Frequently Asked Questions

The SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This program provides small businesses with cash-flow assistance through 100% federally guaranteed loans.

Any small business that has been affected by COVID-19, has been in operation since February 15, 2020 and has fewer than 500 employees, including sole proprietorship, independent contractors, eligible self-employed individuals, non-profit and veterans organizations, or Tribal concerns.

Most small businesses can get a loan size up to 2.5x their average monthly payroll costs incurred during 2019. In evaluating a borrower’s eligibility, a lender may consider whether a seasonal borrower was in operation on February 15, 2020 or for an 8-week period between February 15, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

You may use the loan for payroll costs, employee salaries, costs related to the continuation of group healthcare benefits during paid leave (sick, family or medical), insurance premiums, mortgage interest payments, incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in place before February 15, 2020, or utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020.

The amount of loan forgiveness is generally calculated as payroll costs incurred 8 weeks after you accept your loan (excluding compensation over $100,000), as well as payment of mortgage interest, rent, or utilities during that time.

You will owe money when your loan is due if you use the loan amount for anything other than payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities payments over the 8 weeks after getting the loan. Per SBA program rules, payroll must be 75% of the forgiven amount and the remaining 25% must be spent on allowable expenses under the PPP Final Rule.

You will also owe money if you do not maintain your staff and payroll.

- Number of Staff: Your loan forgiveness will be reduced if you decrease your full-time employee headcount.
- Level of Payroll: Your loan forgiveness will also be reduced if you decrease salaries and wages by more than 25% for any employee that made less than $100,000 annualized in 2019.
- Re-Hiring: You have until June 30, 2020 to restore your full-time employment and salary levels for any changes made between February 15, 2020 and April 26, 2020.
- Salary, wages, commissions, or tips (capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee);
- Employee benefits including costs for vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave; allowance for separation or dismissal; payments required for the provisions of group health care benefits including insurance premiums; and payment of any retirement benefit;
- State and local taxes assessed on compensation
- For a sole proprietor or independent contractor: wages, commissions, income, or net earnings from self-employment, capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.

All payments are deferred for 6 months; however, interest will continue to accrue over this period, unless forgiven.
