Federal Paycheck Protection Program Opens Up Again!
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will re-open this week for new borrowers and certain existing PPP borrowers. This round of the PPP authorizes up to $284 billion toward job retention and certain other expenses through March 31, 2021, and by allowing certain existing PPP borrowers to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan.
Key PPP updates include that should help local Tahoe businesses in Nevada and California:
- PPP borrowers can set their PPP loan’s covered period to be any length between 8 and 24 weeks to best meet their business needs;
- PPP loans will cover additional expenses, including operations expenditures, property damage costs, supplier costs, and worker protection expenditures;
- The Program’s eligibility is expanded to include 501(c)(6)s, housing cooperatives, direct marketing organizations, among other types of organizations;
- The PPP provides greater flexibility for seasonal employees;
A borrower is generally eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan if the borrower:
- Previously received a First Draw PPP Loan and will or has used the full amount only for authorized uses;
- Has no more than 300 employees; and
- Can demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020.

The following statement can be attributed to El Dorado County Communications Director, Carla Hass on January 12, 2021:
“Moments ago, the Greater Sacramento Region, of which El Dorado County is a part, was granted authority by the
State to exit the Regional Stay At Home Order, effective immediately. This is based on the State’s four-week
projection putting the region’s ICU capacity at 19.1%, above the 15% threshold announced last month.
“On behalf of our many businesses that have ceased their operations and residents who have curtailed their activities
during the Order that became effective on December 10, 2020, we are delighted by this news.
“However, this does not mean every business has the green light to open completely. We are designated in the Purple
widespread tier1 which means some relaxing of the Order allowing for limited operations and gatherings, but is the
most restrictive tier.
“Restaurants can operate outdoors, hair salons, barbershops and personal care services can operate indoors with modifications, places of worship can hold services outdoors, wineries can operate outdoors with modifications, and bars, breweries and distilleries can operate outdoors if they serve food.
“To learn what can open in Tier 1, please see the State Blueprint for a Safer Economy here:
https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/
“Additionally, the Limited Stay At Home Order placing a 10:00 pm-5:00am curfew on individuals remains in effect
until all Regions exit the Regional Stay At Home Order.
“Exiting the Regional Stay At Home Order is a welcomed move in the right direction, but we need to continue to do all we can to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 by keeping physical distance, wearing a mask, washing your hands and getting vaccinated.”
