Late last night, President Trump signed the newest COVID relief bill into law. The new law amends several federal relief laws, including the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”). Specifically, employers who voluntarily provide FFCRA benefits after the end of the year may receive tax credits for qualifying leave provided through March 31, 2021.
Additional information about the FFCRA amendments in the new law is available here. We will continue to monitor developments, including any relevant guidance that the Department of Labor may publish.
