Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan ForgivenessAnneke Stender
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is part of the larger government stimulus package, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Paycheck Protection Program loans are meant to minimize the number of unemployed persons by helping small business owners make payroll through June 30, 2020. PPP loans are designed to help small business owners stay in business during this time of economic uncertainty. The hope is that if businesses can keep employees on the payroll now, they’ll be in a better position to recover fully. And as a result, fewer people will be jobless and in need of additional federal aid. And if they meet certain criteria, borrowers can request loan forgiveness.
This presentation goes over what requirements need to be met to qualify for loan forgiveness at this point in time.

It is never too early to save for your retirement. For a start, you can estimate the amount that you need to have before you can retire comfortably using financial calculators found on sites such as CNN Money, Kiplinger, Motley Fool, and TIAA-CREF financial services. The good part is, there are many different types of retirement plans that you can participate, individually or with your employers. To help you save for retirement, there are many government-regulated and government-approved retirement accounts that you can contribute a certain amount to annually. Why should you enroll in a retirement plan NOWnow? Did you know that your retirement can last for 30 years or more? A common rule to follow is that a retiree will need up to 80% of his/her annual income today to retire comfortably. Unfortunately, the average benefit amount paid monthly by the Social Security Administration is only $1,177.
Below are many advantages why you should start saving NOWnow:
· Tax on employee and employer contributions is deferred until distributed.
· Investment gains in the plan are not taxed until distributed.
· Retirement assets can be carried from one employer to another.
· Contributions can be made easily through payroll deduction.
· Saver’s Credit is available.
· Flexible plan options are available.
· Better financial security at retirement.

A contribution is defined as the amount that an employee and an employer can put into a retirement plan. There are, however, varying limits on how much we (including both employers and employees) can contribute to any of the retirement plan. Each plan has its own rules and criteria, and must specifically state that contributions or benefits cannot exceed certain limits. Employees can participate in contributions via salary reduction. Employers can match employees’ contributions or contribute outright a certain amount into the employees’ retirement account.
Traditional Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) Comment by Exploring Series: Please change all headings formatted with Heading 3 to Heading 2 style.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
