Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				  For counties that have not yet developed an approved county home care plan for
				  functionally impaired elderly or that have not yet received EISEP services
				  funds pursuant to such plan, area agencies are eligible to receive
				  reimbursement for 100 percent of the costs of developing such a plan, up to
				  statutory limits, upon approval by the office of a letter of intent from such
				  county to develop such plan. (At the time these regulations were promulgated,
				  such statutory limits for the first year such a plan is developed were, for
				  counties with a population of less than 20,000 elderly persons, $10,000; for
				  the City of New York, 50 cents for each elderly person residing in the city, or
				  $187,500, whichever is less; and for all other counties participating in EISEP,
				  50 cents for each elderly person residing in the county, or $37,500, whichever
				  is less; and for either of the two years immediately following an area agency's
				  initial submission of such a county home care plan in which such area agency
				  does not receive EISEP services funds, half the foregoing amount for revising
				  such home care plan; provided, however, that no area agency may receive
				  planning funds for more than three State fiscal years.) Such reimbursement
				  shall only be available until a county receives EISEP services funds or through
				  the second year immediately following the county's first submission of a
				  proposed county home care plan for functionally impaired elderly, whichever
				  occurs first; provided, however, that no area agency may receive planning funds
				  for more than three State fiscal years.
(b) Within appropriated amounts, the office
				  reimburses area agencies authorized to provide EISEP services under approved
				  county home care plans for 100 percent of their annual approved expenditures
				  for plan implementation, up to statutory limits. (At the time these regulations
				  were promulgated, such statutory limits were, for counties with a population of
				  less than 20,000 elderly persons, $10,000; for the City of New York, 50 cents
				  for each elderly person residing in the city, or $187,500, whichever is less;
				  and for all other counties participating in EISEP, 50 cents for each elderly
				  person residing in the county, or $37,500, whichever is less.) Implementation
				  funds shall not be available to a county until the State fiscal year after the
				  county's last receipt of planning funds under subdivision (a) of this
				  section.
(c) Within appropriated
				  amounts, the office reimburses area agencies authorized to provide EISEP
				  services under approved county home care plans for approved expenditures for
				  such services, up to statutory limits, subject to EISEP matching requirements.
				  (At the time these regulations were promulgated, such statutory limits were
				  $50,000, or $4 for each elderly person residing in the county [or the City of
				  New York], whichever is greater.)
(d) In New York City, annualized EISEP
				  services expenditures shall be apportioned to each borough in proportion equal
				  to at least 90 percent and no more than 110 percent of the borough's share of
				  the city's elderly population; provided, however, that no borough shall receive
				  less than three percent of such expenditures.
(e) No more than an amount equal to 33
				  percent of the total county's State EISEP services allotment and local match
				  under EISEP may be spent on ancillary support services. An amount equal to at
				  least 33 percent of the county's State EISEP services allotment and local match
				  under EISEP must be spent on in-home services, except for the first program
				  year in which a county expends EISEP service dollars under its EISEP
				  program.
(f) The office will not
				  reimburse area agencies under EISEP for expenditures incurred for nursing
				  assessments or other nursing services.
