1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State District of Columbia 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=DC&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.

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.

By Order of the Chief Judge, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals will not administer the July 2020 Bar Exam due to the ongoing public health emergency arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the uncertainty surrounding this public health emergency, the likelihood of continued or renewed prohibitions on large gatherings, and the potential need to modify plans quickly according to our city's directives aimed at protecting health and safety, we have determined the probability of our being able to successfully administer a bar exam in the District in July is low and cancellation at this time is the prudent course of action.

Agencies, boards and authorities: District of Columbia

The Library holds no instrument of this layer in force in this quarter for this selection.

End of general restrictions, State of District of Columbia: Mayor's Order 2021-069 (May 17, 2021), as described in the Mayor's May 17, 2021 situational update (Ex. DC-073) and recited in Mayor's Orders 2021-096 and 2021-097 (Exs. DC-021, DC-057) (2021-05-21 (5:00 a.m.: capacity limits, activity-type limits and time restrictions on most public and commercial activity lifted); 2021-06-11 (nightclubs and large sports and entertainment venues resumed full operations)). What remained: The public health emergency through July 25, 2021 and the public emergency through January 7, 2022 and beyond; mask requirements for persons not fully vaccinated and, for all persons, on public transit, in health care settings, in schools and child care facilities, in District government facilities with public contact and wherever an establishment required them (Ex. DC-073); the universal indoor mask requirement from July 31, 2021 (Ex. DC-057) with DC Health's mandatory mask guidance of July 30, 2021 (Ex. DC-077); the Superior Court's and Court of Appeals' operating orders (Exs. DC-026, DC-028, DC-059, DC-060, DC-061); DC Health quarantine and isolation guidance; and, from August and September 2021, the vaccination requirements for District employees, health care workers and school and child care personnel (Exs. DC-075, DC-076).

Preemption of local orders, State of District of Columbia: Not applicable in form: the District of Columbia has no counties or municipalities, so the Mayor's Orders are simultaneously the State-level and the local layer, and no lower authority could issue a conflicting order. Two features substitute for a preemption analysis. First, the Council of the District of Columbia controlled the duration of every emergency: D.C. Official Code 7-2306 permits the Mayor to declare a public emergency for fifteen days, and each extension recited in the orders rests on a Council emergency act (D.C. Act 23-247, March 17, 2020; D.C. Act 23-286, April 2020; D.C. Act 23-326 and 23-328, May-June 2020; D.C. Act 23-335, July 7, 2020; D.C. Act 23-405, August 19, 2020; D.C. Act 23-411, October 5, 2020; D.C. Act 23-524, December 21, 2020; D.C. Act 24-30, March 17, 2021; D.C. Act 24-79, May 10, 2021; D.C. Act 24-125, July 24, 2021; D.C. Act 24-178, October 7, 2021), so the District's orders were the product of both the executive and the legislature. Second, the federal enclave: the orders exempt 'Gatherings on property within the District of Columbia owned by the federal government' (Mayor's Order 2020-053, sec. IV.3.b.iv; Mayor's Order 2020-075, sec. XV.1.b.iii) and provide that their enforcement provisions 'shall not apply to any employees of the federal government while they are on duty' (Mayor's Orders 2020-080, sec. IV.2; 2021-038, sec. XV.2; 2021-097, sec. V.4). every District employer whose customers, tenants or counterparties were federal agencies felt both layers at once.

5. Standing duties in District of Columbia

The District of Columbia bound its employers by statute, not by exhortation. The Public Emergency Act empowers the Mayor to order measures protecting persons and property, to control the sale and distribution of goods and services and to direct any person conducting business to alter hours or observe a curfew (D.C. Code 7-2304(b)(3), (6), (7)); the public health emergency order adds detention, licensure and liability terms (7-2304.01); and 7-2307 makes every emergency executive order enforceable by a fine of not more than $1,000 for each violation and by a civil action in the name of the District. From March 17, 2020 the Council added, and renewed without interruption through 2021, two temporary paragraphs: the Mayor may revoke, suspend or limit the licence, permit or certificate of occupancy of any person or entity that violates an emergency executive order, and a violation of any rule, order or other issuance under an emergency order is a violation of the order itself. The Communicable and Preventable Diseases Act of 1939 (7-131 et seq.) supplies rulemaking power over restriction of movement, isolation and quarantine, removal and area-detention orders, a prohibition on obstructing or interfering with health enforcement, and criminal penalties of $5,000 and ninety days ($1,000 and thirty days for violating a rule). On the workplace, the District's own general-duty clause (32-1103) is marked Not Applicable because no State plan was ever approved, so 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1) governs every District private employer directly; on top of it the Council enacted, effective August 20, 2020 and continuously renewed through the period, a statutory command that employers 'shall adopt and implement social distancing and worker protection policies... that adhere to the requirements of Mayor's Order 2020-080, or subsequent Mayor's Order' (from February 26, 2021, 'in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Mayor's Orders'), enforced by administrative penalties, Attorney General suits and a private right of action. The only liability exemption the District enacted for persons generally reaches actions taken 'to implement the provisions of the District of Columbia response plan and of' the communicable-disease law, except gross negligence, and solely during the public health emergency: protection turned on implementing the District's controls. Every reopening order made continued operation conditional on protocols stated with 'shall' and 'must', incorporated DC Health guidance by reference with 'must be followed', and in July 2021 declared that compulsory statements in DC Health guidance 'are to be treated as lawful regulations.' The District Court for the District of Columbia recorded that a congregation contravening the restrictions faced 'fines of $1,000 per violation, D.C. Code 7-2307', and the Attorney General sued gyms under the Emergency Act, obtaining consent terms and a $10,000 penalty. Nothing a District employer did to comply with these instruments was voluntary.

