The Federal Delegation wants to hear from you.
Congress is not currently in session, it’s unlikely that the CARES Act “phase four” relief bill will be passed in the near-term future. Analysts from Goldman Sachs are predicting that the new bill won’t pass before May. With that in mind, it is a perfect time to share with the Kansas Federal Delegation the direct impact on your business operations and the unforeseen circumstances and situations that it has created. Please refer to the KANSAS FEDERAL DELEGATION button for contact information of all the Senators and Representatives in the State. Representative Roger Marshall serves the Big 1st District but we’ve included all representative districts as many of you have operations outside of the Big 1st District. |

BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Overview
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act temporarily expands eligibility for SBA economic injury disaster loans (EIDL) and provides an emergency advance of up to $10,000 to small businesses and private non-profits harmed by COVID-19 within 3 days of applying for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). To access the advance, you first apply for an EIDL and then request the advance. The advance does not need to be repaid under any circumstance, and may be used to keep employees on payroll, to pay for sick leave, meet increased production costs due to supply chain disruptions, or pay business obligations, including debts, rent, and mortgage payments.
Eligibility
In addition to the entities that are already eligible for SBA disaster loans (small businesses, private non-profits, and small agriculture cooperatives), eligibility is temporarily expanded to include:
Additionally, you must have been in business as of January 31, 2020. Expanded eligibility criteria and the emergency grants are only available between January 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020.
How to Apply
Can I apply for other SBA loan programs?
If you apply for an EIDL and the grant, you can still apply for a Paycheck Protection loan. However the amount forgiven under a Paycheck Protection loan will be decreased by the $10,000 grant.
PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU SIGNED UP PRIOR TO 3/29/2020 BY MAIL OR EMAIL, YOU WILL NEED TO RE-APPLY IF YOU WANT THE $10,000 ADVANCE. IF YOU SIGNED UP ONLINE ON OR AFTER 3/30/2020, YOU ARE GOOD!

UNEMPLOYMENT RESOURCES / EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
UNEMPLOYMENT RESOURCES / EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The Kansas Department of Labor recognizes the impact of COVID-19 on employers and workers alike. We are here to assist as we tackle this challenge together. We will continue to update this web page with available resources and contact information as it becomes available.
Employers:
Businesses may be exploring reducing production as a result of supply chain challenges related to COVID-19. The Shared Work Program is an excellent tool to use in lieu of a temporary, total layoff of employees. It allows for partial work week and partial unemployment benefits to employees. To participate, normal weekly work hours for employees must be reduced by 20% (no more than 40%) and apply to at least 10% of employees.
For more information, visit or email KDOL.SharedWork@ks.gov.
Employees:
Individual Filing for Unemployment Insurance Benefits.
If you are not working or working reduced hours due to COVID-19, you may be eligible for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. The UI program was established as a means to protect those who are involuntarily unemployed from the financial burdens and dangers that come with being unemployed. It is designed to be a short-term assistance program and may be able to help those whose employment has been adversely impacted by COVID-19.
Check out our UI and COVID-19 Fact Sheet and apply for benefits online at www.GetKansasBenefits.gov
Unemployment insurance benefits may be available to individuals who are involuntarily unemployed as a result of COVID-19. The amount of the benefit will vary based upon the amount of money that the individual has previously earned but will be between $122 and $488 per week. At this time, individuals can receive up to a maximum of 16 weeks of benefits.
