I co-own a small accounting and payroll firm and we helped a LOT of clients get covid-relief money from the U.S. government, which was SUPPOSED to go to paying employees and increasing their wages because of covid lockdowns, supply chain backlog increasing inflation, etc.

Very few did. What the owners of the businesses we helped did do was increase their own salary and wages.

It was disgusting. And I’m sure it happened all over the country.

Yipes- this is so egregiously Wrong!

ME had a very minor *loan* just in case bc ME could not work owing to need for surgery, then covid.
But the type ME had was Not included for "Loan-forgiveness" whereas those Huge $$$$$$$$$$ ones were forgiven for repayment.
ME did repay it bc paying interest was stupid for $ ME eventually did not need that $.
BUT why were there differences in the first place for WHO had to repay $ ?

Kayhryn... first I'm really sorry you had to deal with all that. It sounds like it must have been a really stressful time.

And you're right. It is wrong.
My biz partner is a really strong numbers guy. Like... savant level numbers guy. And even HE had a hard time reading through the constraints, stipulations and regulations.

It was a very complex issue with a lot of variables.
