Message to Our Community: Coronavirus

The whole world has been rocked by Covid-19. Completely shaken to its core. People are full of anxiety right now and trying their best to make it through each day. This is an unprecedented time that we all hope to soon forget. But, for now, let us appreciate that we are not alone—even if we must stay at least 6 feet apart!

We know many of you are now working from home, which is challenging even for the seasoned remote worker. It is tricky juggling work, home life, your children’s education, and countless distractions all day long. Now is a great time to join our Mentorship Program, so you can get or give support to another member of our community.

We know some of you are still expected to be in the office every day, regardless of social distancing. We understand you are in between a rock and a hard place. You may want to talk with your boss about reconsidering a work-from-home option.

We are aware that many of you have been laid off or fired from your jobs. Worst. Timing. Ever. Know that the Paralegals Connect community is here for you! Keep your eye on our Employment Board for the latest job opportunities.

​We have compiled a list of resources to answer some of your questions and help you through this time.

• Tax Day Extended to July 15
• Coronavirus Tax Relief and Economic Impact Payments
• Coronavirus Tax Relief for Businesses and Tax-Exempt Entities
• Coronavirus: Small Business Guidance & Loan Resources
• Unemployment Insurance Relief During COVID-19 Outbreak

Most importantly, please stay safe out there and continue taking every precaution to #flattenthecurve.
