What is the Sick and Family Leave Credit?

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) is the legislation that now allows independent contractors, sole proprietors, gig workers, and freelancers (those who received 1099s, not W2s, at the end of the year), to apply for the Sick and Family Leave Credit. This government issued credit (mistakenly called the SETC by some bad actors) is for independent contractors who meet the qualifications. Learn More Now

How do I know FIFO is the real deal?

We have developed a pipeline for onboarding both clients and facilitators. This involves assessing their eligibility, verifying their identities, identifying and rejecting any fraudulent applications, submitting the necessary documents along with the application, and handling all other required activities to guide a potential client from the initial survey to receiving the funds.
