On Friday, August 14, Senators Casey (D) and Toomey (R) circulated a letter to the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation — signed by almost every member of the delegation. The letter requests that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) allow providers that have been impacted by COVID-19, and have not received targeted distributions from the Federal government through the CARES Act, to directly apply for funding from the Provider Relief Fund. The letter also outlines previous issues providers were facing when applying for and receiving allocations of these federal funds.
