Hearing: Paycheck Protection Program: An Examination of Loan Forgiveness, SBA Legacy Systems, and Inaccurate Data

Subcommittee on Innovation and Workforce Development (Committee on Small Business)

Thursday, September 24, 2020 (10:00 AM)

2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The SBA launched the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to provide an incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. However, SBA’s legacy technology systems were not fully equipped to handle the unprecedented level of applicants, resulting in a number of technical issues with the implementation. Members of the Committee will have an opportunity to address these issues and the related concerns about the accuracy of the recently released PPP data, as well as learn more about SBA’s new system for PPP forgiveness.
