Hit PRF Reporting Deadline In Light Of COVID Relief Fraud Scrutiny
Reminder: The last day to use your funds was June 30. Don’t overlook an important financial deadline coming up on Sept. 30. “The Provider Relief Fund (PRF) Reporting Portal closes for Reporting Period 3 on Friday, September 30,” the Health Resources and Services Administration notes in a message to providers. “Providers who received one or more PRF payment[s] exceeding $10,000, in the aggregate, during the third Payment Received Period must report on their use of funds to comply with PRF Reporting Requirements,” HRSA instructs. The RP3 timeframe ran from Jan. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, HRSA notes on its website. The deadline to use RP3 funds was June 30, 2022.
