PENNSYLVANIA EMLOYEE RECONGNITION Hello George Davis. 11-7am - Sun-Thur. 11-7am – Tue-Sat 11-7am – Weekends George Davies, Davies as he is known to all of his coworkers and individuals, began his career of working to help others better their lives in the 1970’s. He spent many years working with dependent and delinquent adolescents in various roles at St. Michael’s School. On December 16, 2010 Dave began his career with EIHAB. He was one of many staff that transitioned to EIHAB when they purchased St. Michael’s School. Dave continued to work as a Direct Care Worker until the fall of 2017 when the decision to close the adolescent services came about. At that time, Dave transitioned to the IDD side and began working as a Direct Support Professional. He worked at various group homes and in 2000 he transferred to the Tioga House where he remained until his retirement in March 2024. Dave was a very dependable, time conscious employee and co-worker. He was well known for his dependability. Dave made it a lifelong goal to always be on time for his shifts no matter the weather or time of day. He is a very knowledgeable person who is willing to teach you anything he knows as long as you are willing to listen. A Community of Recognition Individual #1 – He always wanted me to have clean sheets and to do my laundry. Individual #2 – He always made sure I had clean laundry and started breakfast if I got up early. He would talk to me whenever things bothered me or I couldn’t sleep. Coworker #1 – There are so many things that can be said about George. He was a great coworker and always on time for his shifts (He expected that in return)! I hope he enjoys all of his time traveling on his bike now that he has the time for it. In all of the years that I have known him he always put everyone else first. George always did what was right for our individuals. There is nobody like him. He is one of a kind. Coworker #2 – The first things that come to mind when I think of Davies is his punctuality and compassion for others. Even when our individuals would get upset at him for asking them to do what was needed he still managed to work with them to do what was right and in their best interest. I hope he is enjoying his retirement. "We at EIHAB PA wish him all the joy of the wind on his face while he rides along in retirement. Safe travels as he travels more of North America while enjoying his retirement.

Overview of Relevant Laws The False Claims Act (31 USC Chapter 37, §§ 3729-3733) The False Claims Act is a Federal law designed to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse in Federal healthcare programs, including Medicaid and Medicare. Under the False Claims Act, anyone who “knowingly” submits false claims to the Federal Government is liable for damages up to three times the amount of the erroneous payment plus mandatory penalties of approximately $12,000 to $25,000 for each false claim submitted. The law was revised in 1986 to expand the definition of “knowingly” to include a person who: Has actual knowledge of falsity of information in the claim; Acts in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information in the claim; and Acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information in a claim. False Claims suits can be brought against individuals and entities. The False Claims Act does not require proof of a specific intent to defraud the Government. Providers can be prosecuted for a wide variety of conduct that leads to the submission of a false claim. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: Knowingly making false statements; Falsifying records; Submitting claims for services never performed or items never furnished; Double-billing for items or services; Up coding; Using false records or statements to avoid paying the Government; Falsifying time records used to bill Medicaid; or Otherwise causing a false claim to be submitted. Whistleblower or “Qui Tam” Protections In order to encourage individuals to come forward and report misconduct involving false claims, the False Claims Act contains a “Qui Tam” or whistleblower protection. The United States Government, or an individual citizen acting on behalf of the United States Government, can bring actions under the False Claims Act. An individual citizen, referred to as a whistleblower or “Relator,” who has actual knowledge of allegedly false claims may file a lawsuit on behalf of the United States Government. If the lawsuit is successful, and provided certain legal requirements are met, the whistleblower may receive an award ranging from 15% - 30% of the amount recovered. More information can be found at 31 USC 3730: Civil actions for false claims (house.gov) Employee Protections The False Claims Act prohibits discrimination by EIHAB Human Services against any employee for taking lawful actions under the False Claims Act. Any employee who is discharged, demoted, harassed, or otherwise discriminated against because of lawful acts by the employee in False Claims actions is entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole. Such relief may include reinstatement, double back pay, and compensation for any special damages, including litigation costs and reasonable attorney fees. More information can be found at 31 USC 3729: False claims (house.gov) Administrative Remedies for False Claims (31 USC Chapter 38, §§3801-3812) The Federal False Claims Act allows for administrative recoveries by Federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, which operates the Medicare and Medicaid Programs. The law prohibits the submission of a claim or written statement that the person knows or has reason to know is false, contains false information, or omits material information. The Federal agency receiving the claim may impose a monetary penalty of up to $5,500 per claim and damages of twice the amount of the original claim. Unlike the False Claims Act, a violation of this law occurs when a false claim is submitted, not when it is paid. More information can be found at 31 USC Chapter 38 - Administrative Remedies for False Claims and Statements . New York State Laws 1. Civil and Administrative Laws New York State False Claims Act (State Finance Law §§187-194) The New York State False Claims Act closely tracks the Federal False Claims Act. It imposes fines on individuals and entities that file false or fraudulent claims for payment from any State or local government, including healthcare programs such as Medicaid. The penalty for filing a false claim is $6,000 - $12,0002 per claim and the recoverable damages are between two and three times the value of the amount falsely received. In addition, the false claim filer may be responsible for the government’s legal fees. The New York State Government, or an individual citizen acting on behalf of the Government (a “Relator”), can bring actions under the New York State False Claims Act. If the suit eventually concludes with payments back to the government, the party who initiated the case can recover 15% - 30% of the proceeds, depending upon whether the government participated in the suit. The New York State False Claims Act prohibits discrimination against an employee for taking lawful actions in furtherance of an action under the False Claims Act. Any employee who is discharged, demoted, harassed, or otherwise discriminated against because of lawful acts by the employee in furtherance of an action under the False Claims Act is entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole. More information can be found at http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO: under FIS/Financial Services Law. Social Service Law §145-b False Statements It is a violation to knowingly obtain or attempt to obtain payment for items or services furnished under any Social Services program, including Medicaid, by use of a false statement, deliberate concealment, or other fraudulent scheme or device. The State or the local Social Services district may recover up to three times the amount of the incorrectly paid claim. In the case of non-monetary false statements, the local Social Service district or State may recover three times the amount incorrectly paid. In addition, the Department of Health may impose a civil penalty of up to $2,000 per violation. If repeat violations occur within five years, a penalty up to $7,500 may be imposed if they involve more serious violations of the Medicaid rules, billing for services not rendered, or providing excessive services.

