Congressman Kim Calls for Transparency in Paycheck Protection Program at Small Business Committee Hearing

Press Release

Today, Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) called for greater transparency for funds allocated through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and clarity for small business owners on loan forgiveness during a hearing of the House Small Business Committee on the PPP.

"This is one of the most important issues that I hear constantly about in my district in New Jersey," said Congressman Kim. "Reforms to the Paycheck Protection Program and making sure funds get into the hands of the people who need it the most is really a critical question."
