Premium Pay for Workforce Recruitment and Retention
On March 16, 2022, Governor Scott authorized $60 million for certain health care and social service employers to provide premium pay for workforce recruitment and retention. These funds have been made available to the State of Vermont through the Federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Section 9817 of the American Rescue Plan Act. The Agency of Human Services (AHS) is administering this program. Find information on the application process, deadlines, and informational webinars.
