1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Connecticut and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?state=CT&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

Enforcement: Recommendations; made mandatory by State elective-procedure orders and referenced in CMS survey guidance

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

The action is the result of an Executive Order issued today by Governor Ned Lamont, lifting restrictions on commercial activity in highway rest areas. The directive comes in the wake of recently suspended enforcement of federal prohibitions against the commercialization of rest areas nationwide, to free states to provide additional necessities.... The Governor reiterated his directive that everyone 'Stay Safe and Stay Home,' and to restrict themselves to essential travel only. Truck drivers, he said, have no choice but to be out on the road making critical deliveries and pick-ups.... Measures to limit COVID exposure, including the public health and safety directives for food service previously ordered by the Governor, including social distancing will be required.

End of general restrictions, State of Connecticut: Executive Order No. 12B (May 20, 2021), section 1, repealing EO 11A sections 1-2 (DECD Sector Rules and their enforcement), EO 11B sections 3-5 (alcohol only with food; no consumer bars) and EO 7TT section 2 (gathering and worship caps) 'effective at 11:59 p.m. on May 20, 2021' (Ex.

Preemption of local orders, State of Connecticut: Connecticut has no county governments; municipalities act under Conn. Gen. Stat. section 28-8a. EO 7H section 2 (March 20, 2020) provided that 'no municipal chief executive officer or designee may enact or enforce any order that conflicts with any provision of any of my Executive Orders or an order issued by an executive agency pursuant to the existing public health and civil preparedness emergency, or issue any shelter-in-place order or order prohibiting travel, unless they first seek and receive written permission from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection' (Ex. CT-007). EO 7S section 1 (Safe Stores rules), EO 7T section 1 (lodging), EO 7V section 1 (Safe Workplace rules), EO 7BB section 1 and EO 7NNN section 1(c) (masks), EO 12/12A subsection (d) and EO 13A section 1(d) each provided that the order 'shall supersede and preempt any current or future municipal order' whenever the municipal order conflicts. EO 9G (October 13, 2020, effective October 15) and EO 9J (October 29, 2020) gave municipalities with a Municipal Case Average of 15 or more new daily cases per 100,000 the election to revert to the pre-October 8 (Phase 2) rules; EO 9K section 1 (November 5, 2020) repealed that authority and returned the State to uniform statewide Phase 2.1 measures. EO 13A section 1(d) (August 5, 2021) carved out one class of local order: 'a municipal order issued pursuant to Section 28-8a of the Connecticut General Statutes requiring masks or face coverings in indoor settings regardless of vaccination status shall not be deemed to conflict with this order', while 'additional restrictions on social, recreational, or business activity that are not related to masks or face coverings... shall be deemed to be in conflict with this order' (Ex. CT-050). Local health directors and municipal designees were the enforcement arm of the State's Sector Rules (EO 7PP section 2; EO 7ZZ section 3; EO 9N; EO 11A section 2), with power to close a business until it abated the nuisance and to impose the 10,000-dollar civil penalty.

5. Standing duties in Connecticut

Connecticut placed every employer under three standing duties before any COVID-19 order issued, and every COVID-19 order was written on top of them. First, the communicable-disease statutes: chapter 368a authorizes the Governor to declare a public health emergency (§ 19a-131a) and the Commissioner of Public Health to quarantine or isolate 'any individual, group of individuals or individuals present within a geographic area' by confinement 'to private homes or other private or public premises' (§ 19a-131b), and § 19a-131a(d) makes any individual who 'violates the provisions of any order issued pursuant to sections 19a-131 to 19a-131i' liable to a fine of $1,000 or a year's imprisonment for each offense; chapter 368e binds every owner or occupant of property to the Public Health Code (§ 19a-206(a) deems a violation 'a nuisance or source of filth injurious to the public health'), arms local directors of health with abatement orders, injunctions, closure and a $250-per-day civil penalty (§ 19a-206(b)), requires local directors to 'comply with and carry out' the Commissioner's emergency orders (§ 19a-221(a)), and makes violation of 'any legal order of a director of health' a class C misdemeanor (§ 19a-230); violation of any provision of the Public Health Code is itself a class C misdemeanor (§ 19a-36(a)(4)). Second, the emergency statute: § 28-9(b)(1) provides that the Governor's order 'shall have the full force and effect of law upon the filing of the full text of such order in the office of the Secretary of the State,' § 28-9(b)(7) authorizes 'such other steps as are reasonably necessary... to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state,' and § 28-22 makes a person 'who violates any provision of this chapter' guilty of a class D felony. The Connecticut Supreme Court held in Casey v. Lamont, 338 Conn. 479 (2021), that § 28-9 authorized the COVID-19 orders limiting bars and restaurants and that the statute is constitutional; the District of Connecticut held in Amato v. Elicker (May 19, 2020) that Executive Order 7N 'is within the state's power to protect public health during an epidemic.' Third, the workplace duties: § 31-49 makes it 'the duty of the master to exercise reasonable care to provide for his servant a reasonably safe place in which to work'; § 31-40v requires every employer of twenty-five or more to 'administer a safety and health committee'; the State's OSHA plan (chapter 571, § 31-370(a)) states the general duty for public employers, and private employers are bound by the identical federal duty in 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1) because CONN-OSHA administers a 'Public Employer Only State Plan.' On those duties the Governor built the operating conditions: EO 7H § 1 (telework 'to the maximum extent possible' and a 100 percent in-person reduction for non-essential workforces), EO 7V § 1 ('Every workplace in the State of Connecticut shall take additional protective measures' under rules that 'shall be mandatory throughout the state'), EO 7PP and EO 11A (Sector Rules that 'shall constitute legally binding guidance,' a violation of which was written into the Public Health Code's definition of public nuisance and punished by closure and, from November 24, 2020, a $10,000 civil penalty per violation), the DECD self-certification requirement ('All businesses subject to the following rules are required to self-certify prior to opening'), and the mask orders that made the employer, 'rather than the employee,' liable for the fine. Connecticut enacted no general business liability shield: HB 5125 (2021), which would have immunized businesses that 'acted in substantial compliance with public health guidelines,' was never enacted, so the ordinary standard of care applied in full, and the only immunity conferred (EO 7U § 1, superseded by EO 7V § 6) ran to health care professionals and facilities for acts 'undertaken in good faith' and expired for facilities on March 1, 2021 (EO 10A § 4). Nothing an employer did to comply with these instruments was voluntary.

