The purpose of this Local Commissioner’s Memorandum (LCM) is to advise local departments of social services (LDSSs) of the availability of $11,124,750 in funding for community optional preventive services (COPS) programs in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2011-12. As part of this release, preliminary district allocations for COPS programs have been provided as Attachment A. An additional $1,000,000 has been set aside to be used to fund COPS program(s) that meet certain requirements, and a separate LCM will be forthcoming that will specify what is needed to potentially qualify for that additional COPS funding. This LCM also reminds LDSSs of the requirement to report outcomes of COPS program services to the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the separate claiming instructions for reimbursement for such programs.
