The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum is to advise local departments of social services (LDSSs) of the availability of $8,843,520 appropriated in the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2008-09 budget for the purpose of promoting “…the recruitment and retention of staff or to respond to other nonpersonal costs….” for preventive services agencies, as defined in 18 NYCRR 423.2(a), from which LDSSs purchase preventive services. These state funds are for the continuation of the cost of living adjustments (COLAs) approved by the Office of Children and Family Services for the SFY 2007-08 that an LDSS chooses to continue to provide to some or all of the preventive service agencies with which it contracts for the period April 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009. This LCM applies only to the 29 LDSSs that were approved to provide preventive services COLAs for SFY 2007-08.
