Impact of 2020 Medicaid Cuts on Community Long Term Care
Effective was originally set for October 1, 2020 but has been postponed until July 1, 2021 due to the pandemic.
New York State’s Medicaid Long Term Care for community based elderly has been a highly effective program that has enabled many seniors to stay in their homes. However with cuts to the budget announced on March 31, 2020 funds to these programs have been severely cut back. The bottom line - many elderly who would have been eligible for this program will no longer be eligible as of . The impact on July 1, 2021 any elderly and their families will be devastating.
