COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus.
As of Monday, March 22, all West Virginians over the age of 16 are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with an emphasis on distribution to residents 65 and older, or those with pre-existing conditions.
West Virginians can register to receive the COVID-19 vaccine here:
For questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, please reach out to the COVID-19 vaccine info line at 1-833-734-0965.
On Friday, December 11, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for emergency usage. Within twenty-four hours, individual doses of the vaccine were headed to West Virginia. Operation Warp Speed has been a success, as this is the fastest a vaccine has been developed in human history.
On Friday, December 18, FDA authorized the emergency use of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, Making additional doses available to Americans.
Each state has put together their own plan to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine based on the unique needs of their state. Governor Justice, his medical cabinet, and the West Virginia National Guard have promised that vaccines will begin distribution in West Virginia within twenty-four hours after arrival. The vaccines first arrived to hubs in both Monongalia and Kanawha County, and then on to separate hubs in Greenbrier, Cabell, and Berkeley counties. On Monday, December 14, the first West Virginians received the COVID-19 vaccine at Thomas Health in South Charleston. Long-term care facility residents and nursing home residents are included in the first phase of vaccine distribution, and Major General Hoyer of the West Virginia National Guard expects all residents to be vaccinated within the next three weeks.
Governor Justice and his medical cabinet have divided West Virginia’s vaccine distribution plan into two phases. The first phase is broken down into four sections:
· Phase 1-A is going towards hospital staff, long-term care facility staff and resident, and pharmacy staff.
· Phase 1-B is community infrastructure and emergency response workers, public health officials, and first responders.
· Phase 1-C will be for other remaining healthcare workers (i.e. In-home care providers).
· Phase 1-D is for teachers, education staff, specific government officials, transportation and utility workers, and West Virginia residents over the age of 80.
Phase two of the COVID-19 vaccine will be distributed to the general public with an emphasis on the most at-risk population within the remaining West Virginians that are not vaccinated. Governor Justice is anticipating phase two to begin around March 10th, but no date is officially set. Phase two is broken down into three sections:
· Phase 2-A will be West Virginians 60+ years old, followed by West Virginians 50+ years old with preexisting conditions.
· Phase 2-B will be remaining healthcare and critical workers (Those in 1-C and 1-D that haven’t gotten vaccinated yet).
· Phase 2-C is the remaining general populace.
Overall vaccine distribution in West Virginia has been focus around the following four priorities, defined by Governor Justice and his cabinet:
· Reducing the rate of hospitalizations.
· Reducing the rate of deaths.
· Protecting our most vulnerable.
· Maintaining acute critical care services.
If you have any further questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, please feel free to reach out to either my office or Governor Justice’s office.
The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
What you can do:
Who is eligible for a recovery rebate?
All U.S. residents with adjusted gross income under $75,000 ($112,500 for head of household and $150,000 married), who are not the dependent of another taxpayer and have a work-eligible Social Security Number, are eligible for the full $1,200 ($2,400 married) rebate. They are also eligible for an additional $500 per child. A typical family of four is eligible for a $3,400 recovery rebate.
What about taxpayers with adjusted gross income over $75,000 ($112,500 for head of household and $150,000 married)? Are they eligible to receive any rebate?
The rebate amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 that a taxpayer’s income exceeds the phase-out threshold. The amount is completely phased-out for single filers with incomes exceeding $99,000, $146,500 for head of household filers with one child, and $198,000 for joint filers with no children. For a typical family of four, the amount is completely phased out for those with adjusted gross incomes exceeding $218,000.
What if my income was above the threshold in 2019, but I’ve lost my job due to the coronavirus? Can I still get a rebate check?
If your income in 2019 was in the phase-out range, you would still receive a partial rebate based on your 2019 tax return. However, the rebate is actually an advance on a tax credit that you may claim on your 2020 tax return. If your income is lower in 2020 than in 2019, any additional credit you are eligible for will be refunded or reduce your tax liability when you file your 2020 tax return next year.
Is the rebate taxable or will I have to pay back any amount if the rebate based on my 2019 return is larger than what it would be if based on my 2020 tax year return?
