Last year, Barbara Thigpen had a difficult choice to make: close her salon of 10 years, or dip into her son s college fund.
The salon had been closed for much of the year by California s state mandate due to the pandemic. Then the government said it was offering a third round of Paycheck Protection Program loans. Thigpen thought she had found her solution.
She applied for a PPP loan on February 20 of this year, hoping the money would arrive in time to help keep the lights on at her Jason Rose Salon, in San Rafael. But her loan application has been stuck in limbo. Her son s college fund is now footing the electric bill.
