1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Mississippi 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=MS&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.

[As CMS restated it in QSO-20-39-NH:] In March of 2020, CMS issued memorandum QSO 20-14-NH providing guidance to facilities on restricting visitation of all visitors and non-essential healthcare personnel, except for certain compassionate care situations, such as an end-of-life situation.

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.

End of general restrictions, State of Mississippi: Executive Order 1549 (Gov. Tate Reeves, March 2, 2021): 'Executive Order 1535 and Executive Order 1536 and all amendments thereto are rescinded and shall stand repealed'; business terms converted to recommendations (2021-03-03 17:00). What remained: The mandatory school face-covering rule ('Every person in Mississippi shall wear a face covering... while inside a school building or classroom'), re-enacted by EO 1550 and EO 1551 for the remainder of the 2020-21 academic year; indoor-arena caps (50 percent bowl, 75 percent club and suites) and K-12 indoor extracurricular caps until EO 1550 raised them (75 percent; 50 percent) on March 31, 2021 and EO 1551 rescinded them at 5:00 p.m. April 30, 2021; the State of Emergency of March 14, 2020 (to November 20, 2021) and the State Health Officer's delegated isolation and quarantine authority; MSDH hospital coordination mandates; the local orders of Jackson (face coverings through 2021) and other municipalities.

Preemption of local orders, State of Mississippi: EO 1463 paragraph 2(b) (March 24, 2020) suspended local orders that reached essential businesses: 'any order, rule, regulation or action by any governing body, agency or political subdivision of the state that imposes any additional freedom of movement or social distancing limitations on Essential Business or Operation, restricts scope of services or hours of operation of any Essential Business or Operation, or which will or might in any way conflict with or impede the purpose of this Executive Order is suspended and unenforceable during this COVID-19 State of Emergency.' The March 26, 2020 supplement (every later order refers to 'Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented'; not separately retrieved) clarified that local governments could adopt stricter measures on other matters. From EO 1466 onward every general order carried the clause: 'Nothing in this Executive Order shall limit or alter the authority of any local or county authority from adopting orders, rules, regulations, resolutions, and actions that are more strict than established herein, provided that they do not impose restrictions that prevent any Essential Business or Operation as identified in Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented from operating at such level necessary to provide essential services and functions during this COVID-19 State of Emergency' (EO 1466 I(i); EO 1477 I(j); EO 1525 II(o), adding 'including face covering requirements'), and preserved municipal authority under Miss. Code Ann. 21-19-3 'to enact and enforce more restrictive measures to contain and restrict transmission of COVID-19.' Jackson, Tupelo, Starkville and Biloxi legislated under that clause through 2020 and, in Jackson's case, through 2021. No State instrument barring local COVID-19 orders was located for March 2020 - September 2021.

End of general restrictions, State of Mississippi: Executive Order 1549 (Gov. Tate Reeves, March 2, 2021): 'Executive Order 1535 and Executive Order 1536 and all amendments thereto are rescinded and shall stand repealed'; business terms converted to recommendations (2021-03-03 17:00). What remained: The mandatory school face-covering rule ('Every person in Mississippi shall wear a face covering... while inside a school building or classroom'), re-enacted by EO 1550 and EO 1551 for the remainder of the 2020-21 academic year; indoor-arena caps (50 percent bowl, 75 percent club and suites) and K-12 indoor extracurricular caps until EO 1550 raised them (75 percent; 50 percent) on March 31, 2021 and EO 1551 rescinded them at 5:00 p.m. April 30, 2021; the State of Emergency of March 14, 2020 (to November 20, 2021) and the State Health Officer's delegated isolation and quarantine authority; MSDH hospital coordination mandates; the local orders of Jackson (face coverings through 2021) and other municipalities.

