The New York State (NYS) Legislature passed the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget on Friday, April 3, 2020. The budget creates significant changes to the Medicaid program that will greatly impact the lives of many NYS residents. Particularly, seniors and disabled individuals who are receiving health care services in the community are likely going to face more challenges in receiving such services. Here are the most notable changes that are likely to impact the lives of older and disabled adults as well as the provisions that were threatened to be cut but were ultimately preserved thanks to the efforts of members of the Legislature.
