The Department is issuing this memorandum to inform you of Chapter 600 of the Laws of 1994 which amends the Social Services Law, Education Law, and Mental Hygiene Law, in relation to transitional care.
Chapter 600 takes immediate and long-term steps to decrease social service district costs in connection with transitional care of disabled young adults who have aged-out of their foster care or residential school placements. The Chapter also helps reduce unnecessary out-of-home placements of developmentally disabled children and provides for appropriate in-State placements for young adults.
