This applies to businesses such as restaurants, personal service providers and seasonal businesses that have not received any payments or amounts from any other sourc- es, including insurance, to replace or compensate for the loss of sales revenue other than amounts from other gov- ernment assistance programs. As of July 15, 2020, the SSBEP program has paid out $31 million to 6,241 businesses with 3,527 of those businesses receiving $10,000 over two installments.
