Given how quickly this program was rolled out, there are those who inadvertently didn’t follow the rules, finding themselves trying not to be lumped in with those who committed actual fraud.
One report out of University of Texas estimated that roughly 15%, or 1.8 million of the program’s 11.8 million loans, totaling $76 billion had at least one indication of potential fraud.

The Payroll Protection Program (PPP) gives emergency funds to small businesses struggling financially. It minimizes the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. Employers get payroll loan support for up to 8 weeks including its benefits.
This program also helps pay rent, cover bills, and reimburse applicable overhead. It originated from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The Small Business Administration (SBA) backs the payroll deduction loans. They get support from the Department of Treasury
