Many lawmakers plan to target what they say are shortcomings in the $670 billion program to aid small businesses when Congress returns

Proposals include extending the number of weeks that small businesses can spend money from the government’s forgivable loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, and allowing businesses to use more of the funds for overhead costs.

Question: what happens to businesses that take out loans but reopen before the loan is fully used? Do they have to return the money? Is anyone even tracking?

Why is I so fucking hard for yall to just pass UBI

Why don't you do something about getting back to work.

JPMorgan says its coronavirus relief loans were mostly small in amount and for tiny companiesA replenishment in the heavily criticized Paycheck Protection Program resulted in a firehose of small business lending from JPMorgan Chase, the financial institution said '🎶 Another day older and-a deeper in debt 🎶' I love the use of “firehose” as the choice word.

After funding dried up got an email saying I was in Stage 3 (ready for SBA submission). Monday the 2nd round opened filed with Lendio & was funded 3 days. Chase doesn’t work for small business. And will no longer be my bank.
