National Updates

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM: The Small Business Administration announced yesterday, April 16, 2020 that the Paycheck Protection Program (part of the federal CARES Act recently passed by Congress), which offers forgivable loans to cover up to 2.5 months of payroll for businesses and other organizations, has run out of money. Banks have already obligated the nearly $350 billion initial appropriation for the PPP, and the SBA said that further loans cannot be processed at this time.

We at the Angel Fire Chamber, the New Mexico Chamber Executives Association, the NM Association of Commerce and Industry and the US Chamber are urging Congress to take swift action in providing additional funding for the PPP: Terri Cole, President & CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce said, “Short-term grants in the midst of this uncertain and destabilizing crisis are absolutely key to our economic recovery and will help limit the damage that this pandemic is causing in the private sector to employers and workers alike. Keeping Americans employed is an important national priority, and it’s important to our businesses as well.”

We will keep you updated about congressional negotiations on the future of the PPP and additional potential stimulus measures as they are made available.

Further guidance on the provisions of the CARES Act from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce can be found here.

Phased Federal Plan To Reopen The Economy

Yesterday, the Trump Administration announced a set of proposed guidelines for states, employers, and individuals to make data-informed decisions regarding re-opening the economy. Based on a set of criteria regarding new infections and hospital readiness, each phased step toward fully opening the economy includes recommendations for individuals and employers based on risk levels and sector. These guidelines can be modified by the Governors on a state-by-state or even regional basis as needed, and are dependent on mitigating further outbreaks.
