Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make emergency grants to health care facilities and home health agencies during declared emergencies or disasters. Grant funds must be used to provide hazard pay (up to $13 per hour, capped at $25,000 annually) to essential health care workers whose work cannot be performed remotely, or may be used for safety measures such as personal protective equipment and alternative transportation. The bill defines eligible workers broadly to include direct care providers, medical technologists, public health workers, orderlies, and environmental service workers in health care settings.
