04-OCFS-LCM-13: Updated Procedures for Changes in Reimbursement of Committee on Special Education Maintenance Expenditures for Children with Disabilities, Effective with the 2003-2004 Ten-Month School Year
|
|
The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum is to provide updated claiming information, as well as to respond to particular concerns that some local social services districts brought to the attention of the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) regarding the procedures for billing school districts for the twenty (20) percent share of Committee on Special Education (CSE) maintenance payments. These instructions were previously specified in 03-OCFS-LCM-22 regarding changes in the Education and Social Services Laws brought about by passage of Part G2 of Chapter 62 of the Laws of 2003. Concerns presented by local social services districts addressed two issues. The first issue was a concern about confidentiality issues related to the provision to a school district of those backup documents previously required in the billing procedure that were likely to contain information about multiple students from multiple school districts. The second issue was a suggestion that certain of the previously required documents for billing school districts were unnecessary to the extent that the school districts were in possession of their own documents to validate authorization or other billing information about the students.
