Payroll-based journal (PBJ) data for Fiscal Year 2024 Quarter 4 (July – September) are due November 14. Nursing homes must submit all PBJ data for the quarter before this date for calculation in the Care Compare Five Star Quality Rating System. Data submitted after this date will not be accepted, regardless of the reason for late submission.

Providers should run the following reports prior to November 14 to identify and correct any errors:

• 1700 Employee Report
• 1702D Individual Daily Staffing Report
• 1702S Staffing Summary Report
• MDS Census Report

Providers who fail to submit PBJ data are automatically downgraded to a one-star in the Five Star Quality Rating System for staffing for that quarter and are assigned the lowest possible score for corresponding turnover measures. The lowest possible score remains in effect until the affected quarter times out.
