The purpose of this Administrative Directive (ADM), which was revised on June 16, 2009, is to inform local departments of social services (LDSS) and approved residential programs for victims of domestic violence regarding the provisions of the recently enacted Chapter 584 of the Laws of 2008. This law amends section 398-e of the Social Services Law (SSL) to provide that all aliens, including non-qualified or undocumented aliens, are eligible for residential services for victims of domestic violence. Residential programs for victims of domestic violence are now entitled to be reimbursed by LDSS for the provision of residential services to victims of domestic violence who are undocumented or nonqualified aliens within the limitations otherwise set forth in OCFS regulations, 18 NYCRR Part 408 and 18 NYCRR ยง452.9. Chapter 584 went into effect on September 26, 2008.
