The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued an All Facilities Letter (AFL) temporarily waiving specified statutory and regulatory requirements for Home Health Aide (HHA) Training Programs due to the COVID-19 state of emergency. The waiver allows HHA Training Programs to provide up to 75 hours of required classroom training through an online or distance learning format. This temporary waiver is set to expire on September 30, 2021. Until then, HHA Training Programs do not need to submit individual program flexibility requests for the specified waiver. However, they must still notify CDPH of any changes to core curriculum, training hours, program staff, or contracted services. HHA Training Programs may also apply for waivers of other requirements not specified in the AFL. Facilities should contact the Healthcare Workforce Branch with any questions regarding this AFL.
