Non-Nursing Facility Providers

The Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) will be holding a second webinar on December 1, 2020 from 9:00 am – 11:00 am to provide information on the Act 24 cost reports and give agencies providing personal assistance, residential habilitation, and adult day services a chance to ask questions. Personal care homes and assisted living residences are also invited to attend. The first webinar, scheduled for November 20, 2020, reached capacity, demonstrating the interest in this topic. As a result, OLTL has scheduled another webinar to provide an opportunity for providers to participate.

The due date for the final report is December 21, 2020. No interim report is due for non-nursing facility providers.

Members interested in participating in this webinar must register as soon as possible as there is again a maximum capacity of 500 participants per webinar. Please limit attendance to no more than two individuals per organization. The session will be recorded, and the recording and material covered during the webinar will be made available online.

The Excel reporting template is provided for reference. Questions regarding Act 24 reporting can be sent here.

On October 27, 2020, the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) notified all providers that interim reporting of COVID-19 related costs under Act 24 would be due on November 6, 2020. Because of unforeseen delays in web portal user provisioning for OLTL providers and recognition that this delay may not allow enough time for providers to gather and report their data, OLTL has changed its reporting requirements. There will be no interim report required of non-nursing facility providers. In preparation for final reporting on the use of Act 24 funding, now due December 21, 2020, OLTL recommends that providers begin to populate the applicable Excel reporting template now.

OLTL will offer a webinar to give non-nursing facility providers a chance to ask questions about reporting COVID-19 related costs under Act 24. Information about the webinar, including date and time, will be issued in the near future.

As a reminder, providers are advised to review the guidance for eligible COVID-19 costs in DHS’s Frequently Asked Questions and on the following US Department of Treasury websites: Coronavirus-Relief-Fund-Guidance and Coronavirus-Relief-Fund-Frequently-Asked-Questions. These documents outline the conditions and acceptable uses of Cares Act and Act 24 funding. Most importantly, the deadline by which costs must be incurred to be eligible under Act 24 is November 30, 2020.

Any provider who does not expect to use all or part of the Act 24 funding may return the funds to OLTL at:
