On April 13, 2020, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance
opened the application portal for the Saskatchewan Small Business Emergency Payment
("SSBEP") program.
The SSBEP program provides financial assistance to small and
medium-sized business and not-for-profit organizations in
Saskatchewan that have been ordered to temporarily close or
substantially curtail operations through a public health order by
the Chief Medical Health Officer of Saskatchewan.
Through the SSBEP program eligible businesses receive a one-time
payment of 15% of the business's monthly sales revenues in
either April 2019 or February 2020 (the business can select the
preferred month to utilize for the calculation with a view to
maximizing the benefit), up to a maximum of $5,000.
