Don’t Miss the COVID Relief Fund Reporting Period 5 Deadline
Though the feds ended the COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund (PRF) disbursements, that doesn’t mean you are exempt from reporting on the payments you already received. Reminder: “Recipients who received one or more General Distribution, Targeted Distribution, or ARP Rural Distribution payments exceeding $10,000, in the aggregate, from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 ARE REQUIRED to report on the use of their payments during Reporting Period 5,” according to the HHS Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) on its webpage. Caution: If you have unused funds, they must be returned within 30 days of your report submission. Review the most updated reporting details at https://prfreporting.hrsa.gov/s/.
