paycheck protection program

Both Republicans and Democrats agreed that a small-business program that ran out of money needed a major infusion. Negotiators also added resources for hospitals and testing.

The burger chain and other large businesses were able to get the money because the program covers any company with fewer than 500 workers in a single location.

The Paycheck Protection Program, which opened on April 3, has been plagued with delays and technical difficulties. Republicans and Democrats agree on adding more funding, but they disagree on how.
