The Small Business Administration issued two interim final rules on Paycheck Protection Program requirements.
 
One interim final rule focuses on loan review procedures and related borrower and lender responsibilities, such as:
  • SBA reviews of individual PPP loans.
  • Borrower representations and statements that SBA will review.
  • What lenders should review.
  • The timeline for lender decisions on loan forgiveness applications.
  • What lenders should do if notified that SBA is reviewing a PPP loan.
  • Lender fees subject to clawback if SBA determines a borrower is ineligible.
 
The other interim final rule provides details on loan forgiveness, including:
  • The general process to obtain loan forgiveness.
  • Payroll and nonpayroll costs eligible for loan forgiveness.
  • Reductions to the Loan Forgiveness Amount based on reduced employees or compensation.
  • Documentation requirements, including SBA Form 3508.
 
The new rules follow the release this week of a Procedural Notice on submitting the initial SBA Form 1502 to report on PPP loans and collect the processing fees on fully disbursed loans. Under a separate interim final rule, the deadline to submit the initial SBA Form 1502 for PPP loans is now the later of: (1) May 29, 2020, or (2) 10 calendar days after disbursement or cancellation of the PPP loan.

PPP Loans Making A Difference
Since the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) launched in early April, Georgia’s community bankers rose to the occasion, helping thousands of small business customers. “Our members worked countless hours during April to help the customers secure aid,” stated John McNair, President & CEO of Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA). “I could not be prouder of what members accomplished in support of Georgia’s economy and the economies of so many communities. Each PPP loan represents tens, or even hundreds, of jobs preserved in this time of crisis.”

Read the full article  in CBA's latest issue of bi-monthly magazine Georgia Communities First. Thanks to First National Bank of Coffee County, Douglas,  First Peoples Bank, Pine Mountain, Flint Community Bank, Albany, Greater Community Bank, Rome, and Peach State Bank & Trust, Gainesville for sharing their stories and photos.  Check out the May/June 2020 issue.
