The program was scheduled to close as of midnight on June 30th. The House of Representatives and the President still need to sign off on the extension. They are expected to act swiftly as well. This extension is intended to provide small businesses with additional time to apply for a forgivable loan under the PPP. There is still $129 billion left in PPP funding. The United States Small Business Administration (SBA), which oversees the program on behalf of the Treasury Department, ceased accepting applications as of midnight on Tuesday, June 30th. The plan approved by the United States Senate extends the deadline for applying until August 8, 2020.

He is the chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee. He did state that he would like to target certain businesses that he believes need a second round of PPP aid. As of June 30th, the SBA had approved approximately $4.9 million loans amounting to more than $520 billion. Congress designed the PPP loans in order to support businesses and other organizations facing economic hardships created by the coronavirus pandemic and assist them in continuing to pay employee salaries. PPP loan recipients can have their loans forgiven in full if the monies were used for eligible expenses and if other criteria are met. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced based upon the percentage of eligible costs attributed to non-payroll costs, any decrease in employee headcount, and decreases in salaries or wages per employee. Revised forms and instructions are available on the SBA website. The new EZ form can be used by many businesses in order to apply for forgiveness. It is signifi cantly easier to complete than the fi rst application the SBA had come out with. Joseph D.
