New York State Budget and CDPAP
New York State Budget – CDPAP – March 2019 – Governor Cuomo’s budget proposal unleashed an unprecedented attack on seniors and the disabled, repealing the state’s popular and successful Consumer Directed Personal Assistance (CDPA) program and replacing it with a watered-down version that will eliminate over 550 fiscal intermediaries across the state for no reason, slash funds for non-PA wages for those FIs that remain by over 500%, and begin the process of shifting to one entity for the entire state that will run the program with all the warmth and heart of your local cable company.
