CentralReach Adds Rain Instant Pay to Preferred Partnership Network

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., January 27, 2026 – CentralReach, a leading provider of Autism and IDD Care software for ABA, multidisciplinary, and special education, today announced a new partnership with Rain, a leading provider of earned wage access (EWA) solutions. With this, Rain officially enters the CentralReach Preferred Partner Network as a proven leader in employee payroll and financial wellness.

Rain works with health systems to enable employees to access earned wages after each shift, rather than waiting until payday. Rain users can withdraw up to 50% of their pay between paychecks, providing greater financial control and peace of mind for employees. This sought-after benefit enhances employee satisfaction, engagement, and retention, while positively impacting operational efficiency and financial performance for organizations.

Through this collaboration, CentralReach’s customers can provide employees with free access to Rain’s acclaimed EWA platform. With real-time access to wages as needed, employees can better manage unexpected expenses, avoid costly payday loans, and achieve greater financial stability. The combination of CentralReach’s industry-leading expertise and specialized solutions for autism and IDD care, along with Rain’s EWA solution, equips employers with a key competitive differentiator and enhances their ability to attract and retain talent, ultimately enabling providers to spend more time delivering quality care.

“Our partnership with CentralReach is an important step toward effectively addressing workforce challenges the healthcare industry continues to grapple with,” said VP of Sales and Partnerships at Rain, Shohan Rahman. “Today’s workforce increasingly expects their pay to reflect the on-demand world they’re accustomed to, where virtually everything is accessible at the push of a button. People don’t want to wait for things they feel they’ve already earned, and paychecks are no exception. By providing access to wages as they’re earned, EWA delivers exactly what employees are looking for: flexibility, control, and immediacy.”

“We’re proud to welcome Rain into our preferred partner network and provide even more value to our customers. Healthcare staffing shortages continue to plague the industry, particularly within specialty areas like autism and IDD care. Our collaboration with Rain represents the forward-thinking, concerted approach necessary to address these challenges head-on,” said Clark Convery, COO of CentralReach.
