Based on the updated “Interim Guidance” released in the evening on 4/2/2020, here are some key clarifications of the PPP since our webinar:
Interest rate is now listed as 1% for the loan
2 year term, 6 months of deferral of payments
Application form was updated to add additional categories at the top
Fact sheet is more specific about how the PPP interacts with sick pay, family leave policies, and other credits
Employers can ONLY use EITHER the PPP or the Employee Retention Credit. Thank you, Winningham Becker, for this update. See a summary of the credit here.
Independent contractors do not count as employees for purposes of the loan. They are able to apply for their own loan starting April 10.
Additional documentation will be needed along with the application form. Per the interim guidance:
