The Children's Aid Society Endorses Critical Components of Governor Spitzer's Proposed 2008-2009 State Budget
Date:1/22/2008

NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- C. Warren Moses, Chief Executive Officer of The Children's Aid Society, one of New York City's largest providers of children's and family services, enthusiastically endorses Governor Eliot Spitzer's proposed 2008-2009 budget.

2) Expansion of eligibility of poor children for Child Health Plus. We are very enthusiastic about the expansion of Child Health Plus to 400% of the federal poverty level, so that 400,000 uninsured children in New York State will now be able to obtain health insurance coverage. We also applaud the addition of Medicaid reimbursement for social work services (therapy) for children, adolescents and those with pregnancy-related issues. In addition, we strongly support the expansion of Medicaid coverage for foster children and youth no longer in care to age 21.

3) Extension of the Human Services COLA for three years. We applaud extending this increase for another three years. We regret that this extension does not provide a C
