@tropicalaviator @DeanZerbe @Forbes I am looking for the answer to this question as well. Will it happen?

@DeanZerbe @Forbes Dean - do you have any insight on Q4 ERTC reinstatement (HR6161) within a potential tax-extender bill?

My latest for @Forbes details problems with ERC processing, which offers a window into the need for the IRS to emphasize improved taxpayer services; faster processing and systems modernization. forbes.com/sites/deanzerb…

@RepCarolMiller will we ever see the ERTC reinstatement act brought up for a vote in the house? Small business owners like me feel like the rug got pulled out from underneath us!

@warrenbird How old is that article?

Key legislators may be eyeing a reinstatement of the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) — a pandemic relief program cut short last fall. Click here to read more: bit.ly/3vI6pGP

News: 40+ Dems are urging party leaders to add billions in restaurant/gym/concert $$ to the Covid aid package If it's not included, they wrote: “We would be hesitant to support such legislation" politico.com/minutes/congre…

As a reminder to @SBAgov, anyone who had #RRF funds rescinded, & everyone who never got funds, this is what happened in June, 2021 after being promised funds by 5/25/21. MAKE THIS RIGHT @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorWicker @RepDeanPhillips @SenateGOP @POTUS #replenishRRF!!

@SenateSmallBiz @SenatorCardin Thank you!! We desperately need this Replenishment and the Reinstatement of 2021 4Q ERTC. We were counting on these programs to be there for us. Please keep fighting for us. Thank you!

.@SenatorCardin: Washington cannot mistake our signs of recovery for proof that #SmallBiz have recovered from the pandemic. Millions of #SmallBiz, especially restaurants, bars & other hard-hit sectors, are being sandwiched between past due bills & increasing supply & labor costs.

This morning SBA announced that the deferment period on COVID EIDL loans issued in 2020, 2021, and 2022 will be extended to 30 months for all borrowers. sbc.senate.gov/public/index.c…

@SenatorCardin Thank you Senator Cardin! This would mean so much to us. Please see this through to the end. We also need 2021 4Q ERTC to be reinstated. Many of us planned for it to be there when making decisions.

We are missing our best opportunity to date to #ReplenishRRF. Restaurants and bars have been among the hardest-hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, including thousands that have closed for good.

@SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @SenatorLeahy @SenRickScott @JerryMoran @SenShelby, if you can't work together to #ReplenishRRF , you should be ashamed to leave hundreds of thousands of Americans shortly out of jobs. Restaurants worked through Covid, but our bills have come due.

@SenSchumer You lied. #ReplenishRRF

Absolutely terrible news that once again Congress will pass over 2/3rds of restaurants that were unfairly and unlawfully passed over for #replenishrrf! Time to contact your rep…I mean ATTORNEY! We must unite and file 177,000 lawsuits! rollcall.com/2022/03/07/omn…

Who needs a copy for their front door? @SenSchumer @SenatorCardin @SenatorWicker @SenatorSinema @SpeakerPelosi Not attaching #ReplenishRRF to omnibus prepare for main streets to be boarded up & Restaurants to file bankruptcy. Thanks for funding 1/3 & leaving the rest of us to die

@SenatorWicker please keep fighting for us! Government can’t save 1/3 and leave the rest behind. #FundTheRest #ReplenishRRF

@RepCarolMiller Thank you Carol!! Let's get this done :)

ICYMI: I met with #WV businesses to discuss how my new legislation, the ERTC Reinstatement Act, will help them rehire employees let go due to #COVID19. More: miller.house.gov/media/press-re…

@RepCarolMiller Thank you for this bill and for supporting #SmallBiz . Our businesses had planned 2021 based on this legislation and then the rug was pulled out. What is the most likely course of action for this bill to get voted into law?

NEW BILL: I introduced the Employee Retention Tax Credit Reinstatement Act to help #smallbiz replenish their workforce & get back on their feet. As we continue to emerge from #COVID19, we must remember small businesses in West Virginia & across the country still need support.

READ: A statement from NFIB's Courtney Titus Brooks in response to the introduction of the Employee Retention Tax Credit Reinstatement Act, federal legislation that would reinstate the #ERTC for the fourth quarter of this year. nfib.com/content/press-…

@POTUS Too bad your infrastructure bill killed the Employee Retention Credit included in the rescue act. Any chance you will rectify mistake?

@SenSchumer @SecretaryPete This bill cutoff a life line for small business with the elimination of the employee retention credit in 4q/21. We need your help to restore.
