- Coronavirus: Senate passes surprise extension of application deadline for PPP loan: The Senate passed a surprise extension for the Paycheck Protection Program to August 8 by unanimous consent Tuesday night, just hours before it was set to close down. The legislation would extend the deadline for when the PPP can accept applications for forgivable loans. However, the House of Representatives will need to pass the legislation, and send it to President Donald Trump for his signature to keep the money flowing.
