BILL NUMBER:S5631 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the disposition of moneys received as a result of the prosecution of medicaid fraud offenses by local district attorneys PURPOSE: To distribute any recoveries of Medicaid funds allocated due to misrepresentations of proper eligibility or services if a local District Attorney's office is involved in the preparation or prosecution of actions leading to the recovery of such funds. In these cases, the State would retain 70 percent of recovery funds, and the District Attorney office shall receive the remaining 30 percent of Medicaid fraud recoveries. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends the executive law Section 80 to define Medicaid fraud for the purposes of this article. It would apportion any funds received from fraudulent Medicaid actions where a District Attorney's office participates in the gathering of information and evidence resulting in a court awarded restitution or civil forfeiture to be allocated according to a ratio of twenty-five percent to such district attorney's office, and the balance to the State.
