Coronavirus outbreak: Nova Scotia announces two new emergency funds for workers and businesses
Description
April 2, 2020
Nova Scotia premier Stephen McNeil announced two provincial emergency funding programs for individuals and businesses affected by COVID-19 on Thursday.
The first is a $20 million dollar “worker emergency bridge fund” to help self-employed people and laid off workers who do not qualify for employment insurance (EI).
The fund gives one time $1,000 dollars to bridge the gap between the layoffs and the federal government emergency response benefit.
The second funding program is a $20 million dollar called “small business impact grant.”
Eligible small businesses will receive a grant of 15% of their gross revenues up to a maximum of 5,000 dollars.
