C19 UPDATE: Confused About Coronavirus Relief for Small Businesses and Independent Contractors?
The federal government’s $2 trillion economic relief plan passed last month offers help for small businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Provisions include cash grants, low-interest loans and payments to offset payroll costs for businesses that retain workers or rehire those they have laid off, and enhancements to unemployment insurance and paid leave.
The New York Times has compiled explanations and answers to Frequently Asked Questions about these programs to help relieve some of the confusion and guide business owners, employees, and contractors seeking help.

Some highlights
Who is eligible for relief?
Businesses and nonprofit organizations with fewer than 500 workers. Independent contractors (1099) and freelancers also may be eligible.
What help is being offered?
There are two main federal aid programs, both managed by the Small Business Administration.
The Paycheck Protection Program is a forgivable loan intended to pay for eight weeks of a business’s payroll costs, so the company can retain workers or hire back those it has already laid off.
The Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program also offers low-interest loans to cover most business expenses. A portion of these loans may be forgiven.
