The Small Business Administration released data on the Paycheck Protection Program loans it doled out to date early Monday. The PPP was a major part of the CARES Act legislation signed this spring, intended to prop up the economy as the COVID-19 pandemic began impacting the US.
The agency released the data in two pieces – one includes loans under $150,000. This data doesn’t include the names or other identifying details for the businesses that accepted the loans.

Who got the cash
For all loans over $150,000, the SBA released full details, including who obtained the loans.
Taken together, the SBA handed out 7,562 loans to businesses in Idaho – with the majority of those falling under the $150,000 threshold.
The SBA handed out at least $1.152 billion in loans to Idaho businesses. The number is likely much higher, because the agency only reported dollar ranges for the larger loan amounts. We calcuated the total based on the smallest possible loan each business could have obtained (for instance, Alliance Medical Group obtained a loan between $5 million and $10 million, which we calculated at the smallest amount – $5 million).
The data reports that the loans helped the businesses retain a total of 305,422 jobs.
Though the government handed out the money in the form of loans underwritten by the SBA, however some or all of the money can be forgiven if certain requirements are met – essentially turning the loans into grants.
