Poll: the payroll protection process
Small businesses were encouraged by the CARES Act, which included some $350 billion small business loans called Paycheck Protection Program.
The idea was that loan amounts will be forgiven as long as: 1) The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8 week period after the loan is made; and 2) Employee and compensation levels are maintained.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans were also made available to businesses.
Details of the program have been criticized in some media reports. One criticism: the programs are underfunded. And at press time, the U.S. Senate was hammering out a deal to boost funding of the loan programs to the tune of $310 billion.
