Ruth's Chris Steak House will return the $20 million coronavirus small-business loan it procured from the government's $350 billion Paycheck Protection Program, the company announced Thursday.
Cheryl Henry, CEO of Ruth's Hospitality Group said in a statement that the company was eligible for the funds it had applied for in order to protect employees and their families. However, the chain has been under fire for accepting stimulus loans earmarked for struggling small businesses, not multimillion-dollar corporations.

“I think a lot of these big companies, it’s questionable whether they can make that certification,” Mnuchin told the Fox Business Network on Wednesday. After Congress authorizes new funding for the overall program, the amount of loans the program is able to authorize will then increase by the canceled amount, according to the Small Business Administration.
