Individuals and small business owners: are you curious about the government programs available to help you during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic turbulence?
On May 1, 2020, Gail Linn, CFP® and Bill Fischer, CFP® from Fortis Lux Financial hosted an educational workshop where they discussed the benefits of the recently passed CARES act and answered your questions. The entire act encompasses a full 900 pages, but Gail and Bill cut to the chase by reviewing the most important issues that individuals and small business owners need to know.
