BILL NUMBER:S5814 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend chapter 56 of the laws of 2013, relating to providing medical assistance to certain retirees of the New York city off-track betting corporation, in relation to lien recovery PURPOSE: To make technical amendments to the OTB Retiree Health program SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2013, Part F, is amended by adding in pertinent part, "provided, however, that none of the cost recovery provisions of section three hundred sixty-nine of the social services law, with the exception of subdivision two, paragraph (a), subparagraph (i) of such section, shall apply to the retirees of the New York city off-track betting corporation." JUSTIFICATION: This bill provides a critical amendment to Chanter 56 of the laws of 2013, which protects the former New York City Off Track Betting Corporation (NYC OTB) public employees by providing them with health insurance and supplemental benefits through the Department of Health and New York State Medicaid. This technical amendment would exclude this population from previsions of the social services law, which allow the State to seek cost recovery from a Medicaid recipient's estate.
