Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“COVID-19 Stimulus Law”) Section 3610 — Seeking Relief When Contractor Employees Cannot Perform as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to cause disruptions across nearly all industrial sectors, including the government contracting industry. As contractors attempt to respond to challenges in providing support to government customers, meeting contract and staffing requirements, and adhering to contract terms and a constantly shifting landscape, Congress has provided an additional avenue of relief to certain contractors dealing with COVID-19 related impacts. On March 27, Congress passed the COVID-19 Stimulus Law. Section 3610 of the legislation provides assistance in connection with contractor employees that (1) cannot perform work on certain sites during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) cannot telework because their job duties cannot be performed remotely.

During this webinar, Crowell & Moring’s government contracts lawyers will discuss the new law and its implications for contractors seeking relief for COVID-19 related performance issues.
