released an easy to understand news release on the implementation of the paid leave for
workers and tax credits for employers. We thought this would be a valuable read as you

In a declaration request to President Trump released today, Governor DeSantis has requested
a Major Disaster Declaration for FEMA Individual Assistance Programs to include Disaster
Unemployment Assistance, Crisis Counseling, Community Disaster Loans and Disaster
Supplemental Nutrition Program. The declaration request indicated that over 6,600 Florida
businesses have completed the business disaster assistance survey, of which the businesses
reported laying off over 40,400 persons in addition to receiving over 130,000 calls to the
reemployment hotline over a four day period last week. Click here to view the request for
