We have revised the calculation of the Paid Annual Leave award and verified that it uses the pay rates in effect at the time of the award for all employees. We confirmed that no other expenses for the COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (“Provider Relief Fund”) reporting involved costs subject to similar point in time report parameters. The change to this cost item does not impact the full utilization of the Provider Relief Fund due to the presence of other expenses in the same category along with unreimbursed expenses and unused lost revenues remaining after the funds were exhausted.
The discrepancy was due to imprecise instructions in the request for information. In the future, such ad hoc requests and the responsive reports will be verified by the Executive Director of Corporate Accounting before use.
