Section 226 of Chapter 474 of the Laws of 1996 directs the Department to establish, within thirty days of enactment of the statute, a home care services state share Medical Assistance savings target for each social services district. These targets, not to exceed $40 million state share, after reducing any district specific targets of less than $20,000 to zero, are to be acheived as a result of the district's authorization of only such services, or combination of services, as meet the Medical Assistance recipient's home care services needs in the most efficient and cost effective means available. The department is directed to intercept payments to districts in amounts equal to the difference between the state share savings actually attained and eighty percent of the district-specfic state share target. The period in which the savings are to be achieved is July 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997. The complete text of the statute is Attachment A to this transmittal.
