The form to apply is part of the economic injury disaster loan application. If approved, these funds can be used for payroll and other operating expenses and will be forgiven. This advance may be available even if your EIDL application was declined or is still pending and will be forgiven.
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM
Paycheck Protection Program is designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on payroll by providing each small business a loan of up to $10 million for payroll and certain other expenses. If all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks, SBA will forgive the portion of the loans used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. Up to 100 percent of the loan is forgivable. The PPP resumed January 11th, 2021, and information about them found here: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/paycheck-protection-program
