In our efforts to create a digital home for any helpful an meaningful information on these federal relief programs, WhatsTheCares.com serves to be an easy to understand, digestible and searchable platform for business owners while navigating these programs and whether they want to pursue these forms of relief. Unlike most other, if not all other places of information on the CARES Act, all information provided on this platform will be annotated with direct citations and references, to further combat misinformation. (It is currently being populated with as much information as possible, before it is actively promoted by everyone involved with this effort and others within the community.)
