Ep. 309 • Free Relief Money You're Still Missing Out On Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Companies got a bunch of Covid relief money... but what about the independent and self-employed? They did too, and it's still out there!

Fred Jones, Head Counsel and Advocate for the Professional Beauty Federation joins this week to share information on the FFCRA. This little known federal program seeks to replace income that 1099, self-employed and independent salon, spa, and barbershop workers lost during the Covid years — as a result of lockdowns, worksite capacity limits, Covid illness or vaccine reactions, medical or self-imposed quarantines, children stuck at home doing virtual/remote learning, etc.

Listen in to see if you qualify and how much you could be getting!
