Bill would repeal the law enacted in 2020 from the "Medicaid Redesign Team II" that will raise the minimum requirements for qualifying for Medicaid personal care, CDPAP, and MLTC enrollment. The law was put on hold during COVID but is likely to be implemented later in 2025. It will require new applicants for home care or MLTC to need physical assistance with 3 Activities of Daily Living (ADL) with the sole exception of people with dementia or Alzheimer's who can qualify if they need verbal assistance with two ADLs.

NYLAG's Memo in support of bill in FY 2025- 2026calling for the State to increase transparency about MLTC - where does the money go, what services are provided and how much, track record of plans in keeping members out of nursing homes, etc.
