Information on COVID-19:

• What is COVID-19?

• It is a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the cold; this means no one is immune. We have limited information on it right now, but early research suggests that it’s more contagious than the common cold - it can live on metal or plastic surfaces for days. This means that about half of the world’s population might get it this year. Most people are likely to survive (mortality rates are estimated to be between 1-3% for the general population), but it’s up to you to self-quarantine and socially isolate in order to protect those most likely to contract it.
  
  (3/18/2020) Younger Adults Comprise Big Portion of Coronavirus Hospitalizations in U.S. New CDC data showed that nearly 40% of patients sick enough to be hospitalized were aged 20-54. But the risk of dying was significantly higher in older people.

Why are we socially isolating? (Better term is: Please stay at home, get groceries once a week if you have to). Well, take a look at this interactive graph

• Harvard Coronavirus Resource Center: Questions and Answers
• Information on COVID-19 in other languages.
• Information on COVID-19 in Chinese
• Johns Hopkins University real-time dashboard of global coronavirus infection map
• U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• California Department of Public Health
• World Health Organization
  

• Do you think you have COVID-19?

• Symptoms:

• For confirmed COVID-19 infections, reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms or mild cold symptoms to people being severely sick, some recovering and others dying.
• Symptoms may include fever, cough and sore throat. In some patients, these symptoms can worsen into pneumonia, with chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Persons who are elderly, immunocompromised, or if have other comorbidities, such as heart disease, liver disease, are at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia and dying from the disease.
• Symptoms of the coronavirus may appear in as few as two days or up to 14 days after exposure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• Testing

• For families who are undocumented, COVID testing, screening and treatment is public charge exempt. Read more here.
• Testing is free for anyone in San Francisco. Talking Points.  SF City Testing information.
• Protecting Immigrant Families have put together an updated table on immigrant eligibility for public programs amidst COVID-19 and public charge implications given new policies

• From SFDPH: Interim guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in community living settings are for those renting rooms

Please consider other testing locations besides emergency rooms. ERs must continue to tend to critically ill patients and for every person that wants a test for peace of mind without symptoms, that staff member will be taken away from truly sick and injured patients.

Updated FAQ here from NBC News

Great FAQ on it here from the New York Times

How to Access Unemployment Insurance & Individual Cash Assistance During COVID-19 - Webinar with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Summary as transcribed from the NY Times FAQ:

Benefits to working people

• Increase standard weekly unemployment benefits by $600 for the next four months.

• Establish a new Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program that will provide workers who do not ordinarily qualify for unemployment insurance — such as freelancers, furloughed workers, and independent contractors — with a weekly payment equal to one-half of the state average unemployment benefit plus $600
• RE Self Employed and Independent Contractors

• Who this doesn’t cover: regarding unemployment benefits

• Workers who are able to work from home, and those receiving paid sick leave or paid family leave would not be covered. New entrants to the workforce who cannot find jobs would also be ineligible.
• This provision wasn’t intended to cover people who quit (or want to quit) because they fear that continuing to work puts them at risk of contracting coronavirus,

• Extend the duration of unemployment benefits by 13 weeks
  
• One time cash payment. Who is eligible?

• You MUST have filed your taxes with the IRS in 2018 or 2019. If not - file ASAP or risk delays or ineligibility. At least file the 2018 taxes!
• A social security number is required for eligibility

• Non-citizens with a valid Social Security number who live and work in the United States will be eligible for stimulus checks.
• That includes green card holders and most people on work visas such as H-1B and H-2A.
• Visitors and those who are in the country illegally will not be eligible for the program.

• Individuals who earn less than $75,000 a year will receive $1,200 in cash
• Couples who earn under $150,000 will receive $2,400

• Plus $500 for every child in their care. Child must be under the age of 17, not including those who are already 17.
• Other dependents are not eligible.

• And someone filing as head of household would get the full payment if they earn $112,500 or less.

• Individuals who made $99,000 or more and couples who made $198,000 or more would not receive a payment.

• How is this calculated? Use this useful Washington Post calculator here

• $1,200 minus $0.05 for every dollar over $75,000 that an individual made.
• $1,200 minus $0.05 for every dollar over $112,500 that a head of household made.
• $2,400 minus $0.05 for every dollar over $150,000 that couples who filed jointly made.

• If you owe child support, you will likely be unable to collect this check.
• The stimulus check does NOT need to be paid back in a future year.
  

