The final budget will:

• Replace the current provider system with a single fiscal intermediary;
• Require nearly all fiscal intermediaries to cease operations by April 1, 2025.
• Allow the Department of Health to require health/safety requirements for training of personal assistants in CDPA, including vaccines.

If you would like more information about these proposals, as well as information on how to get involved and keep legislators informed about how the decisions they make will affect you and your use of the program, our sister organization Consumer Directed Action of New York (CDANY) works to help consumers, PAs, FIs, and other allies bring your voice directly to your elected officials.
