State Senator Gustavo Rivera - Statement on Gov. Hochul’s Selection of CDPAP Fiscal Intermediary and Regional Partners

 

GOVERNMENT HEADER

"I continue to have serious concerns with the implementation of the transition to a single statewide fiscal intermediary. My primary concerns are protecting the enrollees in this program, to avoid disruptions to the essential services they receive, and ensuring that the workers providing these services are paid appropriately and on time.


With the selection of PPL as the statewide fiscal intermediary these concerns have not been addressed. PPL has a track record of failing to pay workers on-time, and in several other states where they were selected as a statewide vendor those states transitioned away from working with PPL.


Many have recognized that the time frame of this transition is likely unworkable without significant disruption to the program. I will continue to push for my common sense legislation that can address the concerns that have been raised with the current program without upending it."
