Section 466-B. Care provided by authorized agencies


Latest version.
  • An authorized agency as
      defined  in section three hundred seventy-one of this chapter shall also
      be  authorized to provide temporary care for persons over age twenty-one
      who meet the requirements of section 7.37-a or  13.37-a  of  the  mental
      hygiene  law  or  on  whose  behalf  temporary  payments  are being made
      pursuant to section 7.38 or 13.38 of the mental hygiene law, who were in
      the care of the authorized agency at  the  time  of  their  twenty-first
      birthday,  and  who  have  remained  continuously  in  the  care  of the
      authorized agency since their twenty-first  birthday.    Notwithstanding
      any  inconsistent  provision  of  law,  in  any case where an individual
      receiving transitional funding is about to be transferred from  a  child
      care  facility  to an adult placement, a transfer plan shall be prepared
      by the sending facility and forwarded to the receiving facility and  the
      individual, and, unless the individual objects, the parents, guardian or
      other  family  members  prior  to  the transfer. The transfer plan shall
      include any information necessary to facilitate a safe transfer, such as
      specific problems, schedule for administering medications  and  behavior
      unique to the individual.
