While certain provisions would be effective soon after the proposed rule is finalized, most nursing homes would have two to three years to come into compliance with federal staffing requirements.

Most nursing homes that received non-compliance notices will have to submit their requests for redetermination or penalty reductions on Thursday, Aug. 17. 

A LeadingAge NY webinar on filing redetermination and penalty reduction requests (which must be submitted by Aug. 17^th) is available on-demand to members.

This document contains screen-shots of the DOH Minimum Staffing Penalty Reduction Application which must be completed electronically.   It may be helpful for members who want to compile the required information for submission in advance of entering it on-line.

Eight in 10 nursing homes in the state were unable to meet mandated staffing levels in the first quarter of 2023.

Accurate and timely PBJ data submission is critical for Five-Star ratings and staffing level compliance.
