In March 2020 the US Federal Government passed the CARES Act to establish a $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund. It was established at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic to assist facilities with the increased costs associated with the care of Covid-19 patients.
All funds as part of the CARES Act had to be distributed to states for further distribution no later than 31 December 2021; no additional funds have been provided by Congress.
To all clinicians: Please note that no additional “Covid-19 bonuses” should be expected. It is a very real possibility that any facility in the US may have patients with active Covid-19. No additional funds have been allocated by Congress. The official Covid-19 “State of Emergency” has ended.
The pay rate posted for the shift is the accurate amount of “pay” that will be paid for any particular shift. If you have any questions about a specific shift's “pay rate” please contact support@nursa.com.
Even if “Covid-19 bonuses” were available, it would be completely up to a facility whether or not to offer “Covid-19 bonuses.”
Nursa has absolutely no control over the availability of Covid-19 funds.
If you have any questions you may find the answer to your question in one of the US government links below.
