Overview
On December 27, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. The Act includes a roughly $900 billion COVID-19 relief package, known as the “Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act” (“Economic Aid Act”). The Economic Aid Act made available approximately $284.5 billion in new Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) funding and reopened the PPP for initial and second-draw loans on terms that are generally favorable to nonprofits. The American Rescue Plan Act, which became law on March 11, allocates an additional $7.25 billion in funds to the PPP. The deadline to apply for a PPP loan under the American Rescue Plan Act was March 31, 2021. The PPP Extension Act of 2021, which became law on March 30, extends the PPP application deadline to May 31, 2021. The PPP Extension Act also provides an additional 30 days until June 30 for the SBA to finish processing applications received by the May 31 application deadline.
