting from the overpayment of monies, "rebates" shall mean funds
39 received to the state resulting from a return of a full or partial
40 amount previously paid, as for goods or services, serving as a
41 reduction, discount or rebate to the original payment amount,
42 "reimbursements" shall mean funds received to the state as repayment in
43 an equivalent amount for goods or services, including but not limited to
44 personal service costs, incurred by the state in the first instance
45 being provided to a third party for their benefit and partially or in
46 full financed by such third party, "credit" shall mean monies made
47 available to the state that reduce the amount owed to a third party,
48 including but not limited to billing errors, rebates, and prior overpay-
49 ments, "repayment" shall mean the return of monies as pay back for
50 expenses incurred, and "disallowance" shall mean monies made available
51 to the state that were not allowed or accepted officially by the
52 intended recipient, based on a determination the payment is not accepta-
53 ble and/or valid. When the office of the state comptroller receives any
54 such refunds, rebates, reimbursements, credits, repayments, and/or
55 disallowances, he or she shall credit the refunded, rebated, reimbursed,
56 credited, repaid, and disallowed amount back to the original appropri-
4 12653-02-6
1 ation and reduce expenditures in the year which such credit is received
2 regardless of the timing of the initial expenditure.
3 g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, subject to
4 the approval of the director of the budget, the federal funds appropri-
5 ated herein shall be available for the purposes of the stated program,
6 regardless of the federal agency administering such program, and may be
7 expended for all eligible costs consistent with applicable federal laws
8 and regulations, including pursuant to a memorandum of understanding or
9 interagency agreement with other state departments or agencies for the
10 administration or operation of such program.
11 h) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, upon enact-
12 ment of this chapter of the laws of 2026 containing the aid to locali-
13 ties budget bill for the state fiscal year 2026-27, all appropriations
14 and reappropriations contained in chapter 53 of the laws of 2025, which
15 would otherwise lapse by operation of law on March 31, 2027 are hereby
16 repealed.
17 i) The appropriations contained in this chapter shall be available for
18 the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026 except as otherwise noted.

23 Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

12 requirements or have not taken the neces-

1 amount, the office of children and family

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

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

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

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

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

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

48 appropriated may be transferred to any other appropriation within

14 rent level for the family homelessness and eviction prevention
15 supplement program pursuant to section 131-bb of the social services

11 made in a manner that complies with the
12 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
13 al centers for medicare and medicaid
14 services, provided, however, that the
15 commissioner of health is authorized to
16 submit any state plan amendment or seek
17 other federal approval, including waiver
18 authority, to implement the provisions of
19 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
20 that meets the other criteria set forth
21 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
22 manner that maximizes federal financial
23 participation, to the extent practicable,
24 including any federal financial partic-
25 ipation that is available or is reasonably
26 expected to become available, in the
27 discretion of the commissioner, under the
28 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
29 be made uniformly among categories of
30 services and geographic regions of the
31 state, to the extent practicable, and
32 shall be made uniformly within a category
33 of service, to the extent practicable,
34 except where the commissioner determines
35 that there are sufficient grounds for
36 non-uniformity, including but not limited
37 to: the extent to which specific catego-
38 ries of services contributed to department
39 of health medicaid state funds spending in
40 excess of the limits specified herein; the
41 need to maintain safety net services in
42 underserved communities; or the potential
43 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
44 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
45 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
46 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-

10 to have a material impact on the overall
11 medicaid program, particular categories of
12 service or particular geographic regions
13 of the state.

33 commissioner need not seek the input
34 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
35 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
36 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the

10 2026 through March 31, 2027 shall not
11 exceed $36,099,200,000 except as provided
12 below provided, however, such aggregate
13 limits may be adjusted by the director of
14 the budget to account for any changes in
15 the New York state federal medical assist-
16 ance percentage amount established pursu-
17 ant to the federal social security act,
18 increases in provider revenues, reductions
19 in local social services district payments
20 for medical assistance administration,

22 April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the
23 New York state medical indemnity fund,
24 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of
25 2011, and state costs or savings from the

