When I found out that the stimulus bill included TEN BILLION DOLLARS for the USPS I sent our representatives Brian Schatz, Mazie Hirono, Ed Case, and Tusli Gabbard an email asking why I should be getting taxed for this when the USPS does not service rural Hawaii.
Here were the responses:
Ed Case:
You're message was forwarded to me as I handle USPS issues for Congressman Ed Case's district office.
The USPS has certain policies which restrict it from offering residential mail delivery to certain rural locales. If you would like, I can take down your address and have USPS respond as to why residential mail delivery is not available in your area and provide some options available for you and others.
Mahalo,
Chad
Brian Schatz:
UPDATE: PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM
Updated guidance for this program is available here.
Updated information includes:
• Loans are available through June 30, 2020. To have the full 8-weeks of allowable costs forgiven, you should apply before May 5, 2020, so that all of your forgivable costs are incurred before June 30, 2020.
• Small businesses and sole proprietorships can begin applying for loans on April 3, 2020.
• Independent contractors and those who are self-employed can begin applying on April 10, 2020.
• Contact your lender to begin the application process. Additional guidance, including a copy of the borrower application, can be accessed here.
• For any loan amounts not forgiven, the term is two years and the interest rate is set at 0.5 percent. There are no loan fees and no prepayment fee. The terms for all PPP loans will be the same for every borrower.

That is what I have received so far. Two non-answers.
