- Treasury only has authority to provide PSP3 financial assistance to a passenger air carrier or contractor that:
- received assistance under PSP2;
- provided air transportation or performed eligible contractor functions as of March 31, 2021;
- has not conducted involuntary terminations or furloughs or reduced pay rates or benefits between March 31, 2021, and the date on which the air carrier or contractor makes certifications that will be included in its PSP3 agreement with Treasury.
- Treasury is required to provide financial assistance under PSP3 in the same form and on the same terms and conditions as under PSP2.
- PSP2 recipients will not be required to apply for PSP3. Treasury will contact each PSP2 recipient to complete program documentation to participate in PSP3.
