How to Report

Repayment and Debt Collection

HRSA began issuing Final Repayment Notices to recipients of Provider Relief Fund payments who did not report in applicable PRF Reporting Periods as required and must now repay funds to HRSA. For more information about this process, review the Repayment and Debt Collection webpage.

Providers can submit a Decision Review to request a review of HRSA’s decision to seek repayment. The Decision Review process is only for providers that have received a Final Repayment Notice and do not agree with the repayment amount or reason(s) contained in this Notice. The Decision Review request must be submitted through the Decision Review portal within 60-days of the date of the Final Repayment Notice.

Program update: Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements

HRSA published an updated PRF Distributions and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements on April 22, 2024. The Notice supersedes all previous Notices of Reporting Requirements.

Key updates included:

The removal of Reporting Periods 8 and 9 line items to indicate the end of payment disbursements due to the Fiscal Responsibility Act

A reporting Tax ID Number (TIN) submitting reports in multiple reporting periods will only need to register once. However, those new to the reporting process will need to complete this step.
