SBA Provides PPP Loan Forgiveness Application & Instructions

May 20, 2020

Although loan forgiveness is one of the key features of the Paycheck Protection Program, guidance on forgiveness eligibility and information on how to seek forgiveness has been vague. On Friday, May 15, 2020 we received some clarity when the SBA released the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Application and detailed instructions for the application. Click here to view the application and instructions.

While the application and instructions for forgiveness do provide clarification on certain matters, there are still many questions that remain. The Treasury Department has issued a press release to announce that the SBA will provide additional guidance to further help borrowers as they fill out their application, as well as guidance for lenders on their responsibilities, in the near future. We will continue to provide additional updates as SBA provides new information.
