PUBLIC NOTICE
Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and Department of Health
Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Department of Health hereby give notice of the following:
The State proposes to update the reimbursement methodology for Individual Residential Alternatives (IRA) and Community Residences (CR) certified by OPWDD.
The Individual Residential Alternatives/Community Residence rate will be changed to reflect a new rent offset amount. The offset is based on the amounts established for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Congregate Care Level 2, which are set annually by the Federal Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration has increased its SSI level for 2013. Therefore, the amounts of the rent allowance offset contained in the final regulation for 2013 will increase from the 2012 level.
The proposed changes will become effective January 1, 2013. The new methodology will apply to services delivered on or after that date.
The State estimates that there will be a reduction in annual aggregate expenditures of 0.39 cents per individual, multiplied by 365 days.

The Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby sets the interest rates for the months of January, February, March, 2013 pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) of the Tax Law, as follows:
For purposes of section 697(j) the overpayment rate of interest is set at 2 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7-1/2 percent per annum. For purposes of section 1096(e), the overpayment rate of interest is set at 2 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7.5 percent per annum. (The underpayment rates set pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) may not be less than 7-1/2 percent per annum.) Pursuant to section 1145(a)(1) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for State and local sales and use taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is 14-1/2 percent per annum. The underpayment rate for the special assessments on hazardous waste imposed by section 27-0923 of the Environmental Conservation Law is 15 percent.
For the interest rates applicable to overpayments (refunds) and underpayments (late payments and assessments) of the following taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance for the period January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013, see the table below:
1/1/13 - 3/31/13 Interest Rates Per Annum Compounded Daily
* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 7.5% for this quarter.
** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 2%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is also 7.5%.
