Dear USET/USET SPF Family,
On June 11, 2021 the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released revised reporting requirements and reporting timelines for recipients of Provider Relief Fund (PRF) payments. Revisions include extending the amount of time providers will have to report information, reducing burdens on smaller providers, and extending key deadlines for expending PRF payments for recipients who received payments after June 30, 2020.
Reporting requirements for PRF payments were previously updated on January 15, 2021. The revised reporting requirements include the following:
- The period of availability of funds is based on the date the payment is received, rather than requiring all payments be used by June 30, 2021, regardless of when they were received.
- Recipients are required to report for each Payment Received Period in which they received one or more payments exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000, rather than $10,000 cumulatively across all PRF payments.
- Recipients will have a 90-day period to complete reporting, rather than a 30-day reporting period.
- The PRF Reporting Portal will open for providers to start submitting information on July 1, 2021.
