SBA and U.S. Labor Department Announce New Website To Help States Implement Self-Employment Assistance Programs

The U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of Labor today jointly announced a new website to support state workforce and unemployment agencies in implementing or enhancing Self-Employment Assistance programs. Today’s announcement expands on guidance issued in May, which included $35 million in funding for states to implement or expand these programs made possible through the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.

"Our job at the SBA is to provide access and opportunity to entrepreneurs who want to start, grow or expand their business," said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. "For entrepreneurs who find themselves unemployed, the SEA website and toolkit will help them turn small business ownership into a reality and possibly put others back to work at the same time – a win-win scenario."
