Resources for All Businesses
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses in your state that are suffering substantial economic loss as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Eligibility for Economic Injury Disaster Loans is based on the financial impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The interest rate is 3.75 percent for small businesses. The interest rate for private non-profit organizations is 2.75 percent. SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years and are available to entities without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship.
Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339. For complete details on SBA, visit www.sba.gov.
SBA Customer Service Representatives will be available to answer questions about SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program and explain the application process at
1-800-659-2955.
Unemployment Insurance
- The U.S. Department of Labor’s guidance on unemployment insurance provides significant flexibility for states to amend their laws to provide UI benefits in multiple scenarios related to COVID-19. For example, federal law allows states to pay benefits where:
- An employer temporarily ceases operations due to COVID-19, preventing employees from coming to work;
- An individual is quarantined with the expectation of returning to work after the quarantine is over; and
- An individual leaves employment due to a risk of exposure or infection or to care for a family member. In addition, federal law does not require an employee to quit in order to receive benefits due to the impact of COVID-19.
- Extension of benefits:
- Laid-off workers are allowed to receive regular unemployment benefits for as long as 26 weeks in New York.
- After exhausting those benefits, individuals in states with rising unemployment can qualify for an additional 13 weeks of benefits through the Extended Benefits program. New York state has not yet qualified for these Extended Benefits, but will post the information onlineonce it is available.
- Eligible employees:Currently, the self-employed and independent contractors are not eligible for unemployment benefits. However, discussions are currently happening in Congress to temporarily expand benefits to these individuals.
- Resources:
Paid Sick and Family Leave
- Both the federal government and New York state are requiring certain employers to provide paid sick and family leave to their employees.
- The question was raised regarding how the federal tax credit will interact with the state requirements
- Answer: to the extent that the two requirements overlap, the federal tax credit will cover the costs imposed by the state requirements. However, where the state requirements go beyond the federal requirements (whether in time of leave of wage amount covered), the federal tax credit will not cover those expenses.
Essential Businesses
- Governor Cuomo announced an executive order implanting a policy that all non-essential businesses statewide must close in-office personnel functions effective at 8PM on Sunday, March 22.
- Guidance from New York state regarding “essential businesses” can be found here.
A Message from Paychex
To address the immediate need of employees affected by COVID-19 who are subject to mandatory or precautionary orders of quarantine or isolation, the new law provides the following:
Employers with 10 or fewer employees and a net income less than $1 million will provide their workers:
-Job protection for the duration of the quarantine order
-Guaranteed access to Paid Family Leave and disability benefits (short-term disability) for the period of quarantine including wage replacement for their salaries up to $150,000. Here’s how to apply for Paid Family Leave and disability benefits.
Employers with 11-99 employees and employers with 10 or fewer employees and a net income greater than $1 million will provide their workers:
- At least 5 days of paid sick leave
- Job protection for the duration of the quarantine order
- Guaranteed access to Paid Family Leave and disability benefits (short-term disability) for the period of quarantine including wage replacement for their salaries up to $150,000. Here’s how to apply for Paid Family Leave and disability benefits.
Employers with 100 or more employees, as well as all public employers (regardless of number of employees), will provide their workers:
- At least 14 days of paid sick leave
- Guaranteed job protection for the duration of the quarantine order
The provisions of the quarantine legislation took effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature, ensuring that New York workers are able to take advantage of these benefits now.
Additional Notes:
- If you are quarantined but are working from home you do not qualify for these benefits.
- You may be eligible for additional leave under NYS Paid Family Leave and disability benefits. Please call the hotline for more info.
- If an employer is closed due to COVID-19 or a quarantine order, employees may immediately apply for Unemployment Insurance.

This list resides on the Wine Trail’s Google Drive. Each winery member and their staff team has access to that page, which includes a slew of resources. We launched this long before Covid19 became a thing, so that wineries could access resources (such as meeting calendars, event-based information (like historic attendance, etc.), membership benefits, and so on). Google Drive is a great way to share information with your membership that you don’t necessarily want the public to see. If you want assistance on setting something similar up for your organization, feel free to reach out to me. I’m happy to help!
Important updates related to our upcoming events:
- Spring Wine and Cheese (scheduled for April 17-19, 2020) has been postponed to May 15-17, 2020. Ticket sales are on pause until May 1, 2020, when we hope to be able to make a more informed decision based upon the current state of affairs at that time as well as any government mandate that may be in place.
- Flights and Bites (scheduled for May 2, 2020) will be tentatively postponed to a later date altogether. That is to be determined at the next Special Events Committee meeting on April 3. We’ll share that with you as soon as we have something solid in place.
- No decisions will be issued related to Smokin’ Summer Kickoff until we are closer to the event. Hopefully we’ll be able to make a decision after May 1, 2020.
- We will extend Polar Passports and Wine Weekday Passports through the end of the year – 12/31/2020.
