COVID-19 Business and Employee Resources

Resources are now available to employees and businesses that are impacted by COVID-19 precautions and regulations.  With the adoption of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) by the Federal Government, financial relief is available to employees who are no longer working and for businesses impacted by COVID-19 closures and business interruption.  The following provides information on the resources that are available.

For employees, the State of Idaho is managing programs to assist employees.  This includes unemployment benefits for workers that have been laid off, or can no longer work because of a quarantine or self-isolation order. For more information, please click here.

For businesses, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is managing the programs to assist businesses.  Please click here for information on a variety of resources such as:

These are challenging times, we encourage employees and businesses to take advantage of the programs available from the State of Idaho and SBA to help with the financial burdens caused by this crisis.
