Don't Delay if Your Small Business Needs Reimbursement!

Massachusetts Emergency Leave Fund Nearly Exhausted

With the spike in COVID cases this past winter, it appears the $100 million emergency leave reimbursement fund created by the state will be ending on May 15th. The fund was designed to reimburse employers providing state-mandated paid emergency COVID leave. Employers may still seek reimbursement for leave costs taken between May 28, 2021 and March 15, 2022 but applications for reimbursement must be submitted by April 29, 2022.

 

Do not delay if you are seeking reimbursement from the fund for any employees that utilized emergency COVID leave.  For more information on reimbursement, click here
