Payroll Protection Program Funding Extended
Congress voted to add $310 billion in funding to the Payroll Protection Program (PPP). Banks have said the funds are likely to run out quickly. The bill adds one important change to the bill by adding a set aside for “(I) insured depository institutions with consolidated assets of not less than $10,000,000,000 and less than $50,000,000,000;” and “(II) credit unions with consolidated assets of not less than $10,000,000,000 and less than $50,000,000,000.” The bill provides that not less than $30 billion in loans will be made by these community financial institutions. The Senate passed the bill on April 21, and the House on April 23. It now goes to President Trump, who is expected to sign it.
