Relief Available to Contractors Under the CARES Act
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provides several programs, such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a forgivable loan, and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) low-interest federal disaster loan program, which are a lifeline for small businesses and inject capital just when it’s needed most.
