I know shit is kinda funky with employment for a lot of people right now, so I& #39;ll go ahead and share my knowledge for anyone who is worried, in need of assistance, or doesn& #39;t quite understand the situation concerning jobs, relief and unemployment: (1/?)

As far as the stimulus checks go, if you have filed a tax return in the past 2 years (2018/2019), you should be getting a check. If you were not able to file for taxes/did not file for taxes, @turbotax TurboTax has a tool to make sure you have stimulus registration (2/?)

If you are an employee who is unemployed, or furloughed; The CARES act is opening the doors to unemployment relief. To access this, check with the unemployment procedures for your state. Floridians, here you go ( http://shorturl.at/fKR26 )">https://shorturl.at/fKR26&quo... (3/?)

If you are a small business owner, you have a couple options-The government doesn& #39;t want you to fail. The SBA (Small Business Administration) has two forms of relief for you; The PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) and the EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan) (4/?)

The Paycheck Protection Program is something to ensure you can keep your employees well... employed. If you decide to keep your employees, the government will give you a (forgivable) grant, assuming you keep them in your employ for 8 weeks.

Paycheck Protection Program

An SBA loan that helps businesses keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

For add& #39;l costs of business, there is the EIDL (check 4/?). This is, at the very least, a $10k advance (up to $2M iirc) to help COGS/Daily Fixed Ops running. This is a 30 year loan with low interest to help float businesses through trying times. There are a couple (6/?)

requirements and caviats, but none that are terribly rigorous. The USGOV wants to get you money as easily as possible. The application can be found here ( http://shorturl.at/jtyHN )">https://shorturl.at/jtyHN&quo... (7/?)

For 1099 employees, hold tight. There should be more information concerning a relief package that outlines you specifically being released tomorrow (4/10). Uber drivers, Air BnB-ers, etc. do apply for the EIDL as far as I know, but it may benefit you to hold on until (8/?)

More information is released on the 10th. Quick Q/A& #39;s:

Can I apply for both the EIDL/PPP?

* From what I understand, it& #39;s a grey area. The gov& #39;t doesn& #39;t want you to double dip, but if you apply for the EIDL and the PPP, you CANNOT use money from both for payroll.

Q/A cont& #39;d:

Has anyone received their stimulus check yet?

As of yesterday, I do not think so.

Has anyone who applied for the PPP/EIDL received anything?

AFAIK, no. Banks partnered with the SBA are currently processing applications, but that is the most I& #39;ve heard. (10/?)

Q/A cont& #39;d:

If I applied for the EIDL using the old application form, do I have to resubmit an application?

I do not believe so. From my understanding, if you applied for the EIDL and received a confirmation number, then you& #39;re in the same boat as everyone else. (11/?)

Vystar has teamed together with the city of Jacksonville to release aid for small businesses. If you own a small business in Jacksonville, please refer to: http://shorturl.at/lHUY9 .">https://shorturl.at/lHUY9&quo... My knowledge on this is limited, so please educate yourselves. (12/?)

DISCLAIMER:

I do not work for the government. I do not work in finance. I work for a small business who is impacted by this occurrence, in a community likewise impacted. This research is what I& #39;ve found from reading through as many first hand sources I can find. (13/?)

Here& #39;s a list of as many first-hand sources of information I can find. Do me and everyone else a favor and do not rely on second/third/fourth-hand information. Do not be led by the blind.

I& #39;ll add to this and update as I see necessary.

Let me remind you that this is a critical time; maybe it isn& #39;t as critical for you, but it is for someone.

Knowledge is free, and in this instance, knowledge can help save a life or a family. Please help each other stay informed.

OH ALSO:

Reminder to everyone who is financing- remember that places are offering deferments on payments. House payments, car payments, credit card payments; contact your financial institution to see what they can do to help. Deferring for even 30 days is a big deal.
