Your partnership has helped hospitals, health systems and health care providers continue to meet the needs of their patients and communities. Hospitals and health systems in Minnesota and across the U.S. received just over $100 billion in Medicare accelerated and advanced payment loans during 2020 to help fight COVID-19 (section 3719 of the CARES Act). Also last year, Congress extended the repayment terms of the expanded accelerated and advanced payment policy for Medicare providers, which was a tremendous help to providers.

  • April 26, 2021 the Honorable Rosa Delauro Chairwoman U.S. House
    April 26, 2021 The Honorable Rosa DeLauro The Honorable Tom Cole Chairwoman Ranking Member U.S. House Subcommittee on Labor, Health U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee and Human Services, Education and Related on Labor, Health and Human Services, Agencies Education and Related Agencies 2358-B Rayburn House Office Building 1016 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC Washington, DC 20515 Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Member Cole, As you develop the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, we are writing to respectfully request that you provide robust funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). Recognizing the need to direct taxpayer resources to programs that can demonstrate a return on federal investments, quality child care - which has a strong evidence base - plays a crucial role in supporting children's healthy development, learning, and school readiness, while also enabling parents to work, train, or pursue an education. In this way, CCDBG not only improves future opportunities for children, but also invests in parents by supporting their ability to work and be successful. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, families at every income level struggled to find and afford high-quality care, and less than twenty percent of eligible children received support through the CCDBG subsidy program. These challenges have only been exacerbated over the last year, and now, more than ever, access to affordable high-quality child care remains a barrier for many parents who wish to enter and remain in the workforce. Given the importance of this program to working families across the country and the fundamental role of child care in our economic recovery, there is a critical need for robust CCDBG funding.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012.

  • H-2A Workers in the Agricultural Supply Chain – Representative Lucas
    The Honorable David Pekoske Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 The Honorable Antony Blinken Secretary of State 2201 C St., NW Washington, DC 20520 January 29, 2021 Dear Secretary Blinken and Acting Secretary Pekoske: We write today to highlight the important role H-2A guestworkers play in the agricultural supply chain. Due to ongoing workforce shortages, American farmers use the H-2A guestworker visa program to fill vacant farm positions. The most recent available data indicates that approximately 5,000 of these valued essential workers originate from South Africa. We appreciate the Administration’s continued efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID- 19, but we ask that supply chain impacts remain top of mind during these discussions. Without an exemption to the recently imposed travel restrictions, South African H-2A worker absences would have limited the ability of American farms to continue production of food, fuel, and fiber for our nation. We thank you for your flexibility and efforts to provide an exemption for South African H-2A workers in light of national interest. That being said, we request that H-2A workers coming to the United States will be provided similar considerations as appropriate and continue to be exempted from any future travel restrictions. We also request that the State Department review current policies and procedures to ensure that the processing of these visas is not delayed due to COVID-19 related U.S. embassy or consulate closures. American farmers stand ready to implement additional COVID-19 safety protocols in the interest of maintaining worker safety and the continuity of production vital to our national food security interests.

  • August 20, 2020 the Honorable Angie Craig the Honorable Ilhan Omar
    August 20, 2020 The Honorable Angie Craig The Honorable Ilhan Omar The Honorable Tom Emmer The Honorable Collin Peterson The Honorable Jim Hagedorn The Honorable Dean Phillips The Honorable Amy Klobuchar The Honorable Tina Smith The Honorable Betty McCollum The Honorable Pete Stauber Dear Members of the United States Congress representing Minnesota, Minnesotans and people across the country are experiencing incredible levels of hardship. Our communities face unacceptable and bleak realities: hunger, housing instability, and job loss have increased dramatically since the pandemic hit. While previous policy actions like the CARES Act were vital, they have proven insufficient, and the situation is worsening. The number of Minnesotans turning to food assistance through SNAP has increased 14 percent. More households are falling behind on rent, with 16 percent of Minnesota households in that boat. And the unemployment rate is higher than at any time during the Great Recession. We need action. As a community of nonprofits, we are practiced at and driven to taking action to create a more just and thriving world. The global pandemic and community uprisings against racial inequity are revealing more of the injustices that have always been present where nonprofits live and work. Failure to respond quickly and effectively will deepen racial inequity and result in a deeper and longer-lasting recession. There is a narrow window of opportunity for lasting and meaningful change, to define this new era as one where our communities can be successful in welcoming a future that allows all to thrive. You are members of one of the most important decision-making bodies in the world, with the unique power to pass a strong and swift policy response to meet this critical moment.