Benefits to small businesses

• Small businesses will get loans that are forgivable, so long as they don’t fire workers.

• Businesses with fewer than 500 employees will be eligible for loans to help cover the cost of payroll, benefits, utilities, rent, mortgage payments, or other debts. If businesses maintain staff, then every dollar of credit they spend on those aforementioned expenses will be forgiven by the government.

Student Loans

• Until Sept. 30, there will be automatic payment suspensions for any student loan held by the federal government.

• If you’ve borrowed money from the federal government — a so-called direct loan — in the past 10 years, you’re definitely eligible.

• Garnishment will be suspended, so is the seizure of tax refunds, the reduction of any other federal benefit payments and other involuntary collection efforts.
• Will not affect eligibility for student loan forgiveness programs

Also includes:

• $15.5 billion for the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program;
• $8.8 billion for Child Nutrition Programs to help ensure students receive meals when school is not in session;
• $3.5 billion for Child Care and Development Block Grants, which provide child-care subsidies to low-income families and can be used to augment state and local systems;
• $750 million for Head Start early-education programs;
• $100 million in Project SERV grants to help clean and disinfect schools, and provide support for mental health services and distance learning;
• $69 million for schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Education; and
• $5 million for health departments to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfecting schools and day-care facilities.

Housing Resources

General provided here - look for more details by City, if available, on this page

• Low-Cost Mediation for disputes between tenants and landlords, or between residents

• April 17, 2020 (From SFBar.org)

• The Conflict Intervention Service provides mediation services and communication coaching at a low cost for disputes between tenants and landlords and for disputes between residents that threaten housing stability.
• The above services are free for “qualifying” San Francisco residents and landlords (the website is unclear about who qualifies, but it seems like affordable and supportive housing is covered). The Lower Polk Tenant Landlord Clinic helps San Francisco residents access mediation both from the service above as well as from the Hastings College of Law. They also provide webinars for tenants and landlords to keep them up-to-date on the law.
  

• Table Summarizing California Cities’ Policies

• April 18, 2020 (From Nolo)

• If you don't see your city listed below, you can see a table summarizing the policies for cities all over California at this page put together by nolo.com. It would be wise to do a web search and find a link that goes to the city's website to see the exact policies, as they vary and might expire. Note that not all cities use .gov domain names.  

• North Bay

• April 3, 2020 (From Curbed)

• Marin County: Marin County’s eviction protections are in place until May 31 and specify “no landlord shall evict a residential or commercial tenant or otherwise recover possession of a leasehold if the residential or commercial tenant” as long as the renter provides notice within 30 days of the rent being due. Renters will also need to provide documentation within one week of that notice. Once notified, the landlord may not serve an eviction notice to start the eviction process.
  

• San Francisco County

• March 27, 2020: Temporary moratorium on evictions

• Information for landlords and tenants here
• This has been updated and all evictions are halted except for reasons "due to violence, threats of violence, or health and safety issues"

• If you are experiencing an eviction, or about to, click here 
• Once the order deadline ends, tenants have 30 days to catch up on the suspended payments, with possible extensions up to six months. Note: You will still owe your landlord the full rent amount sooner or later.

• East Bay

• April 3, 2020 (From Curbed)

