Snippet from Sen. Merkley’s office:

“The Administration/U.S. Treasury has not yet sent banks and credit unions the info they need to accept and process the new Payroll Protection Program (PPG) forgivable loans for small businesses and 501c3 organizations starting tomorrow.

“Senator Merkley has been recommending that small businesses should make contact with their local bank or credit union and ask to be put on an application list (many banks have started doing this). That way when the Administration releases details, the banks can get back to the small businesses.”
