CARES Act Provider Relief Fund Compliance Podcast Series
Part I - Overview of the Public Health and Social Services Fund (Provider Relief Fund) and key considerations when accepting funds
Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, $175 billion has been appropriated to the Provider Relief Fund.

This three part podcast series will discuss Provider Relief Fund requirements, the rules on how grant monies are to be spent and accounted for and how to best position your organization for future federal audits and enforcement activities.
In Part I of the series, we will provide an overview of the Public Health and Social Services Fund, commonly referred to as the Provider Relief Fund, the oversight structure and identify key compliance considerations that recipients should keep in mind when accepting these funds.
