EmailTemplate-Responsive <[link removed]> Good Friday Coronavirus
Update


Dear John??

Many of us are closing out week three or week four of telework and helping the
kids with distance learning today, and next week will bring more of the same.
This is a challenging time, there?s no way around that. The world that we live
in is changing and we are all trying to navigate our way through these
unchartered waters. It?s important to remember that we will get through this
together, and no one will be left behind. Today, I want to give you a few
updates on the Coronavirus, but I also want to share some amazing stories that
showcase the heart of this great state.

Small Business Administration: the SBA Paycheck Protection Program portal is
up and running now. There were issues with the portal last week, many of which
were solved over the weekend. If you are running into issues with the PPP
please do not hesitate to contact my office.

IRS: Economic impact payments will be sent out in the coming weeks, and those
who have filed tax returns using direct deposit will be the first to receive
the payment. One very important thing to note is that bad actors are going to
try and scam people during this time ? please read theIRS guidelines
<[link removed]>
to avoid scams.?

Churches: all churches are eligible for the forgivable loans under the SBA
Paycheck Protection Program. By checking the 501(c)(3) box in the top left
corner of the SBA Application form, churches and religious organizations will
eligible without prior recognition from the IRS.


Alabama Kindness

Every day throughout the Coronavirus pandemic there have been incredible acts
of kindness, especially here in Alabama. Since today is Good Friday, it?s only
fitting to highlight some good news.

Cullman based manufacturer HomTex has revamped their manufacturing efforts to
produce reusable and washable facemasks, expecting to make between
50,000-70,000 every week. You can read more about that storyhere

during this difficult time. Hopefully they bring a smile to your face like they
did for me, and remind you that loving your neighbor and caring for your
community are what makes Alabama such a special place to live.?

weather on Easter, so please stay weather aware. ? I hope you have a great
