Direct Care Workforce Survey Available and Due Next Week on March 15
The Division of Medicaid Services (DMS) released the 2024 Direct Care Workforce Survey. It is now available for providers to complete. Responses are due Friday, March 15th. Providers should complete this survey based on all direct care workforce payments received since June 2023. These payments include:
- 2022 Payment 2 distributed in June 2023
- 2023 Payment 1 distributed in December 2023
The survey is consistent with last year’s format which was streamlined to collect high level information from providers regarding the amount received from these payments and how this amount was spent. Control numbers do not need to be entered. Completion of the survey is a requirement of participation in the DCW Funding Initiative. The results will only be used for reporting purposes on the effectiveness of these payments and will not be used as validation for future payments.
Additional information is available on the Direct Care Workforce Funding Initiative FAQ page.
