Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FFCRA?
Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), if you are a self-employed person including those who receive a 1099, and if you were not able to work due to reasons related to Coronavirus, you are eligible to receive Sick Leave and Family Leave credits. This is your chance to get paid for the days you were sick, quarantined or even effected by Corona. If a child’s school was closed or you cared for another person, you are also eligible for these relief funds.The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) is a groundbreaking legislation that provides much-needed relief to self-employed individuals and small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. By understanding the key provisions of the FFCRA and how they apply to your specific situation, the PBF will help you maximize your legally entitled share of this little known provision of federal law.

Testimonial
Meet Our Happy Clients
The PBF has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs to get the Covid Relief they deserve.
“Our industry was wrongly signaled out during Covid lockdowns, so we deserve our fair share of Covid Relief funds.”
“Our California Barbering school struggled during the Covid lockdowns to serve our students and keep our financial head above water. The PBF not only fought to get our safe school reopened and our students back on track to their licensed career, but they directed us to this federal tax credit that we had no idea was available. "

“I applied for FFCRA as a self-employed hairstylist and it was just accepted by the IRS last week. It’s totally legit!”
“If it wasn’t for the PBF, I would’ve believed what I had heard from my trusted financial advisers and others in our industry, i.e., that my salons didn’t qualify for this new ERC funding or would be so little as to not be worth the hassle.Thankfully, I decided to trust the PBF’s advice and went to their online portal."
We Are Your Voice
The Professional Beauty Federation has proudly helped over 10,000 beauty and barbering professionals and businesses receive tens-of-millions of PPP dollars. Together with our quarter-century record of effectively representing our industry, we bring our experience of financially lifting our industry to help you claim your legally entitled share of the final COVID relief funds remaining: the ERC and the FFCRA.
