What is “critical software” after the May 12, 2021 Cybersecurity Executive Order?
The Executive Order, and similar ones such as the recent US Presidential Executive Order, to address the problem of cyber-attacks and cyberattacks on the other, is a response to the recent US President’s May 11 cyber-attacks against the American’s, for which the Executive Office of the President, was the target.
The order states that those responsible would be subject to a lifetime ban from receiving any federal funding, including: U. government agencies, such as the NSA, Federal Bureau of Investigation, CIA, NSA, and NASA; Federal Government Employees; and, State and Local Government Agencies.
So, what is this critical software that they are so concerned about?.
What we have here is a little of the most basic aspects of our world. To understand the threat to the US Government and the nation, it is important to understand the various aspects of our modern world.
The US Government possesses military power. It also has an arsenal of nuclear weapons and nuclear missiles. The question is, what are we doing to counter this?.
According to the US Government, the key to keeping up with this threat is the creation of the “Space Force”, to counter the use of space to launch weapons and missiles.
The space force is a very large and extremely powerful military organisation that is deployed on a number of different continents across the world. The aim of it is to provide that capability for the US Government, as well as to prevent the use of civilian space resources for the purposes stated.
The US Government, according to the order, also states that it is the responsibility of the US intelligence agencies like the CIA, NSA and FBI, to keep an eye on the use of internet to find out if any nuclear weapon is being used that could get out of control.
All these things are considered critical infrastructure.
What makes these critical software systems so vital is the fact that they are designed not only to support human power but also to enable the US Government to maintain and operate these critical infrastructure systems.

COBRA Premium Assistance Tax Credits
COBRA premium assistance is implemented by means of a tax credit whereby the person to whom COBRA premiums would otherwise be payable can claim a tax credit in the amount of the premium. In general, the credit for the applicable quarter is equal to the amount of COBRA premiums that are not paid by assist eligible individuals, including any applicable administrative fee. Notice 2021-31 provides guidance on the calculation of this tax credit, including details on how to calculate the credit if the employer subsidizes COBRA premiums for individuals who are not eligible for COBRA premium assistance and how to allocate the credit when COBRA coverage is also provided to individuals who are not eligible for the subsidy. The COBRA premium assistance tax credit is available to the payee for COBRA continuation coverage. Notice 2021-31 includes details on “who” qualifies as premium payee for the purpose of claiming the credit and “when” the premium payee can first claim the credit, as well as details for premium payees who wish to request an advance of the anticipated tax credit. The Notice also provides instructions on how to claim the tax credit for premium payers without any employment tax liability (such as a multi-employer plan with no employees) as well as premium payers that use a third-party payer to report and pay employment taxes to the IRS.
