Federal law prohibits these charges from being imposed on the nurse aide. I am sure that you still qualify for reimbursement even though you switched employers, however it is not easy to determine which employer is responsible and for what percentage. The reimbursement is to be made on a pro rata basis for the period during which an individual is employed as a nurse aide.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has authority over reimbursement for nurse aide training and testing.
