Employee Retention Credit [Abstract] |
Employee Retention Credit | 13. Employee Retention Credit In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law, providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures. Among these was the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC"), a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes for qualifying businesses that retained employees on their payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company received approval and payment from the Internal Revenue Service for ERC claims submitted. The Company received $1.7 million, including interest, in payments related to calendar years 2020 and 2021. This amount, due to the uncertainty of eventual receipt following claims made, was not recognized until receipt. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $1.5 million was recognized within other income and $0.2 million was recognized in interest income in the condensed statement of operations.
