Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Forgiveness:
Forgiveness Information for PPP Loans less than $50,000
The Small Business Administration released a streamlined loan forgiveness application for Paycheck Protection Program loans totaling $50,000 or less.
The simplified forgiveness application, Form 3508S, includes certifications from the borrower but does not require calculations to be submitted with the application. Applicants must submit documentation verifying forgivable payroll and non-payroll expenses. Borrowers are required to retain the documentation supporting their certifications for six years.
We are in the process of determining the next steps for PPP loan customers who borrowed less than $50,000.

Extended Deferral Period
The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (Flexibility Act) extended the deferral period for borrower payments of principal, interest, and fees on all PPP loans to the date that SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender (or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness covered period). The extension of the deferral period automatically applies to all PPP loans.
Lenders are required to give immediate effect to the statutory extension. The Small Business Administration does not require a formal modification to the promissory note.
