GRANTS FOR SHUTTERED VENUE OPERATORS
Congress authorized the SBA to provide grants of up to 67.5% of 2019 gross revenue to certain venue and entertainment operators who showed at least a 25% drop in revenue in 2020 compared with 2019. Total grants can’t exceed $10 million per qualified venue. Qualified venue operators must have been fully operational at February 29, 2020 and must state they intend to remain in business.


DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS
The CARES Act allows for deferral of contributions to single-employer defined benefit pension plans. Any contribution required to be made in 2020 can be made as late as January 4, 2021 and still be considered to be paid on time. This
deferral is intended to help alleviate additional adverse impacts on business owners who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
