BILL NUMBER:S1983 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to additional options for local social services districts to implement effective welfare-to-work programs; and to repeal section 341 of such law relating thereto PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this legislation is to provide local social services districts with additional flexibility to maximize the successful participation of welfare recipients in employment or training opportunities by enabling the social services district to quickly re-engage the welfare recipient in job training or work experience. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill rewrites section 341 of the Social Services Law to allow local social services districts, at their option, to immediately contact a welfare recipient who fails to comply with job training or work experience requirements, provide the recipient with a verbal notice of the failure to comply with a written confirmation letter (rather than a ten day written notice) and to immediately conduct a verbal conciliation effort in an effort to resolve any good faith issues needed to re-engage the recipient in job training or work experience with a minimum of delay. If the conciliation process is

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1983 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 21, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. YOUNG -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Social Services AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to additional options for local social services districts to implement effective welfare-to-work programs; and to repeal section 341 of such law relat- ing thereto THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that it is in the public interest to assist public assistance recipients to obtain job training or work experience as a means of enhancing their ability to obtain employment, thereby increasing their financial inde- pendence and self-sufficiency and improving their standard of living. By providing local social services districts with additional flexibility and more options for the administration of the welfare-to-work program, local social services districts will be able to intervene and seek conciliation quickly in the event that a public assistance recipient fails to attend or participate in designated training or work experi- ence, thereby maximizing the opportunity for the recipient to success- fully participate in these programs. In the event an able-bodied public assistance recipient refuses to participate in these programs without good cause, local social services districts would have the ability to conduct a fair hearing using video conferencing equipment, thus minimiz- ing the cost to taxpayers for recipients who are unwilling to partic- ipate without good cause. S 2. Section 341 of the social services law is REPEALED and a new section 341 is added to read as follows: S 341. CONCILIATION; REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE. 1. NOTICE OF NONCOMPLI- ANCE. CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL LAW AND REGULATIONS AND THIS TITLE, IF A PARTICIPANT HAS FAILED OR REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS TITLE, THE SOCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT SHALL NOTIFY THE PARTICIPANT, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
