On April 10, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a stipulated preliminary injunction (the “Order”) in Engesser v. McDonald, providing more time for consumers and workers in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) to register with Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL) to ensure people do not lose their care. Engesser is a lawsuit that was filed on March 26, 2025, by CDPAP Consumers in New York State against the Department of Health (DOH). The April 10 Order was jointly agreed to by the plaintiffs and the DOH and replaces the prior Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued in Engesser and restructures how the transition to PPL will proceed through June 6, 2025, unless extended to a later date by the Court.
