Treasury Guidelines for PPP Loan Forgiveness
On May 22, the U.S. Treasury Department issued new regulations on PPP loan forgiveness, which may make it more difficult for some PPP borrowers to qualify for loan forgiveness. Under the new regulations:
- The SBA can review any loan at any time
- The loan forgiveness process could take up to five months
- The PPP borrower is responsible for calculating the loan forgiveness amount
- Loan forgiveness is tied to having the same number of full-time employees the PPP borrower referenced in its PPP loan application
