Paycheck Protection Program

Opens up for independent contractors and sole proprietors this Friday, April 10^th.

All businesses please check with your lender about the application.

Treasury funded an additional $250 Billion for this program.

The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.

SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.

If you haven’t checked with your lender please do so.

The U.S. Treasury released the Interim Final Rule for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) on the evening of April 2^nd and additional clarification has been developing daily.

Once the app is downloaded, individuals will be given a random ID number and the app will anonymously cache the individual’s locations throughout the day. Individuals are encouraged to categorize their movements into different groups such as work or grocery. It will only store the location of any place a person visits for 10 minutes or more, and the ID number of each individual contains no personal information besides location data.

If you would ever test positive, it will help you and report where you were while you were asymptomatic. It will help the NDDoH reduce the spread of COVID-19 by more efficiently and effectively identifying individuals who may have had contact with people who have tested positive.
