Stefanik Cosponsors Paycheck Protection for Producers Act

From the office of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik
 
Saratoga, NY – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is cosponsoring the Paycheck Protection for Producers Act, bipartisan legislation that will allow agricultural producers more flexibility when calculating their Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. This bill will allow producers to use their 2019 gross income rather than net income when calculating their PPP loan, therefore expanding eligibility to more farmers. Congresswoman Stefanik has previously worked directly with the Department of Treasury and SBA to ensure that farmers have access to these important programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
“I have spoken with countless farmers throughout the last few months who are truly facing an unprecedented challenge in responding to the COVID-19 crisis,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “I am proud to cosponsor this critical legislation to ensure that our farmers are given more flexibility with PPP loans. Many of our North Country farmers have utilized this program, and I will continue to advocate for them as they perform essential services and provide our communities with essential agricultural products.”
