More funding for developmental disability services

Beginning April 1, 2025, New York raises funding for specified developmental disability services from $600,000 to $680,000. Covered activities include hepatitis B services, the care-at-home waiver, epilepsy services, Special Olympics New York, and voluntary fingerprinting. The money supports these services but does not set individual payments or change eligibility.

More housing support funding for homeless veterans

Beginning April 1, 2025, New York raises homeless veterans' housing services funding from $210,000 to $238,000. The money supports housing-related services and expenses under the Veterans' Benefits Advising Program. The law does not set a direct cash payment or individual housing benefit amount.

Funding keeps state workers paid

New York raises covered state payroll funding from $668.33 million to $986.83 million for April 1–17, 2025. This covers executive and legislative employees, certain state work-program participants, and amounts owed from before April 1. The judiciary gets $85 million for scheduled payrolls and $300 million for employee benefit costs during the same period. Separate state employee benefit funding rises from $516.471 million to $537.121 million, including Social Security contributions and commuter-tax payments. These funds support existing pay and benefits, not individual raises.

More funding for unemployed workers

New York raises unemployment benefit funding from $465 million to $555 million for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. The money pays benefits authorized by New York unemployment law and covered federal programs, including disaster unemployment aid. It goes into the Unemployment Insurance Benefit Fund. The law does not change individual benefit amounts or eligibility rules.

More funding for a rehabilitation provider's program

Beginning April 1, 2025, New York raises funding for a FEDCAP Rehabilitation Services, Inc. program. Funding increases from $2.34 million to $2.652 million. The provision does not state who qualifies for the program or provide direct payments to participants.

Temporary funding keeps agencies and courts running

New York provides $32 million for state agency operating costs incurred from April 1–17, 2025. These must be ordinary business costs allowed by existing law for purposes authorized in the 2024–2025 fiscal year. Courts receive $25 million for operating costs and $30 million for aid owed to localities during April 1–17, 2025. These funds cover public operations, not direct household payments.

More funding for food assistance programs

New York raises federal food and nutrition services funding from $16.05 million to $18.19 million. This raises total Center for Community Health funding from $23.05 million to $25.19 million. The total also includes $7 million for Indian health program services. Funds can pay assistance owed from before the appropriation. The provision does not change household eligibility or benefit amounts.
