PPP Flexibility Act Signed into Law by POTUS
As another work week concludes in America, PPP borrowers have received a new set of changes to the SBA PPP program that has drastically altered the program as we know it. As many of our loyal readers are aware, frequent changes “come with the turf” as the rules surrounding PPP loans are modified on a weekly, if not more frequent basis.
Round 1 borrowers are particularly impacted as they approach the end of their 56-week covered period. These borrowers are left wondering “what do we do now” given that a new law has just been passed. Of course, the SBA will still have to weigh-in on the PPP Flexibility Act and issue new Interim Final Rules (IFR) creating regulations for borrowers to follow. If the CARES Act is any indication, new IFRs could take weeks if not months to be created and may cause even more confusion than the law itself.
Our team has reviewed the most recent version of the PPP Flexibility Act. The following is a summary of the key changes to the PPP that were created by the PPP Flexibility Act. We also provide additional insight into the questions that still remain.
