N.Y. Public Health Law § 616: Limitations on state aid

§ 616. Limitations on state aid. 1. The total amount of state aid

provided pursuant to this article shall be limited to the amount of the

annual appropriation made by the legislature. In no event, however,

shall such state aid be less than an amount to provide the full base

grant and, as otherwise provided by subdivision two of section six

hundred five of this article, no less than thirty-six per centum of the

difference between the amount of moneys expended by the municipality for

eligible public health services pursuant to an approved application for

state aid during the fiscal year and the base grant provided pursuant to

subdivision one of section six hundred five of this article.

2. No payments shall be made from moneys appropriated for the purpose

of this article to a municipality for contributions by the municipality

for indirect costs.

3. Administrative policy changes relating to state aid shall not be

implemented without reasonable and statewide advance written notice to

municipalities.

4. Moneys appropriated for the purposes of this article to a

municipality may include reimbursement of a municipality's fringe

benefits, including but not limited to employee retirement funds, health

insurance and federal old age and survivor's insurance. However, costs

submitted under an application for state aid must be consistent with a

municipality's documented fringe benefit costs and shall not exceed

fifty per centum of the municipality's eligible personnel services.
