The US Small Business Administration (SBA) will launch a streamlined Paycheck Protection Program forgiveness portal to allow borrowers with PPP loans of $150,000 or less to apply for forgiveness directly through the SBA. On August 4, the portal will begin accepting applications from borrowers that have a PPP loan with a lender that has opted into the forgiveness portal.

“The SBA’s new streamlined application portal will simplify forgiveness for millions of our smallest businesses — including many sole proprietors — who used funds from our Paycheck Protection Program loans to survive the pandemic,” said Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman.  “The vast majority of businesses waiting for forgiveness have loans under $150,000. These entrepreneurs are busy running their businesses and are challenged by an overly complicated forgiveness process. We need to deliver forgiveness more efficiently so they can get back to enlivening our Main Streets, sustaining our neighborhoods and fueling our nation’s economy.”   “The SBA is making the forgiveness process more efficient for small businesses so they can recover more fully, get back on track and grow,” said SBA Acting Regional Administrator Bernard J. Paprocki. “The largest segment of Paycheck Protection Program loans awaiting forgiveness in the Atlantic Region are $150,000 or less. Small businesses and non-profits with a PPP loan through a lender that opts into this portal will be able to apply for forgiveness through this easier method.”

 The new forgiveness portal will help rush relief to over 6.5 million smallest of small businesses which have been the Administrator’s priority since day one. The SBA also is standing up a PPP customer service team to answer questions and directly assist borrowers with their forgiveness applications. Borrowers needing assistance or with questions can call 1-877-552-2692, Monday – Friday, 8 am to 8 pm ET. Lenders must opt into the program through https://directforgiveness.sba.gov.
