VALIDATION OF YOUR PSP1 AWARD AMOUNT

[OCIO: All recipients should fill this out]

Air carriers that participated in the PSP1, but did not apply for additional payroll support, must provide the information and certifications below relating to the latest sworn financial statements used to determine their PSP1 awardable amount.

BACKGROUND

References below to the sworn financial statement submitted by a PSP1 participant mean the latest such statements submitted by the Recipient to Treasury, including any amendments over time.

For the purposes of determining the PSP1 awardable amount, only wages, salaries, benefits, and other compensation paid to employees from April 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019 should have been included. The following certifications will be used to verify your awardable amount.

CERTIFICATIONS

Corporate Officers. Corporate officers do not meet the definition of an “employee” under the CARES Act, so amounts paid to corporate officers should not have been included in the Recipient’s sworn financial statement in the PSP1 application. “Corporate officer” means a president; any vice president in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration or finance); any other officer who performs a policy-making function; or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions. Executive officers of subsidiaries or parents of a passenger air carrier or contractor may be deemed corporate officers of the passenger air carrier or contractor if they perform such policy-making functions for the passenger air carrier or contractor.

Please select either:

[checkbox] (a) I certify that the latest sworn financial statement that the Recipient submitted in connection with its PSP1 application did not include wages, salaries, benefits, or other compensation paid to corporate officers; or

[checkbox] (b) The Recipient did include payments to corporate officers in its latest sworn financial statement in connection with the PSP1 application.

Independent Contractors. Independent contractors do not meet the definition of an “employee” under the CARES Act, and amounts paid to independent contractors should not have been included in the Recipient’s sworn financial statement in the PSP1 application.

Please select either:

[checkbox] (b) The Recipient did include payments to independent contractors in its sworn financial statement in connection with its PSP1 application.

Employer Side Payroll Taxes. Amounts paid by the Recipient in employer-side payroll taxes are not considered wages, salaries, benefits, or other compensation paid to employees, and should not have been included in the Recipient’s sworn financial statement in the PSP1 application. Employer-side payroll taxes include the taxes you report to the IRS on Lines 5e and 5f of your IRS Form 941 “Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return.”

Please select either:

[checkbox] (a) I certify that the latest sworn financial statement that the Recipient submitted in connection with its PSP1 application did not include amounts the Recipient paid in employer-side payroll taxes; or

[checkbox] (b) The Recipient did include employer-side payroll taxes in its latest sworn financial statement in connection with its PSP1 application.

Amounts Other Than Wages, Salaries, Benefits, and Other Compensation. Amounts other than wages, salaries, benefits, and other compensation (such as per diem expenses or payroll fees) should not have been included in the Recipient’s sworn financial statement in its PSP1 application.

Please select either:

[checkbox] (a) I certify that the latest sworn financial statement that the Recipient submitted in connection with its PSP1 application did not include amounts other than wages, salaries, benefits, and other compensation (such as per diem expenses); or
