The federal stimulus package, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act is a $2.2 trillion package to provide additional help for businesses, workers, and the health care system available. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program, the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses that maintain their payroll during this emergency. Importantly, these loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payrolls afterward.
