The California Department of Health has issued an All Facilities Letter (AFL) reminding skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) to submit required staffing data for Calendar Quarter 2 (April - June) 2020 through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) system by August 14, 2020. This follows the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ending the blanket waiver of Title 42 CFR 483.70(q), which requires submission of staffing data. CMS also recommends facilities submit data for Calendar Quarter 1 (January - March) 2020, although this data will not be used to calculate staffing measures or ratings. Staffing measures and ratings will be updated in October 2020 based on data submitted by the August deadline. Non-compliance may result in penalties or other consequences. Facilities should contact their local district office with any questions about the AFL.
