Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID Data Tracker: Trends in COVID–19 Cases Over the last year, Native Americans have experienced more than one and a half times the rate of COVID–19 infections, more than triple the rate of hospitalizations, and more than double the death rate compared to White Americans.35 Low-income and minority communities also exhibit higher rates of pre-existing conditions that may contribute to an increased risk of COVID–19 mortality.36 In addition, individuals living in low- income communities may have had more limited ability to socially distance or to self-isolate when ill, resulting in faster spread of the virus, and were over-represented among essential workers, who faced greater risk of exposure.37 Social distancing measures in response to the pandemic may have also exacerbated pre-existing public health challenges. For example, for children living in homes with lead paint, spending substantially more time at home raises the risk of developing elevated blood lead levels, while screenings for elevated blood lead levels declined during the pandemic.38 The combination of these underlying social and health vulnerabilities may have contributed to more severe public health outcomes of the pandemic within these communities, resulting in an exacerbation of pre-existing disparities in health outcomes.39 and Deaths in the United States, by Social Vulnerability Index, xxxxx://xxxxx.xxx.xxx/covid- data-tracker/#pop-factors_totaldeaths (last visited May 8, 2021). 35 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Risk for COVID–19 Infection, Hospitalization, and Death By Race/Ethnicity, xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations- discovery/hospitalization-death-by-race- ethnicity.html (last visited Apr. 26, 2021). 36 See, e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Risk of Severe Illness or Death from COVID–19 (Dec. 10, 2020), xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/health-equity/ racial-ethnic-disparities/disparities-illness.html (last visited Apr. 26, 2021). 37 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx et al., Racial Disparities in Frontline Workers and Housing Crowding During COVID–19: Evidence from Geolocation Data (Sept. 22, 2020), NYU Xxxxx School of Business (forthcoming), available at xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx/ sol3/xxxxxx.xxx?abstract_id=3695249; Xxxxx XxXxxxxxx et al., Economic Vulnerability of Households with Essential Workers, JAMA 324(4):388–90 (2020), available at https:// xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/ 2767630. 38 See, x.x., Xxxxxx X.

Eligible uses listed under this section build and expand upon permissible expenditures under the CRF, while recognizing the differences between the ARPA and CARES Act, and recognizing that the response to the COVID–19 public health emergency has changed and will continue to change over time. To assess whether additional uses would be eligible under this category, recipients should identify an effect of COVID–19 on public health, including either or both of immediate effects or effects that may manifest over months or years, and assess how the use would respond to or address the identified need. The interim final rule identifies a non-exclusive list of uses that address the effects of the COVID–19 public health emergency, including:

Bumping The employee scheduled for layoff under Section D. may elect to either accept layoff or bump in accordance with the process outlined in this Section. An employee scheduled for layoff who fails or is unable, in accordance with Section D.3., to exercise the option to bump to the least senior position shall be laid off. Within seven calendar days of receipt of notification of layoff, the employee scheduled for layoff shall notify the Employer of his/her decision to either accept layoff or bump within his/her current class series, as listed below. Alternatively, an employee may bump into the least senior position in the layoff unit in a former class series at or below any level at which the employee had satisfactorily completed the required probationary period. This alternative shall not apply to employees who were demoted from the higher paying class for disciplinary reasons or who transferred from the higher paying classification in less than satisfactory employment status. An employee seeking to bump into another position must meet all requirements in accordance with Section D.3. As a result of bumping, an employee shall not earn more than the maximum rate of the lower classification bumped into or more than the rate previously earned in a higher classification from which the employee bumped. When an employee bumps downward, he/she shall be paid at that step in the lower level pay range which credits the service in the higher level range(s) to the step at which the employee was paid when promoted from a lower level.

The Employer shall identify the vacancies and least senior employees within the layoff unit equal to the number of positions being abolished within the layoff unit. These least senior employees shall be issued layoff notices. 2. If the layoff unit contains more than one work location, employees remaining in the layoff unit who are displaced from their original work location (due to the closure, reduction consolidation, etc.), will be placed in existing vacancies or the vacated positions identified in step 1 above. Placement into these positions shall be in seniority order based on preferences provided by the employees. 3. Employees remaining in the layoff unit may request an exchange transfer (one for one transfer) with any bargaining unit member in the same classification in accordance with Article 15 Part D §A.6., either within or outside the layoff unit. Exchange transfers shall not be unreasonably denied and will be processed with the rest of the layoff unit moves, if possible. In addition, during the bump process, exchange transfers occurring within this Article shall supersede all other closer to home and seniority based transfers or recalls, as no vacancy exists. Requests for exchange transfers shall be in writing by both employees requesting to exchange. 4. The parties may reach mutual agreement to modify the process to minimize impact on affected employees as necessary.
