Some of the key areas that will be discussed include:

PPP 1 and PPP 2:

  • SBA deadlines to apply for PPP 1 and PPP 2 loans through March 31, 2021
  • Business type eligibility (and ineligibility) including certain non-profit organizations
  • SBA affiliation rule overview
  • Calculating the maximum PPP loan borrowing amount
  • PPP loan terms, maturity date, and loan forgiveness application deadlines
  • Updated definition of the “Covered Period” to utilize a PPP loan
  • Expanded permittable uses of a PPP loan, including new eligible “Covered” expenses such as:
    • Operations expenditures
    • Property damage costs
    • Supplier costs
    • Worker protection expenditures
  • SBA definition of business “gross receipts” and the impact gross receipts have on a business qualifying for a PPP 2 loan
  • Reapplying for a PPP 1 loan if all or a portion of the loan was originally returned or the borrower did not accept the full eligible loan prior
  • Updated “simplified” loan forgiveness for PPP loans less than or equal to $150,000
  • Reversal of and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) Grant as a reduction of PPP loan forgiveness

Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”):

  • Extension and expansion of ERC
  • Determining factors of qualifying for the ERC
  • Financial reporting periods impacted that may qualify for the credit
