Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), enacted in March 2020, aimed to provide support during the COVID-19 pandemic. It offered paid sick leave for employees who needed to quarantine or care for others affected by the virus. Additionally, it expanded family and medical leave, ensuring job protection for those taking time off for COVID-related reasons. The law also aimed to support public health efforts by providing funds for testing and medical care. Overall, FFCRA helped workers and families manage the challenges posed by the pandemic while maintaining financial and job security.