31 natural or other type of disaster, includ-
32 ing a governmental declaration of emergen-
33 cy.
34 The director of the budget, in consultation
35 with the commissioner of health, shall
36 assess on a quarterly basis known and
37 projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
38 ry of service and by geographic region, as
39 defined by the commissioner, incurred both
40 prior to and subsequent to such assessment
41 for each such period, and if the director
42 of the budget determines that such expend-
43 itures are expected to cause medicaid
44 spending for such period to exceed the
45 aggregate limit specified herein for such
46 period, the state medicaid director, in
47 consultation with the director of the
48 budget and the commissioner of health,
49 shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
50 cation adjustment to limit such spending
51 to the aggregate limit specified herein
52 for such period.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment
2 shall be designed, to reduce the expendi-
3 tures authorized by the appropriations
4 herein in compliance with the following
5 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
6 in compliance with applicable federal law,
7 including the provisions of the Patient
8 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
9 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and
10 Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
11 Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively
12 "Affordable Care Act") and any subsequent
13 amendments thereto or regulations promul-
14 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be
15 made in a manner that complies with the
16 state medicaid plan approved by the feder-
17 al centers for medicare and medicaid
18 services, provided, however, that the
19 commissioner of health is authorized to
20 submit any state plan amendment or seek
21 other federal approval, including waiver
22 authority, to implement the provisions of
23 the medicaid savings allocation adjustment
24 that meets the other criteria set forth
25 herein; (3) reductions shall be made in a
26 manner that maximizes federal financial
27 participation, to the extent practicable,
28 including any federal financial partic-
29 ipation that is available or is reasonably
30 expected to become available, in the
31 discretion of the commissioner, under the
32 Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall
33 be made uniformly among categories of
34 services and geographic regions of the
35 state, to the extent practicable, and
36 shall be made uniformly within a category
37 of service, to the extent practicable,
38 except where the commissioner determines
39 that there are sufficient grounds for
40 non-uniformity, including but not limited
41 to: the extent to which specific catego-
42 ries of services contributed to department
43 of health medicaid state funds spending in
44 excess of the limits specified herein; the
45 need to maintain safety net services in
46 underserved communities; or the potential
47 benefits of pursuing innovative payment
48 models contemplated by the Affordable Care
49 Act, in which case such grounds shall be
50 set forth in the medicaid savings allo-
51 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
52 shall be made in a manner that does not
780 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 unnecessarily create administrative
2 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
3 ents or providers.
4 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
5 legislature, as well as organizations
6 representing health care providers,
7 consumers, businesses, workers, health
8 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
9 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
10 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
11 all or part of such adjustment, in the
12 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
13 to have a material impact on the overall
14 medicaid program, particular categories of
15 service or particular geographic regions
16 of the state.
17 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
18 savings allocation adjustment on the
19 department of health's website and shall
20 provide written copies of such adjustment
21 to the chairs of the senate finance and
22 the assembly ways and means committees at
23 least 30 days before the date on which
24 implementation is expected to begin.
25 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
26 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
27 to the provisions of notice and prior to
28 implementation but needs to provide a new
29 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
30 this paragraph only if the commissioner
31 determines, in his or her discretion, that
32 such revisions materially alter the
33 adjustment.
34 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
35 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
36 commissioner need not seek the input
37 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
38 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
39 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
40 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
41 development and implementation of a medi-
42 caid savings allocation adjustment is
43 necessary due to a public health emergen-
44 cy.
45 For purposes of this section, a public
46 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
47 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
48 significantly increases the immediate need
49 for health care personnel in an area of
50 the state; (ii) an event or condition that
51 creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
52 serious communicable disease, or the
781 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2026-27
1 potential for such widespread risk of
2 exposure; or (iii) any other event or
3 condition determined by the commissioner
4 to constitute an imminent threat to public
5 health.
6 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
7 prevent all or part of such medicaid
8 savings allocation adjustment from taking
9 effect retroactively to the extent permit-
10 ted by the federal centers for medicare
11 and medicaid services.
12 In accordance with the medicaid savings
13 allocation adjustment, the commissioner of
14 the department of health shall reduce
15 department of health state funds medicaid
16 spending by the amount of the projected
17 overspending through, actions including,
18 but not limited to modifying or suspending
19 reimbursement methods, including but not
20 limited to all fees, premium levels and
21 rates of payment, notwithstanding any
22 provision of law that sets a specific
23 amount or methodology for any such
24 payments or rates of payment; modifying or
25 discontinuing medicaid program benefits;
26 seeking all necessary federal approvals,
27 including, but not limited to waivers,
28 waiver amendments; and suspending time
29 frames for notice, approval or certif-
30 ication of rate requirements, notwith-
31 standing any provision of law, rule or
32 regulation to the contrary, including but
33 not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of
34 the public health law, section 18 of chap-
35 ter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR
36 505.14(h).
37 The department of health shall prepare a
38 quarterly report that sets forth: (a)
39 known and projected department of health
40 medicaid expenditures as described in
41 subdivision (1) of this section, and
42 factors that could result in medicaid
43 disbursements for the relevant state
44 fiscal year to exceed the projected
45 department of health state funds disburse-
46 ments in the enacted budget financial plan
47 pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of
48 the state finance law, including spending
49 increases or decreases due to: enrollment
50 fluctuations, rate changes, utilization
51 changes, MRT investments, and shift of
52 beneficiaries to managed care; and vari-

