Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been listening and responding to small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country.
In fact, we have even announced the expansion of the program's eligibility criteria to include many owner-managed small businesses with payrolls of less than $20,000. The new criteria have forced financial institutions to adapt to be able to provide this program to new applicants.
We are working around the clock to ensure that we are able to promptly provide small businesses across the country with the assistance they need.
