Important Notes about Eligibility, Course Completion, and Caring4Cal Incentives

In order to be eligible for the incentive, learners must be a resident of the state of California and work (or intend to work) in one of these eligible job roles Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Home Health Aide (HHA), Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), Community Health Worker (CHW) (in a home setting ONLY), Respiratory Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Physical Therapists, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Dental Hygienists, or other licensed HCBS healthcare professionals.
In order to qualify for the incentive, learners must attest to the following statement before beginning the course: "I acknowledge that I either currently work in, or intend to work toward, an eligible job role (HHA, CNA, LVN, RN, or other eligible licensed provider). I also acknowledge that I currently work in, or plan to seek employment in, an eligible HCBS job setting. If I am or plan to become a Community Health Worker (CHW), I acknowledge that I do or will work in a home-based (not community-based) setting."
All work of individual learners will be checked to ensure satisfactory completion of the course requirements clearly outlined in Module 1. Any learner who does not satisfy all of the course requirements will be ineligible for the financial incentive.
Any learner who does not complete the coursework within 3 weeks will be un-enrolled to allow for learners on the waitlist to enroll. Learners who are removed due to not completing coursework within 3 weeks may be allowed to re-enroll at the beginning of the course based on available incentives.
Caring4Cal incentives for eligible learners who complete all course requirements are limited and will be processed on a first-to-complete basis.
Once the maximum number of Caring4Cal incentives available for this course has been reached, no further incentives will be offered, and in-progress learners will be notified immediately.
Other courses that may still have incentives available can be found at https://www.caring4cal.org/en/home-care-provider-training/
