Formulario 481.1, Planilla de Crédito para personas de 65 años o más y Crédito Compensatorio para pensionados de bajos recursos, para el año contributivo 2019 y programa de asistencia a personas de 65 años o más de bajos recursos



WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that the Department's Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding $12 million in CARES Act Recovery Assistance grants to capitalize and administer Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) that will provide critical gap financing to small businesses and entrepreneurs in Georgia that have been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

"President Trump is working diligently every day to support our nation's economy following the impacts of COVID-19 through the CARES Act," said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. "These investments will provide small businesses across Georgia with the necessary capital to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic and, in turn, create a stronger and more resilient state economy for the future."



The California-based marketer of a supplement called Thrive, which consists mainly of Vitamin C and herbal extracts, is barred from continuing to make baseless claims that it can treat, prevent, or reduce the risk of COVID-19, under an administrative settlement with the Federal Trade Commission announced today.

The FTC proposed order also bars the marketer of Thrive, Marc Ching, from making similarly unsupported cancer treatment or prevention claims for products containing CBD. The case against Ching is the FTC's first against a marketer of a supposed COVID-19-related health product. In April 2020, the FTC announced that Ching agreed to a preliminary federal court order that imposed similar terms.

Chamber Releases Equality of Opportunity Agenda

The U.S. Chamber today released its initial Equality of Opportunity Agenda, calling for immediate, bold policy actions and private sector solutions to help close race-based opportunity gaps in four critical areas: education, employment, entrepreneurship, and criminal justice.

Unemployment claims remain stubbornly high despite the improving economy. The Department of Labor reports today that initial unemployment claims were more than 1.3 million for the week ending July 4. That is 99,000 less than the previous week.


How Businesses Are Addressing Consumer Risks During the Pandemic

COVID-19 has changed how people live, learn, work and provide for their daily needs, transformed how businesses operate and interact with customers, and revealed shortcomings in the digital ecosystem in the private and public sector. 


Chamber's Donohue Urges Administration to Rethink International Students Policy

Today, U.S. Chamber CEO Tom Donohue released a statement regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's latest regulations on international students:
"This policy could force tens of thousands of international students to leave the U.S. for reasons outside of their control and needlessly injects an immense amount of uncertainty into our nation's higher education system at a time when colleges and universities are grappling with significant logistical and financial challenges.

Peruvian "Solidarity Tax" Unlikely to Offset Deficit Spending

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Peru has found itself with high levels of government spending that has resulted in a significant deficit. In order to offset costs, the government is considering a temporary wealth tax that has been termed the "Solidarity Tax." However, while it is important that Peru find ways to offset its deficit spending, the Solidarity Tax may introduce more problems than it solves.



FDA prepares for resumption of domestic inspections with new risk assessment system

42 months in office: The current government
This issue of Think Strategically will focus on evaluating how Puerto Rico's economy has performed after 42 months, with former Gov. Ricardo Rosselló and now Gov. Wanda Vázquez in office, using financial and economic metrics. It is important to note that measuring a successful governorship takes much more than these metrics. However, they do allow us to gauge the overall direction of our economic well-being.
