The final allocation of 31 the amount of any federal disallowance 32 resulting from a title IV-E secondary 33 eligibility review shall be allocated 34 among the districts so that each district 35 shall be responsible for the amount 36 attributable to each of the district's 37 children or cases that are determined by 38 the federal review to be unallowable. Each 39 district shall also be responsible for a 40 portion of the federal extrapolated disal- 41 lowance amount based on the relative error 42 rate for the district. The city of New 43 York's error rate will be based on the 44 federal sample and federal statistics. For 45 all social services districts other than 46 the city of New York, the error rate will 47 be based on a review conducted by the 48 district of a sample of children and/or 49 cases determined by the office of children 50 and family services and a re-review of a 51 sub-sample by the office of those children

401 12553-02-5 DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26 1 and/or cases determined by the office.

Any child 11 or case from the social services district 12 that was included in the federal sample 13 will automatically be included in the 14 social services district's review sample 15 and the determination made at the federal 16 review regarding that child or case will 17 govern for the purposes of the social 18 services district's review. The social 19 services district must complete and submit 20 the results of its review to the office of 21 children and family services within 60 22 days of receipt of the sample. The error 23 rate for the district will be based on the 24 findings of the district's review and the 25 office of children and family services' 26 re-review. If a social services district 27 does not complete its review within 60 28 days of receiving the sample from the 29 office of children and family services, 30 the office of children and family services 31 shall assign an error rate to the social 32 services district based on the relative 33 percentage of the district's applicable 34 title IV-E claims for the relevant period 35 as compared to applicable statewide title 36 IV-E claims for that period and other 37 circumstances that the office of children 38 and family services may consider in order 39 to allocate 100 percent of the federal 40 disallowance. The office of children and 41 family services shall apply each social 42 services district's error rate to the 43 total amount of the district's applicable 44 title IV-E claims including associated 45 administrative expenses. The resulting 46 dollar amounts for all of the social 47 services districts will be summed to 48 derive the total amount of title IV-E 49 claims deemed to be in error statewide. To 50 establish a disallowance percentage for 51 each social services district, the amount

402 12553-02-5 DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES AID TO LOCALITIES 2025-26 1 of the district's title IV-E claims deemed 2 to be in error will be divided by the 3 amount of statewide title IV-E claims 4 deemed to be in error. The resulting 5 disallowance percentage for each district 6 will be applied to the entire title IV-E 7 extrapolated disallowance calculated by 8 the federal review to determine the amount 9 of the extrapolated disallowance for which 10 the district is responsible. Each district 11 will be credited for the amount already 12 disallowed for any individual children or 13 cases found to be in error during the 14 federal review. The exclusive appeal 15 rights for the review of the amount of the 16 federal disallowance assigned to each 17 social services district shall be pursuant 18 to article 78 of the civil practice law 19 and rules; provided, however, that in any 20 such action all of the social services 21 districts shall be joined as necessary 22 parties and the venue of any such action 23 shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social 24 services district that fails to complete 25 its sample review in the required time 26 frames shall have no right to appeal and 27 shall not be a necessary party to any 28 action brought by another social services 29 district. 30 The money hereby appropriated is to be 31 available for payment of state aid hereto- 32 fore accrued or hereafter to accrue to 33 municipalities.

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the 8 commissioner shall apply a 2.84 percent cost of living adjustment 9 for the rate year that begins on July 1, 2024 for the purposes of 10 establishing rates of payments, contracts, or any other form of 11 reimbursement, provided that this shall not prevent the commissioner 12 from applying additional trend or staff retention factors for this 13 program. 14 Within the amounts appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each 15 social services district for services identified herein that are 16 otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2024 through March 17 31, 2025 shall be limited to a district allocation, hereinafter 18 referred to as the district's block grant allocation. Notwithstand- 19 ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be 20 based, in part, on each district's claims for such costs, adjusted 21 by the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro- 22 active payments for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2023 that 23 are submitted on or before January 2, 2024 and, in part, on such 24 other factors as determined by the office of children and family 25 services and approved by the director of the budget.

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

The resulting disallowance percentage for each 5 district will be applied to the entire title IV-E extrapolated 6 disallowance calculated by the federal review to determine the 7 amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which the district is 8 responsible. Each district will be credited for the amount already 9 disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error 10 during the federal review. The exclusive appeal rights for the 11 review of the amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each 12 social services district shall be pursuant to article 78 of the 13 civil practice law and rules; provided, however, that in any such 14 action all of the social services districts shall be joined as 15 necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens- 16 selaer county. Any social services district that fails to complete 17 its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to 18 appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action brought by 19 another social services district. 20 The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state 21 aid heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue to municipalities. 22 Subject to the approval of the director of the budget, such funds 23 shall be available to the office net of disallowances, refunds, 24 reimbursements, and credits. 25 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the amount herein 26 appropriated may be transferred to any other appropriation within 27 the office of children and family services and/or the office of 28 temporary and disability assistance and/or suballocated to the 29 office of temporary and disability assistance for the purpose of 30 paying local social services districts' costs of the above program 31 and may be increased or decreased by interchange with any other 32 appropriation or with any other item or items within the amounts 33 appropriated within the office of children and family services 34 general fund - local assistance account with the approval of the 35 director of the budget who shall file such approval with the depart- 36 ment of audit and control and copies thereof with the chairman of 37 the senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways 38 and means committee. 39 Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, in lieu of payments 40 authorized by the social services law, or payments of federal funds 41 otherwise due to the local social services districts for programs 42 provided under the federal social security act or the federal food 43 stamp act, funds herein appropriated, in amounts certified by the 44 state comptroller or the state commissioner of health as due from 45 local social services districts each month as their share of 46 payments made pursuant to section 367-b of the social services law 47 may be set aside by the state comptroller in an interest bearing 48 account with such interest accruing to the credit of the locality in 49 order to ensure the orderly and prompt payment of providers under 50 section 367-b of the social services law pursuant to an estimate 51 provided by the commissioner of health of each local social services
