On August 4, the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued new FAQs on Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness. The FAQs note that borrowers and lenders may rely on the FAQs as the SBA’s interpretation of the CARES Act, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (Flexibility Act), and all of the Paycheck Protection Program Interim Final Rules (available here). The FAQs cover various topics including (i) general loan forgiveness; (ii) loan forgiveness of payroll and nonpayroll costs, and types of costs that constitute payroll and nonpayroll costs; and (iii) loan forgiveness reductions.
