Employee Retention Credit Enhanced and Expanded for Further Economic Relief to Businesses

(Florence, SC – December 27, 2020) – On Sunday, December 27, 2020, the President signed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package into law that includes additional relief for businesses. Specifically, the new legislation amends, expands, and enhances the CARES Act Employee Retention Credit (ERC).

The ERC was previously unavailable as an option for relief to businesses that received Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans through the SBA. However, the new legislation explicitly provides a retroactive amendment to March 27,2020 and clarifies these businesses are eligible to receive the ERC—just not on wages paid with PPP loan funds. Other important changes to the ERC include: (1) a prospective credit increase from 50% of up to $10,000 of qualified wages annually to 70% $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter starting January 1, 2021; and (2) public universities and hospitals are now considered eligible employers.
