Paycheck Protection Program

On Behalf of | Apr 26, 2020 | New York City

 Previously on March 27, the CARES Act had been signed into law with $376 billion in relief for workers and small businesses. That funding was exhausted quickly. Now, small businesses, including law firms, have another opportunity to apply for loans and grants.
 
Specifically, the bill provides:
  • $321 billion increase for the Paycheck Protection Program’s forgivable loans to cover payroll and other fixed costs for small businesses ($60 billion is reserved for smaller lenders)
  • $50 billion for Economic Injury Disaster Loans for small businesses
  • $10 billion for Economic Injury Disaster Grants – up to $10,000 (limit $1000 per employee)
Information on the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and Economic Injury Disaster Grants, as well as the Paycheck Protection Program, can be found here:
