PPP guidance diverges from CARES Act: SBA watchdog

The Small Business Administration's guidance on authorized uses of Paycheck Protection Program loans does not align with the CARES Act, the agency's inspector general reported.
The IG report notes that while the law does not set any restrictions on the portion of loans that must be used for payroll, an SBA interim final rule sets a 75 percent threshold.
The report also notes that the SBA's maturity term of two years undershoots the law's maximum term of up to 10 years, which could result in an unintended burden to PPP borrowers.
