Schumer, Cardin, Sanders, And Coons to SBA Admin. Carranza: Small Businesses And Nonprofits Urgently Need Support—SBA Must Quickly Implement CARES Act Programs
Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Ranking Member Ben Cardin (D-MD), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) today sent a letter to Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Jovita Carranza, urging swift implementation of small business programs included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and designed to help the nation’s small businesses and nonprofits stay afloat during this unprecedented crisis. The Senators’ letter follows their Tuesday call with SBA Administrator Carranza, where they discussed the implementation of these vital programs.
The Senators emphasize that COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on employers and their workers across every industry and in every corner of the nation, leaving many small businesses struggling to absorb the significant loss of revenues caused by this public health crisis, and requires immediate, aggressive action by the federal government.
Senators Schumer, Cardin, Sanders, and Coons request the release of clear and comprehensive guidance clarifying how small businesses and nonprofits can receive timely assistance from the SBA, including: an implementation timeline and information on how businesses can access these programs and how lenders can facilitate loans; details on how SBA is coordinating with the Treasury Department to expedite the addition of new lenders to the certified SBA 7(a) lenders network; a commitment from SBA to a weekly report on loan program results; additional information regarding nonprofit eligibility and affiliation rules; additional guidance on SBA plans to ensure small, disadvantaged, and underserved businesses receive assistance; and information on debt relief for borrowers and operation of the Emergency Economic Injury Grant program.
