Details of the program

​

​

Launched in March of 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was passed by Congress to provide employees and self-employed individuals paid sick leave or paid leave caring for dependents due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Consolidated Appropriations Act later extended the FFCRA timeframe.

Then in March 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) released additional paid leave time to employees and self-employed individuals that missed work due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

How it works

​

Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) & American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) recognizes the challenges self-employed individuals have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike traditional businesses that benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program, Employee Retention Credit, and other relief measures, self-employed individuals have had fewer opportunities for aid.

Under the FFCRA, CAA, and the ARP, eligible individuals are entitled to Paid Sick and Family Leave Credits for certain leave taken related to the COVID–19 pandemic. This includes but is not limited to if they were sick, caring for an individual, or recovering from any injury, disability, illness, or condition related to the vaccinations.

Self-employed individuals may claim these same credits on the Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
