Qualified Sick & Family Paid Leave Wage Credit

In order to help employees/individuals cope with the losses coming as a result of the pandemic, the government issued paid sick leave days that could be used for reasons related to COVID. To account for these missed days for self-employed individuals, the government started offering a credit for the amount of work days missed due to COVID complications, such as:

  • Being unable to work due to federal, state, or local shutdown orders
  • Needing to take care of family members with COVID, or
  • Being placed in quarantine as a result of COVID exposure.
For those who missed out on work due to any of these circumstances, this credit could offer muchneeded assistance.

The Qualified Sick & Family Paid Leave Wage Credits program was launched through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The total paid leave available is a result of two different government orders, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act*), and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, taking into consideration the time period between 4/1/2020 and 9/30/2021, which add up to a maximum of 130 days of paid leave.

To qualify, you must be a self-employed individual or sole proprietor who missed work in 2020 or 2021 due to any of the following::

“When I heard about the ERC program I reached out to my CPA. 30 minutes later he called and said I didn’t qualify. Out of curiosity, I had ERC Specialists see if I qualified. Turns out I received the ERC for 7 of my 9 employees. Highly recommended.”
