2021 – 03/11 Even though the provisions of the newly passed American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) lean heavily toward individuals, there are several key provisions for businesses. For example, the ARPA introduces targeted Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grants from the Small Business Administration (SBA).
