Section 201(3) of the New York State Elder Law allows the Director of the New York State Office for the Aging with the advice of the advisory committee for the aging to promulgate, adopt, amend or rescind rules and regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of article II of the Elder Law. Section 508 of the New York State Not-For-Profit Corporation Law requires that a corporation whose lawful activities involve among other things the charging of fees or prices for its services or products shall have the right to receive such income and, in so doing, may make an incidental profit. All such incidental profits shall be applied to the maintenance, expansion or operation of the lawful activities of the corporation, and in no case shall be divided or distributed in any manner whatsoever among the members, directors, or officers of the corporation. Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order No. 38 directs each State agency to promulgate regulations to address the extent and nature of administrative costs and executive compensation that providers of NYSOFA programs are reimbursed with State financial assistance or State-authorized payments for operating expenses.

(a)Limits on allowable administrative expenses. No less than 75 percent of the covered operating expenses of a covered provider paid for with State funds or State-authorized payments shall be program services expenses rather than administrative expenses. This percentage shall increase by five percent each year until it shall be no less than 85 percent in 2015 and for each year thereafter. In determining whether an expense is a program service expense or an administrative expense, a covered provider may allocate a portion of the expense to each type if such allocation is supported by the nature of the expense. Such allocation may include allocation of portions of an employee’s time and compensation to administrative or program services. Commencing on July 1, 2013, the limits on allowable administrative expenses pursuant to this Part shall be effective and applicable to each covered provider on the first day of each provider’s respective covered reporting period.

(b)Subcontractors and agents of covered providers. The restriction on allowable administrative expenses in subdivision (a) of this section and the reporting requirements in section 6656.7 of this Part shall apply to subcontractors and agents of covered providers if and to the extent that such a subcontractor or agent has received State funds or State-authorized payments from the covered provider to provide program or administrative services during the reporting period and would otherwise meet the definition of a covered provider but for the fact that it has received State funds or State-authorized payments from the covered provider rather than directly from a governmental agency. Covered providers shall incorporate into its agreement with such a subcontractor or agent the terms of these regulations by reference to require and facilitate compliance. Upon request, covered providers shall promptly report to the funding or authorizing agency the identity of such subcontractors and agents, along with any other information requested by that agency or by the office or its designee. A covered provider shall not be held responsible for a subcontractor’s or agent’s failure to comply with these regulations.

(c)Covered providers receiving state funds or state-authorized payments from county or local government or from an entity contracting on its behalf. The office or its designee, rather than the county or local unit of government, shall be responsible for obtaining the necessary reporting from and compliance by such covered providers, and shall issue guidance to affected county and local governments to set forth the procedures by which the office or its designee shall do so.

(d)Covered providers with multiple sources of State funds or State-authorized payments. If a covered provider receives State funds or State-authorized payments from multiple sources, the provider’s compliance with the restriction on allowable administrative expenses in subsection A shall be determined based upon the total amount program services expenses and administrative expenses paid for by such funding received from all of such sources. As set forth in section 6656.7 of this Part, the covered provider shall report all of such State funds and State-authorized payments, and the expenses paid for by such funding, in the form and at the time specified by the office or its designee.

(e)Other limits on administrative expenses. If the contract, grant, or other agreement is subject to more stringent limits on administrative expenses, whether through law or contract, such limits shall control and shall not be affected by the less stringent limits imposed by these regulations. However, the definition and interpretation of terms in this Part shall not be affected or limited by the definition or interpretation of terms in other regulation or agreements.

Except if a covered provider has obtained a waiver pursuant to section 6656.6 of this Part, a covered provider as defined in this regulation shall not use State funds or State-authorized payments for executive compensation given directly or indirectly to a covered executive in an amount greater than $199,000 per annum, provided, however, that the office shall review this figure annually to determine whether adjustment is necessary based on appropriate factors and subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of the Budget.

Documentation of such program services rendered shall be used by the covered provider to determine that percentage, if any, of the covered executive’s compensation that is attributable to program services and that compensation shall not be considered in the calculation of his or her executive compensation. Such documentation shall be maintained and provided to the office or its designee upon request. Clinical and program personnel in a hospital or other entity providing program services, including chairs of departments, heads of service, chief medical officers, directors of nursing, or similar types of personnel fulfilling administrative functions that are nevertheless directly attributable to and comprise program services shall not be considered covered executives for purposes of limiting the use of State funds or State-authorized payments to compensate them.

(d)Covered providers with multiple sources of State funds or State-authorized payments. If a covered provider receives State funds or State-authorized payments from multiple sources, the provider’s compliance with the limits on executive compensation in subdivision (a) of this section shall be determined based upon the total amount of such funding received and the reimbursements received from all sources of State funds or State-authorized payments. As set forth in section 6656.7 of this Part, the covered provider shall report all of such State funds and State-authorized payments in the form specified by the office or its designee.

(e)Subcontractors and agents of covered providers. The limits on executive compensation in subdivision (a) and (b) of this section and the reporting requirements in section 6656.7 of this Part shall apply to subcontractors and agents of covered providers if and to the extent that such a subcontractor or agent has received State funds or State-authorized payments from the covered provider to provide program or administrative services during the reporting period and would otherwise meet the definition of a covered provider but for the fact that it has received State funds or State-authorized payments from the covered provider rather than directly from a governmental agency. A covered provider shall incorporate into its agreement with such a subcontractor or agent the terms of these regulations by reference to require and facilitate compliance. Upon request, covered providers shall promptly report to the funding or authorizing agency the identity of such subcontractors and agents, along with any other information requested by that agency or by the office or its designee. A covered provider shall not be held responsible for a subcontractor’s or agent’s failure to comply with these regulations.

(g)Other limits on executive compensation. If the contract, grant, or other agreement is subject to more stringent limits on executive compensation, whether through law or contract, such limits shall control and shall not be affected by the less stringent limits imposed by these regulations. However, the definition and interpretation of terms in this Part shall not be affected or limited by the definition or interpretation of terms in other regulations or agreements.
