Here is the Schiff Dental Clients Update – Friday, April 24, 2020 4:30 PM

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Health Care Enhancement Act

President Trump has signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act at 12:30 PM EST today, Friday, April 24, 2020.

PPP Loan Application – update

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced today, they will resume accepting PPP loan applications on Monday, April 27 at 10:30AM EST from approved lenders. Please make sure your PPP Loan Applications are set up for “E-Tran” with your respective SBA Lender. The speculation for this delay is , there is hope that larger Corporations that received $10M (+/-), will return those funds to the SBA for redistribution to small business America.

If your Lender is NOT accepting applications, please consider a smaller lender in your market area.

Just a heads up – the speculation out there, is that these PPP funds will run out in 24 hours, not in days like last time (April 3, 2020).  There are that many pent-up PPP applications that are awaiting SBA approval. Time is of the essence! Please prepare your PPP Loan Application this weekend, if you have not done so.

Maryland Unemployment – update – Self Employed 

This morning at 7 AM EST, the Maryland Unemployment Division launched their new web site for the Self Employed. The web site went down , due to the fact there were 35,000 folks on the web site at one time. My suggestion is to apply after dinner tonight when the usage is less and hopefully access will be granted to you.

Here are the URL’s to consider using when applying for your Unemployment Benefits:

https://www.dllr.state.md.us/uim/employer/

Please stay well and enjoy the weekend!

My best
