From the Office of Assemblyman Kevin Kiley

Hi all,

I wanted to take a moment to share some resources that have come into our office recently that may be helpful to you and your staff as you collaborate with both business owners and workers about combating the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these resources may be duplicative – but, I hope the below is helpful to you! I know that I have listed a lot of information, but figured it was best to pass along more instead of less! Please see, below:

The Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, & the Economy has created a webpage to assist small businesses, entrepreneurs & workers in responding to COVID-19 challenges. Visit the webpage to access state & federal resources: https://bit.ly/2QoArtl

2.       Helpful resources for business owners:
a.       Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz)
b.       CalOSHA Guidance on Requirements to Protect Workers from Coronavirus
c.       California’s Labor & Workforce Development Agency, Resources for Employers and Workers
d.       National Small Business Association, Resources for Small Business on COVID-19
e.       Guidance for Businesses and Employers to Plan and Respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
3.       Helpful resources related to worker relief: (Please see the attached for a one page summary/ list of resources for workers.)
a.       If you’re unable to work due to having or being exposed to COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional), you can file a Disability Insurance claim.
b.      If you’re unable to work because you are caring for an ill or quarantined family member with COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional), you can file a Paid Family Leave claim.
c.       If your child’s school is closed, and you have to miss work to be there for them, you may be eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits.
d.      If your employer has reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you can file an Unemployment Insurance claim.
e.       Check out this chart at the bottom of the webpage for more information on benefits for workers impacted by COVID-19.
f.        Visit COVID-19 FAQs and learn more from the Labor & Workforce Development Agency.
