美国小企业救助计划（PPP）向许多申请企业错误地发放了两次救助金

美国政府系统出现技术问题，导致许多小企业从美国小企业救助计划（PPP）获得了两次或两次以上的疫情救助金发放。一名知情人士表示，政府和发放贷款的银行近几周来一直试图追回的数亿美元就来自于此。
令人惊讶的是，重复发放救助金的技术问题，此前并没有报道。这一错误是由SBA贷款申请处理系统中的一个盲点造成的：该系统无法识别一些借款人何时或是多少次提交了申请，因为重复的贷款申请是由几家不同的银行提交的。终归是政府系统的问题导致了救助金重复发放。
评论：美国政府这算人傻钱多吗？

A technical snafu in a U.S. government system caused many small businesses to receive loans twice or more under a federal aid program to help businesses hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly a dozen people with knowledge of the matter said. The technical issue and scale of the resulting duplicate deposits made under the Small Business Administration’s $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have not been previously reported. They are the latest issue to emerge with the massive program, which was designed to keep businesses hurt by the novel coronavirus afloat and their workers employed. The error was caused by a blind spot in the SBA’s loan processing system which failed to see when some borrowers submitted applications multiple times typically with several different lenders, three of the sources said.  source