Preemption of local orders, State of Mississippi: EO 1463 paragraph 2(b) (March 24, 2020) suspended local orders that reached essential businesses: 'any order, rule, regulation or action by any governing body, agency or political subdivision of the state that imposes any additional freedom of movement or social distancing limitations on Essential Business or Operation, restricts scope of services or hours of operation of any Essential Business or Operation, or which will or might in any way conflict with or impede the purpose of this Executive Order is suspended and unenforceable during this COVID-19 State of Emergency.' The March 26, 2020 supplement (every later order refers to 'Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented'; not separately retrieved) clarified that local governments could adopt stricter measures on other matters. From EO 1466 onward every general order carried the clause: 'Nothing in this Executive Order shall limit or alter the authority of any local or county authority from adopting orders, rules, regulations, resolutions, and actions that are more strict than established herein, provided that they do not impose restrictions that prevent any Essential Business or Operation as identified in Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented from operating at such level necessary to provide essential services and functions during this COVID-19 State of Emergency' (EO 1466 I(i); EO 1477 I(j); EO 1525 II(o), adding 'including face covering requirements'), and preserved municipal authority under Miss. Code Ann. 21-19-3 'to enact and enforce more restrictive measures to contain and restrict transmission of COVID-19.' Jackson, Tupelo, Starkville and Biloxi legislated under that clause through 2020 and, in Jackson's case, through 2021. No State instrument barring local COVID-19 orders was located for March 2020 - September 2021.

Reeves' announcement that he would let the current state of emergency order expire came on June 18, when daily COVID-19 cases were low... 'While a state of emergency should no longer be necessary after Aug. [15]'... Reeves said on social media he was considering whether to extend the emergency: 'We are discussing our options on the State of Emergency and will make a final decision within the next 48 hours on whether or not it needs to be extended'... That original state of emergency order allowed Reeves and Dobbs to issue dozens of [orders]... The state of emergency order also granted Dobbs the power to issue his own health-[related orders, including] requiring hospitals to participate in a state-run program that allows real-time tracking of hospital bed space, and requiring school districts to report their COVID-19 [cases].

Gov. Tate Reeves announced on Thursday his intent to allow the state of emergency he declared in early 2020 to combat the COVID-19 pandemic to expire on Nov. 20. Reeves previously announced in June that he would let the emergency order expire on Aug. 15, but reversed course as the delta variant pushed the state's hospital system to [the brink]... Under the state of emergency, State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs was able to mandate that hospitals coordinate under MSDH's COVID-19 System of Care Plan... The state of emergency order also granted Dobbs the power to issue his own health-[related orders, including] requiring hospitals to participate in a state-run program that allows real-time tracking of hospital bed space, and requiring school districts to report their COVID-19 [cases].

End of general restrictions, State of Mississippi: Executive Order 1549 (Gov. Tate Reeves, March 2, 2021): 'Executive Order 1535 and Executive Order 1536 and all amendments thereto are rescinded and shall stand repealed'; business terms converted to recommendations (2021-03-03 17:00). What remained: The mandatory school face-covering rule ('Every person in Mississippi shall wear a face covering... while inside a school building or classroom'), re-enacted by EO 1550 and EO 1551 for the remainder of the 2020-21 academic year; indoor-arena caps (50 percent bowl, 75 percent club and suites) and K-12 indoor extracurricular caps until EO 1550 raised them (75 percent; 50 percent) on March 31, 2021 and EO 1551 rescinded them at 5:00 p.m. April 30, 2021; the State of Emergency of March 14, 2020 (to November 20, 2021) and the State Health Officer's delegated isolation and quarantine authority; MSDH hospital coordination mandates; the local orders of Jackson (face coverings through 2021) and other municipalities.

Preemption of local orders, State of Mississippi: EO 1463 paragraph 2(b) (March 24, 2020) suspended local orders that reached essential businesses: 'any order, rule, regulation or action by any governing body, agency or political subdivision of the state that imposes any additional freedom of movement or social distancing limitations on Essential Business or Operation, restricts scope of services or hours of operation of any Essential Business or Operation, or which will or might in any way conflict with or impede the purpose of this Executive Order is suspended and unenforceable during this COVID-19 State of Emergency.' The March 26, 2020 supplement (every later order refers to 'Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented'; not separately retrieved) clarified that local governments could adopt stricter measures on other matters. From EO 1466 onward every general order carried the clause: 'Nothing in this Executive Order shall limit or alter the authority of any local or county authority from adopting orders, rules, regulations, resolutions, and actions that are more strict than established herein, provided that they do not impose restrictions that prevent any Essential Business or Operation as identified in Executive Order No. 1463 as Supplemented from operating at such level necessary to provide essential services and functions during this COVID-19 State of Emergency' (EO 1466 I(i); EO 1477 I(j); EO 1525 II(o), adding 'including face covering requirements'), and preserved municipal authority under Miss. Code Ann. 21-19-3 'to enact and enforce more restrictive measures to contain and restrict transmission of COVID-19.' Jackson, Tupelo, Starkville and Biloxi legislated under that clause through 2020 and, in Jackson's case, through 2021. No State instrument barring local COVID-19 orders was located for March 2020 - September 2021.

