Sunny, if you are an independent contractor who collects a 1099-MISC form you need to look into the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program). You can receive funds equivalent to 2.5 times your monthly wages plus some other things. You would need to apply through a bank that is a Small Business Administration lender. You can call them and they will help you navigate it. If you use the money you receive as intended all or part of it will be forgiven.

Self-Employment, 1099s, and the Paycheck Protection Program

If you're self-employed, you're still eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. Here's how it works.

Thanks, DiO.
I'm not an independent contractor. I don't get a paycheck or a 1099. I rent a booth, buy all my own supplies, keep my own books, etc.

I just read that a Publix employee at a store close to me has tested positive. It's not the Publix I use but it's probably the next closest one to me.

Oh, Dang

 

[Edward John]

Wouldn't that make me one of those out-of-staters who gets special privileges when coming into your state, though? Wouldn't want to have any double standards going on.

But you would be self isolating... Not coming and going, dropping your germs off and skedaddling out of Dodge.

I’m sure you’re a lovely person, but our viewpoints are so different on so many things, and the fact we’re both so opinionated, the thought of being cooped up together would be impossible. Unless we took primal screaming to a whole new level, that is.

I'd still speak to a bank anyway to see if there was some way to qualify for the PPP. Nothing ventured... nothing gained.

I'll check into it. I'm not a big fan of going into debt, but these are unique times.

We wouldn't last a day!

He'd probably run away as soon as he heard the wood chipper.

The good thing about the PPP is the fact that if it's used for payroll there is a good chance the debt will be forgiven and you won't have to pay back a dime.

 

[DiO'Bolic]

LOL. At least there are some things we agree upon.

 

[Sundrop]

I'll loan you a pointy stick. This will act as a skewer so that you can still practice social distancing while throwing him into the wood chipper. It's win-win when you think about it

I'm not sure they'd call a one person show "payroll".

LOL. She'd have to bring it with her. I do have three chainsaws, though. I'd have to shelter myself in the She Shed and build one of those peep holes to see if anybody is lurking around outside.

You called it a conspiracy theory.

I provided the historical information regarding the beginnings of the pandemic. How can information be nothing?

Dammit Dio!
I clicked that stupid file to read it and it downloaded into my tablet, and I can't find a way to delete the bloody thing!

Jaysus... Isn't anyone going to take my side?

Really? That's odd. I don't have any problem with the report, but I don't have a tablet.

Where would the fun be in that?

 

[DiO'Bolic]

Payroll, paycheck, wages, etc... It's all the same thing.

Can you see my trust level in the banking system?
I'll seriously look into it, though. Worst they can say is No.
