Winner가 딱 13명 또는 13개 business 인거에 비해 소개글도 써야하고 유튜브 비디오도 올려야 해서 로또 당첨 비슷한 확률 아닐까 싶습니다만, 관심있으신분들은 츄라이 해보셔도 좋으실것 같네요!   3월 9일 마감입니다. 

 

자영업자분들 화이팅하세요.

FAQ 는 여기서 확인 가능합니다.

 

 

 

What are the size of the awards? 
Grants will be made in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. LISC will use the funding to provide grants to businesses facing immediate financial pressure because of Covid-19.

 

 

 

What can the grant be used for?
Payables to include rent and utilities
Meeting payroll (to include the applicant)
Paying outstanding debt to vendors
Other immediate operational costs

 

 

 

Does anything need to be repaid?
No, these grants do not need to be repaid. However, all taxes associated with the acceptance and/or uses of cash awarded are the sole responsibility of the individual grantee. Cash awarded will be reported by LISC to the IRS as LISC deems necessary according to applicable law. It is further the policy of LISC that all LISC grantees be advised to consult with their own tax professionals and/or legal counsel to ascertain the tax impact of the cash awards. LISC will issue a Form 1099 for any grant of $600 or more. 

 

 

 

Will receiving a grant impact other federal assistance or unemployment insurance eligibility? 
A grant may affect your unemployment insurance claim if the grant is used to pay payroll expenses during the period you receive unemployment benefits. The amount of unemployment assistance is usually determined by recent earnings, and most likely, you will have to certify on a weekly basis to any income received the previous week as wages.  Please consult your state’s unemployment office for more information about unemployment insurance claims.
The awarding of a grant by LISC will not affect the ability of a business to apply for and receive an SBA PPP loan or other federal assistance available under the CARES Act. However, grantees are advised that the same business expenses cannot be funded by a LISC grant and federal funds. Recipients of PPP loans or other funding under the CARES Act must be prepared to demonstrate, upon request by the SBA or other government agency or as a component of an application for forgiveness of a PPP loan, that no other funding source was used to pay for the same costs as those paid for by the PPP loan or CARES Act funding.
