I hate again to be the one to make an obvious point, but it is your post that "change[d] the subject" and peculiarly brought up flying in this thread about "Global Entry". (emphasis in original)
?? Ari. Maybe I have had one too many martini's tonight. The tread is titled
"Global Entry, Trusted Traveler Programs Suspended for NY Residents"
The reason for the ban GU is state’s Green Light Law. The law restricts the Department of Motor Vehicles from sharing information with immigration agencies. NY gives driver's licenses to anyone. HS uses the DMV data to make sure they are legal immigrants. Instead of arguing, you should give HS a "thank you"
We now see that New York has caved: Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Wednesday that he would seek to give federal officials access to state driving records for applicants to Global Entry

Question: If you submit and are turned down for an arrest record, I don't believe you get a refund. Someone at DHS read your application and you were denied. As you were forewarned that NY residents would be turned down (as you were if you had an arrest record, etc) I don't think you are owed a refund
