The assistance was needed, enabling small businesses and 501(c)3 organizations to obtain a loan to provide a bit of relief during the early days of lockdowns and closures. Fast forward many months into the pandemic and continued closures, and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was approved by congress. After being signed into legislation by President Trump on December 27, 2020, the Act authorized the second draw of PPP loans and expanded PPP eligibility. Second draw applications opened on January 13, 2021, for small businesses hoping to get assistance from the $25 billion being allocated for PPP loans. ## **Second Draw PPP Loan Details** The Second Draw PPP loan that is available through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 enables eligible small businesses to receive a second draw that essentially follows the same terms as their first loan. ### **Who qualifies for a Second Draw PPP Loan?** Those who are eligible for the second PPP Loan must meet certain criteria. 1. They received the first round of the PPP loan. 2. First round funds must have been or will be, used completely in authorized ways. 3. Must have no more than 300 employees. 4.

Vendor costs. ### **How much can a small business receive from the Second Draw PPP Loan?** Most eligible businesses will be able to receive 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs from 2019 and 2020, up to $2-million. However, businesses that are in the Accommodation and Food Services industry (see: [Navigate PEO’s industries served](http://navigatepeo.com/industries-served/)) can receive up to 3.5 times their monthly average. ### **How does a small business apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan?** On January 13, 2021, applications for the Second Draw PPP Loan began to be accepted.