• Oakland: The Oakland City Council passed an even more extensive coronavirus-related eviction moratorium. Good through May 31, the city’s eviction ban states that “if you are unable to pay rent due to financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic” during this period, that hardship will work as an “absolute defense” in unlawful detainer suits—so if your landlord takes you to court, they’ll be out of luck. Further, while back rent will still be due, the city decrees those debts may never be used as grounds to remove a tenant from the unit—indefinitely. The moratorium requires that renters document the nature of their COVID-19-related hardship, but does not include a deadline. Landlords also cannot issue late fees for missed rent. The city hasn’t mandated any deadline for payment of back rent after the order ends, instead encouraging landlords and tenants to negotiate such steps themselves.
• Berkeley: Berkeley’s eviction ban specifies that “no landlord or other entity shall evict or attempt to evict an occupant” for nonpayment of rent or for default on mortgage if it results from loss of income due to the current health crisis. Berkeley, like San Francisco, has also barred no-fault evictions except in cases of health and safety violations. Landlords may not serve eviction notices or take any subsequent steps during this time. To qualify for these protections, tenants must notify their landlord in writing, and provide documentation to illustrate their financial hardship. Renters will still owe back rent, but landlords can’t charge late fees.
• Emeryville: Under the terms imposed by the city of Emeryville last week, “a landlord may not terminate the tenancy of a residential tenant [...] for failure to pay rent,” and...that’s all there is to it, at least in the text of the measure. Short, sweet, and to the point. The city does tell renters they still owe rent payments, but there are no rules about repayment schedules or prescribed actions to qualify for protection, as the statue defines an affected residential tenant as any household which “has been instructed to shelter-in-place in their home.” This also applies to small businesses, in this case defined as those with annual gross receipts of $7.5 million or less.
• Alameda (city): Alameda’s eviction block includes several useful benchmarks not included in other cities’ measures, including a standard of financial burden that specifies a renter qualifies for these protections if they have suffered a 20 percent or more reduction in monthly income, and includes “extraordinary childcare needs” arising from the emergency situation—such as the need to take time off of work to look after children whose schools have closed—as qualifying a hardship sufficient to qualify for eviction protection. The city of Alameda also specifically bars landlords from shutting off utilities over nonpayment. The order does not specify a repayment timetable, and it notes that COVID-19 hardship will be “a defense in any eviction action instituted under state law.” According to SF attorney Michael Astanehe, Alameda renters don’t even have to warn property owners that they will miss a payment or document the cause (though Astanehe recommends you do both).
• Alameda (county): Outside the jurisdictions of Berkeley, the city of Alameda, Emeryville, and Oakland, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors mandated that for 30 days (starting March 24), “no landlord or lender may evict a tenant, [...] require a resident to vacate their residence, or retaliate against a resident for nonpayment of their rent or mortgage.” In this case, the renter only needs to provide notice about a loss of income or medical hardship upon receiving an eviction notice. Although prudence dictates not stonewalling your landlord about late payments.
• Concord: Concord’s ban establishes “a temporary moratorium on evictions for failure to pay rent, utilities, late fees and penalties for residential and commercial tenants.” Renters have 90-days after the lifting of the moratorium to pay rent owed, and landlords can’t charge late fees. Renters must “provide landlord with written documentation demonstrating at least a 20 percent reduction of monthly gross pay as a result of a layoff or reduction in hours caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, or because of childcare needs or expenses arising from school closures or childcare closures” within three days of a missed payment, with documentation included.
  

• South Bay

• April 3, 2020 (Curbed)

• San Jose: San Jose’s eviction ban extends through April 17 and, similar to Alameda County, the tenant’s action begins after a notice is served. The South Bay city’s renter guidelines specify that “if your landlord serves you with a notice of termination, you should immediately notify the landlord of your intention to stop the eviction.” If your landlord moves ahead with an unlawful detainer suit, you can stop it by providing notice and evidence of job loss, wage loss, or medical expenses related to COVID-19. The city warns landlords that the moratorium applies to all residential properties, but does specify whether or not just-cause evictions are permissible.
• Santa Clara County: For those who live outside of San Jose in Santa Clara County, the county rules adopted last week extend through May 31. This measure can override city moratoriums if the city measures are “less stringent,” but allows for towns like San Jose to pass more robust renter protections. Under this ban, an “owner of residential real property or commercial real property shall not terminate a tenancy for failure to pay rent” if the tenant demonstrates that nonpayment is a direct result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and it prohibits no-fault evictions too. Any eviction notice served under these circumstances will be treated as “void” Renters may use the moratorium as a defense in unlawful detainer cases.
  

• (March 27, 2020, 3:00PM) California is enacting a temporary delay on eviction processes until May 31.

• Tenants must notify their landlords of their inability to pay rent up to seven days after their rent is due.
• **Evictions can still be filed and processed. Once June 1 arrives, evictions will proceed. So if someone doesn't pay rent for example the month of April, an eviction can still be submitted. It is just simply delayed until June based on this order.

• (March 25, 2020, 5:35PM): CA Homeowners to receive up to 90-Day Mortgage Payment Relief During COVID-19 Crisis

• No Negative Credit Impacts Resulting from Relief
• Moratorium on Initiating Foreclosure Sales or Evictions for at least 60 days
• Relief from Fees and Charges for at least 90 days
• How to apply for loan relief
• NOTE: Mortgage forbearance is not forgiveness. Please understand the seriousness of this. Use this as a last resort. Above all, contact your servicer and have a conversation with them. Get an understanding of what would happen if you choose this route. At the end of the day, your loan is under their portfolio, so they can do what they want with it. It's your job to make an educated decision that is best for your scenario. If you choose to move forward with their terms, make sure that you have it in writing in case anything were to happen. May impact your ability to refinance.
  

