Executive Summary. In our December 23, 2019 Legal Alert we reported that the NYS Department of Health’s (“DOH”) Request for Offers (“RFO”) required a “Joint Employment Attestation” in any offer to continue or first become a Fiscal Intermediary (“FIs”) under NYS’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (“CDPAP”). We suggested the DOH be asked six questions, each of which has been answered, to some degree, in the Q&A the DOH issued on January 31, 2020. Below are our observations and opinion on the path forward and the DOH’s key answers on Joint Employer status in a chart accessible as a PDF from this Legal Alert.
