The Small Business Administration (SBA) today released a revised PPP loan forgiveness application as part of its implementation of changes made by the PPP Flexibility Act.
The SBA has also released a new EZ version of the forgiveness application that applies to borrowers that:
– Are self-employed and have no employees; OR
– Did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%, and did not reduce the number or hours of their employees; OR
– Experienced reductions in business activity as a result of health directives related to COVID-19 and did not reduce the salaries or wages of their employees by more than 25%.
You can download that form here: new EZ Forgiveness Application
The new EZ application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers. Details regarding the applicability of these provisions are available in the instructions to the new EZ application form.
Both applications give borrowers the option of using the original eight-week covered period (if their loan was made before June 5, 2020) or an extended 24-week covered period.
For more information on how these changes may impact you, please contact your lender or your business lawyers at Davis Miles McGuire Gardner.
