PPL Reaches $162M Settlement Over New York CDPAP Payroll Violations
A federal judge preliminarily approved a $162 million class action settlement with approximately 200,000 home care workers alleging payroll and benefits violations following New York's transition of its Medicaid-funded Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) to a single fiscal intermediary, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL). The settlement addresses claims arising from the state's consolidation of CDPAP fiscal intermediary services. The approval comes weeks after DOJ involvement in related matters. Final approval is pending.
States consolidating Medicaid home care fiscal intermediary functions face heightened legal and operational risks around wage compliance, worker classification, and benefits administration that can result in significant financial exposure for contracted vendors and potential MCO liability.