5. Standing duties in Mississippi

Mississippi bound its employers through four standing layers of law that existed before March 2020 and ran through every claimable quarter. First, the health code. Miss. Code Ann. § 41-3-15(4) gives the State Board of Health authority 'to direct and control sanitary and quarantine measures for dealing with all diseases within the state possible to suppress same and prevent their spread,' to investigate 'conditions of employment and other conditions that may affect health,' and to permit and 'exercise control over' every restaurant and food establishment; § 41-3-15(12) empowers the State Department of Health to detain persons who violate an order of the State Health Officer, gives its investigators 'general arrest powers' and directs 'all law enforcement officers' to assist (Exs. DUT-MS-001, DUT-MS-003). Section 41-3-17 authorizes the Board's 'reasonable sanitary rules and regulations, to be enforced in the several counties by the county health officer' (Ex. DUT-MS-002). Section 41-23-5 vests the Department with authority 'to investigate and control the causes of epidemic, infectious and other disease affecting the public health, including the authority to establish, maintain and enforce isolation and quarantine, and in pursuance thereof, to exercise such physical control over property and individuals as the department may find necessary for the protection of the public health' (Exs. DUT-MS-006, DUT-MS-007); § 41-23-1 commands the Board to adopt rules 'establishing reporting, monitoring and preventive procedures' for communicable diseases (Ex. DUT-MS-009); and § 41-23-2 makes the knowing and willful violation of a health officer's lawful order by a person afflicted with a life-threatening communicable disease a felony punishable by five years' imprisonment (Ex. DUT-MS-008). The Board's Rules Governing Reportable Diseases and Conditions (15 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 2, Subpt. 11, ch. 1) command the person in charge of any business dealing with foodstuffs for public consumption, and of any institution, to 'exclude the affected person from... working' when an employee is 'afflicted with any disease transmissible under the conditions prevailing in that... establishment,' authorize the health officer to isolate suspects and contacts and to prosecute those who refuse examination, and require every food establishment to 'conform to the specifications of the current Mississippi Food Code' (Ex. DUT-MS-004). Second, the Emergency Management Law. Every general order in the library recites Miss. Code Ann. § 33-15-11(b)(5) and (b)(6) as its enforcement authority (the Governor's power to direct 'state and local law enforcement officers and agencies' and 'the state or local boards of health' for 'the purpose of securing compliance with... the orders, rules and regulations made pursuant' to the article) and states that 'Violations of this Executive Order are subject to the provisions of Miss. Code Ann. § 33-15-43' (Exs. MS-009, MS-014, MS-039; the statute's text as the Legislature printed it in 2021 is Ex. DUT-MS-005). Municipal orders rested on § 45-17-7 ('such other orders as are necessary for the protection of life and property') and were enforced as misdemeanors under § 45-17-9, which Jackson recited in every proclamation (Exs. DUT-MS-015, DUT-MS-016, MS-060). Third, the workplace duty. Mississippi has no State OSHA plan; 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1) bound every Mississippi employer directly (Ex. DUT-AL-009), and the Mississippi Supreme Court describes the employer's obligation as a 'non-delegable duty to provide a reasonably safe place to work' (Exs. DUT-MS-013, DUT-MS-014). What a safe workplace required during COVID-19 was stated by the health authorities: the orders' enumerated conditions and the MSDH guidance they incorporated (Exs. DUT-MS-011, DUT-MS-012, DUT-MS-017, DUT-MS-018, DUT-MS-019). Fourth, the liability shield. SB 3049 (2020), the Mississippi Back-to-Business Liability Assurance and Health Care Emergency Response Liability Protection Act, approved July 8, 2020 and retroactive to March 14, 2020, grants immunity from suit only to the person 'who attempts in good faith to follow applicable public health guidance,' defined as written COVID-19 guidance 'issued by an executive agency or regulatory agency of the federal government or an executive agency of the State of Mississippi' (Ex. DUT-MS-010). The orders themselves wrote the operating conditions in the imperative and told businesses which guidance governed: 'All business and non-profit entities operating within the State of Mississippi shall make reasonable, good-faith efforts to comply with the CDC's and Mississippi State Department of Health's regulations and guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including' nine enumerated measures (screening each shift; sending sick employees home; 75 percent capacity; PPE; distancing; hygiene protocols; cleaning; sanitizer; signage) (Ex. MS-039 ¶ II(e), Sept. 30, 2020 to Dec. 11, 2020; carried into Ex. MS-046 to Mar. 3, 2021). Where the State chose a recommendation it said so: 'strongly encouraged' for the public (Ex. MS-039 ¶ II(b)), 'encouraged' for telework (Exs. MS-006, MS-014, MS-022), and from March 3, 2021 'are encouraged to make reasonable, good-faith efforts to comply' for businesses (Exs. MS-051, MS-053). MSDH's own guidance pages and its July 2021 workplace guidance are written in 'should' and 'recommends' (Exs. DUT-MS-011, DUT-MS-012, DUT-MS-017); they became compulsory through the orders that incorporated them (to March 3, 2021), through the liability shield's condition (throughout), and through the general duty clause (throughout). The State of Emergency ran to November 20, 2021 and the State Health Officer's delegated isolation and quarantine authority with it (Exs. MS-039 ¶ V, MS-053, MS-055).

