Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, many people’s jobs have, or will, go away. Because of that California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an Executive Order this week to give local governments the ability to halt evictions and prevent power shut-offs. Along with that, the U.S. Small Business Administration will be offering low-interest federal disaster loans…. And workers can get assistance through the “rapid response” program, as well as unemployment insurance. People who are sick, or those quarantined because of their exposure to Covid-19 can file a disability insurance claim…..or use accrued sick leave. Those who need to care for a seriously ill family member who contracted Covid-19 can receive paid family leave for up to 6 weeks. People who contracted Covid-19 during the course of their job, may be able to receive Workers Compensation Benefits.
