UPDATE: With the funds Congress provided to replenish the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, an additional 18,470 loans have been approved for Kansas, totaling $815 million. This means more small businesses are able to keep their lights on and more Kansans are being kept on payroll. https://t.co/3gQ2uRjFjk — PolitiTweet.org

GOOD NEWS: @CMSGov is increasing its payments for telephone health visits to match payments similar to office and outpatient visits. These services are important for the health of many Americans, and I’m pleased CMS responded to our request to expand these payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Colmery devoted himself to our country and is deserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. My colleagues and I urge @realDonaldTrump to recognize this American hero. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Harry Colmery was a distinguished Kansan & WWI veteran. He authored the GI bill - legislation which has served to provide servicemembers with the benefits they deserve, strengthen families & communities, & bolster our nation’s ability to attract an all-volunteer military force. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Many Kansans living in rural areas of our state do not have broadband internet & must rely on audio-only telehealth consultations. Health care providers and their patients should not be disadvantaged because they do not have the broadband to support audio-visual services. — PolitiTweet.org

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram is working in Kansas is having a real impact on jobs and families. The @kscosmosphere’s PPP loan is allowing them to keep employees on payroll while the building is closed & provide an innovative virtual experience for families during #COVID19. https://t.co/0tPRHeIXVI — PolitiTweet.org

April marks the Month of the Military Child, & it’s important that our servicemembers' children receive care, especially during this pandemic. I sent a letter to @DHADirector urging him to make certain military families have access to behavioral health care through telehealth. — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @TeamCavuto on @FoxBusiness this afternoon to discuss @realDonaldTrump's order to designate meatpacking plants as critical infrastructure under the DPA and the importance of keeping our food supply chain healthy and running during #COVID19. https://t.co/o8i1Lq0pBS — PolitiTweet.org

.@FlyICT will be receiving an AIP grant from @USDOT to reconstruct the airport’s apron. These resources will not only provide vital improvements to the largest airport in our state, but the infrastructure spending will support jobs in the area. https://t.co/78ASR3SkZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Kansas Health Care Hero: Nurse practitioner April Dickey, a Salina resident, is volunteering at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx for three weeks.

Last week, @realDonaldTrump authorized KS to keep @KansasGuard on Title 32 federal orders. I worked closely w/ @DeptofDefense & @DHSgov to ensure troops mobilized for #COVID19 are properly supported & receive the benefits they deserve, such as access to health care & education. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Spoke w/ @RealDonaldTrump about the need to keep meatpacking plants open - especially in KS - and I applaud his leadership to act quickly & designate them as critical infrastructure. It is vital our meatpacking plants stay open & maintain a healthy workforce during #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I chatted with an honors government class at Goddard High School over a video conference call.

They are a bright group of students and will achieve great things. https://t.co/PP1YssdLJh — PolitiTweet.org

Publically owned hospitals - accounting for just under half of Kansas hospitals and many serving rural areas - were originally ineligible for #PPP. Read about how my advocacy changed that in the @KCStar⤵️ https://t.co/We3amlFeyW — PolitiTweet.org

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram is working in Kansas. @shan_hanes illustrates the importance of community banks to Kansas’ rural communities, processing loans that have real impacts on our friends & neighbors in Elkhart, Rolla, Arlington and Attica. https://t.co/8bh4KISDI0 — PolitiTweet.org

Many farms & ranches are often passed on through generations. Payment limits would severely restrict relief effectiveness for many family-owned farms and ranches across the nation, risking their survival. Read more about my work on this issue below ⤵️ https://t.co/2nYa0mddFC — PolitiTweet.org

To our friends and neighbors in Kansas and around the world who are celebrating #Ramadan, I wish you a peaceful month of reflection, prayer and celebration. https://t.co/wtm34ogqT1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

This pandemic has forced many hospitals to cut back on non-critical services leading to a dramatic loss of revenue. This fix is crucial to keeping hospitals open & making certain Kansans will still have access to medical care in their own communities when this crisis is over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Previously, for-profit and non-profit hospitals were eligible for PPP & this administrative fix allows publicly owned hospitals access to the same program. Many of the rural hospitals across Kansas are publicly owned and are breaking even on a good day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

WIN FOR KANSAS HOSPITALS: I worked w/ @USTreasury to get SBA to issue new guidance permitting publically owned hospitals to apply for & receive #PPP loans. This decision impacts 62 publically owned hospitals in KS - just under half of Kansas’ hospitals. https://t.co/CW4bxwPHZ6 — PolitiTweet.org
