*It's not a cut in the traditional sense, you're borrowing the money from your future self.

People are always saying we won't see SS anyway, so does that mean we wouldn't pay this back?

No worries though, the corporate bailouts come directly from the general fund and won't need to be paid back.

So we wouldn't be paying the loans back until we're eligible for social security, and it would just delay our first SS check by a few months?

I think a lot of business relief did come in the form of loans, though

That's no loss to us. We this is the only return we were ever going to get from SS.

I'd take it. I don't plan to rely on SS when I retire, anyway. A 3 month delay is nothing too.

Fine with me considering I put a portion of it into my 401k while the market's been climbing up again.

Not all of them, but yeah. The PPP is forgiven if they spend 75% or more on payroll, e.g.
