(b) Limitation.—The aggregate amount not included in the gross income of any individual by reason of subsection (a) shall not exceed $25,000.

(c) Qualified employee.—For purposes of this section, the term “qualified employee” means any individual who provides services at a business concern that is assigned a North American Industry Classification System code beginning with 4244, 4247, 4451, or 4471, and which is located in a county that has at least one confirmed case of COVID-19.

(d) Specified income.—For purposes of this section, the term “specified income” means—

(1) if the services described in subsection (c) are provided as an employee, the wages (as defined in section 3121(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 determined without regard to paragraph (1) thereof) received by the qualified employee for the applicable period, and
