Cass County received over 26 million in forgivable PPP loans

During the hardest times of the pandemic, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was established in 2020 through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The main purpose was to help select businesses, self-employed workers, sole proprietors, certain nonprofit organizations, and tribal businesses to continue to pay their workers during the shuttering of business. Two and a half years later both success stories and fraudulent claims work their way through the media outlets. According to statistics found online Cass County has received a boon of over 27 million dollars, with over 26 million forgiven by the federal government. The $953-billion business loan program was established by the United States federal government during the Donald Trump administration.
