the Laws of 2017 limits the total billing of the local share of OCFS facility costs to $55 million for bills issued in CY 2018, and thereafter. This initiative continues to provide significant fiscal relief to the LDSS. Chargeback rates for OCFS-operated facilities and services are determined by the OCFS Bureau of Budget Management. Rates support OCFS care provided to youth placed in residential programs directly operated by OCFS as well as case management and supervision services provided to youth placed in other OCFS programs. Rates used for such billing purposes are calculated and billed after a reconciliation of the actual expenditures for each operating period. When rates are determined for each level of care, bills are issued to LDSSs for care provided to youth during quarters in a calendar year period. LDSSs are required to make payments based on rates that are charged to them in the OCFS quarterly cost-of-care bills mailed once annually. Payment is due upon receipt. Pursuant to Chapter 53 of the Laws of 2017, if an LDSS fails to provide reimbursement to OCFS for any per diem chargeback rate within 60 days of receiving a bill for services, or by the date certain set by OCFS for providing reimbursement, whichever is later, the state may exercise its set-off rights by withholding the amount due from any amounts due and owing to the LDSS from OCFS under the Executive Law or the Social Services Law. Program Implications Final rates for CY 2016, as specified in this ADM, have been approved in accordance with Section 529 of the Executive Law. These rates will be used as the basis for all billings for the cost of care for youth placed with OCFS during CY 2016. Required Action LDSSs will be billed at CY 2016 final rates in four quarterly bills sent as one bill. Payments should be sent: New York State Office of Children and Family Services Bureau of Financial Operations/Accounting Unit Capital View Office Park 52 Washington Street, Room 204 South Rensselaer, NY 12144-2834 Systems Implications
