With $130 Billion Left, PPP Application Deadline Extended
On July 1, 2020, the House waived through Senate-passed legislation (S. 4116) that extends the deadline to apply for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the centerpiece of relief under the CARES Act. The PPP provides forgivable loans to certain small businesses to cover payroll and other permissible expenses.
The original deadline to apply for PPP loans was last Tuesday, June 30, 2020. With the President’s signature over the weekend on July 4, 2020, the deadline for businesses to take advantage of the nearly $130 billion in remaining PPP funds is now August 8, 2020. Business owners interested in applying for a PPP loan should contact their local lender about the program. We are happy to discuss the PPP and other available economic relief for your business.
