State Senator Gustavo Rivera on CDPAP’s Preliminary Injunction Agreement

 

"It’s welcome news that the Executive and consumers have reached an agreement that will extend the CDPAP transition deadline to May 15 for consumers and June 6 for workers. However, for many this relief is too little too late. 

“Many workers have already left the program, leaving enrollees without someone to provide their care, and we are continuing to see systemic issues for those trying to remain in the program. The Executive could have avoided the chaos generated for many New Yorkers with an extension to the transition deadline. 

“I will continue to monitor this process closely to push PPL and the Department of Health to make sure that all workers get paid and consumers get the care they need.”
