Kelly Says Tax Credits will Continue to Flow into the Fall

Kankakee area congresswoman Robin Kelly announced today that the IRS will continue to provide tax credits to help local small businesses to cover the costs of providing paid sick and family leave for workers through September. Along with using the leave to care for themselves and family who are sick, workers can also use leave to get their COVID-19 vaccinations and take time off to recover from any temporary side effects from the shot. Research has shown that states where employees gained access to paid sick leave through this tax credit experienced a slow-down in the spread of COVID-19.
