After much advocacy by businesses across the country, President Trump has signed a bill that includes key changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to
grant more flexibility
for businesses to meet the program’s repayment requirements. Key changes include:
- the 8-week period that businesses have to restore staffing levels to pre-pandemic levels is expanded to the earlier of 24 weeks or December 31, 2020;
- the rule that businesses must spend 75 percent of their loan on payroll has been changed to 60 percent. The remaining 40 percent can be spent on other forgivable expenses without reducing the forgivable amount of the loan;
- loan terms extended from two years to five years;
- program availability is extended from June 30, 2020, to December 30, 2020;
- clarification on the ability of PPP recipients to take advantage of employer-side payroll tax deferrals established in the CARES Act.
