Creates the New York Intergenerational Welfare Reform Commission composed of nine members appointed by the commissioner, governor, senate president, and assembly speaker to study and develop strategies addressing intergenerational poverty.

Defines intergenerational poverty as poverty continuing through two or more successive generations of a family, excluding situational poverty from specific incidents not passed to the next generation.

Establishes an intergenerational poverty plan implementation pilot program allowing counties or groups of contiguous counties to submit proposals addressing intergenerational poverty with specified outcomes, metrics, and baseline measurements.

Requires selected pilot program counties to provide a cash or in-kind match equal to at least 25 percent of the grant amount and report quarterly to the department on progress toward stated indicators and outcomes.

Directs the department to issue annual reports on the pilot program and authorizes it to make the program permanent or expand it to additional counties based on demonstrated success.
