Families First Coronavirus Response Act

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), enacted in March 2020, provided critical support during the COVID-19 pandemic. It mandated certain employers to offer paid sick leave and family leave for employees affected by the virus, such as those needing to quarantine or care for a sick family member. The act also expanded food assistance and unemployment benefits, ensuring better access to resources for those in need. Overall, FFCRA aimed to mitigate the pandemic’s impact on families and workers by providing financial support and promoting public health.
