AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to removing certain restrictions on access to home care services; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto
AI Summary
This bill amends the Social Services Law to remove certain restrictions on access to home care services under Medicaid. Specifically, it repeals a provision that required individuals to need assistance with at least two activities of daily living, or at least supervision with more than one activity of daily living for those with a dementia or Alzheimer's diagnosis, in order to be eligible for the personal care services program. The bill aims to expand access to home care services by eliminating these prior eligibility requirements.