• California State of Emergency comes with housing protections

• Governor Newsom signed a bill that all evictions and foreclosures are to be halted until May.
• State of Emergency Declarations by Governor Newsom have triggered statewide anti-gouging laws which include important rent controls and eviction protections!
• It is now illegal for any landlord - located anywhere in California - to charge (or advertise) rents 10% or above what they were charging before February 10. This is for ALL California tenants in new or existing tenancies.
• Additionally, it is illegal for a landlord to evict tenants and then re-rent the vacated unit at a  higher rent than what the evicted tenant is paying.
• What can tenants do if a landlord increases their rent above 10% during a State of Emergency?

1. File a claim with the Attorney General of California's office. To learn more and file a claim, call here (800) 952-5225 or file online here.
2. Use this Tenants Together sample letter if you received a notice of increase above 10% after the February 10th Declaration of a State of Emergency.

  Express lanes on Bay Area freeways will be open to all during the health emergency, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments announced Friday. Express lane tolling on Bay Area roadways will be suspended until April 7 "unless congestion along the corridors warrants a return to tolling," a post reads. The changes were made due to decreased traffic and because carpooling is at odds with mandated social distancing precautions.
  Affected Express lanes include:
  - Interstate 580 in Alameda County
  - Interstate 680 in Contra Costa County
  - State Route 237 in Santa Clara County

• Allows for employees to reduce hours (10-60%) and still get paid full salary to avoid a layoff. The company needs to do this across the board and has to initiate it. The company would also have to agree to allow each person.
• It is paid out the company’s UI reserve account - same implication as Unemployment except they are still working for the company. No need to look for work.
• Ultimately, the business would pay it back as their reserve account ratio would be too low vs salary, and their UI rate would increase in order to fill the account up properly. So, the business would need to pay for it long term.

Taxes

• California - Tax extension:

• March 20, 2020 (7:29 AM)

• California residents won’t have to pay or file their state income taxes until July 15, the state Franchise Tax Board said.
• Read more at the Q&A from the IRS here on the tax filing extension and its impact on various things like retirement account funding.
• This applies to:

• 2019 Tax Returns
• 2019 Tax Return Payments
• 2020 1st and 2nd quarter estimated payments
• 2020 LLC taxes and fees
• 2020 Non-wage withholding payments

• Taxpayers do not need to claim any special treatment or call the FTB to qualify for the relief.
• RE: Payroll Taxes

• Employers may request up to a 60-day extension to file state payroll reports and/or deposit payroll taxes.  A written extension request must be received within 60 days of the date of the original due date.

• RE: Property taxes

• However, property owners in California must still make their property tax payments on April 10 because of mandates in state laws.
• One potential bright spot: Santa Clara County, along with Los Angeles County, will allow taxpayers to make partial payments on their property bills.

• RE: Small Businesses - local taxes

• Small businesses in San Francisco no longer need to pre-pay 1st quarter business taxes by April 30th. The payment will be deferred to February 2021 without interest or penalties. This relief applies to businesses with up to $10 million in gross receipts. 

• Employment Development Department:

• “Employers experiencing a hardship as a result of COVID-19 may request up to a 60-day extension of time from the EDD to file their state payroll reports and/or deposit state payroll taxes without penalty or interest. A written request for extension must be received within 60 days from the original delinquent date of the payment or return.

Small Businesses

• FYI - City of SF says they will not cite and that it is OK for businesses to board up their windows if closed during this time
  
• SBA’s Loans
  
• April 21, 2020 - Senate approves measure to replenish SBA program
  
• April 17, 2020 - The SBA is planning on offering low-interest federal disaster loans for eligible small businesses and non-profits reeling from the financial impact the coronavirus is causing.

• The program is being developed in real-time, but you can learn more about your eligibility and how to apply by calling their customer service number (1-800-659-2955) or emailing this address.

• Here are a few key details:

• Eligible small businesses can receive loans of up to $2 million.
• The loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that can’t be paid because of COVID-19.
• The Paycheck Protection Plan loan can be completely forgiven with no interest for 8 weeks if used for these costs.
• The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without other credit options, and 2.75% for non-profits.
• A long-term repayment plan of up to 30 years can help keep payments affordable.