Social Service Law §145-c Sanctions If any person applies for or receives public assistance, including Medicaid, by intentionally making a false or misleading statement, or intending to do so, the person’s and the person’s family needs are not taken into account for a period of six months to five years, depending upon the number of offenses.

Penal Law Article 155, Larceny The crime of larceny applies to a person who, with intent to deprive another of property, obtains, takes, or withholds the property by means of a trick, embezzlement, false pretense, false promise, including a scheme to defraud, or other similar behavior. This law has been applied to Medicaid fraud cases. More information can be found at http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO: under PEN/Penal. Penal Law Article 175, Written False Statements There are four crimes in this Article that relate to filing false information or claims. Actions include falsifying business records, entering false information, omitting material information, altering an agency’s business records, or providing a written instrument (including a claim for payment) knowing that it contains false information. Depending upon the action and the intent, a person may be guilty of a Class E felony. More information can be found at http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO: under PEN/Penal. Penal Law Article 177, Health Care Fraud This Article establishes the crime of Health Care Fraud. A person commits such a crime when, with the intent to defraud Medicaid (or other health plans, including non-governmental plans), they knowingly provide false information or omits material information for the purpose of requesting payment for a healthcare item or service and, as a result of the false information or omission, receives such a payment in an amount to which they are not entitled. Prosecution under Health Care Fraud is determined by the amount of payment inappropriately received. More information can be found at http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO: under PEN/Penal. New York Labor Law §740 An employer may not take any retaliatory personnel action against an employee if the employee discloses information about the employer’s policies, practices, or activities to a regulatory, law enforcement, or other similar agency or public official. This law offers protection to an employee who: Discloses, or threatens to disclose, to a supervisor or to a public body an activity, policy, or practice of the employer that is in violation of law, rule, or regulation that presents a substantial and specific danger to the public health or safety; Provides information to, or testifies before, any public body conducting an investigation, hearing, or inquiry into any such violation of a law, rule, or regulation by the employer; or Objects to, or refuses to participate in, any such activity, policy, or practice in violation of a law, rule, or regulation. The employee’s disclosure is protected under this law only if the employee first brought up the matter with a supervisor and gave the employer a reasonable opportunity to correct the alleged violation, with certain exceptions. The law allows employees who are the subject of a retaliatory action to bring a suit in State court for reinstatement to the same, or an equivalent position, any lost back wages and benefits and attorneys’ fees.

New York Labor Law §741 Under this law, a healthcare employer may not take any retaliatory action against an employee if the employee discloses certain information about the employer’s policies, practices, or activities to a regulatory, law enforcement, or other similar agency or public official. Protected disclosures are those that assert that, in good faith, the employee believes constitute improper quality of patient care or improper quality of workplace safety. This law offers protection to an employee who: Discloses or threatens to disclose to a supervisor, to a public body, to a news media outlet, or to a social media forum available to the public at large, an activity, policy, or practice of the employer or agent that the employee, in good faith, reasonably believes constitutes improper quality of patient care or improper quality of workplace safety; or Objects to, or refuses to participate in any activity, policy, or practice of the employer or agent that the employee, in good faith, reasonably believes constitutes improper quality of patient care or improper quality of workplace safety.

Certain exceptions apply. If the employer takes a retaliatory action against the employee, the employee may sue in State court for reinstatement to the same, or an equivalent position, any lost back wages and benefits and attorneys’ fees.

DAY SERVICES DAY SKILLS PROGRAMMING EIHAB's day program is structured to provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) a supportive environment with structured activities, including job readiness skills. The program incorporates walls, likely referring to physical spaces where various activities take place. Participants engage in activities that promote socialization, independence, and skill development, including job readiness skills such as communication, time management, problem-solving, and task completion. The goal is to prepare individuals for potential employment opportunities while fostering personal growth and community integration within a safe and encouraging setting.

This innovative program promotes personal growth, social interaction, and a sense of purpose, creating a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals to thrive outside traditional indoor settings.
