Relates to the caseloads of preventative services caseworkers
This bill establishes a maximum caseload of twelve families per full-time preventative case planning services caseworker per month for local social services districts in New York. It directly affects districts providing preventative services to eligible children and families, requiring them to maintain caseloads at or below this limit while continuing to fund such services at prior-year levels. The law modifies state reimbursement rules, ensuring districts receive 100% state funding for preventative services if they meet the new caseload standard and maintain spending. These changes aim to standardize caseload management for preventative child welfare services under the Office of Children and Family Services.
