Employer Tax Credits under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
Covered employers qualify for dollar-for-dollar reimbursement through tax credits for all qualifying wages paid under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Qualifying wages are those paid to an employee who takes leave under the Act for a qualifying reason, up to the appropriate per diem and aggregate payment caps. Applicable tax credits also extend to amounts paid or incurred to maintain health insurance coverage. For more information, please see the Department of the Treasury’s website.

We will update the guidance based on inquiries received.
CARES Act - COVID 19 Stimulus Bill
Federal lawmakers have passed a COVID-19 stimulus bill that will expand unemployment insurance benefits. Once DLR is provided with instructions from the federal government, we will make an announcement through a news release and on our website about benefit eligibility for independent contractors, the self-employed, and business owners who will soon be able to apply for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance.
