Deadline, as Letters on a Clock

RCPA has extended the deadline for our members to complete this brief telehealth survey that will provide data for our research project with Woods Services. Your agency’s individual responses will be confidential, and only aggregated information will be shared as part of the report. The survey will remain open for responses until March 8, 2021.

This survey has been expanded across the continuum of RCPA Policy and Human Services and we respectfully request that one survey be completed for each of those program areas in which you are providing telehealth. The data we collect will be instrumental in our efforts with DHS, managed care organizations, and other critical decision makers to ensure telehealth has a place in your continuum of care.

If you have questions regarding the survey, call the principal investigator, Dr. Scott Spreat, at 215-801-2401. All other inquiries can be directed to RCPA Children’s Policy Director Jim Sharp. Thank you for your participation.

Tax Time… Get Ready!

Wednesday, March 17 from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – REGISTER

Tax season is here. Everyone wants to make sure that they get their taxes right and pay their fair share, but not more. However, filing taxes can be confusing and stressful. Taxes are a fact of life when you are working and there may be an opportunity to receive a large payment through your tax refund. Join us as we break down taxes into simple concepts and discuss how to prepare to file your taxes this year.

You’ll also learn more about free tax preparation programs and resources that may be able to help, including the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which offers low to moderate-income individuals assistance with filing their taxes. And, you’ll hear a personal account from someone who has used VITA services to file their taxes.

Attendees will learn about:

  • The Who, What, and When of income taxes and how they are calculated;
  • The key components of a 1040 form and how you can review your own;
  • Programs that can help with tax preparation in Pennsylvania; and
  • How to get the most out of your tax refund.

For questions or help with registration, please contact Megan Bolin at 888-744-1938 or via email.

Join us and gain the tools you need to have an impact.
