Businesses who missed the previous deadline for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) now have another shot at applying for relief funding.
More than $130 billion remained available after June 30, the previous deadline to submit a PPP application. On July 4, President Donald Trump extended the deadline to Aug. 8.
PPP loans can be completely forgiven if funds are spent within a certain timeframe and limited to certain expenses. The Small Business Administration says more than $521 billion has been distributed through the program, and most loans have been for $50,000 or less.
