PPP Program Changes: More Support for Farmers and Sole Proprietors

This act makes it easier for farmers, ranchers, and sole proprietors to receive larger loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). It modifies how the maximum loan amount is calculated, allowing them to use gross income, which can increase available funds. The act applies retroactively to previously issued loans and establishes a process for recalculation for those previously excluded.
Key points
Farmers, ranchers, and sole proprietors can now apply for higher PPP loans by including gross income in their calculations.
The changes apply to loans already issued, meaning some may be eligible for recalculation and potentially more support.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) will create a special process for those previously unable to request a loan recalculation.
