The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the Treasury Department, released a simpler loan forgiveness application for Paycheck Protection Pr...ogram (PPP) loans of $50,000 or less. This action streamlines the PPP forgiveness process to provide financial and administrative relief to America’s smallest businesses while also ensuring sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars. The PPP has provided 5.2 million loans worth $525 billion to American small businesses, providing critical economic relief and supporting more than 51 million jobs, said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. Today’s action streamlines the forgiveness process for PPP borrowers with loans of $50,000 or less and thousands of PPP lenders who worked around the clock to process loans quickly, he continued. We are committed to making the PPP forgiveness process as simple as possible while also protecting against fraud and misuse of funds. We continue to favor additional legislation to further simplify the forgiveness process. Nothing will stop the Trump Administration from supporting great American businesses and our great American workers. The Paycheck Protection Program has been an overwhelming success and served as a historic lifeline to America’s hurting small businesses and tens of millions of workers. The new form introduced today demonstrates our relentless commitment to using every tool in our toolbelt to help small businesses and the banks that have participated in this program, said Administrator Jovita Carranza. We are continuing to ensure that small businesses are supported as they recover. SBA and Treasury have also eased the burden on PPP lenders, allowing lenders to process forgiveness applications more swiftly.

Every year, we look forward to connecting with the Staten Island Business Community and celebrating our honorees who demonstrate business excellence with the highest standard of integrity, and civic and social responsibility through their work and volunteer roles in our community. But given the growing concerns around COVID-19, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our Women’s Empowerment Breakfast to 2021. This was a tough call to make but we need to prioritize the health and safety of our honorees, chairs, board, sponsors, employees, and guests who will attend our event. Please be sure every ticket that was purchased and sponsorship will be honored in 2021. Thank you and we look forward to celebrating in 2021.
