Provider Relief Fund Terms and Conditions
- All providers who have received Provider Relief Fund payments must agree to the program Terms and Conditions if they wish to keep the funds. On May 22nd, HHS announced a 45 day deadline extension for providers who are receiving payments from the Provider Relief Fund to accept the Terms and Conditions for Provider Relief Fund payments. This announcement means providers have now been granted 90 days from the date they received a payment to accept HHS Terms and Conditions or return the funds.
