Reference: Department of Budget and Management and Department of Health Joint Circular (JC) No. 2022-0001 (Guidelines on the Grant of One COVID-19 Allowance (OCA) to Public and Private Health care Workers (HCWs) and Non-HCWs in Health Facilities Involved in COVID-19 Response)
Refer to personnel assigned in all health facilities involved in COVID-19 response in line with the National Action Plan COVID-19 strategy of Prevention, Detection, Isolation, Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Vaccination (PDITR+) strategy. HCWs comprise medical and health allied personnel who provide direct health care, whereas, non-HCWs provide technical, administrative and support care within the health facilities.
Sila ay ang mga personnel na nakatalaga sa mga health facility na tumutugon sa COVID-19 na may kaugnayan sa National Action Plan COVID-10 stategy na Prevention, Detection, Isolation, Treatment, and Vaccination (PDITR+). Ang mga HCW ang mga medical at health allied personnel na direktang nagbibigay ng pangkalusugang pangangalaga sa mga pasyente habang ang mga non-HCW naman ay nagbibigay ng technical, administrative, at support care sa mga health facility.
The full rate based on the health care work risk classification shall be granted to those who physically rendered their service in a month for 96 hours.
Mabibigyan ng full rate batay sa healthcare work risk classification ang mga nag-physical reporting ng 96 na oras sa loob ng isang buwan.
YES. The full rate based on the health care work risk classification shall be granted to those who physically rendered their service in a month for 96 hours.
If hours physically rendered is below 96 hours, the formula below for prorated benefits shall be applied:
Prorated allowance = (actual hours physically reported for work/96 hours) x full amount
OO. Ang full rate ay nakabatay sa health care work risk classification at maibibigay sa mga nakapag-physical reporting ng 96 hours sa loob ng isang buwan.
Kung mas mababa sa 96 na oras ang naigugol, gagamitin ang formulang nasa ibaba para sa pagbibilang ng benepisyo.
Prorated allowance = (actual hours physically reported for work/96 hours) x full amount
The formula below for prorated benefits shall be applied:
Prorated allowance = (actual hours physically reported for work/96 hours) x full amount
Gamitin ang formula na nasa ilalim para sa prorated benefits:
Prorated allowance = (actual hours physically reported for work/96 hours) x full amount
What if the HCW only rendered a few days in high risk area and spent the rest of the month in moderate or low risk area?
The higher risk classification shall prevail. The full rate based on the health care work risk classification shall be granted to those who physically rendered their service in a month for 96 hours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paano kung ang HCW ay ilang araw lamang nagtrabaho sa high risk area at nailipat na sa natitirang mga araw ng buwan sa moderate o low risk area?
Susundin pa rin ang higher risk classification. Ang full rate ay nakabatay sa health care work risk classification at maibibigay sa mga nakapag-physical reporting ng 96 hours sa loob ng isang buwan.
The OCA of personnel hired on a part-time basis in one or more health facilities involved in COVID-19 response shall be in direct proportion to the services rendered, provided that the total OCA received from all sources shall not exceed PhP 9,000.00 for high risk, PhP 6,000 for medium risk, and PhP 3,000 for low risk. Otherwise, that will be considered as DOUBLE COMPENSATION or UNJUST ENRICHMENT, with corresponding sanctions. The higher risk classification of the healthcare worker among all the health facility he/she is affiliatedd with shall prevail and serve as basis for computation. Included in the function of the CHDs in Section VI.B.4 is the evaluation, validation and certification of the submitted claims for the grant of the OCA to eligible HCWs and non-HCWs assigned in health facilities involved in COVID-19 response.
On the other hand, in the case of different risk classifications, the highest compensation shall serve as the maximum limit.
Nakabatay ang OCA sa serbisyong gagampanan ng hired personnel na naka-part time sa higit isang facility basta hindi ito lalampas sa Php 9,000, kung high risk; Php 6,000, kung moderate risk; at Php 3,000 kung low risk. Kung hindi, ito ay maituturing na DOUBLE COMPENSATION o UNJUST ENRICHMENT, at magkakaroon ito ng karampatang parusa. Ang mas mataas na risk classification ng healthcare worker ang susundin at magiging batayan ng kanyang benepisyo. Kinakailangan ang evaluation, validation, at certification ng pagsusumite ng grant ng OCA para sa mga eligible HCW at non-HCWs na nakatalaga sa mga facility na tumutugon sa COVID-19 batay sa Section VI.B4 ng CHDs.
