The Employee Retention Credit is part of the reconstituted Paycheck Protection Program and is designed to help businesses who have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic retain their employees.
Businesses who meet certain requirements may be eligible for the ERC, even if they obtained PPP funding in 2020.
It is important to note however, there are differences in the eligibility requirements and calculations for the ERC between the first PPP and the most recent version, which was signed into law late in 2020.
While eligibility between 2020 and 2021 has not dramatically changed, there are slight differences.
Eligible employers must meet the criteria of at least one of two tests: A government ordered test or a gross receipts test.
