PRESIDENT | CEO

UPDATE

Terri Kimble

CEO

PRESIDENT | CEO, CHANDLER

It has been a memorable year that will go down in history. While we faced

unusual challenges in 2020, it made for an innovative resilience that drove

the Chandler Chamber to keep the Chandler business community on solid

footing. We learned to think differently and that out-of-the box initiative will

continue to drive us into 2021.

In 2020, the Chandler Chamber was presented with the opportunity to implement

numerous programs and services to cultivate and solidify our relationship with not

only our members, but all businesses in Chandler during the pandemic.

We have gained knowledge, we have changed in the face of adversity, and we have

gained the tools and the means to make 2021 a positive journey.

The events of the past year demonstrated that the diverse challenges we faced as

a nation are truly complex and require an effort to ensure that every person realizes

the opportunity for justice. The Chandler Chamber stands behind our Diversity,

Equity and Inclusion series to bring us all together, sharing and educating so that we

may understand and appreciate each other.

Our goal for 2021 is to keep pursuing recovery for our region, focus on our

mission of providing unparalleled support for our businesses and to strengthen our

community – now and in the future.

FORWARD

JANE POSTON | CHAMBER BOARD CHAIR

2021If there was ever a year to look

forward to, it’s 2021.

Every Chandler business

owner is greeting the year from

a different vantage point, and

the future is still uncertain.

But I believe that it’s a time of

opportunity, and I invite you to

join the conversation regarding

what that future can be.

We know many business owners

have a great deal of work and

Introducing Jane

By Molly Bell

2020 Chamber Board Chair

It is with a great sense of gratitude

and satisfaction that I write my

final message as the Chandler

Chamber Board Chair. It is my

pleasure to introduce our 2021

Board Chair, Jane Poston with J2

Media. Jane is highly experienced,

qualified and prepared to lead

this Chamber into the future.

I know Jane and the Chamber

Board of Directors will continue

to innovate and move our

organization forward. I am

immensely proud of what our

Chamber has accomplished in

2020. We set out to lead, educate

and serve and I hope you feel we

have done just that. Thank you

for the opportunity to be a part of

and lead this incredible business

collective.

| January 2021


healing to do, and the Chamber

is here for you. Many, like myself,

just want to wipe the slate clean

and start fresh. The Chamber

is here for you too. Whichever

side you happen to fall on, it

means getting creative with this

new beginning and adapting to

whatever comes our way.

In that regard, I hope you

like the fresh new look for the

Chamber itself. We wanted to roll

out the new look to go along with

our new location in Downtown

Chandler. And this isn’t just

optics; it’s about making sure the

Chamber is communicating clearly

and often with our members.

The Board and staff, led by our

President and CEO will continue

to find innovative ways and

new ideas to help businesses

in whatever capacity is needed.

We will continue to act as a

conduit between your business

and elected officials, other local

businesses as well as our partners

in the nonprofit and education

sectors.

...it means

getting creative

with this new

beginning and

adapting to

whatever comes

our way.

We are the voice of the

business community, when and

how you need us to be.

One notable takeaway from

The Year that Shall Not be

Named, is that, while we are a

membership-based organization,

and rely on those memberships

to be financially sound, we

also believe that success of all

businesses in Chandler is the

success to us as a Chamber.

With that in mind, we’ve made

Chamber resources available

to any and all local businesses,

regardless of membership status.

That is something we’ll continue

when and where it makes sense.

We’re online when we need

to be, and will revisit in-person

events when we can. Our Ostrich

Festival committee is diligently

researching new concepts for

Chandler’s signature event. Each

event and program is being

examined for how it can help the

business community succeed in

the future.

I hope you join us as we build a

successful 2021. Be sure to reach

out to the Board, the staff, or me if

you have input or ideas. On behalf

of the Chandler Chamber Board

of Directors, I want to thank you

for being part of our organization’s

success, and most importantly,

welcome to the New Year!

