OhioMHAS-certified CBHCs can request reimbursement for $3,000 as a hiring bonus to recently hired direct-care BH professionals returning to the workforce.

CBHCs must verify previous BH employment, and that employment could not have been more recent than the previous 30 days. Previous work had to have been in a direct-care role.
