The Payroll Protection Program

​

Program Overview:

The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.  SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.  The Paycheck Protection Program will be available through June 30, 2020.

​

​

There are two important changes to PPP:

​

1.Recipients now have 24 weeks to spend funds from the time of origination to be eligible for at least some loan forgiveness. This is up from the original eight weeks.

 

2.The percent of funds that must be spent on payroll was lowered from 75% to 60% to be eligible for at least some loan forgiveness.
