The Paycheck Protection Program officially ended on May 31, 2021. Read our PPP page for more information or visit our PPP Loan Forgiveness Guide.


Congress approved $284.5 billion in new Paycheck Protection Program funding as part of a larger COVID-19 relief package that President Trump signed into law on Dec. 27.

Under the new package, additional types of businesses and industries have been made eligible for PPP loans, including housing and small agricultural cooperatives, 501(c)(6) organizations, and certain news outlets.

Furthermore, businesses that have no more than 300 employees, can demonstrate at least 25% reduction in annual gross receipts or in any 2020 quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2019, and have used or planned to use all of their first PPP loan may be eligible for a second PPP loan.
