he Treasury Department is planning to ask Congress for another $200 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which

sets aside $349 billion in rescue loans for small businesses, as demand for financing surges and banks struggle to keep up.people briefed on the matter.banks say guidance from the federal government was too slow to come and confusing once it did arrive, andSenator Marco Rubio , who is the chairman of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, tweeted on Monday that the program is already in urgent need of more funding.

The program will offer loans of up to $10 million at 1% interest to companies and nonprofits with fewer than 500 workers so they can cover two months of payroll and overhead expenses.
