The CARES Act
“I just learned that the Department of Treasury issued an Interim Final Rule that resolves the question of churches accessing the Paycheck Protection program. The Interim Rule is found [here]. The Interim rule reiterates the Acts criteria for eligibility and affirms that tax-exempt nonprofit organizations described in Code Section 501(c)(3) are eligible. The last section of the Interim Rule contains this language, which should clarify that religious institutions, including churches, are eligible for these loans:” –Harold Loftin at Guidestone
