New York v. Shalala

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) denied federal reimbursement to the State of New York and two of its agencies for interest costs associated with the State’s acquisition of computer equipment and publicly owned building space used by the State to administer several social service programs that are partly funded by the federal government. These disallowances were affirmed by HHS’s Departmental Appeals Board, whose decisions were upheld by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Shira A. Scheindlin, District Judge). See New York *120v. Shalala, 979…
