OLD BUSINESS
None
NEW BUSINESS
Larry Smith presented additional information related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was discussed at the March 2021 meeting. He noted staff had been receiving questions regarding which rate years could be affected. He also noted that PPP fund recipients had up to 10 months after the end of the covered period to request loan forgiveness and this could cause conflicts with generally accepted accounting principles when it came down to audit reporting; in addition, some providers and accountants noted the same issues. The primary point, however, is to avoid “double-dipping” per federal and GATA directives.
He noted that IAPSEC has requested time during the public comment section of the May 2021 meeting to discuss member concerns. Chris Dirks also noted some of the same concerns as far as reporting requirements as well.
Chair Sue Taylor thanked Larry for the updates and asked to have the item placed on the May 2021 meeting under “Old Business” with the Board’s concurrence.
ADJOURNMENT
Chair Sue Taylor asked if there was any additional business for the Board’s consideration. Hearing none, she asked for a motion to adjourn. Chris Dirks made the motion to adjourn the meeting; Kerrie Rawlings seconded the motion. The motion passed, and meeting adjourned at 1:36 p.m.
The next regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board will be on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. in the Board Room on the fourth floor of the Illinois State Board of Education, Springfield Office, unless circumstances require the meeting to be held via Webinar.
