Paycheck Protection Program

Federal Reserve report: 75% of $800 billion PPP didn't reach workers

Study shows taxpayers billed $4 for every $1 that reached employees

A new report from two officers of the Federal Reserve has concluded that the vast majority of the billions of dollars spent for the Paycheck Protection Program, instituted to help save jobs when officials shut down America's economy over the COVID-19 pandemic, went astray.

The report comes from William R. Emmons, lead economist in the Supervision Division at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and Drew Dahl, an economist at the bank.

"Based on the known distributions of incomes among workers in small businesses, as well as on the incomes of bank and small-business owners (both PPP loan recipients and their suppliers), the authors estimated that 72% of PPP funds were captured by households with incomes in the top 20% of the national distribution," the report said.
