S 9898 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the caseloads of preventative services caseworkers

This bill establishes a maximum caseload limit of twelve families per month for preventative case planning caseworkers to ensure manageable workloads. It grants the Office of Children and Family Services the authority to set these standards in consultation with local districts while allowing for stricter local guidelines if desired. Additionally, the bill adjusts state reimbursement rates, offering full funding for preventative services provided that local districts maintain spending levels comparable to the 2025 fiscal year. The changes to funding and caseload rules are scheduled to take effect two years after the law is enacted.
