The Small Business Administration posted Wednesday morning a revised Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness application implementing the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump on June 5.
The SBA, in consultation with Treasury, also published a new EZ version of the forgiveness application for 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%.
The EZ application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers. Details on the applicability of these provisions are available in the instructions to the application form.
