BANKING RESOURCES TO HELP PROVIDERS
Many local banks recognize the hardships that Ohioans are facing, and they have committed to working through creative ways to help. Many banks are offering a number of measures to help customers.
REMINDER ABOUT LIMITING PUBLIC EXPOSURES
Knowing how important it is for everyone to limit their public exposure, please know that if you are picking up groceries or other supplies for someone you are providing direct services to, you are able to bill HPC even if they are not with you. (e.g. on behalf of services). Also, don’t forget that your SSA or other county board staff could also pick up and make deliveries.
DELAY HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS
All health insurers are required to provide the option of deferring premium payments, interest free, for up to 60 calendar days from each original premium due date. This means that employers can defer their premium payments up to two months, giving them some relief on costs, while keeping their employees insured.
NEW TOOL FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BE HOSPITALIZED
Responding to concerns that some people with developmental disabilities may have to enter a hospital/emergency room without the assistance of their direct support professional or family member due to COVID-19 protocols, a one-page (front/back) document has been developed that allows you to share key health information with medical professionals. If you have questions or need help filling any of this information out, please contact our SSA Department.
BWC OFFERS ANSWERS TO COVID-19 WORKERS COMP QUESTIONS
The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation has complied information related to COVID-19 and how it may affect employers and employees.
As always, the health, safety and well-being of our individuals, students and staff remain our top priorities. If you have any questions, please contact our Superintendent Stacey Maleckar at 330-725-7751 ext. 224. Thank you for your continued support of our agency.
