Paycheck Protection Program: $150K+ Loans

In 2020, Congress created the Paycheck Protection Program to keep businesses afloat during COVID. $800 billion went out the door in two rounds. The loans were forgivable if used for payroll. Many were. Some weren't. The fraud was historic.

This is the SBA's public data for loans over $150,000. 968,000+ loans. Borrower, lender, amount, forgiveness status, jobs reported. Search it.

About this dataset

The SBA released PPP loan data in response to FOIA litigation and public pressure. Loans under $150K were initially anonymized; this dataset contains only loans at or above $150K, where borrower names are disclosed.

Loan status indicates whether the loan was fully paid, charged off, or is still active. Forgiveness amounts show how much of the loan was converted to a grant. A loan forgiven at 100% means the borrower kept the money.
