CHAMBER CONTINUES ADVOCATING FOR
SMALL BIZ GRANTS
COVID-19 Economic Impact Grant Program
To mitigate the impact on small businesses, the County of El Dorado has allocated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for COVID-19 Economic Impact Grants.

This program will provide grants that small businesses can use as replacement for net income losses in 2020 and 2021.

We applaud the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors for supporting this grant program.

EDH CHAMBER ADVOCATES FOR EMPLOYERS
Paying Down U/I Fund Deficit
COVID-19 Shutdowns Led to a Historic UI Fund Debt: COVID-19 shutdowns meant more Californians than ever before claimed unemployment, causing CA’s UI Fund to fall nearly $20 billion into debt – surpassing the prior record by approximately $10 billion dollars.
 
UI Fund Debt Means Higher Per-Employee Taxes Starting in 2023: When the UI Fund is in debt, all employers in California pay increased payroll taxes on a per-employee basis, regardless of size or industry.
