Financial Help SBA Releases PPP Loan Forgiveness Application and Detailed Instructions [May 18] The SBA, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, released the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Application and detailed instructions for the application. The form and instructions inform borrowers how to apply for forgiveness of their PPP loans, consistent with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The SBA will soon issue regulations and guidance to further assist borrowers as they complete their applications, and to provide lenders with guidance on their responsibilities. The form and instructions include several measures to reduce compliance burdens and simplify the process for borrowers including: • Options for borrowers to calculate payroll costs using an “alternative payroll covered period” that aligns with borrowers’ regular payroll cycles. • Flexibility to include eligible payroll and non-payroll expenses paid or incurred during the eight-week period after receiving their PPP loan. • Step-by-step instructions on how to perform the calculations required by the CARES Act to confirm eligibility for loan forgiveness. • Borrower-friendly implementation of statutory exemptions from loan forgiveness reduction based on rehiring by June 30. Addition of a new exemption from the loan forgiveness reduction for borrowers who have made a good-faith, written offer to rehire workers that was declined. The documents released May 15 will help small businesses seek forgiveness at the conclusion of the eight week covered period, which begins with the disbursement of their loans. Download application. AGCA Working to Fix Flaw in Paycheck Protection Program Qualifications That Appears to Exclude Many Construction Firms [April 6] We wanted to alert you to a potentially very serious flaw in the way the Small Business Administration has crafted the qualification guidelines for its new Paycheck Protection Program loans and the steps we are taking to get the problem fixed as quickly as possible. Congress and the administration were clear when enacting the coronavirus relief measure that any firm employing 500 or fewer people should be eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program loans. The purpose of these loans is to keep businesses open so they can continue to operate and employ millions of Americans. Unfortunately, the Small Business Administration is needlessly delaying the loan applications of thousands of construction firms that clearly would meet the statutory threshold of 500 employers or less because the agency appears to have added a secondary qualification that is not part of the statute. That secondary qualification is the average annual receipts size standard used for construction. Applying that second standard will severely undermine the purpose of the new loan program by excluding many member firms from qualifying for the loan program. Click HERE to view some additional analysis of the flaw and what it means for member firms. That is why we have contacted officials within the Small Business Administration, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the White House and urged them to fix this flaw immediately. You can view a copy of our letter HERE. We have also alerted the media to this flaw, and you can read our media statement HERE. We will alert you as we work to have this flaw fixed. You can also learn more about the Paycheck Protection Program loans and the requirements for applying at the following Treasury Department site, and at the following link from the Small Business Administration. Federal Emergency Small Business Loan Starts TODAY [April 3] Beginning April 3, qualifying businesses can apply for loans under the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
