Home Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 28, 2002 SCHUMER: NEW JUSTICE DEPT PROBE COULD COST LONG ISLAND SCHOOLS AS MUCH AS $76 MILLION DOJ looking into whether school districts filed improper medicaid claims Schumer calls on DOJ not to target Long Island schools, urges Justice Department not to penalize local districts for problem created by Washingto n With a new investigation threatening to cost Long Island schools millions of dollars in repayments, fines and penalties, US Senator Charles E. Schumer today called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) not to target Long Island school districts. DOJ is currently investigating whether schools across New York committed technical errors while filing reimbursement claims with a Medicaid program that provides services like speech and physical therapy to special needs students. The probe could ultimately force school districts on Long Island to pay back a sizeable portion of the $76 million received in federal reimbursements, plus millions more in penalties and fines. Schumer said the school districts may have committed the errors by following state mandated guidelines, which were based on vague guidelines issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Schumer released letters to Attorney General John Ashcroft asking DOJ not to target New York schools and to HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, asking HHS to issue clearer guidelines and work amicably with states and localities to ensure that schools know how to comply with federal regulations.

Extractions: Important Notice to Families and Providers of Children with Special Health Care Needs, effective March 29, 2004. The Division for Special Health Needs plans, implements and evaluates public health programs for individuals with disabilities or special needs throughout the life span. This role goes back to Title V of the Social Security Act, which established a system for states to provide care for children with special health care needs starting in 1935. In recent years, the division has relied on a combination of state funds and grants, as well as federal funds, to support its work. While children, especially younger children, have been the main focus of division programs in the past, the needs of young adults and adults with disabilities receive increasing attention in division activities today. The Mass Initiative for Youth with Disabilities and the Office on Health and Disability are the division's programs which focus on the health needs of teens, young adults and adults with disabilities.

Extractions: Troy Swauger, Information Officer, (916) 654-2096 On Dec. 8, 2000, the Commission approved a suite of measures that protected certain deep water and nearshore marine finfish species. The action was taken to promote the sustainability of the fisheries, both sport and commercial, and to conform California regulations for state waters (up to 3 miles offshore) with federal groundfish regulations for federal waters (from 3 to 200 miles offshore) that became effective Jan. 4. Implementation of California's regulations were planned for Jan. 1. However, initially proposed regulations involving sport fishing for ocean whitefish were changed at the Commission's final adoption meeting resulting in the need for an additional 15-day public comment period. Also, special efforts taken by the Commission to solicit public participation in this special regulatory process resulted in an unprecedented volume of public input (over 1,000 comments) requiring substantially greater time than expected for the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) to review and comment on them. The final regulations are expected to be in force on or before Feb. 1, and will be posted on DFG's web site (www.dfg.ca.gov/mrd/index.html). Until then, the regulations adopted last year affecting the sport take of rockfish, lingcod, and associated species in state waters remain in effect. The specific regulations are contained in the Sport Fishing Regulations Booklet for 2000 and the Sport Fishing Regulations 2000 Supplement No. 2, which are available at DFG offices, and can be viewed on the web site.

These difficulties may be due to one or more of the following: physical disorders, psychiatric disorders, emotional problems, behavioral problems, and learning disorders (or disabilities). These children with special needs are usually entitled to receive special services or accommodations through the public schools. Federal law mandates that every child will receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. It also entitles children with special needs to receive extra services. To support their ability to learn in school, three Federal laws apply to children with special needs: Between states, there are different criteria for eligibility, services available, procedures for implementing the Federal laws, and procedural safeguards. It is important for parents to be aware of these laws and regulations in their particular area.
