LA County Financial Reward for the Updated COVID-19 Vaccine

Dear Skilled Nursing Facility partners in Los Angeles County,

The Los Angeles County (LAC) Department of Public Health (DPH) is excited to announce applications are opening very soon for the 2023-2024 Updated COVID-19 Financial Reward Program! This program is only available to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in LAC including Pasadena and Long Beach. Please click on this link (attachment) for details on the two rewards that are offered this year to the first 100 facilities to or until funds run out - $7,500 per facility for having at least 80% of residents up to date with the 2023-2024 formulation of the COVID-19 vaccine and/or $2,500 per facility for having at least 80% of staff up to date. The resident and staff census must include everyone who resided or worked at the facility at any time over a 1-week period from Monday through Sunday between Nov 13 thru Dec 17, 2023. If facilities qualify for both rewards, they could be rewarded $10,000 in total.