FROM THE

MAYOR

Chandler Mayor

Kevin Hartke

Chamber on the Move

Physical location and rebranding kick

off the new year

Same Dedication to the Chandler

Business Community

Happy New Year,

Chamber Members!

We are kicking off 2021 with

another round of relief funding

for Chandler businesses.

Through the I Choose Chandler

Business Hiring and Retention

Program, the City awarded and

disbursed approximately $4

million to nearly 550 businesses

in 2020.

Beginning on January 7th,

applications re-open for

businesses to apply based

on employee retention,

hiring or use of 1099-eligible

independent contractors

during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Approximately $5.5 million is

available to support qualifying

businesses, with a maximum

of $10,000 per business.

Businesses awarded in 2020

are eligible to reapply for

additional funding.

I am glad to see this

successful program continue

to support our local businesses

through the pandemic. Council

will continue to advocate

for resources to support our

community to ensure a brighter

2021 for all.

For more information on the

I Choose Chandler Business

Hiring and Retention Program,

please visit chandleraz.gov/icc.

The Chandler Chamber has moved

into their new location at 101 W

Commonwealth Ave in downtown

Chandler. It is a charming, historic

brick building constructed

by Justice of the Peace, Jay

Tibshraeny’s father.

Terri Kimble, President/CEO

of the Chandler Chamber said,

“We are very excited about this

location, right in the heart of

downtown Chandler. The new

building provides convenient,

walk-in access for community,

business and tourism.”

It offers two modern/industrial

conference rooms available for a

small group of members to meet

clients. Just contact the Chandler

Chamber to check availability

to book one of the rooms. The

Chamber also created a Podcast/

Vlogging room equipped to record

video and podcasts for member

interview and educational

purposes.

Kimble added, “This was a

positive move for the Chamber.

The fact that we are much more

approachable will take us a

long way towards advocating

for our business community.

We have changed with the

circumstances by pivoting to

virtual programming, but this was

also an opportunity to continue to

evolve and innovate to best serve

the business community.”

The Chamber’s new member

decal with their new logo will be

given out to new and renewing

members in the coming year. The

new logo incorporates three “Cs”

representing the words Chandler,

Chamber and Commerce. The

gradation of the two color palette

blues and the two purples are

used in the logo to show direction

and momentum of the chamber.

The Chamber is moving forward in

a new direction.

“With our rich history, we

look to build on our brand and

further define who we are as

an organization in 2021,” said

Kimble. “We do that by continuing

to provide our services to the

businesses, residents and visitors

of Chandler.

ECONOMIC

IMPACT

PAYMENTS

Treasury and IRS begin delivering

second round of Economic Impact

Payments to millions of Americans

The Internal Revenue Service

and the Treasury Department

will begin delivering a second

round of Economic Impact

Payments as part of the

Coronavirus Response and Relief

Supplemental Appropriations Act

of 2021 to millions of Americans

who received the first round of

payments earlier this year.

The initial direct deposit

payments may begin arriving as

early as tonight for some and will

continue into next week. Paper

checks will begin to be mailed

tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 30.

The IRS emphasizes that there

is no action required by eligible

individuals to receive this second

payment. Some Americans may

see the direct deposit payments

as pending or as provisional

payments in their accounts before

the official payment date of Jan. 4,

2021. The IRS reminds taxpayers

that the payments are automatic,

and they should not contact their

financial institutions or the IRS

with payment timing questions.

Throughout this

challenging year,

the IRS has worked

around the clock to

provide Economic

Impact Payments

and critical taxpayer

services to the

American people.

“—IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig

As with the first round of

payments under the CARES Act,

most recipients will receive these

payments by direct deposit.

For Social Security and other

beneficiaries who received the

first round of payments via Direct

Express, they will receive this

second payment the same way.

