About the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act 
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses.

Importantly, these loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payrolls afterward. The administration has released initial guidelines; they are available at www.treasury.gov.

Small businesses and sole proprietors can begin applying on  April 3.
Independent contractors and self-employed individuals can apply beginning on April 10.
