Top 4 Resources to Understanding the CARE Act

Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz produced the most simple introduction to the bill that we could find. If you know nothing about the law, start here. It presents the broad strokes of who is eligible and what benefits they will receive. Link.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has created a very readable yet somewhat complex guide to the law. It is great for bringing forward the most relevant elements of the law for small businesses. It also defines much of the language which is more vague in the Senate’s guide document. Link.

The Senate Committee on Small Business has released the most comprehensive and detailed guide. Given that it is directly from the Senate it also uses the least amount of layman language. If you are not intimidated by that kind of complexity this is the best resource. Link.

We are a Kentucky business and many of our clients are Kentucky businesses. Every state has some kind of small business association. These organizations can not only tell you about federal relief but state relief efforts as well. They have staff and tools to help you navigate the crisis and emerge financially whole and prepared to continue doing business. Here is the link to the Kentucky SBDC Coronavirus guide for small businesses. If you are not based out of Kentucky simply search the name of your state and “small business association” or use the CBA’s local assistance tool to discover the resources available to you.
