Please note that under Governor Cuomo’s stay-at-home order, home care workers, including Personal Assistants in the CDPAP program, are considered “essential” and can therefore continue to work. The same is true for payroll workers necessary to process these workers’ pay.
Who qualifies as an ‘essential worker’ in New York state?
More details on how the evolving situation relates to home care workers and the people they serve will be shared here as they become available.
