If you are thinking of applying for a PPP loan and haven’t yet, the deadline to apply is June 30, 2020. No additional applications will be accepted after June 30th.

If your business receives a loan from the Paycheck Protection Program, you can apply to have some or all of your loan forgiven (which means you don’t have to pay it back) if you spend the money on certain expenses within 24 weeks of receiving the loan. To be eligible for loan forgiveness, you must spend at least 60% of the loan on payroll for employees (salary/wages, health insurance, retirement, paid leave, and state unemployment taxes) and no more than 40% of the loan on rent, utilities (including phone and internet bills), and mortgage interest.