The phase question

Whether the measures Mississippi employers took beyond the words of the emergency orders were 'voluntary' within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were compelled by standing legal duties that bound employers independent of, and in addition to, the orders already in the Orders Library (thesis T13).

The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger through resort to regular statutory enforcement channels.

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 Mississippi 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 259 instruments in force for this selection: 34 instruments from the State of Mississippi (Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1477 (Apr. 24, 2020) (Ex. MS-014); Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, City of Jackson COVID-19 Executive Orders (compilation, 102 pages): Proclamation of Civil Emergency (Mar. 16, 2020); Proclamation of Executive Order Requiring Individuals to Stay at Home, Barring Non-Essential Business (Mar. 31, 2020; effective Apr. 3 - Apr. 17, 2020; continued Apr. 16 and Apr. 30, 2020 to May 15); Stay Safe Jackson Executive Order (effective May 16, 2020); Amended (June 4, 2020) and Second Amended Stay Safe Jackson (effective July 2, 2020); Mayoral Curfew Orders (effective Aug. 12 and Aug. 19, 2020); Proclamations closing City Hall and requiring non-essential City employees to work remotely (Dec. 19, 2020 - Jan. 6, 2021; Jan. 7 - Jan. 21; Jan. 22 - Feb. 12, 2021; Dec. 29, 2021 - Jan. 5, 2022); Safe Recovery Jackson Executive Order (effective May 10, 2021) and Amended Safe Recovery Jackson Executive Order (effective May 24, 2021); City employee face-covering-or-vaccination Executive Orders (effective Aug. 16, 2021; amended effective Aug. 23, 2021; amended effective Sept. 20, 2021) (Ex. MS-060); Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1465 (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. MS-008); and 31 more), 6 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Mississippi (Mississippi Gaming Commission, COVID-19 News notice (Commission website): closure of all licensed casinos and charitable gaming licensees (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-048); Mississippi State Port Authority at Gulfport (MSPA), MSPA COVID-19 information, May 7, 2020: administrative office with limited personnel; all in-person meetings suspended until further notice; port terminals remain operational to commercial traffic; entrants to the administrative office must sanitize hands, self-check temperature and wear face masks at all times in common areas and when interacting with staff (Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-103); Mississippi Gaming Commission, Executive Director Allen Godfrey, Industry Letter No. 2020-01 (May 15, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-043); and 3 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 40 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-001); Congress (OSH Act § 11(c)), 29 U.S.C. 660(c) (OSH Act § 11(c), anti-retaliation) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-002); and 38 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: EMP (Ex. MS-068); GATH (Ex. MS-014); CB stay-home (Ex. MS-011); WF workforce (Ex. MS-008); CB (Ex. MS-020); CB customer base under stay-home (Ex. MS-060); CURF (Ex. MS-067); DR (Ex. MS-020); DR dining room closed (Ex. MS-014); MASK (Ex. MS-020).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1477 (Apr. 24, 2020) (Ex. MS-014) ordered: "all individuals currently living in the State of Mississippi are encouraged to stay at home or in their place of residence when not engaged in Essential Activities or Essential Travel... all public and private social and other non-essential gatherings in groups of more than 10 people... shall be…" Enforcement: 'This Executive Order may be enforced by all State, County and Local law enforcement, as well as by other governmental entities (such as State and local… Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, City of Jackson COVID-19 Executive Orders (compilation, 102 pages): Proclamation of Civil Emergency (Mar. 16, 2020); Proclamation of Executive Order Requiring Individuals to Stay at Home, Barring Non-Essential Business (Mar. 31, 2020; effective Apr. 3 - Apr. 17, 2020; continued Apr. 16 and Apr. 30, 2020 to May 15); Stay Safe Jackson Executive Order (effective May 16, 2020); Amended (June 4, 2020) and Second Amended Stay Safe Jackson (effective July 2, 2020); Mayoral Curfew Orders (effective Aug. 12 and Aug. 19, 2020); Proclamations closing City Hall and requiring non-essential City employees to work remotely (Dec. 19, 2020 - Jan. 6, 2021; Jan. 7 - Jan. 21; Jan. 22 - Feb. 12, 2021; Dec. 29, 2021 - Jan. 5, 2022); Safe Recovery Jackson Executive Order (effective May 10, 2021) and Amended Safe Recovery Jackson Executive Order (effective May 24, 2021); City employee face-covering-or-vaccination Executive Orders (effective Aug. 16, 2021; amended effective Aug. 23, 2021; amended effective Sept. 20, 2021) (Ex. MS-060) ordered: "Stay-home order (Mar. 31, 2020): 'all individuals currently living within the City of Jackson are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as allowed in this Order... All persons may leave their homes or place of residence only for Essential Activities, Essential Governmental…" Enforcement: 'Violations of this Proclamation of Executive Order may be subject to misdemeanor prosecution pursuant to Section 45-17-9 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as… Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1465 (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. MS-008) ordered: "Duration: This Shelter in Place shall be effective 10:00 p.m. March 31, 2020, and shall remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. April 14, 2020... all individuals currently living in Lauderdale County are ordered to stay at home or in their place of residence except as allowed in this…" Enforcement: Miss. Code Ann. 33-15-11(b)(5) and (b)(6); violations subject to Miss. Code Ann. 33-15-43 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. Executive Order 1477 (Ex. MS-014) was in force from Apr. 27, 2020 to May 11, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days; City of Jackson COVID-19 Executive Orders (compilation, 102 pages): Proclamation of Civil… (Ex. MS-060) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to May 24, 2021, 107 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order 1465 (Ex. MS-008) was in force from Mar. 31, 2020 to Apr. 14, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 40 instruments in the quarter's record, 2 were in force on its first day, 13 on its last day and 1 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.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. City of Jackson COVID-19 Executive Orders (compilation, 102 pages): Proclamation of Civil… (Ex.