The phase question

Whether the measures employers took 'beyond' the orders were voluntary. Connecticut answer: the measures were the performance of duties imposed by statute (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 19a-131a(d), 19a-206, 19a-221, 19a-230, 19a-36(a)(4), 28-9(b)(1), 28-22, 31-49, 31-40v; 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1)), by the Public Health Code (Regs. Conn. State Agencies §§ 19-13-B1, 19-13-B2), and by orders that carried 'the full force and effect of law' (§ 28-9(b)(1)) and made continued operation conditional on compliance with 'legally binding' Sector Rules enforced by closure and civil penalty.

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others....

DUT-CT-002); and 39 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: WF (Ex. CT-002); IN in-person instruction (Ex. CT-003); SF sales floor (Ex.

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Ned Lamont; DECD (Sector Rules), Executive Order No. 7PP (May 18, 2020) (Ex. CT-018) ordered: "pursuant to rules issued by the Department of Economic and Community Development for each of various business sectors (individually and collectively, the 'Sector Rules'), which Sector Rules shall constitute legally binding guidance... Executive Order No. 7H, Section 1 is extended through June 20…" Enforcement: Closure orders by local and district health directors and municipal designees (s.2); Conn. Gen. Stat. section 28-22 Governor Ned Lamont, Executive Order No. 7TT (May 29, 2020) (Ex. CT-019) ordered: "indoor social and recreational gatherings as described in Executive Order No. 7D, Section 1 are permitted for up to and including ten (10) people.... outdoor gatherings... are permitted for up to and including 25 people...

Gen. Stat. section 28-22 Governor Ned Lamont; DECD (Sector Rules; Rules for Gatherings and Venues), Executive Order No. 7ZZ (June 16, 2020) (Ex. CT-021) ordered: "Executive Order No. 7D, Section 2, is amended to permit indoor dining pursuant to the DECD Sector Rules for Restaurants, as amended from time to time, which Sector Rules shall be legally binding and enforceable.

CT-021) was in force from June 17, 2020 to Apr. 19, 2021, 14 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 47 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 33 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Stat. §§ 19a-131 to 19a-131i (public health emergency response authority: declaration, quarantine and isolation orders, enforcement, penalty), with §§ 19a-2a (Commissioner's powers) and 19a-36(a)(4) (Public Health Code penalty) (standing) (Ex. DUT-CT-001); Connecticut General Assembly (Conn. Gen. Stat. chapter 368e, Municipal Health Authorities), Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 19a-206 (nuisances; orders; injunctions; closure; civil penalties), 19a-207 (local enforcement of the Public Health Code; DPH enforcement in emergencies), 19a-221 (local quarantine and isolation orders; duty to carry out the Commissioner's emergency orders), 19a-230 (penalty) (standing) (Ex. DUT-CT-002); and 37 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: IN/EC schools and child care (Ex. CT-047); MASK (Ex. CT-049); OF State offices (Ex. CT-054); PL staffing placements (Ex. CT-053); PM eviction procedures (Ex. CT-049); RS residential care (Ex. CT-051); RS/VS long-term care (Ex. CT-047); SV collections (Ex. CT-065); BA alcohol only with food (Ex. CT-026); CB (Ex. AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-071).

Step three, the change compelled. Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, PURA order establishing a State of Emergency Utility Shut-off Moratorium (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. CT-065) ordered: "the Authority is hereby ordering the gas, electric, and water public service companies regulated by the Authority to implement a Shut-off Moratorium and refrain from terminating utility service to residential customers, except for reasons of public safety, for the duration of the Public Health and…" Enforcement: PURA regulatory authority Office of Health Strategy, Health Systems Planning Unit, OHS_HSP Guidance 20-003b (Revised) (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. CT-064) ordered: "Connecticut hospitals and outpatient surgical facilities are no longer required to submit a COVID-19 Waiver Form to request a temporary increase in licensed bed capacity or to temporarily suspend (as opposed to terminate) services in order to diagnose and treat COVID-19 patients. Any hospital or…" Enforcement: CON regulatory framework (chapter 368z) Governor Ned Lamont, Executive Order No. 7JJJ (July 24, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-071) ordered: "1. Rebuttable Presumption of Eligibility for Workers Compensation. (a) Notwithstanding Section 31-275(15) of the Connecticut General Statutes, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that an employee who initiates a claim for payment of benefits under the provisions of Chapter 568 of the Connecticut…" Enforcement: Conn. Gen. Stat. ch. 568 (Workers' Compensation Commission); 28-22 (violation of emergency orders) The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. PURA order establishing a State of Emergency Utility Shut-off Moratorium (Ex. CT-065) was in force from Mar. 12, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; OHS_HSP Guidance 20-003b (Revised) (Ex. CT-064) was in force from Mar. 25, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Executive Order No. 7JJJ (Ex. AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-071) was in force from July 24, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 28 instruments in the quarter's record, 15 were in force on its first day, 21 on its last day and 10 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

8. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
