UPDATE – 1/9/2023
After receiving a number of questions regarding repayment, in particular where an employee fails to complete their full-service obligation, OMH has decided to elaborate further prior to sending out award letters so applicants and their employees are fully aware of all the requirements of the award. In the example employer-employee agreement, language was added to explicitly detail the responsibilities of both parties regarding repayment (item P). This additional language outlines what is required by OMH and what is left to the applicant's discretion. Any questions (along with their answers) regarding repayment will be posted in the following Questions & Answers (last revision was 12/15/2022).
OMH has updated the following documents to reflect this:
