New, Revised PPP Forgiveness Applications

The Small Business Administration (SBA), in consultation with Treasury, has released both a new EZ and revised, full Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness application.

The new and revised forms come on the heels of a recent request made by over 40 bipartisan senators to simplify the forgiveness filing process for certain borrowers. Additionally, the updated forms released on June 17 follow updated PPP guidance released last week.

The updated guidance and forms move to implement the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA), which President Trump signed on June 5, 2020. The PPPFA aims to expand usability of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act’s PPP for small businesses.

Notably, both applications give borrowers the option of using the original 8-week covered period (if their loan was made before June 5, 2020) or the PPPFA’s extended 24-week covered period, according to Treasury’s June 17 press release. However, the EZ application requires fewer calculations and less documentation for eligible borrowers.
