Joint Statement by Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin and
SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza on the Resumption of the
Paycheck Protection Program
April 24, 2020

WASHINGTON — U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin and Administrator of the Small
Business Administration (SBA) Jovita Carranza issued the following statement today on the
resumption of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP):
“We are pleased that President Trump has signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and
Health Care Enhancement Act, which provides critical additional funding for American workers
and small businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. We want to thank Leader
McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy for working with us on a
bipartisan basis to ensure that the Paycheck Protection Program is funded so that small
businesses can keep hardworking Americans on the payroll.
“The Small Business Administration will resume accepting PPP loan applications on Monday,
April 27 at 10:30AM EDT from approved lenders on behalf of any eligible borrower. This will
ensure that SBA has properly coded the system to account for changes made by the legislation.
“The PPP has supported more than 1.66 million small businesses and protected over 30 million
jobs for hardworking Americans. With the additional funds appropriated by Congress, tens of
millions of additional workers will benefit from this critical relief.
“We encourage all approved lenders to process loan applications previously submitted by
eligible borrowers and disburse funds expeditiously. All eligible borrowers who need these
funds should work with an approved lender to apply. Borrowers should carefully review PPP
regulations and guidance and the certifications required to obtain a loan.
“The Trump Administration is fully committed to ensuring that America’s workers and small
businesses continue to get the resources they need to get through this challenging time.”
