ERC Facts & Figures

  • Can ERC help my immediate cashflow issues?

    OnCentive's trusted funding partner can fund your ERC so you can receive your refundable cash fund almost immediately instead of waiting months to receive it from the IRS.


  • I took PPP loans. Can I still qualify for ERC?

    PPP recipients may also qualify to receive ERC.


    When the CARES Act was first enacted, employers had to decide between taking the PPP or ERC. After the Consolidated Appropriations Acts was signed into law in December 2020, employers had the opportunity to take advantage of both PPP and ERC. Whether you have taken first and/or second rounds of PPP, your business may still qualify for ERC. In fact, many of OnCentive’s clients have done so. However, you cannot count wages paid by PPP towards ERC wage calculations. That is why it is important to work with an expert like OnCentive to back-out and calculate qualified wages correctly to keep you and your business in compliance.


  • Am I ineligible for ERC if I was not shut down by government order?

    Just because your business’ headquarters didn't close its doors due to a local order, doesn't mean it escaped the impact of national mandates.


    Oftentimes, businesses felt the impact of the pandemic through the effect mandates had on their supply chain. OnCentive will work with your business to pinpoint how supply shortages, and how shipping ports impacted your ability to operate. Their team of qualification experts will accurately document how supply chain issues impacted your business and calculate qualified wages based on those disruptions.

  • Can I qualify for ERC if my business remained profitable during the pandemic?

    You can qualify for ERC without a decline in gross receipts. 


    Qualifying a business based on business interruptions like shutdown orders, supply chain issues, and business suspensions are where your business needs the expertise OnCentive’s ERC experts. Their team conducts a full investigation into the impact the pandemic had on your business operations due to federal, state, or local government orders.

  • My business was deemed essential. Can I still qualify?

    Essential businesses can still qualify for the ERC. Even if you didn't experience a decline in gross receipts, but were impacted by government mandates or supply chain issues, you may still qualify.

  • Can my nonprofit qualify?

    Nonprofits, including churches and schools, may qualify for the ERC. As along as your nonprofit experienced a decline in gross receipts OR impacts from a government mandate, your nonprofit may be eligible.

  • Do I have to pay back my ERC funds?

    You do not have to pay back ERC. Unlike PPP loans, you do not have to allocate funds to certain expenses and can use the funds as the business's discretion.
