What is the Biennial Report Forgiveness Program?
The Biennial Report Forgiveness Program allows entities who have been revoked for failure to file or pay for past due BRA-25 reports to reinstate their entity without being charged a fee for these past due reports. Only the reinstatement fee will need to be paid. This program runs from September 1 – September 30, 2021.
Who is eligible for this program?
Entities wishing to take advantage of the program will need to meet the following criteria:
-
The entity must have been terminated or administratively dissolved due to failure to file or pay for due BRA-25 Biennial Reports.
-
The entity must have fewer than 50 employees.