No, the rebate is treated like other refundable tax credits, such as the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, and not considered income. Moreover, if the credit amount you qualify based on 2020 income is less than what you qualify for based on your 2019 tax return, it does not have to be paid back.
Who qualifies as a child for purposes of the rebate?
Any child who is a qualifying child for the purposes of the Child Tax Credit is also a qualifying child for the purposes of the recovery rebate. In general, a child is any dependent of a taxpayer under the age of 17.
Do dependents, other than children under 17, qualify a taxpayer for an additional $500 per dependent?
No, the additional $500 per child is limited to children under 17.
Are individuals with little to no income or those on means-tested federal benefits, such as SSI, eligible for a recovery rebate?
Yes, there is no qualifying income requirement. Even individuals with $0 of income are eligible for a rebate so long as they are not the dependent of another taxpayer and have a work-eligible SSN.
Are seniors whose only income is from Social Security or a veteran whose only income is a veterans’ disability payment eligible?
Yes, as long as they are not the dependent of another taxpayer. The bill also provides IRS with additional tools to locate and provide rebates to low-income seniors who normally do not file a tax return by allowing them to base a rebate on Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement or Form RRB-1099, which is the equivalent of the Social Security statement for Railroad Employees. However, seniors are still encouraged to file their 2019 tax return to ensure they receive their recovery rebate as quickly as possible.
Are college students eligible for a recovery rebate?
Only if they are not considered a dependent of their parents. Generally, a full-time college student under the age of 24 is considered a dependent if their parent(s) provide more than half of their support.
I am eligible for a rebate, what do I have to do to receive it?
For the vast majority of Americans, no action on their part will be required to receive a rebate check since the IRS will use a taxpayer’s 2019 tax return if filed or their 2018 return if they haven’t filed their 2019 return. This includes many individuals with very low income who file a tax return despite not owing any tax in order to take advantage of the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.
What should I do if I did not file a tax return for 2019 or 2018?
The best way to ensure you receive a recovery rebate is to file a 2019 tax return if you have not already done so. This could be accomplished for free online from home using the IRS Free file program (https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free). The bill also instructs the IRS to engage in a public campaign to alert all individuals of their eligibility for the rebate and how to receive it if they have not filed either a 2019 or 2018 tax return.
If I have a past due debt to a federal or state agency, or owe back taxes, will my rebate be reduced?
No, the bill turns off nearly all administrative offsets that ordinarily may reduce tax refunds for individuals who have past tax debts, or who are behind on other payments to federal or state governments, including student loan payments. The only administrative offset that will be enforced applies to those who have past due child support payments that the states have reported to the Treasury Department.

In order to help individuals who are eligible for financial relief through the CARES Act, but are not required to file a tax return, have not filed tax returns for 2018 or 2019, and are not on Social Security retirement or Social Security disability (SSDI), the IRS has launched an online portal. This webpage is available here.
Please remember that those who are on Social Security Income (SSI), or who have filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019 do not need to use the portal or take additional steps to receive stimulus checks
Where can I apply for the Paycheck Protection Program?
You can apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) at any lending institution that is approved to participate in the program through the existing U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) lending program and additional lenders approved by the Department of Treasury. This could be the bank you already use, or a nearby bank. There are thousands of banks that already participate in the SBA’s lending programs, including numerous community banks. You do not have to visit any government institution to apply for the program. You can call your bank or find SBA-approved lenders in your area through SBA’s online Lender Match tool. You can call your local Small Business Development Center or Women’s Business Center and they will provide free assistance and guide you to lenders.
Application Form is Available Here
Who is eligible for the loan?
You are eligible for a loan if you are a small business that employs 500 employees or fewer, or if your business is in an industry that has an employee-based size standard through SBA that is higher than 500 employees. In addition, if you are a restaurant, hotel, or a business that falls within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 72, “Accommodation and Food Services,” and each of your locations has 500 employees or fewer, you are eligible. Tribal businesses, 501(c)(19) veteran organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits, including religious organizations, will be eligible for the program. Nonprofit organizations are subject to SBA’s affiliation standards. Independently owned franchises with under 500 employees, who are approved by SBA, are also eligible. Eligible franchises can be found through SBA’s Franchise Directory.
I am an independent contractor or gig economy worker, am I eligible?
