Plain-English summary
This bill prohibits the Small Business Administration from placing a cap that is less than $5,000 on any advance for an economic injury disaster loan that is made in response to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) to a veterans service organization (VSO) with only one employee. A VSO aids veterans with the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims under laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
