Proposed bill aims to resolve CDPAP controversies and address critical concerns in New York

A new bill was introduced in the New York State Senate last week in an attempt to address recent changes made to the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), which effective April 1, 2025, will allow only a single statewide fiscal intermediary (FI) to administer the program. The bill will not be heard until January 2025 when the legislature reconvenes, which is notably after the critical deadline of Oct. 1, 2024, for selecting the single statewide FI.
