The Economic Aid Act has resulted in a new round of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. This new round includes First Draw (for Borrowers who did not previously receive a loan) and Second Draw (for Borrowers who received a First Draw loan) PPP loans. New rules have been released in conjunction with the program and can be found on the Treasury website. Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to understand the rules and determine your eligibility.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) has continued to release new guidance and additional information is expected. The accuracy of your loan and forgiveness applications is of the utmost importance, so we will continue to make changes to our process as needed. This may result in an extended turnaround time or additional communication with your representative.
The SBA believes that the recent program changes will meet the demand for this round of loans. They have also changed their approval process and have asked Banks and Customers to exercise patience. Banks will no longer receive SBA approval instantaneously as the SBA will be conducting front end compliance checks.
