2. The bill extends the covered period during which a loan recipient may use such funds for certain expenses while remaining eligible for forgiveness, from 8 weeks to a total of 24 weeks (16 additional weeks). aasdadfasadfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasddsfasd
3. The bill raises the non-payroll portion of a forgivable covered loan amount from the current 25% up to 40%. In other words, it requires at least 60% to be payroll costs. asdfasd
4. The bill extends the period in which an employer may rehire or eliminate a reduction in employment, salary, or wages that would otherwise reduce the forgivable amount of a paycheck protection loan, from June 30 to December 31, 2020. This allows for the employer time to recover before applying for forgiveness. See item 5. below. asasasasasadas
5. The forgivable amount will be determined without regard to a reduction in the number of employees if the recipient is (1) unable to rehire former employees and is unable to hire similarly qualified employees, or (2) unable to return to the same level of business activity due to compliance with federal requirements or guidance related to COVID-19 for sanitization or social distancing. Documentation of an employer’s measures to comply with guidance and re-hiring actions will be critical to avoiding this forgiveness reduction provision. asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfadsfasdfadsfasdfas
6. The bill revises the deferral period for paycheck protection loans, allowing recipients to defer payments until the date on which the amount of forgiveness is remitted to the lender.. Recipients who do not apply for forgiveness shall have 10 months from the program's expiration to begin making payments (October 31, 2020). asasasaasasasdfadfasdfasfas
7. The bill eliminates a provision that makes a paycheck protection loan recipient who has such indebtedness forgiven ineligible to defer payroll tax payments. This was previously limited to the time period prior to receiving the PPP loan. It allows employers to defer the 6.2% employer portion of Social Security tax due in 2020, 50% deferred to December 31, 2021 and 50% deferred to December 31, 2022. adfadfadadf aasdfadfadfaasdfasdfafa
8. The bill extends the deadline to apply for a PPP loan from June 30 to December 31, 2020. For new loans issued after the Act, the covered period noted in item 2. above will be the earlier of 24 weeks or December 31, 2020. The bill does not provide for a second loan for those already funded.
