An audit shows the New York City Department of Education has left hundreds of millions in Medicaid reimbursements unclaimed for special education services from mid-2023 to mid-2025, despite long-standing calls to maximize federal reimbursements.

The Archdiocese of New York has reached a framework for a settlement with 1,300 abuse survivors. Each survivor will have the option of a lump-sum payment of at least $250,000, with potential larger payouts after a review of abuse severity. Final approval is expected in early November, signaling a major step toward accountability and healing.
