Call the top 2 leaders in NYS: Peoples' lives are at risk - Delay the transition to PPL!

Call Governor Hochul : LET HER KNOW: PPL is NOT READY! WE MUST DELAY BEFORE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOME CARE CONSUMERS LOSE THEIR HOME CARE AND HOME CARE WORKERS LOSE THEIR JOBS!

We’re at a crucial moment in the fight to save the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPA) from being transitioned to a single Fiscal Intermediary, PPL.

Home care recipients and home care workers are in danger because Governor Hochul plans to centralize management of a major Medicaid home care program—the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)—to a for-profit corporation called PPL in a very short time period. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers could lose their home care and jobs because of this plan.

Recently, a federal court ordered a temporary, three-day halt to the transition, acknowledging what consumers, workers, healthcare providers, advocates, and elected officials from both parties have been saying all along: Governor Hochul's CDPAP transition plan is dangerously flawed.

However, last Thursday's scheduled payday left hundreds of thousands of CDPAP workers without any compensation for their work, while others received wages that didn’t reflect the hours they had clocked. For many workers who depend on CDPAP for their wages, even one missed paycheck means losing the ability to pay rent, buy groceries, or cover transportation costs to continue providing care.

Today, we are asking you to take action by making two calls to Assembly Speaker Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins

Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins's office: 1-518-455-2585

Assembly Speaker Heastie's office: 1-518-455-3791

Script:

Hi my name is [YOUR NAME], I live at [ADDRESS]. I'm calling due to the urgent and dire situation facing people with disabilities, older adults, family caregivers and home care workers in the consumer directed program. Yesterday was PPL's first pay day and hundreds of thousands of home care workers were not paid due to PPL's failed systems. Lives and livelihood are in jeopardy. [OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR STORY AND ASK FOR HELP]. The court system will not solve this, the governor will not solve this, we need you to be a leader right now. We need you to pass legislation to ensure vetted FIs can re-open and start paying workers since PPL has failed to do so. Will you take the lead and intervene so that hundreds of thousands of home care workers can be paid for their essential labor?
