The Economic Aid Act, included in the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations bill, changed the rules for the Employee Retention Credit. The previous limitation disallowing PPP loan recipients from claiming the Employee Retention Credit has been removed. This credit has the potential to return significant amounts to businesses impacted by COVID-19.
How much is the credit worth?
-
- Up to $10,000 per employee per year reimbursed at a rate of 50% – so up to $5,000 per employee
- Up to $10,000 per employee per quarter (for Q1 and Q2) reimbursed at a rate of 70% – so up to $14,000 per employee

It is important to note that the Employee Retention Credit cannot be claimed for the same wages that the PPP loan reimbursed (no double-dipping on the same exact payroll) but can be claimed for periods outside of those the PPP was used.
