The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), enacted on March 18, 2020, is intended to help the US combat the coronavirus pandemic by extending the refundable credit for businesses to self-employed individuals.

These credits are equivalent to the amount of qualified sick leave wages or qualified family leave wages the self-employed individual would be entitled to receive under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act or the Emergency Family and Medial Leave Expansion Act, two separate provisions of the FFCRA, if the individual were an employee of an employer.
