Below is some guidance regarding the program terms and conditions:

This is not a full outline of all aspects of the programs but rather an overview to assist you in determining if you are eligible under either a Second Draw, or a First Draw, or a First Draw if you did not previously receive a PPP Loan during Round 1.  As you can see, the eligible expenses covered in the PPPL Program have been expanded to include PPE as well as other costs.

These programs are on a first come first serve basis, so if you want to participate, please get in contact with your bank as soon as possible.  Each bank functions a little differently, so work with your bank through the application process.

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM SECOND DRAW LOANS

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) now allows certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan with the same general loan terms as their First Draw PPP Loan. Second Draw PPP Loans can be used to help fund payroll costs, including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay for mortgage interest, rent, utilities, worker protection costs related to COVID-19, uninsured property damage costs caused by looting or vandalism during 2020, and certain supplier costs and expenses for operations.

Full Forgiveness Terms

Second Draw PPP Loans made to eligible borrowers qualify for full loan forgiveness if during the 8- to 24-week covered period following loan disbursement:
• Employee and compensation levels are maintained in the same manner as required for the First Draw PPP loan;
• The loan proceeds are spent on payroll costs and other eligible expenses; and
• At least 60 percent of the proceeds are spent on payroll costs.

A borrower is generally eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan if the borrower:
• Previously received a First Draw PPP Loan and will or has used the full amount only for authorized uses;
