Section 608. State aid; physically handicapped children

1. Whenever the
  commissioner of health of any county or part-county health district  or,
  in a county lacking a county or part-county health district, the medical
  director  of  the  physically  handicapped  children's  program,  or the
  department of health of the city of New York,  issues  an  authorization
  for  medical  service for a physically handicapped child, such county or
  the city of New York shall be granted state aid in an  amount  of  fifty
  per  centum  of  the  amount  expended  in accordance with the rules and
  regulations established by the commissioner, except that such state  aid
  reimbursement  may  be  withheld  if,  on  post-audit  and  review,  the
  commissioner finds that the medical service rendered and  furnished  was
  not  in  conformance  with a plan submitted by the municipality and with
  the rules and regulations established by the commissioner  or  that  the
  recipient  of the medical service was not a physically handicapped child
  as defined in section two  thousand  five  hundred  eighty-one  of  this
  chapter.
    2. Whenever a court of any county issues an order for medical services
  for  any  physically  handicapped  Indian  child,  residing on an Indian
  reservation, such county shall be granted state aid in the amount of one
  hundred percent of the amount expended in accordance with the  standards
  established  by  the commissioner. Such reimbursement shall be made from
  any funds appropriated to the department for payment of  state  aid  for
  care of physically handicapped children.
    3.  The  clerk  of the board of supervisors or other similar governing
  body of each county, or chief fiscal officer of the  city  of  New  York
  which has paid claims as provided herein shall, not oftener than once in
  each  month,  transmit  to the commissioner a certified statement in the
  form prescribed by him, stating the amount  expended  for  the  purposes
  specified  herein,  the  date  of  each expenditure, and the purpose for
  which it was made. Upon the receipt  of  such  certified  statement  the
  commissioner  shall examine the same, and if such expenditures were made
  as required  by  law  he  shall  approve  it  and  transmit  it  to  the
  comptroller for audit. The comptroller shall thereupon issue his warrant
  in  the  amount  specified  in  such  approved statement for the payment
  thereof out of moneys appropriated therefor to the county  treasurer  of
  the county or chief fiscal officer of the city of New York.
