PPP Loan Forgiveness
As your Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) lender, we want to assist you in preparing and applying for forgiveness for your 2021 PPP loan. The following provides helpful information in determining forgiveness eligibility, terms, how and when to apply, and which application you should use.
What is PPP Loan Forgiveness?
There are two separate and distinct components that make up PPP
- The first is your application for funding (SBA Form 2483)
- The second is your application to apply for forgiveness (SBA forms 3508S, 3508, or 3508EZ)
Borrowers may be eligible for loan forgiveness by the SBA if loan funds were used for eligible payroll costs, payments on business mortgage interest payments, rent, utilities, or employer expenses associated with Covid during the elected 8- 24-week covered period.
A borrower can apply for forgiveness once it has used all loan proceeds for which the borrower is requesting forgiveness.
If borrowers do not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period, then PPP loan payments are no longer deferred, and borrowers will begin making loan payments to their PPP lender.