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).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because 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 and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

6. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in District of Columbia with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 253 instruments in force for this selection: 33 instruments from the State of District of Columbia (Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-054 (Mar. 30, 2020) (Ex. DC-006); Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-063 (Apr. 15, 2020) (Ex. DC-008); Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-067 (May 27, 2020) (Ex. DC-029); and 30 more), 5 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of District of Columbia (Chief Judge Sharon Prost, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Administrative Order restricting public access to the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. AGY-FED-LANDS-SCIENCE-COURTS-070); District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Order (filed May 4, 2020): Uniform Bar Examination rescheduled to Sept. 9-10, 2020 'pandemic-related conditions and restrictions permitting'; social distancing to limit seating; masks required; temperature and screening; priority registration for 2019-2020 graduates (Ex. AGY-ST-TRADE-BOARDS-074); District of Columbia Court of Appeals, by order of the Chief Judge, Order (filed Apr. 10, 2020): the Court will not administer the July 2020 Bar Exam (Ex. AGY-ST-TRADE-BOARDS-038); and 2 more), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex. FED-097); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-190); and 176 more) and 36 standing duties (Council of the District of Columbia, D.C. Official Code sec. 7-2304 (standing) (Ex. DUT-DC-001); Council of the District of Columbia, D.C. Official Code sec. 7-2304.01 (standing) (Ex. DUT-DC-002); and 34 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: GATH (Ex. DC-006); PR (Ex. DC-037); WF (Ex. DC-065); BA bars and nightclubs closed (Ex. DC-029); CB customer access (Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-001); EMER predicate (Ex. DC-002); FC gyms closed (Ex. DC-029); PE theatres closed (Ex. DC-003); WF commuting workforce (Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-001); BA bar seating closed (Ex. DC-064).

Step three, the change compelled. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-054 (Mar. 30, 2020) (Ex. DC-006) ordered: "All individuals living in Washington, DC, are ordered to stay at their place of residence, except as specified in this Order.... Individuals may leave their residences (including their porches and yards) only to engage in Essential Activities including obtaining medical care that cannot be provided…" Enforcement: Any individual who willfully violates this Order may be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, subject to a fine not exceeding $5,000, imprisonment for… Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-063 (Apr. 15, 2020) (Ex. DC-008) ordered: "Individuals living, working, and visiting Washington, DC must continue to stay at their place of residence, only leaving for essential activities, essential government functions, essential business, essential travel or allowable recreation.... Residences and facilities specified in section II…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses (sec. IX); 311 reporting Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-067 (May 27, 2020) (Ex. DC-029) ordered: "During Phase One, individuals living in, working in, and visiting Washington, DC are no longer ordered to stay at their residences.... Paragraphs 1 through 6 of Section II of Mayor's Order 2020-054 ordering persons to stay at home are repealed.... Large gatherings of more than ten (10) individuals…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses (sec. XI); official guidance on… 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 Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Mayor's Order 2020-054 (Ex. DC-006) was in force from Apr. 1, 2020 to Apr. 24, 2020, 24 of the quarter's 110 days; Mayor's Order 2020-063 (Ex. DC-008) was in force from Apr. 17, 2020 to May 15, 2020, 29 of the quarter's 110 days; Mayor's Order 2020-067 (Ex. DC-029) was in force from May 29, 2020 to June 22, 2020, 25 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 38 instruments in the quarter's record, 3 were in force on its first day, 20 on its last day and 3 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.

Third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 230 instruments in force for this selection: 23 instruments from the State of District of Columbia (Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-075 (June 19, 2020) (Ex. DC-079); Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-066 (May 13, 2020) (Ex. DC-019); DC Health, DC Health, Phase Two Guidance for Restaurants (June 18, 2020) (Ex. DC-064); and 20 more), 3 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of District of Columbia (District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Order (filed May 4, 2020): Uniform Bar Examination rescheduled to Sept. 9-10, 2020 'pandemic-related conditions and restrictions permitting'; social distancing to limit seating; masks required; temperature and screening; priority registration for 2019-2020 graduates (Ex.

AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-001)), 163 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex.

Official Code sec. 7-2304.01 (standing) (Ex. DUT-DC-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: PR (Ex. DC-068); CH (Ex. DC-068); DR (Ex. DC-064); EMER predicate (Ex. DC-002); GATH (Ex. DC-019); SC (Ex. DC-068); ST (Ex. DC-068); WF (Ex. DC-065); BA (Ex. DC-052); BA bar seating closed (Ex. DC-064).

Step three, the change compelled. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-075 (June 19, 2020) (Ex. DC-079) ordered: "The prohibition on large gatherings of more than ten (10) individuals... is repealed and replaced by a prohibition on mass gatherings of over fifty (50) persons... nonessential retail businesses may open to customers for indoor shopping, provided that the establishment: a.

AGY-ST-TRADE-BOARDS-074) ordered: "The District of Columbia Court of Appeals plans to administer the Uniform Bar Examination ('UBE') on September 9-10, 2020, pandemic-related conditions and restrictions permitting.

Individuals living in, working in, or visiting the District shall wear masks or face coverings [when likely to be in the presence of other persons]... Essential Businesses must require their…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties; agency personnel actions for District employees 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, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Mayor's Order 2020-075 (Ex. DC-079) was in force from June 22, 2020 to Oct. 7, 2020, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Order (filed May 4, 2020): Uniform Bar Examination rescheduled to Sept. 9-10, 2020… (Ex.

DC-019) was in force from May 16, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 26 instruments in the quarter's record, 16 were in force on its first day, 19 on its last day and 13 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 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.

Fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the fourth quarter of 2020 the Library holds 242 instruments in force for this selection: 35 instruments from the State of District of Columbia (Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-075 (June 19, 2020) (Ex.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: WF (Ex. DC-065); CB visitors (Ex. DC-081); CT (Ex. DC-034); DR (Ex. DC-064); EMER predicate (Ex. DC-002); GATH (Ex. DC-045); IC (Ex. DC-049); LG (Ex. DC-046); AC school athletics (Ex. DC-080); AM pools and gyms (Ex. DC-046).

Step three, the change compelled. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-075 (June 19, 2020) (Ex. DC-079) ordered: "The prohibition on large gatherings of more than ten (10) individuals... is repealed and replaced by a prohibition on mass gatherings of over fifty (50) persons... nonessential retail businesses may open to customers for indoor shopping, provided that the establishment: a. Limits the number of…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses (sec. XVII); DOH guidance and regulatory agencies'… Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-119 (Nov. 23, 2020) (Ex. DC-013) ordered: "Section IV.1. of Mayor's Order 2020-103 is modified to strongly encourage continued telework.... Restaurants and other licensed food establishments may continue to operate for patrons until midnight, but alcohol sales, service and consumption (excluding carry-out and delivery) must end at 10:00…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses; Communicable and Preventable Diseases Act penalties… Mayor Muriel Bowser, Mayor's Order 2020-126 (Dec. 16, 2020) (Ex. DC-014) ordered: "houses of worship may admit no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of their capacity as [specified on their Certificate of Occupancy for the room or area where worship services] will be held, or two hundred fifty (250) persons, whichever is fewer.... Safety protocols must include mandatory…" Enforcement: D.C. Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses; Communicable and Preventable Diseases Act penalties… 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 Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020, 92 days. Mayor's Order 2020-075 (Ex. DC-079) was in force from June 22, 2020 to Oct. 7, 2020, 7 of the quarter's 92 days; Mayor's Order 2020-119 (Ex. DC-013) was in force from Nov. 25, 2020 to Mar. 31, 2021, 37 of the quarter's 92 days; Mayor's Order 2020-126 (Ex. DC-014) was in force from Dec. 17, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 15 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 35 instruments in the quarter's record, 17 were in force on its first day, 26 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 fourth 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.

First quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021)

Official Code 7-2307 penalties including civil fines or summary suspension or revocation of licenses; Communicable and Preventable Diseases Act penalties… 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 Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 days. Mayor's Order 2021-038 (Ex. DC-016) was in force from Mar. 22, 2021 to May 20, 2021, 10 of the quarter's 90 days; Mayor's Order 2020-119 (Ex.

Of the 36 instruments in the quarter's record, 24 were in force on its first day, 28 on its last day and 20 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer.

On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the first 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.

Of the 32 instruments in the quarter's record, 25 were in force on its first day, 24 on its last day and 21 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer.

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.
