So a small biz can get 2 months of payroll costs forgiven? If so, won't every

Do you know how they determine eligibility for the loan?

Also, a significant concern includes how soon funds can be made available

Boogers, could I have my staff collect unemployment while I’m closed, then

Do you know if the 10,000 advance/grant will be deducted from SBA7A forgiveness?
