List of Acceptable Expenses (Post March 15, 2020)
- Housing expenses – We recognize that some Learners live with vulnerable populations and may wish to arrange alternate accommodations during their redeployment or a high-risk rotation.
- Childcare expenses.
Criteria
- A Learner must have been redeployed and fulfilled/completed part/all of a redeployment rotation.
- A Learner incurred housing or childcare expenses as of March 15, 2020 due to rotating in a high-risk rotation (noted above).
Guidelines
- PGME will pay 50% of an alternate housing invoice (hotel stay, etc.), childcare invoice, up to a maximum of $500 per Learner (i.e. if a receipt is submitted for $700, PGME will reimburse the Learner for $350).
- Applicable expenses incurred as of March 15, 2020 will be considered.
- An official receipt must detail the incurred expense.
- Please note: A one time submission of all expenses per Learner is preferred (to a maximum per Learner of $500).
Process
- We guarantee equitable access to the subsidy for redeployed Learners and Learners considered to be in a high-risk rotation.
- Requests must be submitted via the online form prior to June 30, 2020.
- List of Acceptable expenses may extend to include additional expenses as the situation evolves.
- A one-time maximum amount of $500 will be allocated for each Learner.
- Learners can expect a refund in approximately three weeks of submission.
If PGME McMaster receives additional funding to support this initiative – we will reconsider the $500 cap identified in the Guidelines noted above.
