\nshelter in place thus causing the U.S. economy to freeze-up, resulting in
\nmillions of lost jobs. The U.S. Congress passed legislation to try and limit
\nthe economic damage. Included in the legislation was a stimulus package that
\nwould give $1,200 to single tax filers making $75,000 or less and $2,400 to
\nmarried couples making $150,000 or less. The purpose of the payment was to give
\npeople emergency funds and to stimulate the economy. Also included was
\nthe CARES Act that provided the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP was
\na program administered by the Small Business Administration that was targeted
\nat small businesses. It provided for a government loan that was
\nforgivable if used to pay employees\u2019 salaries and benefits, mortgages, rent,
\nand utilities. According to the SBA website, “[t]he Paycheck Protection
\nProgram is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses
\nto keep their workers on the payroll.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nand financial services exclusively to current and former members of the
\nmilitary as well as their family members. USAA has an excellent
\nreputation as a well-run organization and for giving its members good service.
\nMany USAA members maintain checking accounts with it. Some of those members who
\nhave checking accounts had overdrawn their balances and had a negative balance
\nin their accounts. When the $1,200 or $2,400 stimulus check was deposited, USAA
\nused those amounts to offset the negative balances in some of its members\u2019
\naccounts. Members were not informed in advance that this would be the case.
\nThis resulted in some USAA members not having any access to the stimulus money.
\nThe action USAA took in crediting the funds to existing account deficits was

\nIt currently operates 124 locations in the U.S. and overseas. As of May 4,
\n2020, the company had a market capitalization of $2.06 billion. The company is
\npublicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2019, Shake Shack\u2019s CEO
\nreceived $2.3 million in compensation. Shake Shack applied for and received a
\nloan of $10 million under PPP. The loan was permissible under a provision
\nin PPP that allows restaurant chains to apply when each location has fewer than
\n500 employees. Shortly after Shake Shack received the loan, the PPP ran out of
\nfunds and many small businesses did not receive loans.<\/p>\n

\nYou are expected to answer the requirements identified below showing the
\nconnection between the case scenario facts and the course material. Using
\ncourse material goes beyond defining terms and are used to explain the ‘why and
\nhow’ of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the
\ndiscussion by explaining how something happens <\/i>or why something
\nhappens<\/i>, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop,
\nyou will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an
\nunderstanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented in a case
\nscenario, the course material and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two
\nin-text citations from the course material throughout the entire paper will not
\nearn many points on an assignment. The use of a variety of course material is
\nexpected consistently supporting what is presented. The support must be
\nrelevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for
\nmentioning a term or concept but by clearly and thoroughly explaining or
\ndiscussing the question at hand.<\/p>\n

\n they ethically should take going forward. This is not about what
\n they should have done in the past, but rather speak to actions they should