Of the 36 instruments in the quarter's record, 10 were in force on its first day, 16 on its last day and 8 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.

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 school masks (Ex. MS-051); SL personal care (Ex. MS-051); AC K-12 indoor 50 percent (Ex.

MS-060) ordered: "Stay-home order (Mar. 31, 2020): 'all individuals currently living within the City of Jackson are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence except as allowed in this Order... All persons may leave their homes or place of residence only for Essential Activities, Essential Governmental…" Enforcement: 'Violations of this Proclamation of Executive Order may be subject to misdemeanor prosecution pursuant to Section 45-17-9 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as… Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1549 (Mar. 2, 2021) (Ex. MS-051) ordered: "Repeal: Executive Order 1535 and Executive Order 1536 and all amendments thereto are rescinded and shall stand repealed. Duration: This Executive Order shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, and shall remain in full force and effect until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31…" Enforcement: Mandatory clauses (arenas; schools; K-12 events) enforceable under the Emergency Management Law; business clauses are recommendations Governor Tate Reeves, Executive Order 1550 (Mar. 31, 2021) (Ex.

Seating capacity in all sections (bowl/arena seating, club areas and suites)…" Enforcement: As in EO 1549 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 Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 days. City of Jackson COVID-19 Executive Orders (compilation, 102 pages): Proclamation of Civil… (Ex. MS-060) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to May 24, 2021, 54 of the quarter's 91 days; Executive Order 1549 (Ex. MS-051) was in force from Mar. 3, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days; Executive Order 1550 (Ex. MS-052) was in force from Mar. 31, 2021 to Apr. 30, 2021, 30 of the quarter's 91 days. Of the 8 instruments in the quarter's record, 6 were in force on its first day, 6 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 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.
