With the difficult circumstances regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, RCPA member Maher Duessel, a specialized full service CPA firm, would like to provide you with some important updates in key four areas: reporting filing date changes, legislative and regulatory updates, best practices for governments and non-profits, and financial assistance programs. Listed below is a summary of updates regarding these areas. Also, we have posted some helpful links on our website. We encourage you to monitor our blog for future updates regarding COVID-19 as matters evolve.

You are welcome to use our resource blog below and on our website. We have a team working on these issues. We will update as information becomes available and you are welcome to forward questions to us. We are also assisting with filling out loan apps under the new law if members need assistance. View the full message from Maher Duessel.

RCPA has been contacted about the potential opportunity to order surgical masks (3-ply disposable mask with ear loop) for use in residential programs, homes, and outpatient settings. These are NOT N-95 masks which are used for inpatient settings. To understand the difference, view this flyer.

There are 220 masks in a box, available for $220/box, which includes shipping and are shipped directly to the provider. Delivery is expected within 15–20 days from the date the order is placed. You may request as many boxes as you need; however, we cannot guarantee the full order until all orders are received.

Please use this link to complete your request with the information we need. This is extremely time sensitive, so we are asking that each organization coordinate their order and submit by 1:00 pm TODAY.
