PPP Loan Forgiveness Applications Due
If you received a PPP Loan and spent the funds properly, the loan is fully forgivable, but you must submit the application within 10 months after the last day of the "Covered Period".
Things to know:
- It is highly recommended that you apply for forgiveness before the first PPP loan payment is due
- The "Covered Period" is 8 or 24 weeks after the disbursement of the PPP funds. Once that period ends, your loan payments are deferred for 10 months
- If you do not apply for forgiveness within 10 months after the last day of the "Covered Period", then the PPP loan payments and interest are no longer deferred.
