Arkansas authorized three types of bonuses for DSPs: recruitment, retention, and complex care bonuses. However, they set these bonuses and their maximum capped amount BEFORE they calculated the payout for each provider approved for ARPA funds.

According to that, we will only have resources for retention and recruitment bonuses and we will not have enough resources to pay out the maximum capped amounts set by the State.