2 (b) the actions taken to implement any
3 medicaid savings allocation adjustment
4 implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
5 this section, including information
6 concerning the impact of such actions on
7 each category of service and each
8 geographic region of the state. Each such
9 quarterly report shall be provided to the
10 chairs of the senate finance and the
11 assembly ways and means committees and
12 shall be posted on the department of
13 health's website in a timely manner.
14 The money hereby appropriated is to be

11 manner that maximizes federal financial
12 participation, to the extent practicable,
13 including any federal financial partic-

15 expected to become available, in the

21 commissioner need not seek the input
22 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
23 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
24 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
25 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
26 development and implementation of a medi-
27 caid savings allocation adjustment is
28 necessary due to a public health emergen-
29 cy.
30 For purposes of this section, a public
31 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
32 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
33 significantly increases the immediate need
34 for health care personnel in an area of

9 herein in compliance with the following
10 guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made
11 in compliance with applicable federal law,
12 including the provisions of the Patient
13 Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
14 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and

23 services, provided, however, that the
24 commissioner of health is authorized to

32 participation, to the extent practicable,
33 including any federal financial partic-
34 ipation that is available or is reasonably
35 expected to become available, in the
36 discretion of the commissioner, under the

41 shall be made uniformly within a category
42 of service, to the extent practicable,
43 except where the commissioner determines
44 that there are sufficient grounds for
45 non-uniformity, including but not limited
46 to: the extent to which specific catego-
47 ries of services contributed to department

49 excess of the limits specified herein; the
50 need to maintain safety net services in

4 cation adjustment; and (5) reductions
5 shall be made in a manner that does not
6 unnecessarily create administrative
7 burdens to medicaid applicants and recipi-
8 ents or providers.
9 The commissioner shall seek the input of the
10 legislature, as well as organizations
11 representing health care providers,
12 consumers, businesses, workers, health
13 insurers, and others with relevant exper-
14 tise, in developing such medicaid savings
15 allocation adjustment, to the extent that
16 all or part of such adjustment, in the
17 discretion of the commissioner, is likely
18 to have a material impact on the overall
19 medicaid program, particular categories of
20 service or particular geographic regions
21 of the state.
22 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
23 savings allocation adjustment on the
24 department of health's website and shall
25 provide written copies of such plan to the
26 chairs of the senate finance and the

28 least 30 days before the date on which
29 implementation is expected to begin.
30 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
31 savings allocation adjustment subsequent
32 to the provisions of notice and prior to
33 implementation but needs to provide a new
34 notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
35 this paragraph only if the commissioner
36 determines, in his or her discretion, that
37 such revisions materially alter the plan.
38 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
39 (a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
40 commissioner need not seek the input
41 described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
42 vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
43 graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
44 discretion of the commissioner, expedited
45 development and implementation of a medi-
46 caid savings allocation adjustment is
47 necessary due to a public health emergen-
48 cy.
49 For purposes of this section, a public
50 health emergency is defined as: (i) a
51 disaster, natural or otherwise, that
52 significantly increases the immediate need

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

24 limited to all fees, premium levels and
25 rates of payment, notwithstanding any
26 provision of law that sets a specific

28 payments or rates of payment; modifying
29 medicaid program benefits; seeking all
30 necessary federal approvals, including,
31 but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
32 ments; and suspending time frames for

14 assembly ways and means committees and
15 shall be posted on the department of

