Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
Please Note: PPP funds are no longer available, we are only able to accept forgiveness applications at this time.
From its introduction in April 2020, the PPP program was reauthorized and amended as needed in response to the duration of the pandemic. The resources provided here have been updated to include the most recent program forgiveness forms as of July 2021. Additional information and resources are available from both SBA.gov and Treasury.gov.
PPP Loan Forgiveness
PPP borrowers may be eligible for loan forgiveness if the funds were used for eligible payroll costs, payments on business mortgage interest payments, rent, or utilities during either the 8- or 24-week period after disbursement.
You can apply for forgiveness once you have used all loan proceeds for which you are requesting forgiveness any time up to the maturity date of the loan. However, if you do not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the covered period, then PPP loan payments are no longer deferred and you will need to begin making the payments.
