This bill amends the Social Services Law to revise provisions related to conciliation and non-compliance with public assistance employment requirements. Key provisions include: repealing Section 341 and amending Section 341-a to outline the "re-engagement process" for participants who fail to comply with work requirements, including a conciliation process to avoid pro-rata reductions in benefits; repealing Section 342 and amending Section 342-a to specify circumstances when individuals can be declared ineligible for public assistance due to non-compliance; and amending Section 332-b to allow fair hearings on disability determinations and limit work assignments pending such hearings.
