NY S04417

Extends New York City's public assistance work requirement conciliation process statewide by repealing location-specific provisions that limited certain procedures to cities with populations over one million

Removes requirements that social services districts verify appropriate child care, transportation, and disability accommodations were in place before issuing non-compliance notices or sanctions

Requires participants to comply with work requirements for five business days as assigned (rather than simply agreeing to comply) to avoid or end benefit reductions

Eliminates the provision that prevented findings of willful non-compliance based on a single missed appointment or infraction for participants otherwise participating in work activities

Maintains the conciliation conference process allowing participants 10 days to request re-engagement and dispute non-compliance findings before benefits are reduced, with the act taking effect one year after becoming law