• Get in touch with your local SBA office to see if they have any additional resources specifically designed for business owners in your area.

• Facebook Small Business Grant Program

• Who is eligible?

• Facebook is offering $100M in cash grants and ad credits for up to 30,000 eligible small businesses in over 30 countries where we operate. We’ll share more details as they become available.

• What can it be used for?

• Keep your workforce going strong
• Help with your rent costs
• Connect with more customers
• Cover operational costs

• LISC - Neighborhood Business Grant   **Due August 23, 2020**

• Who is eligible?

• Only small businesses located in the following locations are eligible to receive the Lowe's Neighborhood Business Grant: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Rhode Island, Richmond (VA), San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco-Bay Area.

• What can it be used for?

• Payables to include rent and utilities
• Meeting payroll (to include the applicant)
• Paying outstanding debt to vendors
• Other immediate operational costs
• The Grantee shall fully comply with all applicable federal, state, local (and any other governmental) laws, executive orders, rules, and regulations in connection with its use of grant funds.
  

• LISC - Verizon Small Business Recovery Fund

• Who is eligible?

• LISC will use the Verizon funding to provide grants of up to $10,000 to businesses facing immediate financial pressure because of COVID-19—especially entrepreneurs of color, women-owned businesses and other enterprises in historically underserved communities who don’t have access to flexible, affordable capital.

• What can it be used for?

• Paying rent and utilities
• Meeting payroll
• Paying outstanding debt to vendors
• Other immediate operational costs

• Eviction Protection Programs for Commercial Tenants

• New evictions delayed 90+ days

• Like residential evictions, commercial evictions are effectively delayed in California, as the California Judicial Council has directed that during the California state of emergency and for another 90 days afterwards, no summons are to be issued in eviction cases unless the eviction is necessary to protect public health and safety. Nothing in the order prevents new evictions from being filed, but the prospect of delay could improve a tenant’s negotiating position.
• The order also imposes a shorter delay on eviction proceedings that are already in progress.

• Varying municipal policies

• Many municipalities in the Bay Area have included some commercial tenants in their eviction protection programs. The website nolo.com has put together a table, but it would be wise to do a web search and find a link that goes to the city's website to see the exact policies, as they vary and may expire. Note that not all cities use .gov domain names.

• For San Francisco businesses, mediation services

• The Lower Polk Tenant Landlord Clinic helps small businesses throughout the city resolve disputes with their landlords, connecting them with mediation and communication coaching services provided by the Hastings College of the Law and the San Francisco Bar Association, as well as providing information about San Francisco’s eviction protection program.

San Francisco

• City’s FAQs, updated daily, listed here
  
• Parking Enforcement (updated here)
  Effective for the duration of the shelter-in-place order, the SFMTA will not ticket for mechanical street cleaning. Street cleaning tickets issued on March 17 will be waived. However, it is crucial that we still clean our streets to prevent trash buildup and local flooding. Please still move your car for street cleaning if you can.

Enforcement will also be temporarily suspended for the following:

• 72-hour parking limit and towing
• All time limit parking (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, etc.)
• Residential Permit Parking (RPP) permits
• Commuter shuttles
• Peak-hour towaway zones
• Street cleaning

The SFMTA will prioritize enforcing parking rules that impact health and safety:

• Fire hydrant zones
• Red and yellow zones; and "No Stopping" or "No Parking" zones
• White passenger loading zones, except in front of schools while they are out of session
• Blocked driveways, double parking and parking on sidewalks
• Parking in bike or transit lanes

Parking Meters: Given the significant shifts in parking demand, the city is implementing a temporary rate change for all parking meters citywide beginning on March 18 through the period of the Public Health Order. Time limits are also being waived on meters citywide.

All meters will be temporarily reduced to their base rates:

• $0.50/hour for vehicle parking
• $0.10/hour for motorcycle parking

We are maintaining a minimal fee to ensure there continues to be turnover around essential services, such as grocery stores, medical facilities and banks.

• RE: Parking, street cleaning, tickets:

• As of May 11, 2020, SFMTA will not ticket for street sweeping or meters. If you are able to, PLEASE move your cars for regular street sweeping. Due to limited ability to do street cleaning, this ticketing may be put back in place.
