SHARE: As lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo draw closer to a budget deal, a controversial fund to provide aid to people who were ineligible for unemployment and federal stimulus relief has been a final sticking point in finalizing the spending plan. And it’s revealing fissures among Democratic members of the state Legislature. Gov. Andrew Cuomo initially didn’t include the fund in his executive budget proposal. But both the state Senate and the Assembly included $2.1 billion to create the fund meant to provide aid to undocumented immigrants. Then the plan to create the fund seemed to fall apart over the weekend. Some 30 Democratic Assembly members and 13 Democratic senators reportedly had separate private meetings to express their reservations with the fund for people who have not received any unemployment or federal stimulus funds in the past year. Among the chief concerns, according to legislative sources, included proving residency, tax withholdings for the payments, the size of the fund and documentation requirements to prove loss of income.