Yes. Sole proprietors, independent contractors, gig economy workers, and self-employed individuals are all eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program.
What is the maximum amount I can borrow?
The amount any small business is eligible to borrow is 250 percent of their average monthly payroll expenses, up to a total of $10 million. This amount is intended to cover 8 weeks of payroll expenses and any additional amounts for making payments towards debt obligations. This 8 week period may be applied to any time frame between February 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Seasonal business expenses will be measured using a 12-week period beginning February 15, 2019, or March 1, 2019, whichever the seasonal employer chooses.
How can I use the money such that the loan will be forgiven?
The amount of principal that may be forgiven is equal to the sum of expenses for payroll, and existing interest payments on mortgages, rent payments, leases, and utility service agreements. Payroll costs include employee salaries (up to an annual rate of pay of $100,000), hourly wages and cash tips, paid sick or medical leave, and group health insurance premiums.
When is the loan forgiven?
The loan is forgiven at the end of the 8-week period after you take out the loan. Borrowers will work with lenders to verify covered expenses and the proper amount of forgiveness.
What is the covered period of the loan?
The covered period during which expenses can be forgiven extends from February 15, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Borrowers can choose which 8 weeks they want to count towards the covered period, which can start as early as February 15, 2020.
How much of my loan will be forgiven?
The purpose of the Paycheck Protection Program is to help you retain your employees, at their current base pay. If you keep all of your employees, the entirety of the loan will be forgiven. If you still lay off employees, the forgiveness will be reduced by the percent decrease in the number of employees. If your total payroll expenses on workers making less than $100,000 annually decreases by more than 25 percent, loan forgiveness will be reduced by the same amount. If you have already laid off some employees, you can still be forgiven for the full amount of your payroll cost if you rehire your employees by June 30, 2020.
Am I responsible for interest on the forgiven loan amount?
No, if the full principal of the PPP loan is forgiven, the borrower is not responsible for the interest accrued in the 8-week covered period. The remainder of the loan that is not forgiven will operate according to the loan terms agreed upon by you and the lender.
What are the interest rate and terms for the loan amount that is not forgiven?
The terms of the loan not forgiven may differ on a case-by-case basis. However, the maximum terms of the loan feature a 10-year term with interest capped at 4 percent and a 100 percent loan guarantee by the SBA. You will not have to pay any fees on the loan, and collateral requirements and personal guarantees are waived. Loan payments will be deferred for at least six months and up to one year starting at the origination of the loan.
When is the application deadline for the Paycheck Protection Program?
Applicants are eligible to apply for the PPP loan until June 30th, 2020.
I took out a bridge loan through my state, am I eligible to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program?
Yes, you can take out a state bridge loan and are still be eligible for the PPP loan.
If I have applied for, or received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) related to COVID19 before the Paycheck Protection Program became available, will I be able to refinance into a PPP loan?
Yes. If you received an EIDL loan related to COVID-19 between January 31, 2020 and the date at which the PPP becomes available, you would be able to refinance the EIDL into the PPP for loan forgiveness purposes. However, you may not take out an EIDL and a PPP for the same purposes. Remaining portions of the EIDL, for purposes other than those laid out in loan forgiveness terms for a PPP loan, would remain a loan. If you took advantage of an emergency EIDL grant award of up to $10,000, that amount would be subtracted from the amount forgiven under PPP.
During this difficult time, it is imperative that our small businesses in West Virginia receive the economic relief they need to survive. West Virginia has officially received its Disaster Declaration through the Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program. Small Businesses in West Virginia will be able to apply by filing the available application, additionally including their most recent federal tax forms.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, Senator Capito has done her best to act swiftly and bring the aid our hospitals, small businesses, health care professionals, and workforce needs as soon as possible.
On March 25, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) passed the full Senate will my support. Here are some ways this legislation will help better our response efforts to COVID-19:
On Wednesday, March 18, President Trump signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act after it passed out of both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. I fully support this legislation. Almost immediately after this legislation was signed into law, we saw critical relief come to West Virginia and other impacted areas across the country. Here are some other highlights of this bill:
On Friday, March 6, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act was signed into law. This was the first stimulus passed by Congress to help combat the spread of COVID-19. I voted in favor of this legislation along side 98 of my Senate colleagues. Soon after this bill became law, the West Virginia Department of Heath and Human received $5.5 million in aid to help combat the outbreak. Here are some other provisions included in the bill:
On April 24, President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act to help further relief efforts in the United States against COVID-19. This legislation responds to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing additional funding for small business loans, healthcare providers, and COVID-19 testing.
