It was set to expire on March 31st. In addition to pushing back the application deadline, it also provides 30 additional days for the U.S. Small Business Administration to finish processing applications received by the new deadline. This extension doesn’t provide any additional funding. The PPP was created to provide a direct incentive to help small businesses keep their workers on the payroll, hire back those who have been laid off, and help cover applicable overhead. Borrowers should continue to monitor PPP developments. Those who are considering applying should prepare and have all relevant documentation on hand. For PPP loan questions, contact your lender directly.
