CMS Extends Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program Waivers

CMS has extended the Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program waivers that have been in place in states and facilities – all of these waivers have now been extended until the end of the PHE, May 11, 2023. 

CMS has also confirmed that after these waivers end, facilities will have four months (until September 10, 2023) for all nurse aides (TNAs) hired prior to the end of the PHE to obtain certification. See pages 5-6 in this CMS PHE Fact Sheet for greater details.
