 Larger Businesses and COVID-19: Financial

 Relief and Assistance Resources



 Updated   January   13, 2021
 This CRS Insight presents selected resources and CRS products on economic relief and assistance for
 medium and large businesses that were directly affected by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
 pandemic.
 The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, contains
 provisions to assist businesses. This Insight focuses on sources of assistance designated for medium and
 large businesses that do not qualify for Small Business Administration programs or other assistance
 programs for small businesses. For small business assistance programs, see CRS Insight IN11301, Small
Businesses and COVID-19: Relief and Assistance Resources, by Maria Kreiser.
Note that this Insight may not include every instance of federal assistance to medium or large firms
provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

small- and medium-sized businesses); and July 17, 2020 (extended credit to nonprofit organizations).
The Main Street Lending Program began accepting lender registrations on June 15, 2020, and three credit
facilities became fully operational on July 6, 2020-the Main Street New Loan Facility (MSNLF), the
