Regarding the health care worker bonus program.

Does anyone know what happens if you quit after both the vesting period and employer’s deadline to submit paperwork to the state closes?

Me (and a friend in different facility) want to quit our current jobs. Vesting period ended already and the employer deadline was 11/30 for the second vesting period.

If we give notice and the bonus hasn’t been paid before we leave will we still receive it? Or do we have to wait until vesting period 4 (April through September 2023) to maximize our bonus?