· This legislation includes an additional $310 billion to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP helped hundreds of small businesses in West Virginia and provided necessary economic support.
· The Emergency Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program received $10 billion to support small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
· Agricultural businesses with less than 500 employees are made eligible for EIDL grants and loans.
· Provides $75 billion to cover costs of health care related expenses and lost revenue of health care providers attributed to the coronavirus outbreak.
Provides $25 billion to help research, develop, manufacture, administer, and expand testing capacity.
On June 5, President Trump signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020. This legislation adds to relief efforts in the United States by giving small businesses more flexibility in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.
· Paycheck Protection loans with a remaining balance after forgiveness will have a minimum maturity of five years.
· Extended eligibility for forgiveness for loan recipients.
· Allows businesses receiving loans to use up to 40% of payment on non-payroll related expenses.
· Gives businesses an extended period to rehire employees or eliminate a reduction in employment that would impact the amount of paycheck protection loans they’ve received.
· Allows businesses that receive PPP loans to defer payments until they receive compensation for the forgivable amounts.
o Loan recipients that do not apply for forgiveness will have 10 months from the expiration of the program to begin making payments.
o Paycheck protection loan recipients are eligible to defer payroll tax payments.
Senator Capito continues to be focused on this issue, particularly in ensuring the appropriate agencies have the funding they need to mitigate the spread of the virus, test those feeling ill, and treat those infected. As chairman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Capito has made a point to ask the agencies she funds if they are prepared and ready to combat the coronavirus.
Below are more details on Senator Capito’s efforts:
Senator Capito has been working with the Trump administration to drive resources to West Virginia that residents need to be prepared and protected. For example, Senator Capito has worked with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to receive funding for COVID-19 testing, the Department of Education (ED) to secure support funding for college students and West Virginia K-12 schools, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to strengthen public housing services, the Department of Justice (DoJ) to support our law enforcement community, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for emergency relief. Senator Capito continues to advocate on behalf of West Virginians as the federal government responds to COVID-19, and prioritizes delivering the resources our state needs to meet the challenges of the pandemic.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Senator Capito has been influential in crafting several pieces of legislation that have been introduced on the Senate floor:
· Senator Capito is a co-sponsor of the Safeguarding America’s First Responders Act (SAFR), legislation that clarifies the certification requirements for survivor benefits under the Public Safety Officers Benefits Program to account for the unique challenges presented by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This legislation passed the Senate on May 14, 2020.
· Senator Capito was key in the introduction of bipartisan legislation that helps relieve the revenue shortfalls of individual states. The legislation, known as the Coronavirus Relief Fund Flexibility Act, allows the federal relief funds provided to state and local governments in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to be used to replace revenue shortfalls resulting from the pandemic. The legislation would apply retroactively to the enactment of the CARES Act.
· Additionally, Senator Capito and colleagues in both chambers of Congress, sent a bipartisan letter calling on the administration to provide additional services to the brave members of the National Guard who have boldly stepped up to the front lines during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This letter urged President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Secretary Mark Esper, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Peter Gaynor to help provide improved status, leave, healthcare, and reimbursement benefits to National Guard service members that are providing invaluable support services in response to COVID-19.
As the COVID-19 pandemic forces West Virginians to social distance and comply with “stay at home” and “safer at home” orders, Senator Capito has been an active advocate for increased telehealth services. Telehealth allows West Virginians to receive top of the line medical care from healthcare professionals across West Virginia. Additionally, telehealth allows our healthcare providers to be accessible to West Virginians regardless of barriers set by logistics or medical conditions of the patient. Recently, with Senator Capito’s support, both Wirt County Health Services and Lincoln County Primary Care were approved for funding through the FCC for increased support of telehealth initiatives. Adding to the growing list of telehealth providers in West Virginia. Senator Capito has worked with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to break down the barriers of bureaucracy to make telehealth services affordable to West Virginians.
