Main Street Lending Program

The Federal Reserve established the Main Street Lending Program to support small and medium-sized businesses and nonprofit organizations that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you participate in the Paycheck Protection Program, you may also apply for Main Street Lending.

Small and medium-sized businesses interested in the Program can apply for Program loans by contacting an eligible lender. More information for qualified borrowers, including a listing of registered lenders accepting new customers and have elected to be listed, can be found on the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Information for Borrowers website.

Be Aware!

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a warning that scammers are already trying to take advantage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES act). The IRS plans to use previous tax return information to deposit the stimulus money into your account or send you a paper check as an alternative.

The IRS offered tips on how to identify fraudulent emails or call, emphasizing that any communication from the IRS will describe the funds as an "economic impact payment," not a "stimulus check."

  • Don't "verify information:" Scammers may try to get you to "verify" your filing information in order to receive an economic impact payment. They will use your personal information at a later date to file false tax returns.
  • Don't provide bank or Paypal account information: The IRS will not call and ask you to verify your payment details. Do not give out your bank account, debit account, or PayPal account information - even if someone claims it's necessary to get your check. It's a scam.
  • Don't click on email or text links with claims about getting money faster: Delete the email or text as it is a scam.
  • Be skeptical about checks you may receive now, especially if it is for an uneven amount or includes cents: If you receive a "check" in the mail now, it's a fraud - it will take the Treasury a few weeks to mail out the economic impact payment checks. If you receive a "check" for an odd amount (especially one with cents), or a check that requires that you verify the check online or by calling a number, it's a fraud.