Sa kabilang banda, kung magkakaiba ang risk classifications, ang may pinakamataas na konpensasyon o rate ang magsisilbing limit
The OCA of an eligible public or private HCW or non-HCW detailed to another government agency shall be granted by the parent agency.
Makukuha ng eligible detailed public o private HCW o non-HCW sa kanyang parent agency.
The funds will be from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 General Appropriations Act (GAA). CHD will transfer funds to LGUs-owned health facilities and private health facilities based on the number of submitted eligible HCWs and non-HCWs subject to their compliance with the submission of documentary requirements, particularly those required per government accounting rules and regulations.
Magmumula ang mga pondo sa Fiscal Year (2022) General Appropriations Act (GAA). Ang CHD ang maglilipat ng pondo sa mga LGU-owned health facility at private health facility batay sa bilang ng mga isinumiting eligible HCWs o non-HCWs na nakadepende sa compliance sa pagpapasa ng mga kahingiang dokumentaryo, parikular sa mga kahingian ng gobyerno para sa accounting rules and regulations.
YES. Health facility shall be duly licensed or designated by the DOH for COVID-19 response in accordance with the latest National Action Plan Against COVID-19. However, the National Action Plan for COVID-19 Response also clearly stipulates that certain health facilities are part of COVID-19 response. BHS, RHUs and Urban Health Centers while not licensed are considered as part of COVID-19 response and thus need not be certified by DOH as part of COVID-19 response.
OO. Kinakailangang lisensyado o itinalaga ng DOH bilang tumutugon sa COVID-19 batay sa National Action Plan Against COVID-19 ang mga favility. Gayunpaman, may paglilinaw na sa National Action Plan for COVID-19 Response na ang ilang health facility ay kabilang sa mga tumutugon sa COVID-19. Ang mga BHS, RHU, at UHC ay hindi lisensyado ng DOH ngunit binibilang sila bilang tumutugon sa COVID-19. Hindi na kinakailangan ng mga nabanggit ang ma-certify ng DOH bilang bahagi ng mga tumutugon sa COVID-19.
Health facilities need to submit the following:
1. Annex A (COVID-19 Risk Exposure Classification of HCWs, number of hours physically rendered and OCA amount) and;
2. Annex B (attestation on the truthfulness of the contents of the report and consent for sharing of data has been obtained from the personnel involved). The certification must be signed by the head of human resource or personnel division (if such division is in the structure) and the head of agencies/operations, clearly indicating his/her designation or position.
The electronic submissions of reports will be implemented once the electronic reporting system has been developed. A DOH circular shall be issued once the said system is available and operational.
Kinakailangang isumite ng mga facility ang mga sumusunod:
1. Annex A (COVID-19 Risk Exposure Classification ng mga HCW, bilang ng oras nang physical reporting at halaga ng OCA) at
2. Annex B (patunay na totoo ang mga report at pahintulot na ibahagi ang mga personal na data ng mga personnel). Kinakailangang pirmado ng pinuno ng human resource o ng personnel division at ng mga pinuno ng ahensya/operasyon ang mga dokumentong nagpapatunay ng posisyon ng empleyado.
Maaaring ipasa electronically ang mga kahingian sa sandaling madevelop na ang electronic reporting system. Magpapalaganap ng DOH Circular kung sakaling available at operational na ang system.
The Department Memorandum No. 2022-0072 recommended guidelines for the validation process of the uploaded CREC for the following:
1. For public and private health facilities under LGUs, and Municipal/City/Provincial Health Offices:
a.The submitted reports shall be validated by the respective Development Management Officer (DMO) of each local government unit where the health facility is situated based on the Service Delivery Network.
b. Each DMO shall create an account under their respective CHDs in order to access the same database.
2. For DOH health facilities (PDOHO and CHD)
a. The submitted reports shall be validated by the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) or Personnel Division of the respective CHDs.
b. The HRMO shall create an account under their respective CHD in order to access the database.
