America's Lifeline #PaycheckProtectionProgram
By Steve Guest

President Trump is aggressively confronting coronavirus on multiple fronts: not only to protect the health of Americans, but their economic wellbeing too.
That’s why President Trump and Congressional Republicans secured the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to inject $350 billion into America’s great small businesses.
This program, through the Small Business Administration, will:
- Provide 8 weeks of cash-flow assistance to small businesses who maintain their payroll during the coronavirus crisis.
- Small businesses can take out a forgivable loan: If the employer maintains its payroll and this money is used for paying rent or salaries, then the loan will be forgiven.
- The loan is also retroactive. Workers who have already been laid off can be brought back onto payrolls.
- Small businesses can find these details as well as apply at sba.gov/coronavirus.
Reminder : Since President Trump was elected, he has always fought for the American worker. Now with an unprecedented global crisis affecting every single American, President Trump’s administration has provided a much needed lifeline.
Bottom Line : President Trump and Republicans are committed to making sure small businesses and their workers, the backbone of America, are able to get back up and running once the economy reopens, putting our country in the strongest possible position to come back stronger than ever.
