  • December 4,2020 the Honorable Mitch
    December 4,2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 2051 5 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader McConnell, Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Minority Leader McCarthy, In March of this year economic shutdowns hit communities across the country. By passing the CARES Act, Congress acted quickly to respond to the health threat we were yet to fully understand and a shutdown with an unknown end date. At the time, December 31, 2020 was believed to be an appropriate expiration date for numerous emergency measures, including Section 4013, the suspension of Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) classification of loans. However, with the end of the year quickly approaching and millions of businesses still in need of relief an extension of Section 4013 along with further forbearance for lenders is critical to our recovery and the survival of businesses in every state of the country. The suspension of TDR classifications has alleviated institutions from an onerous process that in this unique environment would unnecessarily drain their capital accounts and ultimately decrease access to credit for consumers and small businesses in the midst of this exceptional economic downturn. The provision has allowed all financial institutions, particularly those holding commercial mortgages, to modify COVID-19 impacted loans, giving businesses the ability to stay afloat, and substantially increasing the capability of financial institutions to work with their customers so they may recover from the shutdowns.

  • Department of the Treasury Washington, D.C. 20220
    DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20220 May 8, 2020 The Honorable Steve Stivers U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Stivers: I write in reply to your April 16, 2020 letter to President Trump regarding the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on business interruption (BI) insurance contracts. Treasury is actively monitoring the various proposals being discussed in Congress, state legislatures, and the private sector related to insurance and business interruption coverage. The Department is aware that several states have introduced legislative measures to retroactively change the terms of insurance contracts and compel coverage of COVID-19 BI losses. While insurers should pay valid claims, we share your concerns that these proposals fundamentally conflict with the contractual nature of insurance obligations and could introduce stability risks to the industry. Treasury looks forward to working with Congress, the states, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and other stakeholders in determining how to best move forward in addressing losses attributable to the current and potential future pandemics. If you have any further questions, please direct your staff to contact the Office of Legislative Affairs. Sincerely, --=z;,.,,,1,,;_t- u 'r Frederick W. Vaughan Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Office of Legislative Affairs cc: The Honorable Andy Barr The Honorable Bill Posey The Honorable Denver Riggleman The Honorable Barry Loudermilk The Honorable Roger Williams The Honorable Warren Davidson The Honorable Bryan Steil The Honorable Lee Zeldin The Honorable Bill Huizenga The Honorable Tom Emmer The Honorable Ann Wagner The Honorable Alex X.
