Addendum to DAL 20-17 Extends Submission Deadline for EQUAL funds

The New York State Department of Health has issued an addendum to DAL 20-17  regarding EQUAL funds and has extended the submission deadline to Monday, March 22, 2021.  NYSCAL continues to advocate for you with the New York State Department of Health to extend the submission deadline even further so that providers can have the appropriate time to get pricing or bids for capital items and have time to meet with the residents to review the proposed submission. In addition, NYSCAL is advocating for facilities to be able to use the December 31, 2019 census data instead of the facility’s current census as COVID has decreased current facility census.  In addition to our e-mail, we urge facilities to write to equal@health.ny.gov to also voice your concerns. There is power in numbers!  The addendum is attached.
