| Folks,
These are uncertain times and as we watch the policy debates and keep up with the news, it can be hard to understand how recent legislation can impact you, your job, or your business. If your hours have been reduced, if you've been laid off, or if you're having to make these kind of decisions as an employer, you need to know what the recent swath of federal legislation does for you:

I hope this information helps you. As always, if you need help or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. In times like these, it is imperative that our community remains united and strong as we combat this crisis together. May those whose lives have been impacted by COVID-19 be lifted up by our well-wishes and comforted in our support; and may all of us continue to use our common-sense, be healthy and hygienic, and practice social distancing.