Anyone who received the first

round of payments earlier this year

but doesn’t receive a payment

via direct deposit will generally

receive a check or, in some

instances, a debit card. For those

in this category, the payments will

conclude in January. If additional

legislation is enacted to provide

for an additional amount, the

Economic Impact Payments that

have been issued will be topped

up as quickly as possible.

Eligible individuals who did

not receive an Economic Impact

Payment this year – either the

first or the second payment – will

16 Chandler Chamber CONNECT | January 2021


be able to claim it when they file

their 2020 taxes in 2021. The IRS

urges taxpayers who didn’t receive

a payment this year to review the

eligibility criteria when they file

their 2020 taxes; many people,

including recent college graduates,

may be eligible to claim it. People

will see the Economic Impact

Payments (EIP) referred to as the

Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on

Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR since

the EIPs are an advance payment

of the RRC.

“Throughout this challenging

year, the IRS has worked around

the clock to provide Economic

Impact Payments and critical

taxpayer services to the American

people,” said IRS Commissioner

Chuck Rettig. “We are working

swiftly to distribute this second

round of payments as quickly

as possible. This work continues

throughout the holidays and into

the new year as we prepare for

the upcoming filing season. We

urge everyone to visit IRS.gov in

the coming days for the latest

information on these payments

and for important information

and assistance with filing their

2021 taxes.”

Authorized by the newly

enacted COVID-relief legislation,

the second round of payments,

or “EIP 2,” is generally $600 for

singles and $1,200 for married

couples filing a joint return. In

addition, those with qualifying

children will also receive $600 for

each qualifying child. Dependents

who are 17 and older are not

eligible for the child payment.

Payments are automatic for

eligible taxpayers

Payments are automatic for

eligible taxpayers who filed a

2019 tax return, those who receive

Social Security retirement, survivor

or disability benefits (SSDI),

Railroad Retirement benefits as

well as Supplemental Security

Income (SSI) and Veterans

Affairs beneficiaries who didn’t

file a tax return. Payments are

also automatic for anyone who

successfully registered for the first

payment online at IRS.gov using

the agency’s Non-Filers tool by

Nov. 21, 2020 or who submitted a

simplified tax return that has been

processed by the IRS.

Who is eligible for the second

Economic Impact Payment?

Generally, U.S. citizens and resident

aliens who are not eligible to

be claimed as a dependent

on someone else’s income tax

return are eligible for this second

payment. Eligible individuals will

automatically receive an Economic

Impact Payment of up to $600 for

individuals or $1,200 for married

couples and up to $600 for each

qualifying child. Generally, if you

have adjusted gross income for

2019 up to $75,000 for individuals

and up to $150,000 for married

couples filing joint returns and

surviving spouses, you will receive

the full amount of

the second payment.

For filers with income

above those amounts,

the payment amount is

reduced.

How do I find out if the IRS

is sending me a payment?

People can check the status

of both their first and second

payments by using the Get

My Payment tool, available in

English and Spanish only on IRS.

gov. The tool is being updated

with new information, and the

IRS anticipates the tool will be

available again in a few days for

taxpayers.

How will the IRS know where

to send my payment? What if I

changed bank accounts?

The IRS will use the data already

in our systems to send the new

payments. Taxpayers with direct

deposit information on file will

receive the payment that way.

For those without current direct

deposit information on file,

they will receive the payment

as a check or debit card in the

mail. For those eligible but who

don’t receive the payment for

any reason, it can be claimed by

filing a 2020 tax return in 2021.

Remember, the Economic Impact

Payments are an advance payment

of what will be called the Recovery

Rebate Credit on the 2020 Form

1040 or Form 1040-SR.

Will people receive a paper check

or a debit card?

For those who don’t receive a

direct deposit by early January,

they should watch their mail

for either a paper check or a

debit card. To speed delivery of

the payments to reach as many

people as soon as possible, the

Bureau of the Fiscal Service, part

of the Treasury Department, will

be sending a limited number of

payments out by debit card. Please

note that the form of payment

for the second mailed EIP may be

different than for the first mailed

EIP. Some people who received

a paper check last time might

Are more people eligible now for a

payment than before?

