On August 13, 2020, Residential Care Services (RCS) issued a provider letter indicating Governor Proclamation 20-19.3 applied to long-term care (LTC) facilities and agencies. This proclamation pertained to the eviction moratorium during the COVID-19 outbreak and the RCS provider letter outlined activities prohibited by the moratorium including increasing rent/fees or
issuing a notice to vacate for non-payment of fees. The moratorium applied to all certified and licensed long-term care settings including: Nursing Homes, Adult Family Homes, Enhanced Services Facilities, Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, Certified Community Residential Services and Support, and Assisted Living Facilities. The
moratorium also applied to the independent living residents residing within assisted living facilities.

On June 30, 2021 both the federal and state eviction moratoriums are set to expire. At that time, LTC providers will be able to resume issuing a notice of discharge if a resident has not paid fees. Providers will also be able to resume any standard activities related to fee increases.  More 021-06-17-1  Letter
