This SPA authorizes the DHS to continue to make county nursing facility safety net payments to qualifying county nursing facilities in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020. The DHS published a public notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on January 11, 2020. To qualify for a safety net payment, the facility must be a county nursing facility both during the period for which the payment is being made and at the time the payment is made. County nursing facilities located in a geographic zone where the Community HealthChoices (CHC) program will be in operation for the entire 2019-2020 fiscal year are not eligible for this payment.
