On Thursday, July 2, the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS) posted the updated rate chart for the Family Supports and Community Integration and Habilitation waivers.
The Department of Labor (DOL), Wage and Hour Division, announced a proposed rule that would update overtime regulations. A key feature of the proposed rules is establishing a mechanism that automatically updates the salary and compensation levels for exempt employees based on national salary data for full-time workers. Under current law, this threshold is set at $23,660/year or $455/week.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has declared July “Disability Pride Month”. U.S. Senator Tom Harkin, author of the ADA, will be grand marshal at this year’s parade on July 12. Other activities for the month include the City University of New York (CUNY) hosting an educational lecture series and the Brooklyn Historical Society will have an exhibit on the disability rights movement. The monthlong tribute will happen annually on New York’s calendar.

-- No Wrong Door Update Since early 2013, the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has taken steps to examine its service delivery systems and the infrastructure in support of those systems. In September 2014, the Division of Aging (DA) was awarded a planning grant from the Administration for Community Living to develop a three-year implementation plan to transform state long-term services and supports access programs and functions into a No Wrong Door system for all populations and all payers. |