The health facilities involved in COVID-19 response may refer to any public and private institution with health care as their core service, function or business. Health care pertains to the maintenance or improvement of the health of individuals or populations through the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and chronic management of disease, illness, injury and other physical and mental ailments or impairments. On the other hand, health facilities refer to those duly licensed or designated by the DOH, including the DOH-Central Office, Centers for Health Development (CHDs), Provincial/City/Municipal Health Offices, and Local Government Health Offices, for COVID-19 response in accordance with the latest National Action Plan Against COVID-19.
Maituturing na may kaugnayan ang isang health facility sa pagtugon sa COVID-19 kung healthcare ang pangunahin nitong serbisyo, tungkulin, o negosyo - mapa-pribado man ito o pampubliko. Ang health care ay tumutukoy sa maintenance o pagpapabuti ng kalusugan ng mga indibidwal o populasyon sa pamamagitan ng prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, at chronic management ng mga sakit, karamdaman, injury, o kahit na ano pang physical at mental impairments. Sa kabilang banda, ang mga health facility ay lisensyado o itinalaga ng DOH, kabilang na ang DOH-Central Office, Centers for Health Development (CHDs), Provincial/City/Municipal Health Offices, and Local Government Health Offices na tumutugon sa COVID-19 alinsunod sa National Action Plan Against COVID-19.
Since GAA 2022 does not apply to 2021, there no legal basis to cover July - December 2021 but this will be addressed in the proposed bill that is currently at the Office of the President which has retroactive effect on July 2021. The DOH shall update HCWs should the said bill be already signed and enacted into law.
Dahil hindi maaaring i-apply ang GAA 2022 sa 2021, walang sapat na legal na batayan upang ma-cover ang Hulyo-Disyembre 2021. Tinugunan naman ito ng ipinasang batas sa Office of the President kung saan retroactive simula Hulyo 2021 ang epekto nito. Mangyaring mag-uupdate ang DOH sa mga HCW kung mapipirmahan at maipapasa ang batas.
For question or clarifications , please reach out to your respective CHDs. For questions and clarifications of CHDs, please reach out to Administration and Financial Management Team.
Para sa inyong mga katanungan, abutin lamang ang inyong mga CHD. Para sa mga katanungan at paglilinaw ng mga CHD, abutin ang Administration and Financial Management Team.
Health-Related Establishment - shall refer to a health service facility or unit which performs health service delivery functions within an agency whose legal mandate is not primarily the delivery of health services.
Ang mga Health-Related Establishment ay mga unit na nagsasagawa o nagbibigay ng mga serbisyong medikal bagamat ang unit na ito ay kabilang sa isang ahensya na ang pangunahing mandato ay hindi tungkol sa pangangalaga ng kalusugan.

Yes, OCA is taxable.
Oo, may buwis ang OCA.
The One COVID-19 Allowance is the most inclusive and equitable benefit for all healthcare workers. The grant of SRA, AHDP and MAT will no longer continue in 2022 due to lack of Legal Basis, instead OCA will be provided to eligible HCWS starting January 2022.
Ang One COVID-19 Allowance ang pinaka-inclusive at makatarungang benepisyo para sa lahat ng healthcare workers. Ang grant ng SRA, AHDP, at MAP ay hindi na magtutuloy sa pagpasok ng 2022 dahil sa kakulangan ng Legal na Batayan. Kaya naman, umpisa Enero 2022, OCA na ang ipamamahagi sa mga eligible HCWs.
The grant of OCA shall be based on the number of hours that the public and private HCWs and non-HCWs physically report for work in a month, as certified by the head of the health facility, or his/her authorized representative, reckoned starting January 1, 2022.
Also, it shall be based on risk classification to high, moderate or low risk of the eligible public and private HCWs and non-HCWs as guided by the DOH Administrative Order No. 2022-0001.
Ang grant ng OCA ay nakabatay sa bilang ng oras na nag-physical reporting ang mga public at private HCW at non-HCW sa loob ng isang buwan. Kinakailangan itong mapatunayan ng pinuno ng kanilang health facility na ito mula Enero 1, 2022.
Gayunding nakabatay ito sa risk classification na high, moderate, o low risk ng eligible public at private HCWs at non-HCWs batay sa DOH Administrative Order No. 2022-0001.
The rate of OCA per COVID-19 Risk Exposure Classification of HCWs and non-HCWs shall be as follows:
COVID-19 Risk Exposure Classification Rate
1. High PhP9,000.00
2. Moderate PhP6,000.00
