Subject to the matching requirements of this Chapter, the office reimburses area agencies with approved area plans for approved expenditures up to their OAA supportive services and nutrition services allotments determined according to an intrastate funding formula set forth as an attachment to the State plan on aging submitted to the United States Administration on Aging. The office develops the formula after consultation with all area agencies in New York State, publishes it for review and comment, and submits it (and any proposed revisions) to the administration on aging with a summary of comments received. The formula is reviewed and updated at least as often as the State plan on aging.

(a)Of the amounts allocated to area agencies, the office permits no more than 8.5 percent of the sum of the Federal OAA supportive and nutrition services allotments to be used to reimburse area agencies for up to 75 percent of the approved costs for administering the OAA portion of area plans.
(b)The office reimburses area agencies for up to 90 percent of the approved costs for supportive and nutrition services up to their OAA allotments. None of these OAA services funds may be used for program development and coordination, except that program development for the elderly poor is part of senior opportunities and services, which is an allowable service.
(c)Area agencies' non-Federal share of approved expenditures may be met through county (or City of New York) funds appropriated for OAA services, other public and private funds (except for funds used to match other State or Federal noncompetitive funds), in-kind contributions (such as salaries and fringe benefits of personnel assigned to OAA services, including prorated salaries for personnel assigned part-time, the fair market rental value of donated space, and building maintenance) for direct program costs for which an audit trail is maintained, or participant contributions, but may not be met through proceeds of required cost-sharing under EISEP or CSE.

(a)Except as provided in subdivision (b) of this section, at least 50 percent of the expenditures by an area agency under its supportive services program, excluding amounts used for administration, must be made on the following services, with an adequate proportion spent in each category:
(1)access services, consisting of transportation, outreach and information and referral;
(2)in-home services, consisting of homemaker and home health aide, visiting and telephone reassurance, and chore maintenance, and supportive services for families of elderly victims of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological and organic brain disorders of the Alzheimer's type; and
(3)legal assistance.
(b)The office may waive this requirement only if the area agency demonstrates that the needs of elderly people in the area for one of these categories of service is being met from other sources. If the office grants a waiver, the area agency must spend an agreed percentage of its OAA supportive services allotment on the other two priority service categories. Before an area agency requests a waiver under this section, the area agency shall conduct a timely public hearing, shall notify all interested parties in the area of the public hearing and furnish the interested parties with an opportunity to testify, shall prepare a record of the public hearing, and shall furnish the record of the public hearing to the office with the request for a waiver.

(a)For counties that have not yet developed an approved county home care plan for functionally impaired elderly or that have not yet received EISEP services funds pursuant to such plan, area agencies are eligible to receive reimbursement for 100 percent of the costs of developing such a plan, up to statutory limits, upon approval by the office of a letter of intent from such county to develop such plan. (At the time these regulations were promulgated, such statutory limits for the first year such a plan is developed were, for counties with a population of less than 20,000 elderly persons, $10,000; for the City of New York, 50 cents for each elderly person residing in the city, or $187,500, whichever is less; and for all other counties participating in EISEP, 50 cents for each elderly person residing in the county, or $37,500, whichever is less; and for either of the two years immediately following an area agency's initial submission of such a county home care plan in which such area agency does not receive EISEP services funds, half the foregoing amount for revising such home care plan; provided, however, that no area agency may receive planning funds for more than three State fiscal years.) Such reimbursement shall only be available until a county receives EISEP services funds or through the second year immediately following the county's first submission of a proposed county home care plan for functionally impaired elderly, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that no area agency may receive planning funds for more than three State fiscal years.
(b)Within appropriated amounts, the office reimburses area agencies authorized to provide EISEP services under approved county home care plans for 100 percent of their annual approved expenditures for plan implementation, up to statutory limits.

Implementation funds shall not be available to a county until the State fiscal year after the county's last receipt of planning funds under subdivision (a) of this section.
(c)Within appropriated amounts, the office reimburses area agencies authorized to provide EISEP services under approved county home care plans for approved expenditures for such services, up to statutory limits, subject to EISEP matching requirements. (At the time these regulations were promulgated, such statutory limits were $50,000, or $4 for each elderly person residing in the county [or the City of New York], whichever is greater.)
(d)In New York City, annualized EISEP services expenditures shall be apportioned to each borough in proportion equal to at least 90 percent and no more than 110 percent of the borough's share of the city's elderly population; provided, however, that no borough shall receive less than three percent of such expenditures.
(e)No more than an amount equal to 33 percent of the total county's State EISEP services allotment and local match under EISEP may be spent on ancillary support services. An amount equal to at least 33 percent of the county's State EISEP services allotment and local match under EISEP must be spent on in-home services, except for the first program year in which a county expends EISEP service dollars under its EISEP program.
(f)The office will not reimburse area agencies under EISEP for expenditures incurred for nursing assessments or other nursing services.
