BERKELEY, NJ — The U.S. Small Business Administration and U.S. Treasury released details of the country's massive Paycheck Protection Program that helped 33 Berkeley businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

More than 4.9 million loans over $150,000 were made to businesses and nonprofit organizations across the country; the total amount for approved loans over that amount was more than $521 billion.

Around 22,000 businesses in New Jersey were approved for loans greater than $150,000. Read more: Coronavirus PPP Loans In NJ: Where The Money Went

The list of the recipients is below, although a number of businesses are now reporting that the list contains "some big errors," according to CNBC.

The loans are made by lending institutions including banks and credit unions and are guaranteed by the SBA. All PPP loans are subject to review by the SBA and all loans over $2 million are automatically reviewed by the SBA.

"Because a borrower is listed in the data as having a PPP loan does not mean that SBA has determined that the borrower complied with program rules or is eligible to receive a PPP loan and loan forgiveness," the SBA said in a statement about the data release.
