Healthcare worker bonus portal opens

The Health Care and Mental Hygiene Worker Bonus program portal launched this week, initiating the process by which healthcare employers will submit claims for bonuses of up to $3,000 per person. As a result of HANYS’ advocacy, the list of eligible worker titles has expanded to include housekeeping, maintenance, clerks and other non-clinical staff. The deadline to submit claims for the first vesting period is Sept. 2.
