Paycheck Protection Program (PPP):

PPP funds ran out yesterday. No pending application request will be funded until Congress approves more funding which currently is rumored to be $250 billion. It is not likely it will pass this weekend so we're looking at next week. Remember that the vote has to be unanimous. So there is a high hurdle for party leaders to get unanimous support.
