 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 182

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. PERSAUD, SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed,
 and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Social Services

 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to increasing the
 federal poverty level requirement for recipients of social services
 where it concerns the one-time disregard of earned income following
 job entry for up to six consecutive months

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subparagraph (xiii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 8 of
 2 section 131-a of the social services law, as added by section 2 of part
 3 X of chapter 56 of the laws of 2023, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (xiii) once during the lifetime of a recipient of public assistance,
 5 all of the earned income of such recipient will be disregarded following
 6 job entry, provided that such exemption of income for purposes of public
 7 assistance eligibility shall be for no more than six consecutive months
 8 from the initial date of obtaining such employment and that the recipi-
 9 ent's total income shall not be more than [two] four hundred percent of
 10 the federal poverty level. In the event a recipient moves from one to
 11 another social services district, this disregard shall follow the recip-
 12 ient. The commissioner shall seek any federal waiver necessary to
 13 effectuate the one-time earned income disregard pursuant to this subdi-
 14 vision.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
