Not quite, a lot of money was allocated for “Hero Bonuses”.
The problem came when the hospitals were put in charge of that money, most of them tried to disappear it until the government said either pay your employees, or you will be paying it back with interest.
In my experience, they decided that if you called in at all in 2020, that disqualified you from the bonus. Keep in mind this was the same hospital that was hoarding PPE, and wouldn’t provide it until patients tested positive. Then as an ultimate fuck you to the nurses that actually worked the COVID units, they gave every employee in the system a bonus, whether or not they were furloughed at the time.

And they wonder why so many nurses quit…