Senator Capito has also been vocal in regards to the lack of reliable, affordable broadband in West Virginia, and expressed her concern during a recent Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Technology hearing.
Recently, Senator Capito detailed several examples about West Virginians who have stepped up during this difficult time as we battle the COVID-19 pandemic. These stories inspire Senator Capito and show the kind and determined nature of people across our great state. If there is some you know in your community who has gone above and beyond during this time, Senator Capito is asking constituents to submit these stories on her website here.

As we face the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential that we work together and strengthen our communities. However, there are bad actors that are using this health crisis to take advantage of unsuspecting residents, especially our senior citizens. That is why I’ve been taking a number of steps to make sure constituents are aware of these threats and protected against them moving forward. One way I’ve worked to highlight this issue is by sending a letter to the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to help protect West Virginians from these attacks. As more and more information about COVID-19 is discovered every day, we must make sure that this information is accurate and that West Virginians are prepared.
More information on Senator Capito’s letter to FTC Chairman Simons can be found HERE:
Below are some helpful tips from the Federal Trade Commission on how to avoid coronavirus scams.
What types of scams are being perpetrated?
[Recordings courtesy of Nomorobo.]
What are we doing about this?
The FTC and FDA have jointly issued warning letters to seven sellers of unapproved and misbranded products, claiming they can treat or prevent the coronavirus. The companies’ products include teas, essential oils, and colloidal silver.
The FTC says the companies have no evidence to back up their claims — as required by law. The FDA says there are no approved vaccines, drugs or investigational products currently available to treat or prevent the virus. Read more about the warning letters.
I will continue to monitor this situation, and make sure that my staff and I deliver pertinent and accurate information to West Virginians as fast as we can. West Virginians always take care of West Virginians, and this time is no exception. If you have any question or suspicion that you are being taken advantage of by coronavirus scams, or receiving inaccurate information, please use FEMA’s Coronavirus Rumor Control webpage, or contact my office.
For additional information on coronavirus scams, check out the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security webpage here.
As the coronavirus outbreak has swept over our country and state, not one person has gone unaffected. As we make these changes to our everyday routines, we run into unexpected challenges. No two people will have the same situation, or the same experience. That is why it is vital that we do our best to support each other as we get through this difficult and uncertain time. Together, we can keep our families healthy and safe.
Here are some additional resources that are available to West Virginians as we battle the COVID-19 pandemic:
Unfortunately, some of the same tactics that help us to stop the spread of COVID-19 are creating circumstances, which have made tackling the opioid epidemic more difficult. As a result, addiction recovery services can be harder to access. Unfortunately in West Virginia and across the nation, drug overdose deaths are rising during the pandemic. Therefore, we must be there for each other now more than ever and help increase access to recovery options. ATLAS is now providing a free, confidential service that connects individuals struggling with drug addiction and abuse with reliable treatment options. Learn more by clicking here.
COVID-19 has presented one of the biggest challenges to broad aspects of our economy, including the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Recently, First Class letter mail has experienced delays. USPS is aware of the issue and continues work hard to try and resolve them as quickly as possible. USPS has also made an effort to be transparent about the issues on their website. The culmination of staff shortages, relying more on trucks over air carriers, and historic volumes of in packages have all contributed to the delays.
Senator Capito has heard from a number of constituents about this issue. As a result, her staff has—and will continue to—follow up on all constituent concerns with the post office directly and make sure USPS provides answers so these continued delays can be avoided.
If you are experiencing delays with USPS:
If you are expecting a bill and it hasn’t arrived yet, contact the company. (Most organizations will allow payments to be covered over the phone or online.)
If you mailed a payment recently, call the company you have mailed to make sure it’s been received. If it hasn’t, ask the company to make note of the issue on your account, and consider making a payment over the phone or online and stop payment on check you mailed them.
Make sure you have online access to your accounts so you can monitor them.
If you decline to pay bills online because of discomfort with share financial information with companies, consider setting up bill pay through your bank’s website. They will send the money on your behalf, without sharing your information.
If you have any additional issues, please reach out to my office in Washington D.C. at (202) 224-6472, my office in Charleston at (304) 347-5372, or leave a comment on my website here: https://www.capito.senate.gov/contact/share-your-opinion.
