Understanding the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was a crucial initiative to assist businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. This program provided SBA-backed loans to help companies keep their workforce employed amid the economic downturn caused by the crisis. The loans were designed to cover payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities, ensuring that small businesses could maintain operations and support their employees.
Notably, the PPP loans were incentivized by the possibility of forgiveness if certain conditions were met, such as retaining employees and using the funds for eligible expenses. After several extensions and modifications to address ongoing needs, the Paycheck Protection Program concluded on May 31, 2021.

"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.- Michelle A.
When to Seek Legal Guidance
PPP fraud cases are often handled through the collaborative efforts of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Consequently, the stakes are high. If you suspect you are under investigation for PPP fraud, do not hesitate to seek legal guidance from a qualified firm like Raiser and Kenniff, P.C.. As a firm serving clients nationwide, we have the skill, resources, and experience to guide you.
Signs you may be under investigation for PPP loan fraud include:
- Receiving a subpoena: You or your business may receive a subpoena demanding documents or testimony related to your PPP loan.
- Contact from law enforcement: Federal agents, such as those from the FBI or SBA-OIG, may contact you directly, seeking interviews or information.
- Audit or review notification: The SBA or another oversight body may inform you of an audit or review of your PPP loan application and use of funds.
- Account freezes or seizures: Unexplained freezes or seizures of your bank accounts could indicate that investigators suspect fraudulent activity.
- Notification of lawsuit: Being named in a civil suit by the Department of Justice or any federal authority for PPP loan-related issues.
- Unannounced visits: Unexpected visits by government agents to your business or home.
