Summary

This Blueacorn.co information page, titled "About PPP," describes the Paycheck Protection Program as a $953-billion business loan program established by the CARES Act in 2020 to supplement incomes lost or reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It says small businesses, self-employed individuals, freelancers and gig workers are eligible for the low-interest private loans, and that anyone who receives a 1099 or files a Schedule C is likely eligible. The page says the first round of funding ended in August of 2020 and gives the second round's closing date as March 31, 2020, with a potential extension to May 31, 2021. It states that Blueacorn is 100% free to applicants because the CARES Act mandates that the SBA pay a fee, split between Blueacorn and the lending bank, only if the loan is approved.
