FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent press release (click here), EZ-ERC highlighted common traits to look for to identify possible "ERC mills" that may aggressively be targeting business owners through email marketing, cold calling, and even TV and radio ad campaigns. Almost all cases of aggressive ERC eligibility positions pushed by ERC mills rely on at least one of two concepts, and often a combination of both: 

Key Points: 
  • The IRS had perhaps not yet contemplated that the COVID-19 pandemic, let alone the ERC, might endure three-quarters into 2021.
  • This Notice blessed the ERC community with, perhaps most importantly, guidance on the PPP-ERC overlap rules (e.g., the no double dipping rules).
  • The holy grail of achieving ERC eligibility by ERC mills has been to couple the Supplier-Based Partial Suspension with the OSHA Position.
  • EZ-ERC continues to urge employers to be wary of ERC mills promising full eligibility with little substantiation, particularly those using Supplier-Based Partial Suspension with the OSHA Position.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) and Mercy For Animals, along with a coalition of more than 50 animal welfare, public health, labor, environmental, faith-based and sustainable agriculture organizations, commend U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) for introducing the Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act. This federal legislation aims to better protect animals and the American people by holding the industrial operators of high-risk Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) accountable for the damage they cause when their systems fail.

Key Points: 
  • This federal legislation aims to better protect animals and the American people by holding the industrial operators of high-risk Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) accountable for the damage they cause when their systems fail.
  • Built by agribusinesses, the industrial livestock and poultry system is designed to maximize productionwhile externalizing risk and liabilityto ensure corporate profits even when the system fails," said Sen. Booker.
  • "We applaud Senator Booker for introducing the landmark Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act, which would provide new protections for farmed animals and hold corporations accountable for the true costs of factory farming."
  • Mercy For Animals is a leading international nonprofit working to end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system.
