UPDATE: U.S. Families First Coronavirus Response Act

We at Willig, Williams & Davidson are working hard to keep you informed about the quickly changing legal landscape in light of the COVID-19 crisis. We’ve updated our blog with three posts regarding benefits that working people may be entitled to during this crisis.

First, check out our post on unemployment insurance benefits and the circumstances under which you or your members may be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Second, our post on health benefits during this pandemic covers what benefits group health plans are required to cover related to COVID-19 and what health benefits employees are entitled to in the event of a layoff due to COVID-19.

Finally, in case you missed our e-alert last week, we have posted our memo regarding the U.S. Families First Coronavirus Response Act, with a clarification regarding the use of paid sick leave to care for a minor child.

As always, we remain available to field your questions about these, and any other, topics during this crisis.
