    About the Paycheck Protection Program:
    The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.

    SBA will forgive PPP loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. (60% must be used for payroll expenses).

    Please sign up and encourage your businesses to sign up for direct updates from SBA at SBA Updates.