14 program may be transferred to state operations appropriations within

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

26 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
27 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
28 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
29 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
30 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
31 local social services district payments for medical assistance
32 administration, minimum wage increases, and beginning April 1, 2012
33 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
34 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
35 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
36 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
37 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
38 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
39 mental declaration of emergency.
40 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
41 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
42 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
43 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
44 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
45 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
46 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
47 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
48 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
49 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
50 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
51 herein for such period.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
2 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
3 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
4 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
5 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
6 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
7 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
8 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
9 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
10 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
11 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
12 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
13 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
14 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
15 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
16 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
17 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
18 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
19 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
20 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
21 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
22 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
23 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
24 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
25 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
26 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
27 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
28 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
29 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
30 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
31 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
32 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
33 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
34 or providers.
35 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
36 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
37 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
38 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
39 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
40 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
41 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
42 geographic regions of the state.
43 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
44 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide
45 written copies of such adjustment to the chairs of the senate
46 finance and the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days
47 before the date on which implementation is expected to begin.
48 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
49 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
50 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
51 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
853 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
2 adjustment.
3 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
4 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
5 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
6 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
7 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
8 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
9 emergency.
10 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
11 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
12 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
13 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
14 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
15 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
16 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
17 to public health.
18 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
19 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
20 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
21 medicare and medicaid services.
22 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
23 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
24 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
25 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
26 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
27 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
28 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
29 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
30 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
31 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
32 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
33 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
34 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
35 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
36 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
37 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
38 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
39 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
40 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
41 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
42 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
43 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
44 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
45 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
46 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
47 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
48 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
49 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
50 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
51 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the

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

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

6 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,

24 Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
25 of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
26 health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
27 services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
28 mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
29 and the office of addiction services and supports and further
30 excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the depart-
31 ment of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2025
32 through [March 31, 2026]September 15, 2026, shall not exceed
33 $33,417,285,000 except as provided below provided, however, such
34 aggregate limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to
35 account for any changes in the New York state federal medical
36 assistance percentage amount established pursuant to the federal
37 social security act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in
38 local social services district payments for medical assistance
39 administration, minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012
40 the operational costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund,
41 pursuant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or
42 savings from the essential plan program. Such projections may be
43 adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
44 expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
45 a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
46 mental declaration of emergency.
47 The director of the budget, in consultation with the commissioner of
48 health, shall assess on a quarterly basis known and projected medi-
49 caid expenditures by category of service and by geographic region,
50 as determined by the commissioner of health, incurred both prior to
882 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and if the
2 director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
3 expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
4 aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
5 director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
6 commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
7 adjustment to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified
8 herein for such period.
9 Such medicaid savings allocation adjustment shall be designed, to
10 reduce the expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in
11 compliance with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be
12 made in compliance with applicable federal law, including the
13 provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public
14 Law No. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
15 Act of 2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
16 Act") and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promul-
17 gated thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that
18 complies with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal
19 centers for medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that
20 the commissioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan
21 amendment or seek other federal approval, including waiver authori-
22 ty, to implement the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation
23 adjustment that meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3)
24 reductions shall be made in a manner that maximizes federal finan-
25 cial participation, to the extent practicable, including any federal
26 financial participation that is available or is reasonably expected
27 to become available, in the discretion of the commissioner, under
28 the Affordable Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly
29 among categories of services and geographic regions of the state, to
30 the extent practicable, and shall be made uniformly within a catego-
31 ry of service, to the extent practicable, except where the commis-
32 sioner determines that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniform-
33 ity, including but not limited to: the extent to which specific
34 categories of services contributed to department of health medicaid
35 state funds spending in excess of the limits specified herein; the
36 need to maintain safety net services in underserved communities; or
37 the potential benefits of pursuing innovative payment models contem-
38 plated by the Affordable Care Act, in which case such grounds shall
39 be set forth in the medicaid savings allocation adjustment; and (5)
40 reductions shall be made in a manner that does not unnecessarily
41 create administrative burdens to medicaid applicants and recipients
42 or providers.
43 The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
44 organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
45 nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
46 tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation adjustment, to
47 the extent that all or part of such adjustment, in the discretion of
48 the commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
49 medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
50 geographic regions of the state.
51 (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation
52 adjustment on the department of health's website and shall provide

