What To Know About The Paycheck Protection Program, Round Two

Unpacking the Economic Aid Act: Consolidated First Draw PPP Interim Final Rule, New First Draw PPP Loans, and Increases to First Draw PPP Loans (January 14, 2021)

Late on January 6, 2021, the Small Business Administration (the "SBA") and the Department of Treasury released an Interim Final Rule called "Business Loan Program Temporary Changes; Paycheck Protection Program as Amended by Economic Aid Act" (sometimes referred to as the "Consolidated First Draw PPP IFR" or the "IFR"). That rule restates existing regulatory provisions into a single regulation on borrower eligibility, lender eligibility, and loan application or origination requirement issues for new First Draw PPP Loans, as well as general rules relating to First Draw PPP Loan increases and loan forgiveness.
