It could be an honest mistake. Give it a week; see where things stand. I am sure thus is frustrating but be patient and understanding. Presume good intentions and an honest mistake until you hear otherwise.

I know you worked for it. But be grateful you have a job RN and know that whiny associates get laid off first. Be calm and professionally persistent. This truly could have been a clerical error. Even if it wasn't, it's a terrible time to lateral.

I've been labeled as a whiny associate before for questioning my bonus/raise. I dont think I was whiny at all. But I think there is a perception that those questions, especially in times like these, are whiny.

Give them a week to respond, they say they were “looking into it”. If they don’t respond after a week, follow up politely. But don’t give up your bonus. Just be polite.
