President's Message
Team, sponsors and partners, 
 
As we come into another month of COVID -19, I would like to focus on the positives that we can get from this.
 
We can sit around and get frustrated that we are not out and about, we can complain that we are not making as much money as we would like, we can also say how can GOD let something like this happen.
 
Or we can look at this opportunity to better ourselves, learn a new skill and as most Americans look at other ways to make ourselves better.
 
With that I want to thank all of my leadership team members for stepping up and not letting this situation hinder us from getting the job done.
 
This month is Mothers day and Memorial day and as I look back at the sacrifices that my Mom made for me and the heroes that have fought for us to have a better life.  It does what to you?
 
Some of us even have birthdays this month. If you do, please let us know we will give you a shout out in our Newsletter.
 
I know our leadership team and members will step up.
 
For example, we will be having our first virtual event with Karrie Klimas this month see this newsletter for more information. We will be having in June our first virtual networking event please save the date.
 
Look, life is going on and we must move forward.
 
When tough times come, tough people figure it out and make it happen.
 
With that said we still have a few leadership positions open and if you have skills, we can use you.
 
We will be contacting you vie e-mail, text or phone to make sure we have all your correct information.
 
This chapter has good people and we are going to make things happen.
 
In this newsletter we have the list of our leadership members to contact for more information.
 
You only get what you put in. If you spend your money why not invest some time learning more about investing in it .
 
If you don't know what you can do, call me and we can talk it through.
 
Once again, thank you for all you are doing and stay safe and work from home if you can.

FACT SHEET:  DELAY OF PAYMENT AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION

Start Date: March 01, 2020
End Date: through June 30, 2020
 
TAX CREDITS
This section of the bill was written to prevent workers from losing their jobs and small businesses from going out of business due to economic losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The plan provides cash-flow assistance through 100 percent federally-guaranteed loans to employers who maintain their payroll during this emergency. If employers maintain their payroll, the loans would be forgiven. This proposal would be retroactive to March 1, 2020, to help bring workers who may have already been laid off back onto payrolls.
 
Delay of payment of employer payroll taxes
Allows employers and self-employed individuals to defer payment of the employer share of the Social Security tax they otherwise are responsible for paying to the federal government with respect to their employees. The provision requires that the deferred employment tax be paid over the following two years, with half of the amount required to be paid by December 31, 2021, and the other half by December 31, 2022.
 
Employee retention credit for employers subject to closure due to COVID-19
Provides a refundable payroll tax credit for 50 percent of wages paid, up to $10,000, by employers to employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The credit is available to employers whose (1) operations were fully or partially suspended, due to a COVID-19- related shut-down order, or (2) gross receipts declined by more than 50 percent when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The credit is based on qualified wages paid to the employee. For employers with greater than 100 full-time employees, qualified wages are wages paid to employees when they are not providing services due to the COVID-19- related circumstances described above.
 
For more information on COVID-19-related paid leave or tax credits, contact:

FACT SHEET: SMALL BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM AND TAX CREDITS
 
Start Date: March 1, 2020
End Date: through June 30, 2020
 
SMALL BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM AND TAX CREDITS
This section of the bill was written to prevent workers from losing their jobs and small businesses from going out of business due to economic losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The plan provides cash-flow assistance through 100 percent federally-guaranteed loans to employers who maintain their payroll during this emergency. If employers maintain their payroll, the loans would be forgiven. This proposal would be retroactive to March 1, 2020, to help bring workers who may have already been laid off back onto payrolls.
 
Small Business Assistance
Small employers with 500 employees or fewer will be eligible to apply for the loans. Loans would be immediately available through existing Small Business Administration-certified lenders, including banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, and SBA would be required to streamline the process to bring additional lenders into the program.
 
The Secretary of Treasury would be authorized to expedite the addition of new lenders and make further enhancements to expedite delivery of capital to small employers.
 
The size of the loans would be tied to an applicant's average monthly payroll; mortgage, rent, and utility payments; and other debt obligations over the previous year. The maximum loan amount would be $10 million. 
Conditional upon business retaining their employees and payroll levels during the covered period (March 1, 2020, through June 30, 2020), the portion of the loan used to cover payroll and payments on pre-existing debt would be forgiven. Further, employers with tipped employees would receive forgiveness for additional wages paid to such employees during the covered time.
 
The bill would provide $300 billion to support these loans.