Under the earlier CARES Act, joint

returns of couples where only

one member of the couple had

a Social Security number were

generally ineligible for a payment

– unless they were a member of

the military. But this month’s new

law changes and expands that

provision, and more people are

now eligible. In this situation, these

families will now be eligible to

normally paid. For eligible people

in this group who didn’t receive a

payment for any reason, they can

file a 2020 tax return.

I didn’t file a tax return and didn’t

register with the IRS.gov non-filers

tool. Am I eligible for a payment?

Yes, if you meet the eligibility

requirement. While you won’t

receive an automatic payment

now, you can still claim the

equivalent Recovery Rebate Credit

receive a debit card this time, and

some people who received a debit

card last time may receive a paper

check.

IRS and Treasury urge eligible

people who don’t receive a

direct deposit to watch their mail

carefully during this period for

a check or an Economic Impact

Payment card, which is sponsored

by the Treasury Department’s

Bureau of the Fiscal Service and

is issued by Treasury’s financial

agent, MetaBank®, N.A. The

Economic Impact Payment Card

will be sent in a white envelope

that prominently displays the U.S.

Department of the Treasury seal.

It has the Visa name on the front

of the Card and the issuing bank,

MetaBank®, N.A. on the back of

the card. Information included

with the card will explain that this

is your Economic Impact Payment.

More information about these

cards is available at EIPcard.com.

receive payments for the taxpayers

and qualifying children of the

family who have work-eligible

SSNs. People in this group who

don’t receive an Economic Impact

Payment can claim this when they

file their 2020 taxes under the

Recovery Rebate Credit.

Is any action needed by Social

Security beneficiaries, railroad

retirees and those receiving

veterans’ benefits who are not

typically required to file a tax

return?

Most Social Security retirement

and disability beneficiaries,

railroad retirees and those

receiving veterans’ benefits do not

need take any action to receive a

payment. Earlier this year, the IRS

worked directly with the relevant

federal agencies to obtain the

information needed to send

out the new payments the same

way benefits for this group are

when you file your 2020 federal

income tax return.

Will I receive anything for my

tax records showing I received

a second Economic Impact

Payment?

Yes. People will receive an IRS

notice, or letter, after they receive

a payment telling them the

amount of their payment. They

should keep this for their tax

records.

Where can I get more information?

For more information about

Economic Impact Payments and

the 2020 Recovery Rebate, key

information will be posted on IRS.

After much deliberation, Congress

agreed to approve a $900 billion

COVID-19 relief package as part of

the Consolidated Appropriations

Act, 2021. Included in that amount

is $284 billion for a second round

of the Paycheck Protection

Program (PPP).

The new relief package includes:

• additional funding for new PPP

loans

• the ability to obtain a second

PPP loan for small businesses

facing significant revenue

declines in any 2020 quarter

compared to the same quarter

in 2019

• clarifications providing for

the deductibility of business

expenses paid with forgiven

PPP loans (a material change

from existing IRS guidance)

• loan eligibility for Section 501(c)

(6) not-for-profit organizations

for the first time

• $15 billion for live venues,

independent movie theaters

and cultural institutions

• $20 million for the Economic

Injury Disaster Loan Program

As part of an end-of-year

pandemic relief package,

Congress has passed several

changes to the Paycheck

Protection Program (PPP) and

created a “Second Draw” PPP

for small businesses who have

exhausted their initial loan.

Other changes impact eligibility

for initial PPP loans, the loan

forgiveness process, and the tax

treatment of PPP loans.

Congress has also made

changes to other programs–

including Economic Injury

Disaster Loans (EIDL Program), the

Employee Retention Tax Credit,

a Venue Grant program, and SBA

loan programs –that will benefit

small businesses.
