Protecting Aviation Manufacturing Jobs: Support for Companies and Employees

This act aims to protect and restore jobs in companies manufacturing aircraft and their components that have been affected by the pandemic. Companies can receive funding for salaries, benefits, and training for employees most at risk of layoff or already laid off, provided they meet specific requirements. This support is intended to help maintain employment stability in a crucial industry.
Key points
Financial support program for aviation companies to retain and restore jobs.
Funding covers 50% of compensation, benefits, and training costs for at-risk employees.
Companies must show at least a 15% revenue decline and commit to not laying off employees covered by the program.
Funds cannot be used for stock buybacks or dividends, only for supporting US-based employees.
The program is set to run until April 30, 2023, with a budget of $15 billion.
