U.S. Senator Jerry Moran announced Friday that the Department of Health and Human Services is going to be distributing over $63 million to Kansas Skilled Nursing Facilities to help aid the effects of Covid-19.

Each Skilled Nursing Facility will receive a fixed distribution of $50,000, plus $2,500 per bed. All certified Skilled Nursing Facilities with six or more certified beds are eligible for this distribution.

Nursing home recipients must attest that they will only use relief fund payments for permissible purposes. This funding was provided through the CARES Act.
