TELL THE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR TO INVEST IN NEW YORKERS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.

#InvestInMe    #InvestInUs

❤️ THE HEART OF THE MATTER

The cost of living has skyrocketed, but the state funding used to support people with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD), staff and agencies has not.

  • Prices are Up: The cost of basics like gas and groceries has risen by 23.7% and minimum wage has increased by 26.5% over the last five years.
  • Funding is Lagging Behind: The funding to pay for the Supports and Services for people with IDD has only increased by 15.8% in that same time.

Therefore, we are asking the Legislature and the Governor to include the following simple investments in the final New York State Budget to stabilize vital IDD supports and services:

  • Increase Medicaid reimbursement rates to match inflation - 2.7% Targeted Inflationary adjustment & include CCOs
  • Restore funding for the OPWDD Healthcare Enhancement Program
  • Include Affordable housing initiatives - S.8676 (Fahy), S.8672 (Fahy) & S.8675 (Fahy)
  • Increase New York State Child and Dependent Care Credit - Accept Revenue Bill Part A
