15 U.S.C. 9092 (U.S. Code, current edition)
Summary
The current-edition U.S. Code text of 15 U.S.C. 9092, Pandemic relief for aviation workers, in the airline worker support extension enacted by Pub. L. 116–260. To preserve aviation jobs and compensate air carrier industry workers, the Secretary shall provide financial assistance used exclusively for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits: up to $15,000,000,000 in the aggregate for passenger air carriers and up to $1,000,000,000 for contractors. The preceding § 9091 defines a contractor as a person that performs catering or airport functions for a passenger air carrier, such as ticketing and check-in, ground-handling or aircraft cleaning, and excludes corporate officers from employee. The codification note says the part was enacted as part of the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, not the CARES Act.
