New and Revised Guidance Regarding PPP – Forms Available
John McNair, President & CEO, Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA), recently wrote to Senator Perdue and Senator Loeffler asking for their support in providing much needed clarity for Georgia’s community banks and their small business customers as they process the Paycheck Protection Program. The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, issued new and revised guidance for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This guidance implements the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA), signed into law by President Trump on June 5, 2020, and expands eligibility for businesses with owners who have past felony convictions.
In the letter, Mr. McNair stated, “As you know, community banks were the true heroes of the PPP program. In the all-important Round #1 of PPP, with Georgia’s small business suffering from the effects of the forced economic shutdown, community bankers from all across our great state literally worked day and night to navigate the ever changing rules and requirements to make sure the small businesses of their communities were served. The strong commitment of Georgia’s community banks continued into Round #2 and remains fervent to this day.
SBA issued revised PPP fillable application forms to conform to these changes. The guidance and revised application forms are available on CBA’s website as well as on the SBA’s and Treasury’s websites. SBA will issue additional guidance regarding loan forgiveness and a revised forgiveness application to implement the PPPFA in the near future.

- Community Banks Making A Difference - Thanks to Heritage Bank, Rico’s Mexican Restaurant in Stockbridge was able to retain 95% of their employees.
