C.K. v. McDonald Medicaid Children’s Services Settlement
New York State · Medicaid intensive home- and community-based behavioral health services for children · Settlement Reached
About this case
The plaintiffs allege that New York failed to provide federally guaranteed intensive home- and community-based services to Medicaid-eligible children, leaving some hospitalized or institutionalized far from home. Filed in 2022, the class action received final approval of a settlement in 2026 requiring expanded care coordination, in-home services, mobile crisis teams, and an 18-month implementation plan; an independent monitor is overseeing compliance.
