Smart Moves

To keep consumers and movers healthy and safe during the pandemic, AMSA offers these 10 moving-time facts and tips: 1. For the health of your family and moving crew, always follow CDC guidelines. 2. Work directly with your movers to determine the best time and method for your move. 3. The moving company you choose should alert you if there are any disruptions in service as a result of federal or state action. 4. Help your movers serve you in the safest way possible. Notify them ahead of time if anyone in your household may have contracted coronavirus, or may have been exposed to someone who has. 5. Check your professional mover’s website and feel free to ask questions on how the company is mitigating health risks. 6. If you’ll feel more comfortable, ask if your professional mover can provide virtual estimates, rather than one based on an in-home visit.

Wolf. "I support the Heroes Fund, in the bi-partisan Federal HEROES Act, which would provide $200 billion in hazard pay to life-sustaining workers. My administration is also open to working with the state legislature to allocate additional federal dollars toward hazard pay for additional workers and industries."

The funding awarded Monday builds on the programs Pennsylvania has developed to allocate CARES Act funding for impacted businesses across the commonwealth, including $225 million for Small Business Assistance, $40 million for the dairy industry, $20 million for cultural organizations and museums, and $10 million for the Fresh Food Financing Initiative.
