Alright, let’s talk about this healthcare worker bonus thing, ya know, the money they promised. I heard folks callin’ it “vesting period 4 payout date” and all that fancy talk. Don’t know much about fancy words, but I know about money, and I know when folks are supposed to get paid.
So, this here bonus, it’s like a thank you, they say. For all them healthcare workers, the ones takin’ care of sick folks. Nurses, aides, all them. They worked hard, especially durin’ that bad time, ya know, when everyone was gettin’ sick. And the government, they said they’d give ’em some extra money, a bonus, they called it.
Now, this bonus, it ain’t just one big chunk of money. It’s split up, like, into pieces, they call ’em “vesting periods.” Think of it like this, you work a certain amount of time, say six months, that’s a vesting period. And for each period you work, you get some money. They say some folks could get up to $3000, that’s a lot of money, ya know. But you gotta work for it, ain’t no free handouts.
What’s this Vesting Period 4 all about?
Well, from what I hear, this Vesting Period 4, it’s for the folks workin’ from April 1st, 2023 to September 30th, 2023. That’s six months right there. If you worked durin’ them months, and you’re one of them healthcare workers, then you might be gettin’ some money. They say it’s $1500 for each vesting period. But you gotta be one of them “qualified” workers, whatever that means. Probably means you gotta show up and do your job, not just sit around drinkin’ coffee all day.
When do you get paid?
Now that’s the big question, ain’t it? When do you get the money? Well, they say the bosses, the ones who hire the workers, they gotta pay up within 30 days of gettin’ the money from the government. So, the government gives the money to the bosses, and the bosses give the money to the workers. Simple as that. But the government, they ain’t always fast, ya know. So, you might have to wait a bit.
And I heard somethin’ about a deadline, October 31st. Seems like the bosses gotta submit somethin’ by then, some kinda claim, to get the money for Vesting Period 4. If they miss the deadline, well, who knows when you’ll get paid. Maybe never. That’s why it’s important for them bosses to do their job and get them claims in on time.
And what if you didn’t get paid for the other vesting periods?
Seems like some folks didn’t get their money for the earlier vesting periods, Vesting Period 1 and 2 they called them, from October 1st, 2021 all the way to March 31st, 2022. Well, I heard they might still be able to get it. The bosses can still submit claims for them periods, even if they missed the first deadline. But they gotta do it quick, ya know, before it’s too late. The government ain’t gonna wait forever.
- Important Dates:
- Vesting Period 4: April 1, 2023 – September 30, 2023

So, if you’re one of them healthcare workers, and you worked durin’ Vesting Period 4, keep an eye out. And if you didn’t get paid for the other periods, talk to your boss, tell ’em to get them claims in. Don’t let ’em keep your money. You earned it, you deserve it. And if they give you some form to fill out, like that IT-225 thing they talk about, fill it out. Don’t want to miss out on your money just because of some paperwork.
In short, work hard, get paid. That’s how it should be. Don’t let anyone cheat you out of your hard-earned money, ya hear? And if you gotta fill out some forms, do it. Paperwork is a pain, but it’s worth it if it means gettin’ your money. That’s all there is to it.
This whole thing is part of the 2022-2023 New York State Budget, I heard. Government stuff, always complicated. But the bottom line is, money for workers. And that’s a good thing, ya know.
This is just what I heard, mind you. I ain’t no expert, just a person listenin’ to the talk around town. If you want the real details, you gotta ask them government folks or your boss. They’ll tell you the real story. Just make sure you get what’s comin’ to you.
