Governor Kathy Hochul announced last week that New York State and Public
Partnership LLC (PPL) are partnering with 11 Independent Living Centers
(ILCs) to strengthen the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program
(CDPAP) for New York’s home care users. New York’s ILCs are among more than 30
community-based partners who will work closely with PPL to ensure the CDPAP program
continues to deliver high-quality home care services for New Yorkers, including a successful
transition by April 1. CDPAP consumers across New York can now begin registering with PPL
to ensure their continued service as part of this transition process.
CDPAP consumers can begin registering now as part of this transition through one of these
options:
Option 1: Call PPL’s support center at 1-833-247-5346 or TTY: 1-833-204-9042 and a
PPL team member will help you complete the process.
Option 2: Access PPL@Home by going to PPL’s website at pplfirst.com/cdpap.
Option 3: Work with PPL or another approved CDPAP facilitator, including ILCs, who can guide you through the process. A list of approved CDPAP facilitators can be found