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

1 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
2 payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
3 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
4 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
5 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
6 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
7 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
8 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
9 timely manner.
10 For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
11 ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
12 state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
13 intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
14 costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
15 medical assistance. Payments from this appropriation to general
16 hospitals related to indigent care pursuant to article 28 of the
17 public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
18 services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
19 title XIX of the federal social security act or its successor
20 program, shall equal the amount of the funds received related to
21 health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
22 28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
23 such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
24 of the public health law. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
25 of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may be increased or decreased
26 by interchange or transfer with any appropriation of the department
27 of health with the approval of the director of the budget, who shall
28 file such approval with the department of audit and control and
29 copies thereof with the chairman of the senate finance committee and
30 the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.
31 Notwithstanding section 2807-k of the Public Health Law, or any incon-
32 sistent provision of law, and subject to the availability of federal
33 financial participation, for periods on and after January 1, 2020
34 through March 31, 2026, all funds available for distribution pursu-
35 ant to subdivision 5-d of section 2807-k of the public health law
36 shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions below.
37 The commissioner of the department of health shall establish methodol-
38 ogies for determining each facility's relative uncompensated care
39 need amount based on uninsured inpatient and outpatient units of
40 service from the cost reporting year two years prior to the distrib-
41 ution year, multiplied by the applicable medicaid rates in effect
42 January first of the distribution year, as summed and adjusted by a
43 statewide cost adjustment factor and reduced by the sum of all
44 payment amounts collected from such uninsured patients, and as
45 further adjusted by application of a nominal need computation that
46 shall take into account each facility's medicaid inpatient share.
47 Annual distributions pursuant to such regulations for the 2025-2027
48 calendar years shall be in accord with the following: $82,700,000
49 shall be distributed as Medicaid DSH payments to major general
50 public hospitals, and $969,900,000 shall be distributed as Medicaid
51 DSH payments to eligible general hospitals, other than major public
52 general hospitals, for each of the calendar years 2025-2027,

4 ble general hospitals other than public general hospitals who quali-
5 fy as enhanced safety net hospitals under section 2807-k of the
6 public health law shall not be subject to such reduction.
7 Such reduction shall be determined by a methodology to be established
8 by the department of health which may take into account the payor
9 mix of each non-public general hospital, including the percentage of
10 inpatient days paid by the medical assistance program.
11 For calendar years 2025-2027, eligible general hospitals other than
12 major public general hospitals that qualify as enhanced safety net
13 hospitals under sections 2087-c and section 2807-k of the public
14 health law which experience a reduction in payments pursuant to
15 section 2807-k of the public health law shall receive a distribution
16 of $64,600,000 annually proportional to the reduction experienced by
17 the facility and pursuant to a methodology determined to the commis-
18 sioner.
19 Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the portion of

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

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2026-27
1 the assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the
2 date on which implementation is expected to begin.
3 (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation
4 adjustment subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to
5 implementation but needs to provide a new notice pursuant to subpar-
6 agraph (i) of this paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in
7 his or her discretion, that such revisions materially alter the
8 plan.
9 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
10 subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
11 paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
12 paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
13 commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
14 savings allocation adjustment is necessary due to a public health
15 emergency.
16 For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
17 (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
18 the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
19 state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
20 exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
21 such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
22 tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
23 to public health.
24 Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
25 such medicaid savings allocation adjustment from taking effect
26 retroactively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for
27 medicare and medicaid services.
28 In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation adjustment, the
29 commissioner of the department of health shall reduce department of
30 health state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected
31 overspending through, actions including, but not limited to modify-
32 ing or suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited
33 to all fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding
34 any provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for
35 any such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program
36 benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but
37 not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time
38 frames for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements,
39 notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to the
40 contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the
41 public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and
42 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
43 The department of health shall prepare a quarterly report that sets
44 forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
45 itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
46 that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
47 fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
48 disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
49 subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
50 spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
51 rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
52 beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid

2 savings allocation adjustment implemented pursuant to subdivision
3 (4) of this section, including information concerning the impact of
4 such actions on each category of service and each geographic region
5 of the state. Each such quarterly report shall be provided to the
6 chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means commit-
7 tees and shall be posted on the department of health's website in a
8 timely manner.
9 For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
