The Southern District of New York certified a class for the class action suit against New York State’s Human Resources Administration based on the reduction of 24-hour home care services for people already receiving the service. The class consists of, among others, current Medicaid recipients who are in the continuous 24-hour home care program and who have experienced threats of reduction or actual reduction of the home care service. The certified class claims the evaluation process for home care was used as “a policy and practice of arbitrarily and irrationally reducing or discontinuing Plaintiff’s…home care services.”
