Latest Paycheck Protection Program Information

Paycheck Protection Program is Set to End on March 31 – Banks and other businesses are pressing the Biden administration and Congress to keep the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) running beyond its March 31st expiration date, warning that struggling employers need more time to obtain vital business loans. Some banks responsible for doling out billions of dollars in loans under the PPP are beginning to close down their application portals early so they can process applications they have already received.

With Three Weeks Left, Move Fast on Your PPP Loan If you are considering applying for a loan, under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, do it as soon as possible. Here is info on the program.
