For the federal awards related to the Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution (PRF) program, HHS has indicated the amounts on the Schedule be reported corresponding to reporting requirements of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) PRF Reporting Portal. Payments from HHS for PRF are assigned to ‘Payment Received Periods’ (each, a Period) based upon the date each payment was received. Each Period has a specified Period of Availability and timing of reporting requirements. Care is required to submit reports into the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal after each Period’s deadline to use the funds (i.e., after the end of the Period of Availability). The Schedule includes $6,671,091 of Period 3 and Period 4 distributions received from HHS between January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and reported by Care in the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal as used during the corresponding Periods of Availability in accordance with HHS guidance. Due to the PRF reporting requirements, this amount is not the total PRF received and recognized as grant revenue in Care’s consolidated financial statements.
