SBA PPP loan COVID-19The Small Business Administration (SBA) has run out of money to fund the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which means the COVID-19 Small Business Relief Funds have currently been exhausted.

On its website, the SBA posted a notice that read, “The SBA is currently unable to accept new applications for the Paycheck Protection Program based on available appropriations funding.”
