DOH Circulates ALP Minimum Wage Survey
(July 29, 2025) On July 29th, the Department of Health (DOH) circulated the 2025 minimum wage survey to Assisted Living Program (ALP) providers. The email contains several attachments: the Microsoft Excel file survey, an instructions document, an attestation form, as well as a Dear Administrator Letter (DAL), also available here. For 2025, the minimum wage increased from $16 to $16.50 in NYC, Long Island, and Westchester County, and from $15 to $15.50 in the rest of the state. The survey, which requests payroll data for January through June 2025, is due by Sept. 19th. The data collected will be the basis for 2025 Medicaid rate adjustments.
Programs not impacted by the increase may opt out of the survey by selecting the opt-out option and returning the signed attestation. DOH is fielding questions by email at alp-rates@health.ny.gov. Please indicate “Minimum Wage 2025” in the subject line.
