BILL NUMBER:S1517 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to notification to families receiving child care assistance, and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To afford families the time necessary to plan should they experience a disruption in child care services due to a reduction in financial eligibility in relation to child care subsidies. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one would repeal subdivision 9 of section 34-a of the Social Services Law as added by Chapter 495 of the Laws of 2014 and add a new subdivision 9. This subdivision would require that a local social services district that reduces eligibility for child care assistance or increases the family share post on its website the categories of families that will be impacted, and provide a copy of such notice to the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). The district would also be required to post on its website the categories of families impacted when the process for closing child care assistance cases is implemented, and forward a copy of such notice to OCFS. OCFS would be required to post both notices on its website.
